regardless of a statement made by Capt
NanderS of Trinity upon arriving in town
yesterday afternoon.
Capt %anders said he had heard of the
rumor that Trinity expected to defeat
Cornell. This. he said. is an incorrect
impression. He said his team was very
light and that he did not expect to make
much of a showing against the men III
red, who greatly outweighed the boys
from Connecticut
The practice yesterday afternoon was

Middies Are Careful.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. November 21.-No
other work than short signal practice
was done by the Navy team yesterday
afternoon and the coaches will have the
regulars as much as possible in the game
against Virginia Polytechnic Institute to-
day.
The coaches will have a delicate prob
lem unless the Midshipmen can run the
visitors off their feet at the start. as 1t
is the intention to take out almost all the
regulars after lew minutes of play, and
if the Virginians play strongly the Mid
shipmen may not be able to run up a
score sufficient to win be fore the regulars
go out.
However there are strong subs for
every position. and If the regulars leave
any kind of advantage they should
be able to hold the visitors during the
rest of the game.
The feeling here is that it would be
better to lose todays game than to
weaken the team before the Army game.
Reiffsnider. right end. bruised his side
last Saturday. and he may not get in the
game. Ii he is out, Conn will take his
place.
