Chance to Beat Harvard.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 2.-Prac-
tice at the Naval Academy this week con-
tinues to be inspired with the one idea of
winning from Harvard Saturday if
possible. Yesterday afternoon a spirited
battle with the scrubs took the place of
the University of Maryland game. which
had been cancelled, and the scrub was
helped most of the time by Howard and
Douglas, former navy stars and now of
the coaching staff.
The latter gave the regulars chance

plays particularly the formation in
which two of the backs stand ready to re-
ceive the ball for punt so as TO keep
their opponents in doubt as to which Will
receive it.
Only one score was made in the fifteen
minutes of play. touchdown after a
25-yard run by Large.
Several of the regulars took a rest.
Reinecke was substituted for Meyer at
left guard, and the ends were cared for
by Cobb and Bischoff. Reifsnider and
King being on the side lines. Right half
was occupied for time by both Clay and
Dalton, it being a matter of doubt as to
which will finally fill the place.

ton that was surprising, and II was only
when Thorpe twisted his ankle that war
ner sent him to the cage for treatment,
because he did not wish to further risk
this valuable kicker and runner.
Local foot ball observers are not back
ing Carlisle to win against Pennsylvania
with any enthusiasm, bets having been
made here Tuesday night which did not
indicate much confidence in the Indians.
Every one who realizes the Indian team
ability says that the loss of Fullback
Hauser is almost irreparable and that OF
Aiken almost as serious, while the Red
skins ends may not be taken care of as
well they were last year.
