PHILADELPHIA. November 6.-The
University OF Pennsylvania foot ball team
had a disappointing practice yesterday
afternoon. This was due in part TO the
injured condition of several Of the best
players on the team notably Keinath
and Capt. Hollnnback. But I'm spite of
their injuries the coaches piled on the
work and gave the men one of the hard
est scrimnages they have had this sea-
son. On account Of his slow recovery. it
is doubtful whether keinath can last out

lowed to start. Means was kept at his

PREPARING FOR VIRGINIA.
Georgetown Anxious to Defeat
Southern Rivals

Yesterday the Georgetown foot ball
squad again got to work after their de-
feat al Fordham. The boys and their
supporters are all anxious to trim Vir-
ginia and the team will work hard to be
in shape for fierce game. They are con-
fident that they can trim the Charlottes-
Vile eleven and their feeling is backed up
by Coach Newman, who says that a vic
tory is certain.
From now on all hands are working to-
ward the one object. Yesterday only light
work was INDUCED in, but today scrim
mage will be begun and the two lne-ups
will be pushed hard by their leaders. The
practice will be behind closed gates and
will continue that way until a week from
Saturday. If necessary evening work Will
be done in the gym. In short. no stone is
to he left unturned by the Georgetown
contingent that might aid in making the
team stronger. faster and better.
Capt. Miller said that a great number
of old stars have promised to be around
every night next week to help put the
bunch into shape Percy Givens will be
on the job to teach the center men. while
Tom Neil will take care of the tackles.
Edmonston will also spend time with the
line Doc Owens is to have charge Of
the ends and Leslie Martell will put in
some work with the back field. OF course
all of these will be under Head Coach
Newman. who Will have full say about
what is done.
The injured list after tile Fordham game
is greater than was at first thought. Capt.
Miller is in a general breakdown and has
been ordered by his doctor not to do any
work on the gridiron until the middle of
next week McNuty has badly twisted
ankle However. it is coming along nicely,
so he may be expected around by Monday.

Hyatt was taken from the scrub and

With the weakened team the varsity
scored twice against the scrubs during the

able to get on the field by o'clock, owing
to the discontinuance of drills for the

FOOT BALL DEATH RATE.
Six Fatalities and Numerous Broken
Rones. but Not as MANY as in Base

Many of the Big Five elevens have been
handicapped this fall by injuries to var
s,y men, and especially to captains
Burch and Burr, the Yale and Harvard
leaders. are out of the game in all praba-
bility until these two teams meet. Eddie
Dillon of Princeton and Bill Hollen h
of Pennsylvania have been absent from
the linee-up many times this season.
due TO entertaining and bruised limbs in
the latters case and partly caused by
weak knee in the case of the little Tiger
leader. Many injuries also result when
an undertrained big university team plays
a well conditioned eleven from sinai
college in an early season game.
1t is an interesting fact, however, that
while foot ball is generally regarded with
horror by persons unfamiliar with the
game, by reason of the man. accidents,
base ball the past season claimed seven
teen deaths and go injuries. This proves
the statement that although foot ball is
unuuest:onably the most strenuous sport,
if the players are properly trained acct
dents are less liable to occur than in the
great national game.
