PRINCETON, Oct. 1.-The Tigers
We're put through a forty minute scrim-
mage yesterday IL preparation for the
game with Stevens Institute tomor-
row. The work was very cratic. The
scrubs have been strengthened. and it
was nip and tuck most of the time.
Waller kicked off to the scrubs. and
the regulars got the ball on a tumble,
but had to hand it over to the second
string on downs. The scrubs then tore
into the varsity and rushed them to
centre field. The first string then woke
up, and after getting the ball. tore
down the field for a touchdown. The
varsity kicked off again, and got the
ball on downs and showed it over for
the final score of the day. At this
point Reed n Noodle gave place to
Smith and Sparks. and Dawson was
taken out and Christie put in at quar-
terback. McCrohan was again at left
ackle OH the scrub, where he held his
own faultlessly.
Hart was on the field, but the
coaches did not use him in scrimmage.
McCrohan will probably be used one
half against Stevens, and several men
are likely to be tried out in each posi-
ton. The fight for the different posi-
tions run high. The coaches have not
given out the lineup for Saturday.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. Head
Coach Howard Jones, of the Yale foot
ball eleven yesterday ordered the first
shakeup of the season. Haines was
switched from end to the back field,
where his punting can be utilized. This
change is probably permanent. Haines
replaced Field. whose line forcing in
the Wesleyan game was inefectuaL
Fitzpatrick went back upon the first
eleven at left end, Captain Logan be-
ing transferred from left to right.
Hobbs had his ankle turned, and
Parker, freshman tackle last year, re-
placed him. ,.5
Word from Syracuse states that the
team left home last night for Satur-
days game, and will be here in time to
practise today. Yale expects a tough
struggle to win.
Goebel, the veteran, guard. put in an
appearance in time for the afternoon
practise.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 1. - The
Harvard varsity, none the worse for
Wednesdays game, were driven
through a hard scrimmage yesterday
afternoon, o'Flaherty running them for
fifteen minutes and Gallatti for another
fifteen. The forward pass figured in
the afternoons practise, being used
considerably by o'Flaherty. 1t was the
substantial gains of rockingham and
Morrison, new men this season in the
backfield, that enabled the varsity to
score. The varsity line continues TO
show up well and, is the most reliable
part of the eleven. Leslie, P. d. Smith
and Corbett, the veteran backheld,
have been a disappointment SO far this
season.
ITHACA! N. ", Oct. 1.-The Cornell
varsity INDUCED in a hard scrimmage
against the scrubs yesterday afternoon
in the presence OF President Jacob
Gould Schurman and Professor l.. NJ.
Dennis, of the football rules committees.
There was no scoring. the bah being
returned to centre whenever striking
point was reached. Captain ,Tydeman
made several brilliant runs. and
Delano. for the scrubs, drew the atten-
ton of the coaches by his brilliant
plunges. 1t is thought that he is the
solution for filling the place of Full
back Pope. who Is out with injuries.
The lack Of a good punter, however.
will be greatly felt. The varsity lined
up with Macarthur and Hurlburt,
ends; Harrington and Donan, tackles;
Bell and O'Connors. guards; Seagraves,
centre: Wood, quarterback; HOFFMAN
and Tydempn. ~halfhacks. and Gass.
fullback.
