PRINCETON. Oct. 20.
HE varsity football squad was

So oDhpoi "bC
III run through a light signal prac-
tise today. that being The
only lnal preparation for the game
with the Navy at Annapolis tomorrow.
The squad will leave here shortly after
6 o'clock for Baltimore, where they
win spend the night at a hotel. The
players will proceed to Annapolis to-
morrow morning, arriving there at IL
o'clock. The 'middies' have extend
ed to oil Princeton men, and their
guests, an invitation to take lunch at
the officers mess before the game.
The team is in fine fettle for the
contest. Not one of the varsity men
is on the sick list, and there is no
doubt hat the team will be seen at its
best in this contest. The work of the
week at daily practise On University
Field has been better than that of any
previous week this season, and the
Tigers have high hopes of a decisive
victory over the middies, who have
been weakening during the last week
or so.
This weeks work points to one or
two changes in the Tigers lineup,
which, while they are not certain, are
highly probable, Garrett, a new man,
who has been doing star work on
the scrub team, may be In the back
field for the Navy game, and Dawson
will probably be shifted from the back
field to quarterback. That is his old
position, and he played at il yester-
day In the practise scrimmage. 1t is
not likely hat Bergin, the regular
varsity quarterback, is being displaced
but 1t is probably the intention of the
coaches to have a good man for sub
stitute at quarterback. Hart, Read
and Garrett will make up the backfield
trio.
Practise yesterday, like the one pre-
it, WAS highly encouraging. The
new position of the backs, farther
the line than formerly, seemed
to give them a great advantage AMI
to strengthen their play materially. The
men held together better, got a good
and hit the line with greater
force than they have at any previous
of the teams development.
One of the most encouraging fea-
of the work was the play of the
end men. Frantz surprised the stands
some brilliant work. He Is a
man hat has played on the scrub for
or three years, and he may de-
velop into something good before the
close of the season. The line played
football on the defensive, time and
again holding the strong scrub backs
FOR downs. Three times the coaches
gave the scrubs the ball on the var
slty ten-yard line. out the second team
failed to make the goal line.
The varsity backs pounded through
the scrubs line for four touchdowns.
The redoubtable Hart carried the pig
over twice, Gill once and Gar
rett once. Garrett made his score by
snatching the ball on a tumble and
running off down the field for about
100 yards for a touchdown. If the
backfeld plays as well against the
Navy as it did against the scrubs there
will be little to worry about. And the
Tigers are not going to have to put
forth every effort either. In this set Of
men alone, for Noodle, Cunningham
Sparks compose another trio of
ba cks that is nearly as formidable as
the first string.
The coaches have worked a great
change in the Tiger team since the
Lafayette game, and it will be a more
powerful team in every way that will
lineup against the Navy tomorrow.
