PRINCETON, n. j., October ,27.-After
Mondays rest, the Princeton varsity
eleven, with the exception of Hart and
Dawson, was again sent out on the field
to scrimmage for an hour. Their OPP
ponentS during the first half hour were
the freshmen, and the latter, under the
leadership of its fast quarterback, Pendle-
ton, held the varsity to one touchdown,
made by Cunningham. A number of ends
were again tried out, and of these Balm
played the most consistent game. This
is the latter's firstsseason on the gridiron,
and it is thought by the coaches that with
more experience he will fill the position.
The freshmen played a fast, clever game,
and gained much ground on fake kicks
and quarterback runs by PendletOn. The
latter scored on the varsity for field
goal from placement, and two more points
were added to the freshman score by a
blocked kick, which rolled across the
varsitys goal line. Garrett again played

Halfback Steve Philbin yesterday proved
that Yale's eleven this fall has two
wonderful back field stars. 1t was Phil
bins day as headlner, and two of his
runs were for more than seventy yards
Coy twice shot through tackle, sweeping
the offense off its feet for gains of thirty
yards. In one attack he toppled over
Taylor. substitute halfback, who was
dazed by the blow but recovered in five
minutes.
Coy lifted another graceful field goal
from the scrubs 1J-yard line after the
university had been held for downs only
ten yards from the second teams goal.
Philbin. Coy and DAILY. the regular
back field trio. were in the Scrimmaging
only five minutes each. Ford Johnson was
overjoyed at being renstateG as varsity
quarterback. His work has improved con-
stantly, and Howe was sent back to ale
scrubs. The pair are evenly matched. The
giant rush-line retained the makeup or

Taft that he will be unable to attend the
Yale-Harvard or the Yale-Irinceton
