Stevenson Helps Pennsy.
PHILADELPHIA. October 19.-In spite
of the hard game against Brown Satur-
day. the University of Pennsylvania foot
ball players had one of the hardest scrim-
ses of the season yesterday afternoon.
Realizing the need of more coaching for
the quarterbacks Vincent Stevenson. the
sensational quarterback of the 1904 and
1903 teams, came to the rescue and de-
voted most of his time to Alec Thayer.
Capt Miller was used at quarter on the
varsity. however. and played a star game.
The coaches were not impressed with his
work at halfback Saturday, and 1t now
looks as though they intended to play
him at quarter and hold Thayer as a
substitute
in defensive work he was placed at full
back on the scrub team. Irwin taking his
place at half6ack on the varsity. Neither
CoZens nor Marks got into the scrim-
mage. both men resting on account of
slight injuries. The lineup was: Left
end. Braddock: left tackle. Ferrier: left
guard. Dietrich: center. Philler; right
guard. Lamberton: right tackle Burns:
right end. Cornwall; quarterback. Miller;
left halfback. Scott; right halfback. Ir-
win: fullback, Hutchinson.
Light Work for Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 19-The
afternoon work yesterday for the liar
ward foot ball team was light, and
there was no scrimmage. A short drill
in the rudinlents of the game was fol-
lowed with a lineup against the scrubs
to try out some new formations. but
there was no tackling
Minot. Corbett and P. d. Smith We're
in the back field on the varsity. and
Capt. Fish returned to his place at
right tackle. l.. Wilmington was at
left guard in place of West who was
injured Saturday. The feature of the
practice was the kicking of Sprague,
the substitute varsity back of last year.
His punts averaged over so yards,
and were the twisting kind that are so
difficult to handle.
l.. Wilmington looks like a fixture ct
left guard. He is a little lighter than
the regulation guard but has the power
and fight necessary for the place.
Wigglesworth. the promising quarter
back. who has been laid up with d
light fever. was out in canvas and
ran through signals with the substi-
tutcs. The little quarterback has lost
valuable time by his illness. and will
have hard work to displace O'Flaherty,
the regular man.
