game. This array of backs Is eminent
~ satisfactory to the coaches, ana
practically the only raw edge left Is
the ends, But this problem will solve
itself in the next week or two, because
a great deal of the really available
light material has been overlooked in
an early season attempt to bring out
heavy men to cope with the heavy
end mel on the Yale team. The Prince
ton ends will be chosen from the
n.en mentioned above who are quick
IN getting down the field under a punt
and sure on tackles. The problem is
worrying the coaches very little at
this stage of the development of the
team.
Enthusiasm over the team is growing
among the undergraduates here, and
every move of the team Is being
watched with interest. About 800 OF
them serenaded Captain Siegling in
his room after a meeting for the re-
hearsal of football songs and a pee
rade" about the campus.
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 21.-A blocked

they improved both. They had not
scored more than once on the regulars
since the season opened till YESTERDAY.
When they scored before they beat the
first eleven in the afternoons play.
They were not SO fortunate yesterday,
for the scoring machine of the regu-
lars was running on the high gear all
the afternoon with full power, and it
sent four scores across the line before
practise closed, making 1t four to twp
~touchdowns for the first team for the
afternoon play.
Two playing periods were ordered,
the first of twenty-five, the next oil
fifteen minutes. 1t was the longest
scrimmage of the year, and was, in
spots, the loosest. Captain Coy seemed
to have played himself out in his bril-
liant performance of Tuesday. Springer
Brooks, of the second team. was his
nightmare. Coy faltered in handling a
punt which he received from the sec
ond team, and Brooks snatched the ball
away from him. Brooks leaped seventy
yards for the touchdown, which was
the first run up by either eleven dur
ing the afternoon. Another seventy.
yard run by Brooks made the second
touchdown possible. He dashed through
the line upon Coy and blocked a punt
which Coy got off rather late, Brooks
grabbed up the ball and raced down the
field, chased by fleet Howe, the varsity
quarterback. Howe overhauled the
man at the ten-yard line and threw
him. The scrubs, however, had an eff
feetiye forward pass in reserve. Mer-
nit dipped one ahead to Buck Free
man, who took the ball over the line.
The old-fashioned 1ine-bucking game
was ordered from the centre of the
field for the next touchdown.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.-Realizine
that Pennsylvania's chances of vic
tory over State College are seriously
menaced by the loss of two star men
through injuries, the coaches are de-
voting their attention particularly to
filing the gaps and getting the team
in shape for Saturdays contest. With
Young and Hutchinson out of the
game, both of them backfield men.

be.
Yesterday afternoon the coaches con-

the way they will line up against State.
