PRINCETON.

IBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.
Princeton, y. J., Nov. /. - Despite the
hard game on Saturday with the Navy
most OF the Princeton regulars took part IN
the scrimmage this afternoon at Least Tor
part of the time. The work was slow ana
uninteresting and the varsity played q
slow and listless game, allowing the scrub
to score two touchdowns. This showing Is
disappointing. especially at this time Of the
year. as less than two weeks remain before
the Yale game and less than one week be
fore the meeting with Dartmouth, which
will be another test that should require the
best that the Tigers have TO win.
The line was especially poor to-day, fail
ing to charge and playing a miserable de-
fensiyc game The second team scored on
straight line plays and an occasional for
ward pass.
For the varsity Sparks and Cunningham
were the only men who could advance the
ball and they could not gain consistently.
r. r. Sheffield played in the backfied for
the scrub during part OF the scrimmage and
gave d splendid exhibition Of good interfer-
ence.
Bar was tried at quarterback this after
noon. where he played creditably, although
he had little to do
The varsity lined UP as follows: i<eft enc
Gil: left tackle Siegling; left guard,
Woahr: centre, Clarke Darling: right
guard. Waller: right tackle. Norman; right
end. Van Dyke; quarterback. Chrystie
(Bald. Bergin): left halfback. Sparks

TIEU'S ON FOOTB4LL
DR.. MacCrachseR 4gainst 4bo-
Iifion of the Sport.

Chancellor MacCracken Of New York
University. who led the crusade for re-
form OF the football rules four years ago,
said yesterday that. in his judgment. abeli-
ton of the game was not called for by the
death of Byrne, the West Point player
from injuries received in the game with
Harvard on Saturday. DR. NacCraciten said
that further modification of the rules, in an
effort TO make the game less dangerous
might be necessary, and suggested some
action this winter.
II am shocked and srieved to hear OF
Ryrno's DEATH" said the chancellor. but l
see no reason to abolish so good game
as football a further revision of the
rules, making the game more open, be
Iieve 10 be necessary, and that the Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association will take
some such action I deem certain, in view
of the telegram from Captain Pierce that
appeared in to-day's Tribune. I stand by
President Pierce absolutely, and feel sure
that the game will be made more open"
A good many old football players seemed
to think yesterday that the game would
bly, have TO be changed again 70 meet
n storm of criticism, and many thought
that a fresh move to- open UP the play
would follow. Deputy Commissioner Hogan
of the Street Cleaning Department. how
ever. who was captain of the Yale eleven
in 190s, dissented strongly from this view.
Opening up the game isn't going to de-
crease fataHties.'' he said. 1T has oper-
ated since 1896 to increase accidents, and it
will keep on doing so. You cannot legislate
against such an accident as the one IN
which Byrne was hurt. Any sport is likely
TO afford such instances, but the notoriety
that accompanies football injury is lack
ing.
Abolish the forward pass. That Is the
way to eliminate a good deal of the danger
OF the game. Byrne was a tackle, and j
venture to say that most of the men VINO
are hurt are ends and tackles on the team
that has not got the ball. The reason Is
plain, so far as the forward pass is con-
cerued \ tackle goes into the play if II
is coming toward his end, but now he IS
uncertain whether d run or a forward pass
IS 10 be attempted. Instead Of boring right
in the tackle has to look for the ball TO
continue his attempt to diagnose the play
after it has started, with the danger of he
ing left out altogether if his Judgment is
wrong. He goes in head UP. and that IS
the trouble a good deal of the time
Mr. Hogan was an All American tackle
at Yale, and is generally regarded as the
peer of any man who ever played the posi-
ton. He IS thoroughly versed in the new
game. having done a good deal of coaching
at New Haven since the changes in the
rules We're adopted
Morris Ely. an old Yale quarterback who
saw the game on Saturday and the play in
which Byrne was hurt, differed from Mr.
Hogan as 10 the effects of the forward pass
He said that he hardly thought the play of
the tackles should be affected much as
was suggested by Mr.. Hogan. but did think
that the man catching pass was likely 70
be hurt when tackled, owing TO the position
the play forced him to assume.
