Coach Roper Makes Sweeping
Changes in Princeton
Varsity Line.

Cornell and Harvard are through with
| mfdweek contests, and there Will be no
| more for the others after today. Harvard
/ is now directing her immediate energies
to getting ready for Williams next Satur-
! day. Williams being held in great respect
| at Cambridge.
! The most interesting game booked for
| today is the one at Princeton, where Viii
lanova will try to take a fall out of the
! Tigers. Villanova hasn't succeeded in TAX
| ing any falls out of the carnivorous crowd
but she has made said crowd scratch
! gravel to win more than once. Villanova
was beaten only to 0 by the Indians
and therefore expects to make Nassau
| step lively this afternoon. The schedule
! follows:
Yale vs. Tufts at New Haven.
Princeton VS.. Villanova at Princeton.
Pennsylvania VS.. Franklin and Marshall
at Philadelphia.
Brown VS.. Rhode Island State at Provi-
dence.
Colgate vs.. Alfred at Hamilton
AS regularly as the foot ball seasons roll
around the Carlisle Indians start in to roll
up the biggest collection of points. which
lead they maintain for the greater part of
the season at least. It's the same story
this season. The redmen have played three
games and already are within two points
of hundred. Among the colleges Cornell
has the biggest total, with "a, and a big
ger average OF points game than the
Indians even. Harvard comes next to
Cornell.
! Yale and Pennsylvania already have
1aiien into the scored on division, though
Yale unlike Pennsylvania. has not had
her goal line crossed. At this early
stage there are vastly more of the stronger
teams that haven't been scored on than
have.
The scoring under the new rules has
been conspicuously heavy in the early
games. Take the total points made by
Harvard. Yale, Minnesota, Exeter And

more. Vanderbilt. Pittsburg, Trinity, the
Yale freshmen and Virginia, and they
reach the big sum of 946. The computa-
ton is not confined to teams that have
made big scores with view to swelling
the total. Dartmouth, with only six
points. is in the list. Dartmouth, Incl
dentally. is the only eleven among the
ones enumerated that hasn't made at
least two touchdowns in some one game.
Total scores of teams that have played
two or more games are as follows
Harvard. 90 1.-TWO games; Yale 54-6

Tigers Change Front.
PRINCETON, n. j.. October 5-No
scrimmage was held yesterday. but there
were several surprising changes in the
makeup of the Princeton varsity foot
ball team. Bissell, who has always play
ed either tackle or guard to date, was
moved to end. and Duff took his place at
tackle. Mccormick was moved to guard
and MacGregor played the other tackle.
These changes caused a big shift in the
! makeup of the line, and it is believed
that they were made by Roper as a re-
suit OF the poor showing of the team in
the sccrimmage Monday
The greatest surprise Is the shifting Of
Bissell to end. as he has had little expert
ence in playing this position. Roper is
and as Bissell is big and fast he may be
developed into an excellent man for the
position. Weak ends were one Of Prince
tons troubles last year. and the coaches
do not want the same handicap this sea-
son. Roper has always been able to de-
velop good ends in previous years even
with seemingly poor material. and he will
undoubtedly not fail in his purpose this
year.
MacGregor, one of the few veterans left
on the squad this year. is just recovering
from typhoid fever. which he had during
the summer. 1t was good to see him in
the lineup again, and while he won't
play today the fact that he was able
to get in the signal practice was encourag-
ing. Sam White, third baseman on the
base ball team last year and captain-elect
OF the 1911 nine. came out for the team
and 1t is believed that Roper may use him
at end. In his freshman year White was
one of the mainstays of the Tiger cub
eleven, but he was unable to go out last
year on account of his health. He is big
j and fast. and his presence in the squad
will be great asset. Gresham Poe one
of the famous Poe brothers. helped in the
coaching and spent considerable time in
drilling the quarterbacks in their various
duties.
There was no hard work during the
afternoon practice, the coaches going easy
| on the players. as hard game is expect
ed with Fillanova today. Last year the
Pennsylvania eleven held the Tigers to a
to score, and no easy game is expected
this season.
The team will probably line up as fol-
lows:
: Bredemus. left end; Norman. left tackle:
Wilson. left guard; Blumenthal. center;
Mccormick right guard; Duff, right tackle
Bissell, right end; Ballou. quarterback;
Pendleton. left halfback: Sparks, right
| halfback, and HART fullback.
| . Yale in Secret Work.
| NEW HAVEN. October 5-The Yale
foot ball coaches broke record yester-
day by ordering secret practice earlier
than ever before. No notice was given
that the gates would be closed and a large
crowd gathered outside. being forced to
wait half an hour before the secret work
J was finished. Ten minutes sharp scrim-
| maging. the first since the Syracuse game
| took place. No details were announced
| but IL was said that few of the regulars
were in the lineup. Yale will present
practically substitute eleven TODAY
