PRINCETON. Sept 2S.S-The sultry
weather continued yesterday afternoon,
but despite this the Princeton varsity
football squad showed considerable i'm
provement Three short periods were
played between the varsity and second
teams, and during that time the first
eleven scored three touchdowns.
The first period was slow and unsatis-
factory, but in the next two periods the
varsity showed possibilities of consid-
erable strength in the open style of
play. Practically all the ground was
again gained by open plays. but the
runner was furnished better jnterfer-
ence than yesterday and there was
more team work. The forward pass
also worked better.
Captain Hart played his usual strong
defensive game, but failed to pick his
holes we'll in line plunging, except in
one instance, when he plunged twenty
yards. The thermometer registered al
most 80 degrees in the sun during the
practise
Pendleton and Sparks did most of the
ends or dashed outside tackle for gains
of from ten to twenty yards at a clip.
Ballou made pretty catch of one of
Pendleton's forward passes during the
last period and succeeded In dodging
across the goal line before he could be
downed. The other two touchdowns
came as a result of Harris twenty-yard
gain through the line and thirty-yard
run by Pendleton on a fake kick.
Although there have been only two
days of scrimmage the hospital list is
beginning to swell and that, too, despite
the new rules Monroe, a promising
candidate for quarterback, is in the
infirmary with a wrenched leg; Speers,
an inexperienced but determined and
heady player, who gave great promise
of making one of the varsity tackles, is
also laid up with a badly wrenched
knee. Among the others who are suf-
fering from slight sprans are Bard and
Chrystie.
Forty-eight candidates for the fresh
man football team reported in the after
noon to l.. Cunningham, 1910, who win
coach the Tiger Cubs this fall Moth
ing but elementary work was given the
men, but the prospects looked good for
the making of another championship
freshman eleven for Princeton this year.
Waller, brother of p. E. Waller 1910,
who is now one of the varsity coaches,
reported for the freshman team and is
said to be star,
NEW HAVEN, Sept. 2S.-Reed Kill
patrick, who for two years has been
Yale's star end but who nevertheless
has unfortunately always been injured
Just before the g. mpionship season,
arrived in New H. en yesterday after
noon a few hours after the ar val
of the rest of the Yale squad. That
he will be the regular Yale left end
there is no doubt but as the result
of previous experience, it is doubtful
if he will play at all until the import
ant games. The Yale coaches fully re-
alze his Importance, and as a result
are taking no chances with him. Kill
patrick can take the forward pass, and
besides this there are few backs who
can get around his end. SO, at present,
it looks as If there would be a rather
slow season for Fitzpatrick. with plenty
of opportunity to star in the cham
pionship games.
The varsity lineup tried out yester-
day, which is that which will probably
go in against Wesleyan today, was
Bemeisler, left end Francis left tackle;
Romeyn, left guard Morris, centre;
Loree, right guard; Francis, right
tackle; Brooks. right end; Corey, quar-
terback; Phlbin left halfback Daily,
right halfback Field. fullback.
The shift of Philbin to halfback was
unexpected, though he played this po
sition when he was captain of the
freshmen team. Loree is the heaviest
member of the squad and two years
ago played centre on the freshmen
team. Pop" Corey will play quarter
back because of the injury to Howe,
who in the early practise of this year
showed his ability to become varsity
material and perhaps All-American.
Walter Camp jr.. was put back to
fullback on the third team yesterday,
creating something of a surprise al
though he has not been doing so well
lately as he did earlier in the season
Carol Cooney and John Hall were the
graduate coaches beside the staff
EASTON, Pa, Sept 2S.-Despite the
fact that heavy rain was falling,
making the field mass of mud, Coach
Folwell put the Lafayette squad
through one of the hardest days work
of the present season. The rain did
not stop the men from practising their
signals, and the new plays that Fol-
we'll will use for the first time in next
Saturdays game with Ursinus. Scrim-
mage practise constituted most of the
afternoons work. two of the strongest
teams on the squad were picked our
and sent against each other. For As
minutes the teams slipped and splashed
around in the mud without either side
scoring. The work was of great value,
however in getting the men used to
s wet weather conditions. The news that
Swank last years varsity end. will
be on the field today was heralded
abroad today His acquisition to the
team will mean great deal as he is
