TIGERS IN A HARD
SCRIMMAGE WITH SCRUBS
Yale, Harvard and Penn Putting
Forth Great Efforts to
Master Rules.

PRINCETON, n. j., September o.
Princeton had its first opportunity of
seeing the new foot ball rules tried out
yesterday, when four teams took part in
the first scrimmage Of the year. The
most striking change noticed was the
uselessness of attempting to gain ground
constantly by anything but open plays.
In a few instances Capt. Hart went
through the scrub line for good gains. but
in the big majority Of cases all line plays
were nipped in the bud.
More ground was gained by individual
effort than by team work, and the for
ward pass failed more often than 1t sue
ceeded.
Pendleton., Sparks, Baliou and Hart
played we'll, but even so there were no
steady marches down the field. and only
one touchdown was made during the att
ernoon. Sparks made this I'm the pref
test play Of the practice, receiving the
ball from Bailou on de:ayed PASS.
after the hard work the men have gone
through in developing the forward pass,
their work In this department was a little
disappointing, but considering the Sultry
weather and the fact that this was the
first scrimmage the practice on the whole
was encouraging.
The men showed speed and quickness,
especially In the back field. Both Pendle-
runs, the former sprinting around the
ends twice for over. twenty-five yards
The ends were the weakest spots on the
team, and these conditions promise to
keep the coaches busy for while, at
least.
Few penalties were called and none for
diving tackles. The varsity was penalized
once for pushing the man with the ball
during the line play. The tackling was
good. but especially SO by the varsity
hA al
throughout, their goal never being even
threatened.
After the first and second teams were
through two more elevenS were put
through short scrimmage. There was
considerable fumbling during this prac-
tice, which also was particularly notice
able for the work of individuals rather
than. OF the team. LAIR, at quarterback
