Lafayette Speeds Up
For Lehigh Contest

EASTON. Pa. Nov. 22.-"Quickly,
varsity. quickly" the ever-repeated
words of DR.. Newton reflect the spirit
With which the Lafayette team is
working for the all-important Lehigh
game. Every man on the squad Is
throwing his whole strength in these
last days of preparation. Reports fross
the Bethlehem camp show that they are
working just as hard farther up the
Lehigh river.
Another hard scrimmage was the fea-
ture of the practice on March Field.
The varsity showed Improvement In their
work that was most encouraging. They
succeeded In making two touchdowns
against the strong scrub team. The
first was made by Rawson, and the
varsity showed general superiority in
every way. The practice was strictly
secret, even the upper class men be-
ing denied admittance.

Philbin Gets Chance
At Fullback at Yale

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 22.-Yale
Field was a busy place yesterday with
fourteen coaches putting the players
through the drills instead of one. as
was the case yesterday. There was
only one change in the lineup of the
varsity team, that being at fullback,
Philbin replacing Dunn. Captain Howe
refused to say whether the change was
permanent. but did say the two men
had been contesting for the place all
through the season and that they prob
ably would be alternated. 1t Is the
opinion, however that Philbin will start
the game against Harvard.
Yesterdays practice extended over
two hours and was devoted to signal
practice, running through formations
and catching punts. Howe and Strout
ran the regulars and Howe spent much
time kicking goals from the field. The
fumblng of the men in the Princeton
game seems to be worrying the coaches
more than anything else at present and
everything imaginable was done to give
the backs greater confidence and sure
ness in handling the ball
Captain Howe said last night that
probably today would see the last
scrimmage of the 1911 season. The play
ers will leave here tomorrow afternoon
after practice for Auburndale. where
they will stay until a short time before
the Harvard game on Saturday.

Lehigh Closes Grind
For Lafayette Game

SOUTH BETHLEHEM. Pa. Nov. e.
Lehigh yesterday finished the heavy
part OF the work of the last week of
preparation for the conflict with her
ancient rival, Lafayette, and from now
os light work. but plenty of it, will be
given the men, The fighting spirit of
the men seems to have improved 80
per cent, and this resulted in the
scrubs being scored against three times,
the points.
All the cripples are coming around
finely and altogether prospects are as
Stunning much more rosy aspect than
was apparent a week ago. Eight
coaches were out on the field yesterday,
Wheelock and Blazer taking charge Of
the ends; Costello. the tackles; John

scrubs, and Okeson, the kickers, while
Andy Farabaugh Joined the scrubs and
showed the varsity how to tackle.
The Washington times., 1911-11-22

Farewell appearances on the regular
scholastic grldiron were made
by Central and Eastern at Georgetown
Field yesterday. when the o Streeters
scored three touchdowns and one goal
against the eleven from the Southeast.
Although unable u penetrate CentraTs
territory for a single score, the light
team from Capitol Hill played a game
that was filled from start to finish with
attack and defense that was well con-
centrated and for the most part Sue
cessful.
only in weight did the Central ag-
eregation have the Fasteners at their
mercy. md bad the losers been slightly

McDonough. the Central lightweisht
end, was probably, the star Of yester,
days battle At the Hilltop. ,,'ndasd MAJ
pouEds. ard the way he got in the
game and broke up plays worked havoc
with Eastern. The second touchdown
of the game was the result Of McDon-
ougi1's receiving the ball and piling
right through Eastern's entire line for
the scoreG.
Manning, Eastern's right end, together
with Captain Weaver and Williams,
starred for the southeast team. Man
ming was always there in the melee,
breaking up the attack Of Centrars S
huskies. Williams did excellent defen-
sive work in picking out the man with
the oval and holding him In his tracks.
Best offensive work was probably per-
formed by Captain Hamilton and Van
Dyne. The latter received the ball fire.
ouently, and, carefully picking his way
through Eastern's line, carried 1t for
heavy gains. Hamilton starred In work

Centrars first score came before the

tom SHEVL|N SAYS
F0URD0WNS SHOULD
Be ALLOWED TEAMS
Would Strengthen Offense
and Weaken Defensive
Play.

Somebody asked Tom Shevlin after the
Yale Princeton game II Yale could beat
Harvard. II wanted to lick him." said
Shevlin. How do 1 know who's going
to win? How can anybody tell any
thing about this game they are play
ing now, game built on the theory of
error to scorer"
Shevln, who knows as much football
as anybody and more than most. is
firmly convinced that football as played
now needs rule changing, and he thinks
just two changes are needed. 1t may
be that the changes he advocates will
be presented to the rules committee
when that body convenes in the win
ter, and they may get considerable sup
port, for there Is no little dissatisfac-
ton with the present game, because 1t
doesn't put enough premium on offense.
Mind you, I'm not kicking because
Yale was BEATEN" continued Shevlin.
We've won games from Princeton un-
der the present rules and played bet
ter Harvard team to a standstill, so
we haven't had any the worst of 1t
with the rules. But I'm not strong for
game in which the team on the Of
fense plays the hazardous game, takes
all the risks the only error on which
team can score is one made by the
other side in possession of the balD and
can't get anywhere. I'd like to see
game in which there isn't so much kick
Ing on the second down and In which
the rules don't play your defense for
you as they do now.
Shevlin's suggestions for changes are
these: First, keep the ten yards and
have four downs instead of three; sec
ond, have the four backs on the de-
fense ten yards behind the scrimmage
line when the ball Is put in play.
Those are the only changes needed"
he says. THE present game makes
too big a demand on the quarterback
in offense and doesn't give the other
players enough chance to show what
they can do. Suppose you gain seven
yards on the first try and none on
the second. Then it's up to the quarter
back to find a way to gain on the next
and last try, and about the only way
out of 1t for him is to order a kick.
team really has to make it's dis
tancs in two plays. which are not
| enough.
-Four downs, on the other hand,
would lead to the development of a
constructive offense. Let the rules stay
as they are about not helping the run
other ten players a reasonable number
or opportunities to see what they can
do in choosing and trying plays so as
to give the offense a fair test This
would mean an equitable chance in case
of the first play being made right and
second, a chance which it doesn't have
now, and which would put less re-
| sponsibility on one man, the quarter
| back, and give more opportunities to
the other ten men.
Let them leave the forward pass in
| II they want to. It's no good and won't
| hurt anybody, but keeping the de
fensive backs ten yards back would do
| to your defenSe-open II up-what the
forward pass was intended to do"

Of the game. According to section 6,
paragraph F, of rule 6:

er carrying the ball touches the ground
when the player is in the grasp of an
opponent the ball is down.
I'm the opinion Of those who saw the
play, Howe tackled White by the leg
and downed him a yard and a half
from the Yale goal. Then White slid
through the mud over the Yale goal
line.
Paragraph d of the same rule says
Whenever he Is so held that his for
ward progress has been stopped the ball
Is down. Whites forward progress was
not stopped. so that should settle the
legitimacy of the tally.
''1f that Is not sufficient, another sec

The referee shall blow his whistle
or declare the ball dead when any
