day. 1t prevents him from playing
football and makes him dizzy. He Is
expected to fully recover from it before
this week is over, but will be in little
practise before the Yale-Harvard and
Yale-Princeton games. George Foster
Sanford assumed charge of the Yale
squad yesterday. He had all the men
down at one end of the field and gave
them a heart-to-heart talk, which last
ed about an hour. He demonstrated
difficult line plays and then the scrubs
were sent against the third team, which
was reinforced by Sanford, Buck Nor
ris and Arthur Brides. The scrubs
naturally were held for downs, but
they were allowed the ball all the time.
Determined to build up the team
where 1t mas been proven to be weak,
the University of Pennsylvania foot
ball coaches put their men through a
practise yesterday afternoon that left
the players totally exhausted and in
several cases limping painfully. Jour-
Diet, who, with a brace on his knee,
was running about as clipper as ever,
received another bump on his injured
member. Young was carried from the
field, but it was found that a strained
ankle was the extent of his trouble,
while Captain Mercer had his right hip
badly bruised in blocking for Marshall.
who was running back the ball. Fisher
also was limping and Nolan received
another jar to his bum knee.
The field was sticky and heavy and
Mike Murphy advised the coaches sew
eral times to stop the practise, saying:
'fYou can't win games with dead men,"
but the men were responding so gamely
to the exhortations of the coaches that
Andy Smith kept them at it till Young's
injury showed that it was time to stop.
Injuries are far more apt to occur on
a wet field than on a dry one, where
the men are able to handle themselves
properly. .
For two weeks Harvard's line has
been preparing for the game against
Princeton, but yesterday afternoon lost
sight of the Tigers and began working
out a defense against the open football
that Brown will bring to the stadium
Saturday, which worked out for a SO
victory against Penn last week.
Although the Crimson regulars did
not do much work in the miners
match, there was no scrimmage yes

but most of the time in the closed ses-
sion was spent in dummy practise
against the scrub team, which had
been given part of the Brown offense.
Browns football has been followed
closely by the Harvard coaching staff
and the game is being taken more Sc
riously than ever before. 1t is realized

team has played four games, it has

an attack worth mentioning.
o
Two new likely candidates fon the
Cornell football line reported to the
coaches yesterday. They are Greenlng,
a 1%75-pound wrestler, and Homis.
Homis has already had some experience
in tackling, and the coaches gave him
a lot of attention. Robinson, another
new man, also made a good impress
sion. Watson, one Of the best sub ends,
reported for the first time in ten days.
He had been out with a bruised leg.
Captain Munk is doing nicely and is
very anxious to get into the game with
Pittsburg on Saturday. The practise
yesterday consisted of a long drill in
tackling and running with the ball,
lodging and covering punts.

BEAT Pennsylvania" is the battle cry
of the Michigan football player. Coach
Yost and his Wolverines are keeping
close tabs on the Quaker eb~"en. Last
year Michigan held Pen:;. ania to
a 90 score, and this We tiey hope
to do even better.
"Hurry-Up'' Yost is teaching his men
all kinds of tricks in order that the
Red and Blue may be conquered when
they battle on Michigan's gridiron on
November IS. Yost is not belittling
the Syracuse and Cornell struggles,
however. but Of the three intersec-
tional contests the westerners would
much rather defeat the Quakers than
either Of he other two.
