NO SCR|MMAGE FOR
PRINCETON TIGERS.
BYCOACH'S ORDERS
Fear of Team Becoming
Stale Reduces Work to
Signal Drills.

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov S-The
Tiger eleven returned from Atlantic
City yesterday morning In time to be
put through a long three-hour practice
on Osborne Field in the afternoon.
Fearing that With too much scrimmaRe
their men might 80 stale before the
contest with Yale. the coaches devoted
their attention to the development of
new formations and to signal drills
leaving out all scrimmage work.
Three complete backfie!ds were on
the field running through signals, the
first being composed of Pendleton, De-
Witt, Vaughn. and Chrystie; the sec
ond, of Baker, Sawyer. Andrews, and
Penfeld. while the third, the regular
scrub backfield, was made up OF Har-
low. Hendrickson. Shenk. and Emmons.
All Of the regular varsity men were in
the lineup with the exception of Tom
Wilson, who is still feeling the effects
of the Harvard game, but he Is not
seriously hurt, and will no doubt be in
the contest with Dartmouth on Satur-
day.
Il n. Pfeiffer, '09 halfback on the
1908 eleven, and last fall a member of
Hamilton Fishers Harvard Law School,
team, was on the field drilling the men
In some new formations. Considerable
attention was devoted to the forward
success. and unless great Improvement
Is shown the Tigers will have to resort
to old-style football against Dart
mouth and Yale.

Virginia Denies 1t
Has Given Up Hope

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Nov. s.
The student body In general and IN
fact everyone interested in the well
fare Of the university athletics are con-
siderably wrought up over the contents
OF an unfounded report that was circu-
lated in this section Of the country,
" hich seemed to intimate in rathor
strong terms that Virginia had given
up hope of winning the annual contest
with Georgetown.
Indignation which was evident when
the report first reached here finally
took tho form of ridicule and at the
first university hour of the session held
in Cabell Hall yesterday morning.
Coach Yancey and several representa-
tives Of the team took occasion to in
directly comment on the report Yancsy
lidiculed In particular a statement TO
the effect that Virginia adnerents had
absolutely refused to consider odds Of
five to one on the outcome Of the
game.
