Princeton. ~ j.. oct. 12-The scare
which the Princeton football team received
from Lehigh yesterday had the effect Of
causing Roper 70 issue a hurry call for
more coaches, and the squad was driven
through "A hard afternoons work to-day.
While the Princeton eleven was held i'm
check more by the rain yesterday than by
the Lehlgh team, yet the game served to
bring out In a moro glaring fashion the
weaknesses Of the Tigers. Trouble was
bound to come as soon as the Tigers met Q
team with anything like a strong line,
when backs could not get away and dodge
quickly, as was the case yesterday.
Every score made by Princeton this sea-
son has been the result Of some brilliant
run on the part Of one inuiTdual back but
it was impossible for a man that leaned
10 one side when he turned sharp corners
Yesterday to do a thing. and for this reason
Pendleton and Sawyer were useless.
such a back field as the Tigers must de-
pend on this year TO win their games re-
quircs first Of all a line which is strong
enough TO give the backs a chance TO get
started. and to-days practice only went
10 show once more that this requisite is
still lacking at Princeton. 4 hard scrim-
mage was held, during which the varsity
was on the offence most OF the time. for II
is in this department more than the de-
fence that weakness Of the line is felt.
During the scrImmage the varsity backs
scored three touchdowns, one on forward
pass to Dunlap, and two others through
the individual playing Of the backs who
were once more able TO keep their footing
on the gridiron.
The coaches who responded 20 the hurry
call for help were Beef Wheeler, %, an
old end: Alec Alonatt, q; "Bin" Lee SO;
Sidney Rheiustein. %. and Phil King '92
Another change was made in the line
when G. Baker replaced Mclean at tackle,
but his playing at this position was not
very impressive Brown played a good
game at guard. and this ms 10 be more
his natural position than either tackle or
end. Winants played IN Wilson's place,
and the latter had a rest Mccormick was
kept on the scrub team during the practice.
and it looks as though he would have to
show great improvement before he can re-
gain his old position from Brown, who
filed it so well to-day
The lineup follows: Left end Dunlap;
loft tackle. Mclean C.. Baker,; left guard.
Winants; centre, Bluetheuthal; right guard.
Brown: right tackle. Phillips; right end,
wight; quarterback Pcndleton GarD; left
fulback, Dewitt Baker; right haltback
Sawyer Hammond; fullback, Teudeld

was splendid afternoon for football, the
,rlv varsity men on Soldiers Field to-day
were a few of the backs who puntod and
worked at handling kicks under Ham Cor
bett the backdcld coach Tho other rcgu-
lars and substitutes had the holiday TO
themselves.
The two days hard work has served 20
give the coaches a better line ON the ma
tcrial that Is being moulded TO IN the va
cant places ia the rush line, and as the
csuIt of IL the team is likely 10 be picked
within two weeks ana then brought down
through the important games as a unit.
At the same time the competition for all
three places ON the left wing continues to
be- keen. and not before Harvard meets
Brown can these places be settled.
Rogers has shown the most Improvement
among the tackles, but Leslie Is playing
better at guard every day, and Keays, a
much heavier aSd rangier fellow. Is far
from being sure of the place opposite Cap
tain Fisher OF the new end rushers Dana
continues TO improve, and this coupled with
the fact that Potter is kicking so well.
leaves FELTON, likely 20 be beaten for end.

around play improves.
