tise for the rest of the week COM

noon, and the players n coaches
were in seclusion for an hour and a
half before the spectators were adj
to see the latter part of the

The feature of the practise, accord
ing to the coaches, was a drop-kick
from the 35-yard line by Captain
Arthur Howe, for the varsity team.
The kick was made from a difficult
angle. and the ball went half way be-
tween the posts. The varsity was
made up in many places of subs, but
managed to make three t~ouchdowns
against the scrub cam. The coaches
would not say in what manner the
t~ouchdowns were made, but it is under

P~RINCETON'S WORK
MORE ENCOURAGING
Many of the Weaknesses Eradicated Now;
Those of More Importance Remedied.
Christie's Play Improving.

PRINCETON, Nov. The football
practise on Osborne Field yesterday
afternoon was a little more
ing h the work of the day before, as
some of the weaknesses that were so
prominent in the Holy Cross game n
In previous practises were eradicated
in part. There was still a lack of or
ganized teamwork in evidence, how
ever, and many of the varsity's gains
were made by individual playing.
About forty-five minutes of hard
scrimmaging was held, during which
the varsity scored two t~ouchdowns.
The scrubs, with E. c. Waller. captain
of last years freshman eleven, who is
ineligible to play this season, made
good gains through the varsity line,
but was unable to score a touchdown.
Although he has played little football
this season, Waller was the most
prominent man in the practise. He tore
his way through the varsity line in
sensational fashion, but the regulars
always held when the play vas forced
very far into their own territory.
Baker was back again at his old place
at haTfback, while Christie alternated
with Pendleton at quarter. When not

decided what the makeup of the back
field will be for the Harvard game.
Christie played with lots of snap and
enthusiasm, and drove the team in
good shape. 1t begins to look as though
he might be the choice of the coaches
to start the game Saturday, in which
case Pendleton will play h%alfbacls,
with Baker and Dewitt as the other
backs. Long and wide end runs, as
usual, proved the varsity's best means
of ground-gaining, although DeWitts
%plunging showed Improvement over
Saturdays work. Pendleton got away
for one or two dashes. as did Baker,
who scored one of the ~touchdowns. In
an end run of ten yards Dewitt scored
the other touchdown for the varsity on
a plunge through centre from the four
ward run.

through a stiff scrimmage with the
scrub NTH darkness called a halt to
the work. The men showed a marked
improvement in the teamwork and had
no trouble in registering two ouch
downs. Although the scrubs managed
to cross the goal line it was only after
the coaches had sent in many of the
substitutes to take the place of the
tired varsity men.
In every department of the game the
team displayed championship form and
completely demoralized the scrubs IN

men put them in practise proved a
source of great satisfaction to the

and this in spite of the fact hat But
Ter was on the field and had piloted
the scrubs through a signal drill. This
startling change caused considerable
comment, but the coaches gave no sign
that the arrangement was permanent.
O'Connor's fast work in running back
punts, his clean handling of the ball,
and the good judgment he exhibited
in selecting plays prove that he is an
ideal candidate. but 1t is not believed
that the coaches would take him from
halfback. If the shift should be made,
however, Butler Will go to half and
