More Changes Made
On Princeton Eleven

PRINCETON, N. J.. Oct. 19.-Despite
a drizzling rain and a muddy field the
Princeton eleven was put through a
hard twenty minute scrimmage here
yesterday afternoon. The slippery con-
dition Of the gridiron made speedy work
by the backs and clean handling Of the
ball impossible, with the result that the
varsity was unable to push the ball over
the scrubs goal line during the twenty
minute period. This was due primarily
to the inability of the varsity backs to
use their speed to advantage and to the
weakness of the line in opening up
holes
Another important shift was made in
the lineup. Hobey Baker was shifted
to right end, while Vaughn took the
formers position at left half. Vaughn
is heavy and a hard rusher, but Is a
trfe slow for Pendleton, Sawyer, and
De Witt, the other members of the back
field. Baker, on the other hand, is en-
| tirely too light for an end. The coaches
| tion and before the practice was con-
cluded, Baker and Vaughn had returned
| to their old positions.
After the varsity had concluded it's
work, the scrubs were lined up against
| Eddie Harlan's freshman eleven and by
dint of excellent individual work by
Farr. at quarterback, managed to score
| twice on the cubs. Farr scored the first
touchdown, by running the length of
| the field after receiving the freshmen S

ITHACA, N. Y. Oct. 1.-Two teams
lined up for scrimmage yesterday, and
no attempt was made to dignity either
string with the title varsity. The teams
were generated by Butler and O'Connor,
the latter man for the first time acting
as a quarterback. The shift is not to
be considered as permanent, for O'Con-
nor is too valuable a halfback to make
a substitute. but can be accounted for
by Dixie Smiths absence from practice.
Buffers team, which boasted Of Ey-
rich. Krogstad, ORourke. Whyte. De-

was no better in paving the way for the
backfeld.
Shift after shift was tried to little ef-

were disappointed, for the line made no

PROBABLE LINEUP.

There Is a strong probability that the
days for the high school football cham
pionship games will be changed to
Wednesdays and Saturdays. Heretofore
the school games have invariably been
played on Tuesdays and Fridays, but
the board of athletic advisors have seen
Mt to change the days of the week on
which games shall be played.
The first game will be played tomor-
row according to the schedule already
adopted. and the change in dates will
probably take effect beginning with the
second game between Technical and
Eastern High Schools.
Jack Gass, the famous Lehigh Uni
versity football player. has been Sc
lected to referee the high school games,
and Thomas Kirby is the choice of the
athletic board for umpire.
Final practice before the first game
for the high school football champion
ship will be had today by Central and

put his charges through signal practice

! mage will be had with Centrars second

| dictions to the effect that Western has

both teams at work have advised the
use OF the drop kick alternated with

rain drove the Dartmouth squad In
doors yesterday. and for the second
time this year the big baseball cage in

No scrimmage was held. partly because

to take no chances with the substitutes.
Secret practice was held again, and sig

afternoon.
The injury to Hogsett has left a big
hole in the back field. Dana was kept
at right end and Barends was taken
from right tackle to left. He played
