show no Ill effects of Saturdays game
with st. Johns. Capt. Joe Wood was
badly used up in the game, but the rest
over Sunday has brought him around,
and he will be with the squad this
afternoon. Coaches. players, and STU

TRACK PROSPECTS
ARE ENCOURAGING
At BLUE AND GRAY
Candidates Will Be Called
for Immediately After
Football Closes.

Many of last years track team at
Georgetown University have returned
for the coming season and prospects for
a fast team at the Hill Top are bright.
Immediately after the close Of the foot
ball season Captain Darlington will call
for candidates and work will be begun
at once. Mathison, Gross. Davis, Null
ligan, Martin, and Vlyman are among
the veterans who will answer the call
for track candidates.
There are more than half a dozen
newcomers at the Blue and Gray insti-
tuition who can be depended OH to show
up we'll on the cinder path and on the
gymnasium. Some Of these have won
fame at their preparatory schools.
Bob Eller. who is joint holder of
the 6O-yard hurdles, will be seen under
Blue and Gray colors. Hugh Golden,
who made name for himself on last
years preparatory team, will be out
for the hurdles. Rodrigues and Nc
Grath also come for the preparatory
school. Both of these men have a repu-
tation In dashes. L. Barret, high
Jumper. from Loyola College, is in the
freshmen year at Georgetown and will
be out for track work. Harry Costello,

Quaker Team Fears
Penn State SATURDAY.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 23.-With the
Brown game today a thing of the past
the University of Pennsylvania football
team will begin this week to prepare for
the State College. the Indians. and La
fayette. three big teams which come to
Franklin Field on successive Saturdays.
The fact that State College outplayed
Cornell has given the coaches food for
some deep thought, and they are plainly
worried lest the same team administer
a defeat to their charges.
Within the last week the coaches have
made a most important shift in the
lineup. This consisted in the transfer
OF Marshall from end to quarterback.
There were two reasons for this change
The first was that Marshall was not
playing the sort OF game on the end
that was expected of him. He failed to
diagnose plays quickly and was too
light to break up plays directed at him.
His shift to the backfleld was made
easier because of the splendid game put
up by Fisher when tried out at end
Fisher plays much the same sort OF
game as Jourdet, Is fast getting down
the field, and a sure tackler.

Harvard Eleven Is
Advancing Rapidly

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Oct. 24.-The
Harvard football team showed great i'm
provement last week over their previous
work. The Improvement of the team in
the Williams game a week ago was
marked over the play in the Holy Gross
game the week before, and the devel-
opment of the team, as evidenced by
their showing against Amherst. was
equally noticeable.
In the early part of the season the
backs did not work together. and their
interference was ragged. The coaches
have been paying especial attention to
this department OF the game. however
and the backfield Is now working more
like the well-oiled machine that II was
at this time last season.

Army and Navy Game
Becoming Prominent

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 2-With the
tie game playd by the Naval Academy
against Princeton Saturday and the de-
feat of the Yale team by the Military
Academy, the annual game between the
service teams springs into all the more
prominence as an athletic event. Should
Harvard go under to Yale and Prince
ton, the winner of the Army-Navy game
would have to be considered in settling
':he Eastern championship as the friends
Of the two teams dope 1t out. At any
rate, the great games played by these
teams yesterday vastly increases the in
terest In the annual match already of
special notability as deciding the tie of
seven victories each now assisting be-
tween the institutions.
The Navy team went through Satur-
days game without damage to any Of
its players. Neither Dalton nor Brown,
about whom the greatest anxiety exist
ed on account of previous injuries, was
scathed. Head Coach Howard aid last
night that he was entirely satisfied with
the work of the team and that the chief
problem of the coaches would be to
keep the team from going back on ac-
count of the comparatively light work
mapped out for them during the next
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical, and West Virginia.
Ensign Howard expressed especial
pleasure at the showing of Howe. the
2oS-pound guard. Howe was in the
squad last year, but was practically
given up as not having football stuff in
him. although he has both strength and
speed In addition to his weight. Care.
full handling by Ensign Howard has
made him one of the best linemen that
| the Navy has ever had and his work
clearly in the running for All-Americar
guard.
Field Coach Frank Wheaton left TO,
New Haven today. and will help witt
the Yale team for three days. No,
only will his services help Yale, bu
he will get the benefit of the Yale meth
ods for the Navy team and also learr
| a good deal about the Army team, &
which Yale fell a victim Saturday.

Yale Feels Defeat
By Soldiers Keenly

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct 23.-Yale's
disappointed and bruised football play
ers returned to New Haven last night
after one OF the most discouragfng
games a Yale team has played in sew
eral seasons. The defeat at the hands
of the Army is felt keenly, but Field,
Howe and Walter Camp all feel that
had the playing conditions been better
the game might have resulted different
ly 1t Is conceded that the cadets have
one of the best teams turned out on
the Hudson in years. but nevertheless
Yale would like to have tackled 1t on a
crisp, dry day.
Several of the Yale players were used
up in trying to do battle with the ele-
ments and the soldiers at once. and it
will take some time for the first string

in the game. These players were not
in the best of shape before the game
started, but 1t was decided to play
them on account of the strength OF
of the squad are slow in getting into
shape, and 1t is generally agreed that
it is lucky thing for the blue that
Colgate comes here next Saturday.
Inc With Idlt IL Is pointed
out, is that the team has had too much
of a picnic in the four games previous
to Saturdays, and in which no opportu-
nifty for real tryout has been given.
1t was up to the Army to demonstrate
that Yale's line, which had been re-
garded as being of the stone wall vari-
ETY.; is not impregnable and to show
that some hard work is needed to
bolster 1t up.
The ends are extremely weak for
Yale ends, the backs fail to work as a
unit and there are several positions,
from tackle to tackle, that We're shown
to be weak. A prominent football man
close to Yale athletics said today: 'The
team Is too much Of a one-man team
1t has been built up around Howe, and
with this player out of the game 1t is
like an army without a leader. The de-
feat at West Point Is the best thing
that could have happened, and from
now on ! look for change In the
front at Yale"
1t was stated later that w. Howe.

the players bought a little .'yaller"
dog for cents and took 1t to the game
as a mascot. The kyoodie insisted on
running behind the Blue and Gray
backs as they galloped their way
through the Richmond eleven. The Of
