Technical High Schools football
squad is today receiving the congratu-
lations of its friends and colleagues for
finishing the 1911 scholastic football sea-
son with a clean slate. The Black
smiths made their last appearance yes
terday In a battle with Business, which
the former won by % to 0. Technical
has defeated Western, Eastern, Bush
ness, and has tied with Central for first
position.
This morning, at the Manual Train
Ing School an assembly. of all the stu
dents was called by Principal Daniel
and the members Of the Maroon and
Gray football team were highly praised
Tor the showing made during the pres
ent season.
That but twenty-three points were
scored against Business is due to the
fact that the Stenographers have un-
dergone striking Improvement since
their last appearance IN championship
game. While their attack was never
good for more than ten or fifteen yards
the defensive work demonstrated by
>the Rhode Island Avenue eleven was
ereditabie. Being many pounds lighter
to the man than the Blacksmith squad,
the Stenosraphers often held the heavy
attack Of Manual Trainers. But for
poor judgment shown by Business quar-
terback when the ball was dangerously
near, it's goal at least two touchdowns
by Technical could have been averted.
With the ball on the 15-yard line,
the Orange and Blue team, after fall
ing to gain, attempted double pass

Gilchrist and McReavy
Play New Combination

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 15.-The lat
est combination In the Naval Academy
backfield consists of Gilchrist at quar-
terback, Dalton and Nichols at the
halves and Collins at fullback. AS Nc
Reavy Is playing a combination end and
quarterback with Gilchrist In a forma-
ton which carries the ball, the present
arrangement of the backfield Is a very
strong one In the line-smashing game
and also makes use Of the end running
and lodging Of Nichols. There is still
a possibility that Rodes will be found
in the final lineup in place Of Collins.
but in other respects the lineup gives
every evidence of permanency.
The coaches think well of Gilchrist's
work at quarter and 1t Is certain that
he is surer on short plunging gains
than Sowell, whose place he has taken.
The system makes a heavy demand on
Gilchrist, as he occupies his old end posi-
tion when on the defense. Still. he Is a
man of powerful physique and always
willing and ready and is not suffering
from his double responsibility. Leonard
would probably have been seriously con-
sidered for quarterback, but he Is still
suffering with the ankle which he
sprained badly last week.
In view of the important place that
punting will play in the Army-Navy
game with two such kickers as Dalton
and Dean opposing each other, great
stress is placed by the coach on the
linemen getting down the field under
work along this line, but Elmer, the big
left guard, has not shown sufficient ag-
gressiveness and he has been replaced
by Wakeman.

Junior class and one member Of the
senior class left here on foot at s o'clock
this morning to walk to New Haven.
According to their plan. the students
will refuse all lifts en-route to their

miles. with the exception Of a ferry
ride from Jersey City to New York.
According to the schedule. the youth
full Westons will cover the fifty miles
between here and New York today, will
walk forty miles to Stanford on Thurs
day, and will cover the last forty miles
to New Haven on Friday. The un-
dergraduate body here is manifesting
great interest in the trip and there are
many wagers up as to the possibility of
their reaching Yale Field In time for
the battle.
The four energetic students are T. F..

Probably the best play of yesterdays s

pretty near the center OF the field,

JACK GASS. MAY BE

Former Lehigh Star May Ofciate at Virginia. George

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Nov. 15.-In
spite of reports circulated after the
gaRae with Swarthmore here some
weeks ago that Jack Gass. the we'll
known washington football official,
would never be allowed to offlciate In
game in which Virginia was party,
It is not at all Improbable that he will
be selected as umpire for the game on
Georgetown Field next Saturday. His
name, together with those of Tom
Thorpe. of Columbia, and Mike"
Shaughnessy, who has oftime officiated
in games between Georgetown and Vir-
ginia, has been suggested among
others to the National Football Board
for consideration. Thorpe has been
mentioned as a probable referee, and
Shaughnessy, who is former WASH
ington American League ball player,
who managed the Roanoke team Of the
Virginia Baseball League last season,
as field judge.
Nothing definite has been decided. but
It has been stated on reliable authority
that these three men would be accept
able on the Virginia end. Definite an
nouncement will probably be made by
the national board as to their selection
within the next forty-eight hours.

Tigers Still Working
To Strengthen Attack

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 15.-The
Tiger coaches had their men in hard
scrimmage lasting over an hour yester-
day afternoon, but at the close Of the
days work there was no noticeable i'm
provement in the offensive power Of
the varsity. Throughout the greater
part of the practice the first eleven was
lined UP on the offense against the
scrub, but, as usual, was unable to
advance the ball consistently down the
field. No account Of downs was taken,
but even with this advantage the var
sity was unable to push the ball over
their opponents goal line for a touch
down.
Interference was woefully lacking, and
1t proved an exception when a varsity
back or lineman succeeded In warding
off an opposing tackler from the rum
ner. The line, which on the defense
has proved to be Princeton's strongest
factor, was unusually weak on the at
tack, with the result that time and
again the second string forwards were
able to break through and nip plays be-
fore they were fairly under way.
The only encouraging feature of the
afternoons work was the kicking. De-
witt and Andrews both showed good
form In punting, while at drop kicking
Baker and Dewitt both made several
pretty goals.
During the latter part of the practice
the varsity was put on the defense, but
missed the services of White, Hart,
+, Vaughn, and Dewitt, all of whom were
given lay offs, and the scrubs were able
10 make considerable ground by straight
football.
White, Vaughn, Dewitt, and Hart
were only in the scrimmage for a short
time. Hammond substituting for White,
Ormond for Hart, Andrews for Vaughn,
and Sawyer for Dewitt.
Pendleton was again at quarterback
and from the present outlook will un-
doubtedly start in this position in the
Yale game. Farr. quarterback. was or
the field for the first time since he In.
jured his ankle several weeks ago, but
still has a bad limp, and his chances
for getting into the contest at New
Haven are dwindling. This is also true
in the case of Wight. whose injured
knee is not healing as fast as had beer
noped for.
The varsity lined up as follows
White, Hammond, left end; Hart, Or.
mond, left tackle: Brown, left guard

Dean May Not Play
In Army-Navy Contest

WEST POINT. N. Y. Nov. 15.-With
the Navy game less than two weeks
away. the Army team is in a somewhat
crippled condition. and yesterday the
majority of the varsity men were on
the side lines Arnold did not get into
the scrimmage, and although Benedict
reported after having a weeks lay-off.
he was only allowed to run through
signels.
Walmsley played in Arnold's place at
guard and then relieved Sibert at cen.
ter, Purnell going In at guard. Hyatt
played a short time, and was sue
cceded by Keyes.
II now looks as IL Dean, who was
injured, might not get into the Navy
game. and Hodgson is being developed
for the place at fullback. Hodgson has
proved a good man in handling rnnts
and In running them back he is Deans =
equal. although his punting is not up
to Dean;s standard. Hodgson left the
game early yesterday with a sprained

slight. Hobbs, in making an end run,
turned his ankle and had to retire.

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 15.--In re-

Dartmouth, Parke H. Davis, former
Princeton star and old Nassaus repre-
sentative on the intercollegiate football

communication to the Daily Prince

1T will be noted that this rule is very
broad. At the session of the rules COM
