Philadelphia, oct. 29-Pennsylvania
football coaches are desperate, and, fac
ing almost sure defeat by State College
on Saturday. called on the squad for a
drill both morning and afternoon. Neither
was a mild practice. and despite the
warm weather the men were driven at
top speed. Different combinations were
tried in an effort to secure a competent
leader on the field. Craig. the fast quar-
ter-miler, was tried at quarterback, and
his work IN giving the signals was close
ly watched. Mercer is still nursing his
ankle and did not take part In the prac-
tice, and from what Smith said either
he or Craig would give the signals In Sat
urday's game.
Physically. Craig is not much 20 look
at, but ne is fast, and mentally, DR.. Carl
Williams says. he Is the peer OF any
player that the Red and Blue has tried
this season. The coaches insist that much
OF Pennsylvania weakness has been due
to the fact that they never had man
with cool head 10 direct the plays, and
that the team needs a rudder more than
power.
All the regulars, EXCEPT Captain Mercer,
were out, and, while The coaches paid
most attention toward bracing up the
line, the backs were the objects OF much
consideration. The men were coached in
diyidually and then rushed through a fast
signal drill before lining up for a scrim-
mage with the scrubs.
Harrington and Heilman alternated at
half and full back in the scrimmage. Of
fensively the varsity showed unexpected
strength. and, against the strongest pos

Unusual secrecy attended the work. and

Harvard Behind Closed Gates.
by Telegraph to The Tribune


Cambridge Mass. Oct. 2e.-Harvard's
football squad worked behind closed gates
again to-day, and for more than an hour
the regulars and substitutes played
against the second team. The men who
will start the Princeton game on Saturday
had the longest session against the scrub
players, who were allowed to keep the
ball all the time
Captain Wendell was anxious to get into
the scrimmage, but was not allowed to do
So His ankle is all right, and he walked
without a limp. He ran through signals,
but when the real football began he gave
way to Bradlee, Harvards first all-round
backfeld substitute who is about on a
par with the other backs. The varsity
did well on defence, showing more ten
dency than usual TO break through on
the scrub plays.
Harvard will start the game against the
Tigers as It did against Brown, except
that Gardner and Wendell Will be in the
lineup.
The line, unless some one is hurt be-
fore Friday, will be FELTON, and Coolidge,
ends; Hitchcock and Storer, tackles;
Trumbull and Pennock, quarts, and Par
menter, centre.
Wendell will surely play with Hardwick,
Brickley and Gardner IN the backfield.

Makes Good Showing in Prac-
tice Game with Commerce.

The Fordham University football eleven
lined up for an hours practice against
the High School Of Commerce team on
Fordham Field yesterday. Although con-
siderably weakened by injuries, the
Maroon eleven kept the schoolboys con-
tinually on the defensive. schaffmeister,
Joe Hinchliffe and Viyiano, who was at
right end, worked the forward passes for
long gains.
The Fordham eleven has taken a brace
since Its defeat by Norwich University

Coaches Soon to Drill Varsity
on Finer Points of Game.
(By telegraph 10 The Tribune.


West Point, N. Y, Oct. 2e.-There was
only light practice for the Army football
team to-day. The coaches drove the men
through a fast and snappy signal drill
and work In punting and goal kicking. in
which departments the varsity has shown
itself to be lamentably weak.
After weeks devoted to rudlmentary
football the coaches have chance to give
the eleven the finer points and strenuous
work will be begun tomorrow, In prepa-
ration for the game to be played here
with Holy Cross on Saturday.
Captain Devore is still iimping slightly
and Larabee's knees are giving him some
trouble. Larabee and o'Hare are trying
for substitute tackle, and the fight is
merry one O'Hare is green and lacks
experience, but Is willing to learn, and
carries lots OF weight. Larabee's injury
has kept him out OF several practices and
the last two games, but he Is likely to
get back In the play before long.

for the Cornell football squad mapped
out earlier in the day at a meeting Of the
coaches included strenuous work for the
regulars this afternoon, and as long as

movements Of the varsity down under
the western goal posts. Five times in
succession at the end OF the afternoon the
ball was given TO the varsity on the
lO-yard line to carry over the goal line.
Each time it succeeded in accomplishing
the task in a manner which demonstrated
that the attack Of the Red and White
team is improving daily.
When the second team was allowed ten
minutes possession OF the ball on the
5-yard line 1t succeeded in crossing the
goal line onl yafter a hard struggle, the
first string of forwards breaking through
and tackling the backs in good style.
Captain Eddie Butler took an active
part in to-days drill. for the first time In
several weeks but II was apparent that
he has not yet wholly recovered from the
injury TO his ankle and II will be only
with the best OF good fortune and care
that he will be Of much service this fall
He lined his men up early in the period
for signal drill and later took part for a
time in the scrimmage between the first
two teams.
Scrimmaging lasted an hour and half,
during which time the varsity made two
touchdowns and their goals. Uncle
Whyte was in the backheld at the start,
and his first play in two weeks was a
clever run. back Of twenty-five yards from
the KICKOFF. Butler used only the most
fundamental line attack, interspersed with
an infrequent end run.
Whyte and Eddie Hill found holes with
a regularity that had it's effec; in arousing
the desperate fighting spirit Of the scrub.
WHITE finally broke away around right
end for the score. When the second at
tempt was made to march down the field
a stronger resistance was encountered, and
II took the best that Taber and the rest
Of the backs could produce to make the
other touchdown.
The lineup from left end TO right was :
Eyrich, Munns, Larrowe, ]. S. Whyte,
Weidenthal. Williamson and Guyer with
Butler, quarterback; r. B. Whyte, left
half Taber. right half, and Hill, full
back. Collyer was early put in for Lar

Done With Cubs,
Says Joe Tinker

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Joe Tinker an
nounced to-day that he would never
again play with the Chicago Cubs. He
said:
II can't play the same kind Of ball
under Evers that 1 did under Chance.
Murphy may prevent my playing any
where else, but he can't make me play
here"
II is said that Garry Hermann. owner
OF the Cincinnati club, and Tinker have
agreed on terms for the latter to manage
the Reds IL he can get his release from
Chicago. In speaking Of this to-day
Tinker said:
Hermann will give one infielder and
two outfielders for me. No pitchers arc
to be included In the deal. I told Mr..
Hermann that did not want the Gin
cinnati club weakened. After our talk
he decided that he would give Grant for
me, or that Eyers might have two OF the
following four outhelders: Mitchell,
Kinsley Bates or Kyle.
"Evers says he will not consent TO
trade unless he can get Mike Doolan, OF
Philadelphia, for a shOrtstop. That Is
unjust to me. as there are Cincinnati
players available that would make up
good infleld."
