The growing power of labor also is

"A few years back our Congress had

SCRUB HOLDS DOWN ARMY
Little Improvement in Work OF
Regulars in Practice.
TBy.Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

West Point, n. Y, Nov. H.-The work
of the Army football team to-day was
somewhat Of an improvement over that
of Yesterday, but far from satisfactory.
The regulars and scrub were lined up
for a twenty-five-minute scrimmage, and
fought il out to another scoreless tie.
Purnell, who has been playing hard all
week, was resting to-day, and Dorer was
in his place at centre. The latter's poor
passing was responsible for some loose
handling of the ball in the regular back
field. There was a tendency to tumble
on both sides. and this is new fault to
haunt the coaches. The regular string OF
backs, Hobbs, Keyes and Benedict, with
Prichard at quarter was used to-day. II
was Hobbs's first scrimmage work of the
week. A tumble gave the Army the ball
on the scrub 15-yard mark, and keyes
bucked the centre to the l-yard line, but
all efforts to get it over failed.

on Saturdays football battle between
Yale and Harvard. said yesterday:
From what ! could Judge OF the Yale
and Harvard elcvens In their respective
games with us, l consider Harvard the
better team. The backs had more speed
than Yale, and the forwards were far
more aggressive. do not believe that
much ground will be gained through the
line by either team on Saturday. but eI-
pect the scoring to result from a drop or
place kick following some mistake made
by one OF the elevens.
"Harvards forwards play close to-
gether, and II the heavy Yale forwards
do not attempt to break through clean
but charge low and drive the line pacA
into the plays, Wendell will have little
chance TO star. I do not pretend to be
football expert. but as far as i could sec
