Princeton Plays
in Rain and Mud

PRINCETON. n. j., Oct. 25.-Mud
and rain could net make the Prince
ton coaches think of losing day of
outdoor practice in preparing TO meet
Dartmouth on Saturday, and they put
the Tiger squad through an hours
scrimmage In addition to the usual
preliminary drills in signals, tackling
and kicking.
The players did not, seem to mind
the treacherous footing. but rather
reveled in a change from the an
moving dust Of the past week or two.
Coach Cunningham again played In
the. hackfield for Herring's team, but
none OF the other coaches ventured
into the game. This first period was
one of defensive tactics entirely for
the varsity, and they played a good.
aggressive game, keeping the scrubs
from any consistent gaining, and ire
quentfy catching them behind their
line for losses.
The second period of half an hour
was played against the freshmen, and
offensive tactics received. more atten-
ton. The varsity scored three times
and held the cubs safe throughout.

may meet the runners from the Uni
eersity of Virginia on the morning OF
the Georgetown Virginia football
game. November 18th, If the project

with the Virginia authorities at once.
Under the direction of Coach Jimmy
Muiiigan, the cross country team Will
be developed at once in the hope OF
not only meeting Virginia but OF de-
veloping q number of track stars LOT
the coming winter meets. That the
track team will be given as much at
tention as any of the other sports
comes from the announcements that
the team will probably be taken to
Boston. Philadelphia and New York In
the winter. and that a number of men
win be taken to the metropolitan
cha mpionships.
The track team at present numbers
several exceptionally good men, among
them Johnny Gallagher, the famous
runner and former Brown prep star
Landon, Chapman, Mehoney, Young
and others. Coach Muliigan expects
to develop championship two-miie
team which will probably compete
against Yale. Penn, Brown and Cor
nell in the spring relay carnival at
the university Of Pennsylvania,
In order TO develop men for the

will take daily workouts over course

Meeting the Burglar Alarm Company in
the Empire building with the F. S. White
Dental Companys suite on the eighth
floor of the Grant building rang furiously.
The alarm people telephoned franticaly
for police help and Captain Poole took
eight men on a dash from the police sta
ton to the corner of Broad and Walton
There the men deployed and a guard was
put around the entire Grant structure,
while Poole, with drawn gun, rushed up
to the dental rooms and forced his way
in. He found nobody nor could any of his
men, though they searched the building
from basement to roof and went over ev-
cry foot of the bank offices
There was not even a trace OF burglar,
but Captain Poole detailed two men to
keep watch until daybreak. Then they
searched the building again
The police theory is that the burglar
alarm wires became crossed.
