Work Out New Formations IN
Secret and Practice Some
Old Ones.
PLAYERS AT HANOVER BUSY
Ambrose Lost to Green Eleven
and Snow May Not Be Able
to Take Field Against
Princeton Team.
fBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Princeton. y. j.. Oct 0-Many hin
ORANGES TO fast work were overcome on
the Princeton gridiron this afternoon,
when the Tigers were put through a
snappy signal drill, In which all the speed
possible was called out, despite treach-
erously slippery field.
One or two new formations were
mapped out behind closed gates for the
Dartmouth game on Saturday, ard got to
working with a fair degree OF smooth
ness before the end Of the two hours OF
practice. A slight attempt was made TO
perfect one or two of the open plays that
have been used with such varying sue
cess in the games against Bucknell ana
Syracuse, but there is not a man on the
team who can pass with enough con-
sistenoy at present or one who can re-
ceive the passes with the certainty that
IS required.
Captain HOBBY Baker took his daily
dose OF punting at the close Of the signal
drill, and managed TO push his kicks on
an average of little over forty yards
with the wind He practised to accustom
himself TO judging how to take the ball
on the pass His work was not rs good
as that in Saturdays game with SYRIA
cuse
Bluethenthal took Eddie Trenkman back
OF the stands after the other men had
been dismissed for little side show OF
their own, in which he had Trenkman
shooting the ball at a wooden man rugged
Zip with a bell on his chest The con-
trivance served to show the real advance
made by Trenkman at his position, which
was new to him not more than three
weeks ago. He rang up one fare after
the other. and never missed the mark by
more than a few inches. Bluethenthal
considers him a promising centre. al
though not yet fully developed. II is his
opinion however, that the football world
will hear more of f. Trenkman in the
future.
Golding Wight, - an end on last years
team, arrived for a week Of coaching to-
day. and Eddie Hart. captain of the 1911
championship team. is expected this week
from Seattle just for the sake of helping
the coaches develop the men. Doc"
Hilebrand, 90. one of Princeton's most
famous athletes. who played varsity
football for four years and captained a
championship baseball nine, also is on
The list of arrivals.
The Tigers are all in good condition ir
spite of the hard fight with Syracuse,
and all were in their places to-day ex-
cept Phillips and Click. Law. the punter
returned to the field for the first time in
two weeks. but took no active part in the
work of the varsity.

tice period at the Naval Academy this
afternoon was devoted to puntlng and re-
ceiving kicks. all Of the backs getting a

RAIN BRINGS SQUAD REST
New York University Eleven
Weak in Tackling.

The heavy rain yesterday gave the
New York University football team a
chance to rest up after its game with
Springfield Training School on Saturday.
With the exception OF Mccullough. who
received slight twist to his knee. the
team came out none the worse for the
contest.
The game brought out the chief weak
ness OF the men-their inability TO tackle.
In play after play several tackles were
thrown off before tho runner with the
bail was downed.
With the exception of Huntley. Wiener
and Won Meehon. the tackling of the
team was miserable. High was well
pleased with tie improvement shown by
the line Not once did the visitors gain
any appreciable distance on line play.
Especially was the strength OF the line
shown on the Kick formations. Huntley

Williamstown. Mass. oct 20.-A heavy

indoors for practice here to-day. New
formations were run through and signal
work also received a great deal Of at
tention.
Although Weston Field was extremely
soggy. DAILY ordered the varsity 10 run

workout. Captain Vinal, right end. and
Walker, right tackle. received slight ankle
bruises In Saturdays game and were not
In togs this afternoon.
Speaking OF that game. DAILY said that
Dartmouth was not as powerful as last
year In running plays but was clever at
kicking. and that the large score piled up
against williams did not show the COM

Dartmouth Men Keep Busy.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Hanover. y. H., Oct. 2O-The Dart
mouth football squad reported TO a man
this afternoon. with the exception of Am
brose. who was hurt in Saturdays game
with Williams. His injury was a sore
blow both to the team and to himself.
He is a senior. and will have no more
chances. Everything was pointing in his
favor. and it was almost a guarantee
that he would play against Princeton on
Saturday. He was invaluable, both as a
line bucker and a place kicker.
Tuck ard Murdoch, who were slightly
injured on Saturday, were out in togs.
but unable 10 take part In any OF the
work. 1t is certain, however. that they
will both be ready by Saturday.
Snow appeared in uniform for the first
time in a week, but he was so lame that
the coaches have little hope OF his being
able to play against the Tigers. Dunbar
who again turned his ankle. seemed much
better. and probably will start the game
at centre. although Milmore is showing
we'll in his place.
The practice this afternoon was light
most of the work being inside because OF
the rain. Cavanaugh reviewed the Will
Jams game on the blackboard. and pointed
out deficiencies signal drill was held
in the baseball cage, but most Of the time
was spent in going through formations
that were not used against Williams
Cavanaugh has not yet found 1t neces-
sary TO reveal his few pet plays. Some
time was devoted TO a dummy defence
against Princeton plays.
Jim Randall and William are expected
this evening TO help in the coaching. and
II is probable that several other old play
ers will arrive within a day or So 1t is
Cavanaugh's idea TO have a coach for
every man before the Princeton game.

HIGH PRAISE FOR MAHAN
Harvard Back Proves Himself
a Real Star in Game
with Holy Cross.

Frank Cavanaugh, head coach Of the
Dartmouth football eleven, can boast OF
two quarterbacks this year between
whom IL is hard to make decision. NJ.
z. Ghee, jr., and Hank Lewellyn have
been running such a close race that both
are now considered first string men. and
both are almost sure 10 be seen in action
against Princeton next Saturday.
Last year Llewellyn was the regular
quarter, but Chez proved an able substi-
tute and made a most favorable impress
sion in several games. The latter has i'm
proved by leaps and bounds this season.
and In all probability he will start the
game against the Tigers. Ghee is heavier
than year ago. now weighing l52 pounds.
although he hardly looks 1t on the field.
Both men handle the team well and can
be ranked among the best quarterbacks
Of the season.

say OF Eddie Mahan:
Stars are rapidly coming TO tho

year IL was Brickley. and then Hardwick.
and Saturday IL was Eddie Mahan. The
former Andover star. who as captain OF
last years freshmen team at Harvard
pulled his team together for victory after
defeat seemed imminent. for the FIRST time
this fall showed the proves that stamped
him az sChoolboy wonder.
Mahan has come along SLOWLY THIS
year. For "A time he was tried at quar-
ter in addition TO playing halfback.
but soon IL was decided that during
his first season at least, IL was too much
TO expect him TO master two positions.
With Brickley and Hardwick assured OF
places in the backneld and with the
chance that Bradlee. after all. might be
used AS "A running back instead OF at
quarter. Mahan has had enough on his
mind TO worry even as Keen player as
he is. But Saturday Mahan turned loose

he is one OF the greatest players in the
game to-day.
