greater part of the Cornell varsity
remained out of the scrimmage work
in practise yesterday afternoon
Fritz and Munns were the only ones
who entered into the scrimmage at
all, and these two only for a short
time. O'Hearn and Taber, who have
been on the injured list for the past
week, played throughout the scrim-
mage with the first combination,
O'Hearn at his old place at end and
Taber in place of Barrett at quar-
terback. The first eleven made just
one touchdown throughout the aft
ernoon.
Schiller, a half on last years var

day for the first time since the ac-

event of the afternoon was the an
nouncement of Doctor Sharp's Sc
lection of the training tables. The
squad was divided into two groups
to sit at separate tables. The first
group, consisting of the varsity elev-
en-, is composed of Reese, Mallory,

Penn Squad Gets Last Hard
Practise for Gettysburg Game

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2e.-The
Pennsylvania football squad was
given its last hard workout yester-
day in preparation for the opening
game of the 1912 season tomorrow
with Gettysburg. Head Coach
Brooke again drilled the men in de-
fensive tactics, and when the scrim-
mage was held with the scrubs the
varsity displayed a stonewall bar
rier to the scrubs attack while the
backfield men gained without much
difficulty.
Captain Young continued his good
work in the varsity backfield, while
Minds and Avery added greatly in
the advance of the ball. The Penn
lineup as selected by Coach Brooke
yesterday will no doubt be the team
which will be sent into the game
against Gettysburg. Yesterdays
scrimmage, though lasting only about
twenty minutes, proved the varsity
attack fast and vicious. with such a
strong defense that the scrubs could
not gain at all. The varsity scored
two touchdowns in the brief work
