Process of Rejnvenation Goes
Merrily on at Princeton

PRINCETON, Oct. 30.-Live wires
lead to the Princeton football field
from all parts of the country during
these days OF preparation in the
Tigers lair for Harvard and Yale.
Two new men who have proven Har-
wards undoing in the past reached
here yesterday and raised Princeton
stock another notch. Aieck Moffatt,
the man who scored four field goals
IN the one game and Inundated Har-
ward by a score Of 26 to 7 one year
and made 1t "a to the next,
is one who answered the call for
reinforcements for the next two weeks.
The Harvard hoodoo is present in
MacGregor. the coach of the 1911
team, which, led by Eddie Hart, who
is also here, defeated Harvard again
in that year.
Practise yesterday consisted large
~ of a half-hour OF scrimmage on
the freshmen field against the cubs,
who were q close match for the var
sity not more than two weeks ago.
Yesterdays easy score of ~ to 0
against them showed the new life that
has been instilled into the regulars.
Click, STREET. and Hammond could not
be held by the freshmen, but tore their
way through the cub line for long
gains that landed each of them over
the goal line for touchdown.

Moffatt and MacGregor, Heroes
of Past, Join Tiger
Coaches.
HARVARD MAY LOSE STAR
PumpeIIy, Yale's Star Booter,
Twists Ankle in Hard
Scrimmage.

Football prospects at Princeton
took big jump yesterday when two
Tiger gridiron heroes of the past rail-
lied to the assistance of the Orange
and Black eleven. Moffat and Mac
gregor are the latest to join the IT,
gertown coaches. The result was a
fiery, spirited practise, during which
HOBBY Baker displayed an encourage
ing Improvement at punting and
drop kicking. Harvard and Yale have
both suffered big losses on the eve
of their important games. Hitch
cock, the Crimson tackle, twisted his
ankle in scrimmage and a similar ac-
cident laid Pumpelly, the sensational
Yale kicker, low. It is thought that
the injuries of both men, while not
necessarily serious, will keep them
out of Saturdays games. Coach
Brooke gave the Penn team the long
est scrimmage of the season in prep
aration for the coming clash with
Penn State, the first and second
teams battling on the field for more
than an hour.

made by one OF the illustrated
papers hero showing a. picture
OF the crowds besieging the gates

blunder have since learned that
all is not polo that's played on a

Coach Victor Schwartz, of Mont

that he has the goods In that squad

men carried the ball right to the
shadow of the East Orange goal posts
only to hand it TO the New Jersey
interscholastic champions on a for
ward pass. When the Montolair team
meets Barringer the locals will have

hope to take into camp by a large

East Oranges strength so much as
with their ability TO grasp opportu-

sheer lack of stamina they let the
winners take the ball away from

reported that the Centralites scored
on the New Jersey Interseholastic
champions yesterday and though it is
safe to assume that the suburbanites
shot over q couple OF touchdowns
during the afternoon, it is asserted
that the locals were a much improved
team. Owing to the present move

Tuesday between Barringer and
Central will attract unusual interest.
The rivalry between the schools has
grown exceptionally bitter during the

Up Field With Scrubs

CENTRAL SEEKS REVENGE
Former Newark Schoolboy
Looks to Have Permanent Po-
sition on Dartmouth Team.

Barringer High Schools football
team buckled down in earnest yester-
day afternoon in preparation for Gem
trail High School Although the Cor
nell freshmen appear on the local
schedule before the election day con-
test. it is a victory over the High
street institution that the Ridge
streeters have as an object. Coach
Broadhead put the Blue and White
through one of the toughest work
outs that has been its lot for many q
day yesterday. The chief lined up
the varsity and the scrubs in a
scrimmage of an hours duration. The
first-stringers started off with a rush,
and beginning with a run of the
entire length of the field by Garde-
nier. on the kickoff, the varsity piled
I'D score after score. Broadhead has
shifted Pete Schaaf. the lanky tackle,
on the left side to the end position,
bringing Searles. the Tanker. into
tackle. This shift was caused origi-
nally by the lay off of Van Ness, who
was injured in the Peddie game. Now,
the Barringer coach believes that
Schaaf is of greater value at the ex-
IRENE than he was at tackle. Schaaf
is well over six feet and possesses
the faculty of mailing forward passes
that are apparently out of reach. In
addition to this quality the new end
is speedy for a big fellow, and is get
ting on to the defensive tactics of the
flank position. ABE Hummell. the
Charley horsed back resumed prac-
tise yesterday and filed in at guard,
where he showed up to good advan-
tage. A husky and speedy lad, he
figures in sharp contrast to the stolid
Smithhurst. who played yesterday at
the other sentinel. The backf1eld of
the Blue and White is at last begin
ming to show signs of improvement.
Captain Andrew Dempsey and Bran
deis were accredited early in the
season with being veterans. But
Schneider and Seller are astounding
the Branch Brook school supporters
with their recently acquired sense of
picking the openings and getting
through them for substantial gains.
Schneider is born fighter. He tears
at the opposition in ferocious style,
and is seldom downed before netting
a chalk or more. Seller, one of the
lightest men on the squad, has a de-
ceptive gait, which stands him in
good stead when running through a
broken field,

PRINCETON ELEVEN'S AID

afternoon. Pumpelly returned to the
eleven only last week after being in
the infirmary three weeks with a
muscle bruise. While playing full
back for the scrubs yesterday he fell
III der a pile of players and his ankle
was slightly wrenched. Avery's knee
was slightly twisted. Taylor's head
was cut, and he will return to the
squad next week. He was halfback
for the scrubs.
Loughridge was placed at left tackle,
and the veteran Talbot was sent to
an end position on the scrubs. Cald-
well went from guard back to centre,
and Warren from tackle to right
guard. Hubbard's promising play at
right end held him in that position.
For the scrubs Fred Stillman, the
former tackle, was at right end, and
Roberts, the former varsity end, was
at left tackle.

first inning and knocked it out of the

Scott let the New York team down
with half q dozen scattered hits. Not
satisfied with that he struck out a
dozen batsmen. In sharp distinction
to the work of Scott was that of
Arthur Fromme. His offerings were
taken in the nature of jest, and
hammered to all corners of the lot.
