| New York, Oct. 24.-None of the
| larger eastern colleges have big foot
ball games in prospect for tomorrow
| for the first time this season, although
| Yale and Harvard will be still engag-
ed in the socalled tuning up process OF
secondary contests. One OF the ciosese
| fought battles of the day may be ex-
| pected at Princeton. Twenty-Seven
| members of the Dartmouth squad ar
rived in New York from New Hamp-
| shire early today on their way to meet
| the Tigers, planning to put in the late
| afternoon here in final practice on ONO
| field at New York university. Five
| hundred undergraduates who followed
| the Dartmouth squad down from Han
| over seemed more enthusiastic than on
previous journeys to Princeton, conn.,
| dent that the Green stands better
chance this year than in the past of
defeating Princeton.
| Coach Cavanaugh said today that
| with the exception Of Ambrose and
| Snow his team was in the pink of
| condition and well fit for a great tus-
sic. He admitted his team lacked
weight but he said it could take all
I kinds of punishment and had the sus-
| squad.
| At Princeton the problem of dealing
with the forward pass plays of the
| Hanover team engaged Coach Andrews
in light drill yesterday afternoon.
| The team showed Improvement, play
| in the work of Gle, who may be
| seen tomorrow at either left guard or
tackle. Lambarton and some of the
| other regulars were given a rest, TAX
| ing no risk of injuries before Saturdays
| game, for the Tigers admit they are
/ none too sure of their strength. Trainer
Keene F'itz Patrick thinks his men are
| in fine condition and ready to give
| good account of themselves.
Pennsylvania and Carlisle.
The University of Pennsylvania
against the Carlisle Indians is also ex-
pected to prove an even struggle to-
| morrow. The Pennsylvanians lined up
against a second eleven training in the
new kinks of the Indian forma ton yes
terday afternoon and broke them up
with the utmost ease. Meanwhile, at
the Carlisle school. Coach Warner
with the use of an ingenius stratagem
formed his men into strenuous aft
ernoon's practice. His new idea was
a mannikin drill, which proved inter-
esting to the few onlookers.
The idea was to fill out a team op-
posite the varsity, instructing it not t.,
resist the onslaught of the regulars.
The men went through the general de-
fensive formation but restrained from
varsity players. This exercise, which
Warner thought very beneficial, was
used to save the much bruised Indians
from further hurts.
At New Haven some slight apprehen-
sion is said to be felt over the game
with Washington and Jefferson aft II
the latter's II to 0 victory over Penn
Sylvania state. Generally, however,
this is not taken seriously and those
who saw the Varsity playing at top
were confident that the team was in
form to deal with the visitors, however
hard opponents they might prove to be.
One of the latest sources of enthusi-
asm in the Yale camp is the work of
Benjamin Avery at left end. In yes
terday's practice he handled Wilson's
forward pass from the 10 yard line for
the only score of the afternoon.
Harvard Has Little Fear.
! On the basis of the Washington and
Jefferson score against Pennsylvania
State college, Harvard in meeting the
latter tomorrow should have less to
fear than Yale, engaged with the for
mer. The crimson players worked
with a vengeance in final practice for
the game yesterday afternoon. The
scrimmage lasted forty minutes with
mixed lineups and with honors even
between the opposing squads. Captaiu
Storer played his first game at end
and made such good showing that it
seemed likely he would be kept In that
position. Gilman, who took his place
at tackle, showed up strongly and
probably will be kept in Storer's old
place.
A source of gloom in the Harvard
camp is the announcement that John
Milholland will give up football at the
request of his father. Milholland had
proved a good end and good kicker
and his loss is likely to be felt.
At West Point there mas been no let
up all week in development of the
Army eleven with the Army-Navy con-
test in distant view and the Cadets ex-
pect to beat Tufts tomorrow, although
they have suffered a considerable set
back from injuries and weakness was
shown in last Saturdays contest with
Colgate. i
At Ithaca the Cornell team is said to
have emerged from a long slump as
shown last Saturday in the game
against Bucknen, and in brand new
uniforms they will descend upon Pitts
burg tomorrow looking for a victory.
Williamson, one of the biggest men ia
the line. however, is still suffering
from a kick in the arm and probably
will not be able to play tomorrow.
