reports from Farmville say that the
Presbyterian eleven has not shown
better form this season than during
the past week Of practice.
Coach Dobson has been giving the
Red and Blue team some hard work
this past week. and the few kinks in
the working of the machine, which
were demonstrated in the game with
Randolph Macon last Saturday have
been eliminated. The eleven is work
ing In excellent form. and the stu
dent body as vel! as the coach expects
much of it in the first championship
contest.
TackIlng has been one Of the chief
things stressed during the present
week. and the players each afternoon
have been practiced against the stiff
arm and the lodging of the coach.

Coach Dobson. however was firmly
convinced of the defensive weakn ess
of his eleven on the wings in the ex~

and has given considerable time to
the further development Of the
players on the extreme outskirts OF
his line. His secondary line OF de-

Two Harvard Stars

REX HITCHCOCK AND EDDIE
MaHAN OUT OF THE
GAME.

CAMBRIDGE. MASS. Oct so.--It
became definitely known at Harvard
today that neither Rex Hitchcock,
right tackle, nor Eddie Mahan, the
Crimson's brilliant fullhack. will be
able to play against Cornell Saturday.
because Of their recent injuries.
Today's work for the varsity was
not as hard as yesterdays. but ii was
hard enough. First the regulars,
again with Bradlee In the back field,
defended their goal line against the
scrub team, which was putting on
Princeton's plays. The line and end
Wtack did not gain much ground
against the varsity, but the forward
pass plays were very successful. the
scrubs holding the ball and gaining
on almost every other forward pass
particularly used. most Of them being
short passes. close to end. and net
ting only short gains. The varsity put
on the plays that will be used against
Cornell. including several new ones.
No attempt was made to score except
by dropkicks. In the dummy scrim-
mage, Brickley made several shots,
but did not score once, his tries being
SO inaccurate that Percy Haughtor
had a special drill on dropkicks. dur
ing which Rrickley scored FIVE goals in
about ten tries.
