Quakers Seek Punch in Attack
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune :

tBy Telegraph to The Tribune
Germantown, Philadelphia, Oct. 26-
The Pennsylvania football team came
out of the Indian game with so many
sore muscles that the coaches ordered 4
complete rest to-day for all but varsity
substitutes. The only regular who
turned up for the scrimmage with tho
scrub was Dorizas, the Greek. who. al
though suffering from an liberated law
which hen ad Just had lanced. told the
coaches he hadn't had enough work
The coaches are greatly impressed
with the improvement Dorizas has
shown in six weeks of football instruc-
ton and predict that he will be star
soon. In the scrimmage between the
varsity substitutes and the scrub tho
substitutes scored, but most of the
work was devoted to developing AN az
tack with a punch.
Not since the first game of the vear
with Gettysburg has Pennsylvania been
able TO carry the bali over the live
with straight football.
Dick Marshall, the star drop kicker
OF last years team. was on the ield
this afternoon and devoted a good deal
of time to coaching Matthews. This
big halfback was disappointment On
Saturday, for both of his kicks were
blocked. Unless he improves the

PLENTY OF WORK
FOR THE TIGERS
NOurSe Tried at Tackle on
Varsity and Smart at
One Guard.
lBy Tllcgraph to The TrIbuncl

Princeton, y. j.. Oct. 26.-0nly the
men who played all or most Of the
game against Dartmc1th last Saturday
on PrincetOn's varsity football squad
were spared the usual hard practice
this afternoon. Most of those who
shared their labors with others were
sent into a vigorous forty-fve minutes
scrmmage with the scrub. 1t resulted
in two touchdowns for the regulars
against one touchdown and a field goal
for the scrub.
The developments of greatest sign'h-
canoe were several shifts that indicate
the judgment of the coaches in several
cases which have been hanging fire :or
several weeks.
The work Of Gennert and Haviland
at centre seems TO have been salts
factory enough for the coaches 10
eliminate at least two candidates for
this position who were considered
fairly strong competitors up to the
last week or two. NOurse, who snapped
the ball for the early season games,
appeared at tackle to-day, and the
coaches said that he would have n
thorough test in that position. He
had a short trial there in the presea-
son practices before he went to centre,
him an edge on the substitute tackles
who are now filling McLean's place.
Ike Smart, a substitute centre for
two years, has been shifted to guard,
and if he makes good there is some
possibility that Hogg will leave the
waiting list for guard and enter the
contest for tackle. King, one of last
years freshman players, has been
moved up from the scrub squad to boil
ster up the competition for varsity
centre, and will keep Gennert and
Haviland on the jump. Longstreth,
the l9l-pOund substitute, has fully re-
covered from an early season injury
and is causing stir among those who
are called reserves for Schenk and +.
Trenckmann at the guard positions.
TibbOtt, Doolittle, +. Trenckmann and
Roland made up the second string
backfield to-day. with Moore in Doc
Titles place for a short time. lib
bolt and Boland again alternated at
quarter and full. with Roland calling
the signals from both places. Boland's
forward passes went little better TO-
day, but were still below his standard.
Tib5ott lodged through half the scrub
team after receiving one of these
passes and scored touchdown on IA
iiftyyard run.
The official report from Keene Fitz-
, pdtrica. the trainer, gives the encour-
aging news that Eddie Trenckmann, the
guard who iimped from the field in the
game last Saturday. was not seriously
injured and probably will be able TO
play again this week.
All the other men except Law are
reported as being in tine condition.
Law has suffered from a slight illness.
of which the coaches had no knowledge
until late last week. They say that he
will be allowed TO rest most of this
week.

MORE COACHES FOR NAVY
Olcutt, Vaughn and Brown
Added to Staff.

Annapolis, Md, Oct. 26.-The import
ant developments in football at the
Naval Acad my to-day were the arrival
of three new coaches and the granting
of additional practice privileges to the
football men. The coaches are Her
man Olcutt and Vaughn, of Yale, and
Brown, the big Navy lineman who
played on the team for four seasons
and was admitted by the experts to be
of All-American calibre.
The Yale men were on the field to-
day, and while their duties with the
team have not yet been settled, they
probably will be added to the coach
in. staff for a portion or the whole Of
the season. Brown and Olcutt will be
of great service in instructing the
green cand dates for the line.
BY the action OF the authorities, the
players will be excused from drills on
Mondays and Fridays, thus being able
to use the full afternoon on these days
as well as the others of the week. Miles
continued at quarter this afternoon.
and VESSEL, who did such good work
on Saturday, displaced Failing at right
half.
Miles and Craig. the latter playing
half on the scrub, did the best running
with the ball. Practice was light.

Stillman and Bunker Tried
on the Ends of the
Line-Waite at
Quarter.

New Haven. Oct. 26.-COntrary to
the customary policy of rest on Mon
day, the Yale football squad was sent
through two long scrmmages this af-
ternoon. Frank Hinkey made number
of line and backfeld shifts in an ef-
fort TO remedy the weakness shown on
Saturday.
Walter Camp was at the field and
assisted Hinkey in the line instruction,
while DR.. Bull took charge of the punt
ing and backheld work.
Alec Wilson and Captain Talbot,
who are not in the best of condition,
stayed out of the scrimmage. Aims
worth and lie Gore also rested, but the
latter did some punting.
The most important line shifts were
in the outpost places, Stillman. the
varsity crew man. and Bunker, who
has been used at tackle, holding down
the wing positions. Jack Wiley was
moved from centre, White taking his
place in the first scrimmage. Walden
and Ccnroy started in the guard places,
and with White stood off the second
teams hard line smashes in good style.
Walden was particularly aggressive.
Belts and "Chub" Sheldon were the
tackles.
Effie Waite was at quarter for the
varsity. He has been playing dash
ing game at left half but with sur
plus of good backs and no dependable
substitute for Alec Wilson Hinkey
tried him at quarter. Waite is one Of
the fastest men on the squad and ran
the eleven in workmanlike fashion. His
broken field run of seventy-fve yards
for touchdown was a feature of the
practice.
Metcalf was the scrubs strongest
individual player. The little halfback
tore past the Yale ends time and again
in the same way Speigel did on Satur-
day. The varsity usually failed to stop
him until he had made twelve or ff-
teen yards
Nal Scovil, at left half for the
varsity, was the steadiest ground
gamer.
Joe Thompson, last years first sub
stitute quarterback, drove the scrub
attack at top speed and made several
long runs. Braden, az right half for
the scrub, got away once for run OF
twenty-five yards and ripped the
varsity line for five and ten yard gains
in the last period OF the FRAY.
