Cs-sdian Rugby Players to Aid

Cambridge. Mass, Oct. 19.-ln spite
Of tAe lard game with Tufts last Sat
urdny. he Monday football practice for
ras.'ard was far from the usual condl-
Z ioRfag session. The varsity was lined
AZ Early and put through its PAGES In
q Iyng dummy scrimmage. heretofore
the work on attack has been on the
lines OF straight forward football, but
TODAY trials of far more open attack
were made. The varsity was IN pos
session of the ball most of the time
No attempts to score we're made, but
the new plays were worked out TO
nicely.
Harvard is heading for the Princeton
game. and not until next week VIII
special attention be paid to the prepa-
ration for the coming of the Michigan
Wolverines. Eight Canadian Rugby
players, several of whom already have
heen at New Haven, came TO the sta
dium to-day to show the Harvard play
ers some of their own game:
The visitors did no work with the
varsity. but coached the scrub, from
which several members will be taken
later in the week and match played
in secret against the regular team. II
is hardly likely that Harvard will
change its methods of attack as the re-
suit of the Canadians visit.
Percy Haughton realizes that II is
too late to shift his plays, but the Ca
nadians were welcomed. because Har-
yard will see what these Rugby play
ers have shown the Crimson's New Ha-
ven rivals.
Stanley Pennock was back on the
rush line to-day, but Trumbull had a
rest, his place being taken by BigelOw
Rollins was with Hardwick and Francke
in the backfield, and the latter took
hold with a vengeance. lie is very
powerful and will be a real asset
1ogan's shoulder is still bothering him
and he will be withheld for several
DAYS. The chances for his getting into
the Penn State game are slim.
There will be hard scrimmage on
Wednesday, but tomorrow the work OF
perfecting the varsity on its open game
will continue.

No Monday Rest for
Princeton on GridirOn

Ames alternated at the position. much
as they did last week. 1t is evident
that the choice is being held up until
Eberstadt can get back into the run
ming. and Keene Fitzpatrick, the
trainer, promises to have him ready TO
report tomorrow. Others who will be
released from the injured list to-mor-
row or next day are Nourse and Moore,
and there is some slight possibility
that Mclean and Stew Baker will be
ready this week.
Nourse will lend added strength to
the line at centre, and Moore will at
least liven up things a bit in the back
field. Mclean is needed at tackle, but
il is not probable that he will take
the risk Of playing against Dartmouth.
All the regulars, with the exception Of
Captain BALM, got into the scrimmage
to-day. Ballin's place was occupied by
Love and Latrobe. briggs played most
Of the game at fullback, when Law and
Boland were out
He scored a touchdown for the var
sity against the scrub, and should have
scored the other, but fumbled the ball
Just as he was crossing the goal line,
and Brown gathered it in for touch
down.
The scrub was on the defence in its
own territory for practically the full
fifty minutes, but managed to inter-
rupt the varsity advance several times
by killing the forward passes Of the
regulars.

New Haven. Oct. 10 Captain Tai
bott did not report at Yale Field this
afternoon. and Wiedeman took ms
place ut left tackle in The light drlll
of the varsity eleven.
Alec Wilson, whose knee was slight
ly hurt again on Saturday, was at the
field, but kept his foot off the ground
with a crutch TO avoid aggravating the
trouble. Archie MacLeish took his
place in the signal practice. MacLeish
ran the team during the scrimmage
last week, ard directed the attack 30
swell that he is considered first choice
as substitute quarterback.
Won Holt is still unable to play. lie
had the call over Wiedeman and Shell
don for right tackle until he injured
his wrist a week ago. Conroy, Wiley
and Walden, the centre trio, were IN
the lineup to-day. Conroy and Walden
will have to fight out the guard places
this week with Cakes and Sheldon.

LIE Gore and Knowles practised punt
ing for half an hour under the eye OF
Billy Bull after the signal work was
over, and Otis Guernsey had long
drop-kicking drill.
In the scrimmage between the sec
ond and third teams Bentley, the
scrub quarterback, did the best work.
He was the only steady ground gamer
and made the only touchdown that was
scored
RED" Brann played good game at
right end for the second team. he
was fast down the field and tackled

has been developing rapidly, played a
brilliant offensive game.

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct. 19.-Twenty-sev
men will constitute the Cornell football
squad that will face Brown in New
York on Saturday, was the announce
ment Of the coaches here tonight.
The players will not be picked until
after the final scrimmage on Thursday
afternoon. A blackboard talk this al
ternoon was the first preparation for
the Brown game. There is hope that
Captain Jack O'Hearn will play his old
position at right end on Saturday, but
the improvement to his injured leg is
so slow that even as late as tonight
DR.. Sharpe would not state positively
that O'Iearn would play even few
minutes.
Munsick and Phillip, the other var
sity cripples, are in condition to scrim-
mage again. II is doubtful, however, if
the latter will see much service, as
Shutter is expected to play left half
back.
DR.. Sharpe said tonight that il Phil
lipi is to make the first team he will
have to beat Shutter out, and since
Shutter has shown exceptional form
lately. it is likely he will continue at
halfback. Sharpe intends to keep Hill
at fullback, but Kleinert is to be used
steadily and developed for emergencies

Quarterback Problem Still
Unsolved, but May Be
Settled on Return
of Eberstadt.

Princeton. y. j.. Oct 19.-Monday
rest was fiction not to be thought OF
by football men at Princeton To-Day
for not day could be lost in putting
into effect the lessons learned IN the
LAFAYETTE game last Saturday.
Fifty minutes of driving scrlmmage
was only an introduction to the work
of preparation for Dartmouth. 1t re-
suited in two touchdowns for the 'var-
sity.
The first change to be made as a
result of Saturdays game was the to-
tai abandonment of the policy of send
ing a tackle out for interference, IN
troduced only last Tuesday and tired
as an experiment against Lafayette.
The coaches lay the weakness OF the
line on the offence to this experiment
and think that the forwards can be
put in better condition for next Satur-
day with little trouble.
Little progress was made to-day tow
ard settling the quarterback problem,
for Eberstadt was not allowed to enter
active work, and Boland, TibbOtt and

Coaches at West Point.

West Point, n. Y, Oct. 19.-The Army
football squad got back on the gridiron
to-day and was sent through a hard
scrimmage lasting over an hour.
The Red Cross squad was augmented
to-day by the addition of Benedict and
McEwsn, who were hurt in Saturdays
game with Colgate. The showing Of
the linemen on Saturday was so dis
couraging that some radical changes
are likely 70 be made this week during
the preparation for the contest with
Holy Cross.

A report was circulated yesterday
that the Wards, owners of the Brook
Ign Tip Tops, were planning deal for
the purchase of the Yankees. Frank

American League club, said "The re-
port is without grain of truth. My

Robert B. Ward, of the Tip Tops, al
though admitting that he had not dis
cussed the purchase with Mr.. Farrell.
declared that man whom ne believed
TO be acting as an intermediary had
asked him If he would consider buying
the Yankees.
Mr.. Ward replied that he would be
glad to do so if the price was right
and if the other Federal League owners
were recognized and protected by or
gained baseball. Ii has been sug-
gested that by selling the Yankees to
the Wards and the Cubs to WEIGH
man basis for compromise might be
reached with the Federal League this
winter.
Harry Hampstead. owner of the
Giants, said last night that if the
Wards purchased the Yankees they

Hanover, n. H., Oct. l9.-In a steady
downpour of rain the Dartmouth foot

the game with Princeton on Saturday.
Secret practice and hard scrimmage
will be in order until Thursday, when
the squad leaves for Tigertown. Half
of the time will be given to perfectine
defence against Princeton formations
and TO breaking up the forward pass,
as there is little doubt that Princeton
will resort often to this means of ad-
vancing the ball.
In Hanover there is no feeling of
overconfidence; only a determination to
win. Frank Cayanaugh has nothing TO
say about the game, his only statement
being that he hopes to have Whitney,
Murdoch and Curtis in prime con lition
when the team leaves. He has no
cause 20 worry over the end situation,
as Dartmouth has four or five ends
whose work is steadily improving and
who should give 4 good account of
