SNOW ROUTS ARMY TEAM
Squad Has Short Scrimmage
in the Riding Hall.

West Point, y. Y, Nov. 19.-Driven
indoors by a terrific snowstorm and
wind, which is still raging and which
covered the gridiron with a white
blanket four inches deep, the Army
team took its two-hour workout in the
big riding hall to-day under the glare
Of arc lights.
The scrimmaging with the scrub was
of short duration. as the going in the
tanbark was so heavy for the backs
and ends that the coaches called halt
on the rough work early. The first
team spent the balance Of the time
perfecting the new plays 10 be used
against the Navy a week hence.
The defensive work against the Navy
formations, which has been the
feature of the scrub attack all week,
came to an end to-day. From now on
the coaches will bend all efforts in the
direction of perfecting the big teams
offensive drive and in polishing up the
new plays.
The physical condition Of all the
team is much improved. McEwan
played all the way through to-day and
favored his bad shoulder very little
Tully's injury practically eliminates
him from competition for the doubtful
end position. and the race is narrowing
down TO Neyland and Kelly.

NAVY COACHES IN DOUBT
Backfeld for Game with Army
Not Yet Selected.

Annapolis. Nov. 19.-The Naval Acad
envy coaches have not yet decided upon
the arrangement of the backfeld for
the Army game, but there are indica-
tons that il will be heavy, as a result
of the selection Of Failing as a running
mate for Blodgett, who is certain to be
the other halfback. These are the
heaviest men on the squad. weighing
i9l and 1876 pounds. respectively. and
the backfeld completed by II. Harrison
at fullback and Miles at quarterback
would average less than pound below
$50 pounds, though Miles's weight is
only 152 pounds.
Failing hits the line hard, is a good
defensive player, and las had the ex-
perlence of three years on the squad.
The coaches and trainers are now bend
ing their efforts toward maintaining the
present speed OF the team, perfecting
its execution of plays and getting the
players back into perfect physical con-
dition.
For those reasons the practice was
not hard this afternoon. and largely
consisted Of running through forma-
tions and stopping the scrubs plays.

COACH PRAISES
DARTMOUTH TEAM
Cavanaugh Makes Speech After
Final Practice-WOrk-
out in Snow.
iBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Hanover. y. H., Nov Dartmouth
held the last practice of the season
to-day, at the end of which the dummy
was burned and short speeches were
made by Cavanaugh and Whitney.
Cavanaugh's speech was as follows:
I'VE have almost ended "a very sue
cessful season. We have had our ups
and downs. but | believe that the team
Us stronger at present on account Of
the hard, gruelling work that has been
gone through. No one appreciates
more than | the sacrifice and hard
work necessary TO make a winning
team. want TO thank Captain Whit
ney. the weakest scrub and the entire
student body for their loyal support
We are going to Boston 10 win or know
the reason why"
Captain Whitney thanked the team
and entire squad for their support and
effort and asked them to keep up the
same spirit until after the game on
Saturday.
The practice to-day consisted OF
shadow scrimmage in the gymnasium
for an hour. The attack was against
the Syracuse formations. Cavanaugh
belltNtN lie mas OelcuCe CdpaDle OF
stopping the Syracuse backfield from
pulling off their trick plays. Later the
team went onto the field, which was
covered with two inches Of snow.
The coaches say that McAuliffe will
be back at his old tackle position on
Saturday and will be fit to stand a
hard battle. Ghee, Curtis and Murdoch
are in the pink of condition. All three
have fully recovered from the Penn
sylvania game. In all probability. Tel
fer will not start the game on Satur-
day. His knee bruise has been slow in
healing. Redfeld, who played a star
game against Pennsylvania last Sat
urday, will take his place.
1t is expected that six or eight hun
dred students will leave Hanover to-
morrow for Boston. The Green team
expects this game 20 be the hardest Of
the season, but is fairly confident OF
a victory. The lineup will probably
be:
Redfeld. left end; McAulifTe. left
tackle; Merrill, left guard; Milmore,
centre; Spears, right guard; Cotton,
right tackle Winship, right end; Chez,
quarterback; Whitney, left halfback;
Gerrish or Murdoch, fullback; Curtis,
right hslfback.

Philippi Goes to Inhrmary

Hill Goes in at

Ithaca. \. Y, Nov. 10. The Cornell
football squad duplicated yesterdays
work this afternoon, running through
a half hours signal drill in the open
field and then retiring 20 the baseball
cage, where the varsity was sent In
against the scrub. which used Pennsyl-
vania plays.
PhilIppi, who ggured so prominently
i'm breaking through the Wolverines
defence. this morning was sent TO the
inhrmary with an attack Of tonsiitis.
His absence in the lineup was felt, but
Hill. who substituted, played a good,
steady game.
On the scrub team Dr. Sharpe used
Eckley and Lautz. ends; jameson and
Jewett. tackles; McCutcheOn and Til
ley, guards; Brown, centre; Collins,
quarterback; Bebee and Williams, half
backs, and Kleinert. fullback.
Kleinert proved exceedingly trouble
some to the regulars to-day, breaking
through the line for several good gains
and always diagnosing his opponents
plays well. According 10 his recent
showing. he should average fifty yards
against Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving
Day. The coaches refused TO comment
on the showing Of the varsity in
breaking up the Quaker formations.
but there is a general sentiment of
optimism, which was more than evident
when practice stopped, soon after 6
o'clock
The coaches realize that in the game
one week hence the Philadelphia team
has everything TO gain and Cornell
everything to lose. So the Cornell sup.
porters are not overoptimistic, for
Penn has in former years displayed a
comeback which proved serious TO
its opponents. Cornell students have
manifested their interest and enthu-
siasm in the coming game by the 1000
tickets which have been sold at the
athletic Office for the game. The big
gest crowd on record wiz leave for the
Thanksgiving Day game this year.

Brown Eleven Out in Rain.

by lclesfaph 10 Inc lblne.I
Providence, K. l., Nov. l9.-The
Brown coaches drove the squad through
long session of signal practice in
driving rain on Andrews Field this
afternoon. Because of the uniformly
good weather this fall, handling a wet
ball proved a decided novelty to the
members Of the team. There was
plenty of fumbling. Both Clark and
Dursin were used at quarterback to-
day. while Jimmy Murphy looked on
from the side lines. Murphy has water
on the knee, and while he may be able
to play in the Carlisle game, the
coaches are taking no chance by using
him on a slippery field. When Dursin,
who is a promising quarterback, re-
lieved Clark, the latter shifted over TO
halfback.
Captain Mitchell also has a bad knee,
and, like Murphy. he watched the prac-
tice from the side lines.

Higgins played fullback. Clark left
half, Yerger right half and Captain
Tobin quarterback.
This arrangement puts Welty and
James on the bench. Tobin's reap
pearanee with the regulars put new
life into the eleven. and he handled
the team with his oldtime form. APP
