keenest interest and excitement Will
be staged tonight at st. Michaers

Rutgers on for Syracuse.

The Rutgers football team left yes
terday morning for Syracuse, where
the New Brunswick eleven will meet
one of the strongest teams in the
country. Coach Foster Sanford has
been working the men hard this week,
in preparation for the big game, and
hopes to give the conquerors of Mich
igan a hard fight. After the Tufts
game the regulars were given a two
days rest, in order to give several
minor injuries a chance to heal. On
Tuesday a two-hour scrimmage with
the scrubs resulted in a severe knee
wrench for Mike" Whiepenn, the
Newark boy, who is something Of a
sensation at halfback Garrett, the
big Indian from Peddie, was also in
jured, but it is hoped that both these
men will be in shape by Saturday.
Six of the Rutgers regulars, accom-
panied by Coach Sanford, attended
the Syracuse Carlisle game last Sat-
urday and got a good line on the Of
Tense of the New York eleven. This
! week the scrubs have been using the
Syracuse formations, and IL is be-
lieved that a successful defense has
been developed. About twenty-four
men composed the Rutgers squad
which left yesterday. The probable
lineup for the game is: Rockefeller.
left end; Toohey, left tackle; living,
left guard; Miller. centre; McCloskey,
right guard; Nash, right tackle; Sell

PRINCETON HAS NO
KICK ON BRICKLEY
Will Not Make Protest, as Yale
Did Against Playing of
Hart.

Princeton will enter no protest
against the possible use of Captain
Briekley in the Harvard contest to-
morrow, but will go on the assump-
ton that his own physicians are best
acquainted with his condition.
When questioned about the atti-
tude of the Tigers if Brickley should
be sent in for a drop kick, Wilder
Penfield, the head field coach, said:
I'VE will make no protest if he has
his physicians consent to play" On
being reminded of Yale's protest in
1911 against Eddie Harris playing un-
til he had a SPECIALISTS consent, Pen
field said "Hart's Injury was of a
more serious nature. Brickley s
wound is a clean one and would in
capacitate him only to the extent of
taking longer to heal in case he is
hurt. There is a rule anyway that
prohibits roughing up a kicker, and
l don't believe Brickley will possibly
be used for anything else against
u.s."

that WALLACE, who was injured in

promising candidate for centre. The
probable lineup for Harvard is as
follows: T. Coolidge left end; Par
son, left tackle; Weston, left guard;
Bigelow, centre; Pennock, right
guard; Trumbull, right tackle; Hard

Mahan, left halfback; Bradlee, right

Michigan Meets Penn.

The big intersectional game will be
between Pennsylvania and Michigan
at Ann Arhor tomorrow. Neither team
had been playing up to its usual
standard until last Saturday, and nc
matter what the result of the Har.
ward Michigan game. the Quakers and
Wolverines will meet on even terms
The Pennsylvania eleven seems tC
have been getting slightly better since
the opening of the season, while
Michigan has played an in-and-out
game.
The most disappointing thing abou'
the Pennsylvania eleven this year /!
it's poor scoring record. Not count
ing the Swarthmore game, Pennsyl
vania has scored only thirty-foul
points in five games, an average o
less than seven per game. At TIL
same time the Quakers had sixteeI
points scored against them.

slow to Develop.

At the same time 1t should be-
stated that this years Quaker eleven
has been developed along radically
different lines from any of its prede'
cessors. Right now there are only
two members of last years team in
the lineup, They are Captain Jour-
neay, at centre, and Harris, at tackle
All the others are green men, and 1t is
not to be expected that they would
show much of an offense early in the
season. The coaches don't know what
they will do with their championship
games, which begin with the Michi-
gan game, but they hope for some i'm
provement. A further study of Penn
sylvanla's game this year reveals the
fact that the team has not scored
touchdown by straight rushing since
the first game in the season against
Gettysburg. After making two touch.
downs against Gettysburg the
Quakers couldn't score in any way
against Franklin and Marshall AND
Lafayette. They secured touchdown
from the Navy, but 1t was the result
of an eighty yard run from an inter
cepted forward pass. Against the In
dams they couldn't rush the ball with
any success, and only scored by
means of the forward pass. The
Quakers can't expect to win from
Michigan or any other team until they
develop scoring plays.
Michigan has suffered more from
injuries this year than ever before
Injuries came pretty near explaining
the Syracuse victory last week. The
wolverines didn't use good judgment
and after Splawn was hurt they
couldn't even play a decent kicking
game. Syracuse has a very powerful
team this year, as the New Workers.
game against Princeton proved, but
Mich gan was away off form and
badly crippled for this contest.

Practice Drop Kickin g.

An unexpected change was made
in the schedule planned at Prince
ton yesterday. Instead of sending
the backfield men away at noon they
did not depart until nightfall for
Cambridge. During the day Tibbott,
Law and Derman were given spe-
cial instructions and rehearsals in
drop kicking. The point is obvious.
Harvard has been doing the same
thing. Both realize the other will
put up a strong defensive game and
the value of three points gained ~
kicking was never more clearly Illus
trated than in last years game. AS
a parting shot. the Tiger players
were given a special time to tackle
the dummy and they made the most
of the opportunity.
