because most of the injuries to play
ers this season have been met with
during practice. The coaches yes
terday ordered the stars to stay on
the sidelines during the scrimmage.
Hardwick was shifted back to his
old position at end, breaking up the
backfield combinations because of
Eoucy's injuries. F'ranclxe, who
shone brilliantly Saturday will be
in the backfield against Michigan
The first string men had only a
shadow practice yesterday at Cam
bridge.
Good Alibi for Captain of Dartmouth.
Captain Whitney. of the Dartmouth
team, failed to cover himself with
glory in the recent battle at Prince
ton. Whitney has not been in shape
and consequently has done very little
practicing since October 3. The fact
was kept secret, but when things
were breaking badly last Saturday,
Whitney was used and he appeared
to be a bit cratic. 1.-THE fact that
Princeton was not scored on twice
in that last period seems to be
miracle" says an exchange, for the
teams played several minutes over
the allotted time limit. This may have
been due to time out, but even SO
the period dragged on indefinitely"

Parson Find. Says Harvard.
Parson, of Harvard, who replaced
r.. Curtis at tackle against Penn
State, is very likely to remain there,
He has come very fast within a
week and the old players coaching
the rush line regard him as the find"
of the year. He is very aggressive
and is considerably ahead of any of
his competitors. The loss of Soucy--
and this may prove permanent--has
upset the rush line calculations some
what He was one of the eleven
players whom Haughton had decided
must play somewhere on the team.
He did not shine at end against Penn
State, but was natural player and
1t is believed that he would have re-
sponded to coaching very quickly.
Weatherhead now goes back to the
right flank, where he will find c.
Coolidge a real competitor, IL the
backf1eld comes through according to
latest plans.
Red and Blue Duly Impressed.

Two Big Games for Cornell.
Cornell has two more important
games. with Michigan on November
IA, and Pennsylvania, on Thanksgiv-
them both, especially to beat Penn
sylvania. And unless this Pennsyl-
vania team finds itself pretty soon,
or Cornell slumps off at the end of
the season, the Ithacans will stand a
good chance OF breaking all records
by winning two successive years
from Pennsylvania.

nj. Hna
Yale's allotment of tickets for the
Princeton game at the new Palmer
Stadium has been completely ex-
hausted. The ten thousand paste
boards were snapped up so quickly
that a call for more reservations was
sent to Princeton, but was turned
down because the subscriptions for
seats have been heavy there too and
the new bowl will accommodate no
more than 1900. For the Yale-Har-
ward game $4,000 tickets have already
been disposed Of The New Haven
plant will accommodate $1,000

Another Captain is Injured.
The jinx which has followed foot
ball captains has reached Penn State.
Captain l.. v. Tobin, OF the keystone
team, was severely injured Monday
at a celebration during which five
barrels of gasoline used In making
a bonfire exploded. 1t Is feared that
he may lose his eyesight G. ]. Sauer-
hoff, of Haddon Heights, N. j., and
president of the sophomore class. was
thrown to the ground also and badly
hurt. The players and students had
gathered large pile Of kindling wood
and poured the gasoline over the
wood. Tobin standing twenty-five
feet away from the pile threw a
lighted torch ana the explosion was
instantaneous.
MeKReIl Used Poor Judgment.
On the subject of quarterbacks, Ted
Merrell didn't measure up to all the
Quaker coaches expected of him in
the game with the Indians. His indi-
viduai playing was not subject to crit
icism so much as his generalship. He
didn't vary his attack as he did
against the Navy. nor was he able to
inject Rs much ginger into the players
as he usually does. Merrell needs to
learn to do what the Princeton
coaches are trying to teach their
