the team. However, he is the best avail
able. Berry's refusal to accompany the
team seems to AVE been because OF
extremely nervous temperament. He
declared to-day that he will come out
next week to play or the scrub team and
try to win back his former position.
but 1t Is doubtful whether the coaches
will allow him to.
HANOVER. n. H.. Nov. 4.-The Dart
mouth football team had u light prac-
lice to-day and a short meeting to-nlght
In the alumni gymnasium. when the
Fenn plays were gone over thoroughly.
The practice. which was the last before
n shor drill tomorrow In Boston. did
not show any changes In the lineup.
Coach Cavanaugh. when asked what
he thought Of the reports that three of
Penn's men were declared ineligible.
said: Dartmouth will not be misled
by the sudden collapse Of the Penn team.
This Is an old trick and has been
worked before. We all know that Penn
has "A fine team with great material.
While admitting that Stack. WEIGH and
Grant are Ineligible, the fact Is that they
nave not been up to the standard of
Penn's first team and the men have
not taken an important part In any re-
cent games. So far as the strength of
Penn. we are taking no chances. The
My thing that has happened IL the
~relegating OF Penn's captain to the Sec
ond team. We are at a loss TO see how
Penn's team has been weakened II there
Is "A better man for the position"
The squad. consisting Of thirty men.

the students will follow on a special
train.

last scriinmage before the Yale game
did not end this evening till darkness
settled down over Andrews Field. All
OF the regular varsity men were In the
lineup with the exception OF Brace. Max
well and Pollard. Maxwell. however,
was out in his togS for the first time
this week and undoubtedly will play
Sa turday.
Pollard la an afternoons rest. He
twisted his ankle In scrimmaRe yester-
day and IL was thought best not TO take
chances with him in the hard work of
the afternoon.
Most OF the time to-day was devoted
10 offensive work for the varsity, the
scrubs taking the hall only a few times
and then to use plays that Il Is thought
possible Yale may use Saturday. The
new plays all seem to be working
smoothly and Coach Robinson expressed
: himself as more han pleased at the way

Brown feels more confident than ever,
for there is no question but that the
eleven which IL going to the New Haven
bowl Is considerably stronger than the
team that played Yale last year to a
7-l2 score. Brown will be represented
on Saturday by the largest number Of
undergraduates that ever went 10 New
Haven.

ton the coaches and Capt. Barrett
made short optimistic speeches.
The lthacans are expected to open
up with the Forward pass Saturday as
we'll as employ the straight running
game. which they lave developed so sue
cessfully, and they plan TO make good
use OF the great punting OF Shiverick
and Barrett. on account of the fact
that the men had to prepare for their
I trip and the unfavorable weather con-
ditIons, a rainy mist blanketing the field
early In the day, tho practice this after
noon was brief. There was no scrlm-
mage. The varsity ran through signals
for half an hour. COINS through the
repertoire OF plays. and all Of the lead
ing. substitutes were put In for a short
time.
AMHERST. Mass, Nov. 1.-THE Am
herst team will be further weakened by
the loss OF Goodrich. her star left half
back, In the Springfield game Saturday.
He was injured in the Dartmouth game
last Saturday but II was thought only
slightly, 1t now develops that he may
be out for the rest of the season. This.
with the loss of Taber and Tow's injury,
which will keep him out saturday. leaves
only Rider OF this crack backfeld, which
was the backbone of the team to line
up against Springfield. For fear OF in
Turing more usn. Coach Reilly would
permit the players to engage in only
dummy scrimmags to-day. Ashley spent
the afternoon punting and his kicks
averaged about nfty-fve yards. a de-
fence that Reilly thinks will stop Spring
