cheer the eleven. Seats are impossible

game.
The signal drill. of which Shevlin took
personal charge again to-day. went with
a good deal Of regularity and precision.
The new plays. even the more compli-
Gated ones. have been mastered. II Is
believed. and very little remains to be
done in perfecting their execution. All
Of the regulars did not take part In tho
signal drill. for the trainers thought II
best to give orr OF the men a rest.

Baldridge made his first appearance
in the varsity line to-Gay. although he
played on the team durinc some of the
early season games and made q good
showing. He was put out of the game
In the Lehigh contest with n twisted
knee and has not been playing as wei
since. His work to-day. however. was
| good.
The Ineligible eleven was lined W
against the var.lty. while the latter
team ran OFF some OF its plays. II was
My a dummy scrimmage. however. for
the ineligibles were not allowed To
tackle. Shevlin AMI the dozen or 50
other coaches who helped with the work
were well satisfied with the way the
,arsity attack went.
The strenuous part of the afternoons
workout came AT the finish of the prac-
tice. Shsvlin had his assistants line
up the strongest team OF inelig.b'.s they
could muster for II scrimmagc with the
varsity. Harry Lesore. Jim Braden of
the Washington and Jefferson eleven OF
three years ago. Hutchinson OF this
seasons freshman team u Metcalf. a
promising scrub. Were IN the hagkr,'I.
The freshman squad was drawn upon
for Kirkpatrick. Gait. Callahan and
Capt. Comerford. all Of them stars aud
likely candidates for next seasons var
s'tN. Osborne. former AL southern tackle.
and M',irath Were two other stars IN
the ineligible lineup.
The varsity lined up with several sub
s,'tutes, rs follows Left end. Hgg!u-
botham left tackle, G.. sheldon; LETT
guard. Durfce centre, Miller right
guard. Walden; rilht tackle. Taylor ;
risht end. Allen quartcrbac.l. Van No
strand left halfls,ck, Jacques right half

The regulars We're on tho defensive
all OF the time and the ineligible eleven
started with the ball four times uu
the varsity 20 yard A.. Every time II
scored a touchdo~n Ucgorc. Rrtd.u and
Hutchinson gained most of the ground.
Part OF the time the varsity defence
WAS good. but the i~ucligIbl,s outdid
their opponents most Of the way. The
substitutes In the varsity rush line may
have been responsible for part of the
gains. The regulars did not hrVc poe
session Of the bal at any time during
the twenty minutes of play.
The kicking drill to-day was cause for
considerable satisfaction 20 the coaches.
and especially to Dr. Willialu T. Bun
who has charge Of tho ki,k.rs. Ots
Guernsey, who distinguished himself
against Princeton as "A point gotter on
fed goals, made AN excellent showin-.
