N. Y. u. SCRlMMAGES
WITH FORDHAM TEAM

New York University's football team
clashed with Fordham on Ohio Field
Yesterday afternoon. The scrimmage
was a hard one for both elevens, last
ing three-quarters OF an hour. Both
Harry Vaughn, of Fordham,. and Tom
Reilly, of n. Y. IT,, kept right after
their men, and the contest resembled
more a battle for the city football
title, as there was large crowd OF
rooters on hand. than an ordinary
scrimmage.
Although no touchdowns were al
lowed. Yule, Of Fordham, and Erwig, Of
Y. Y. IT,, probably would have regis
tered tallies in real game. Both
teams were decidedly weak on the de
fcnsive. Reilly made several shifts in
the line TO try to remedy this. Somers
and Sokolower worked at right tackle
and centre on the offence. but were
shifted 10 centre and right guard on
the defence. House was changed with
the same end in view from centre TO
right guard.
Vaughn used a number OF substi-
.utes. while Reilly used only one.
Vaughn made shift in the wing posi-
tions, Conklin playing right end while
Corridor worked we'll at left end. Ben
son played in place of Kane at right
guard
This is the first time that Fordham
and y. Y. Z. have met in any sport for
a number of years. y. Y. u. will
scrimmage at Fordham next Wednes-
day.

Union next Saturday. The varsity

ends. and the scrub was unable 20 stop
this form of attack, but the line seemed
unable either to hold the scrub on de-
fence or open up holes on the offence.
All this season the right side OF the
line has been constant source of
worry, and as last resort Rodgers is
irving out Musk at end and Grymes
at tackle. both Of whom are far below
the size of tn men who have been
playing these positions. The team re-
Allies fully that it will have TO play
better football than it has so far shown

Nate Wheeler, one of the assistant
coaches. called on the students to have
faith in the team. Captain wilson
said:
1--WE have had our reverses. Lehigh
had US 8 to 0, and we went back and
trimmed them up, with new men in the
line at that. Against Springfield we
were penalized $50 yards, and you
never heard complaint. That team 5
the greatest fighting team that has
been here in years.
Monday, after the Lehigh game, we
heard from Yale players all over the
country. II was, Can we help AleckT
or Can we help Frank? If we can,
we'll come back Last week we had
more coaches on the field than ever be-
fore. We've had great week of prac-
tice. and to day has been the best OF all.

Ties the Brown Varsity

Providence, R. l.. Oct. 20-With
Jimmy Murphy, Conroy and Jemail, Of
the varsity, in its backfield, the Brown
second team held the regulars TO :
to tie In the practice this afternoon
The scrimmage lasted full an hour and
was hard fought Andrews scored the
touchdown for the first team and Je-
mail, who is looking better every day,
carried the ball across for the second.
The first team used straight foot
ball all afternoon, with Hillhouse and
Andrews showing to advantage. Pol
lard played at end to-day and had no
chance to carry the ball. Purdy did not
get into the scrimmage, but spent the
afternoon practising punting and drop
kicking.
The coaches were favorably i'm
pressed with the work of the men, and
while they are not predicting victory
over the heavy Syracuse team on Satur-
day, they feel confident that the bru-
nonians will make a hard fight.

Lineup at West Point
lBy Telegraph IN tn. Tribune. J


West Point, y. Y, Oct. 2O.-The shift
ing of players on the Army eleven con-
tinued here to-day Goodman was tried
out at tackle in Parker's place, knight
going in at one guard position for
O'Hare and Jones at the other for
Meacham.
Goodman afterward worked at centre
when McEwan retired, and Undertake,
who was of the squad for week on
account Of scholastic difficulties, sig
nalized his return to the game by fill
ing the tackle vacancy. Holmes. Jones
and Murphy were other big fellows who
filled gaps in the regular forward wall
to-day. Meacham rested, as did Coffin
and Ford, of the backfeld.
This trio helped swell the hospital
list with minor injuries. but all three
are expected in the game before
Georgetown comes on Saturday. Ney-
land and Britton were the ends, Oil
phant, Mitchell and Walker the backs,
with Murrill al quarter.
One touchdown came after a splendid
drive from the scrub 40-yard line, the
regular backs displaying a good offence
with plenty of power.

Princeton Squad Works in the

Weeks-Ends Get Most
Attention.
fB, r,l,r,ph % The rnhun. J

Princeton, n. j., Oct. 20.-The num-
Der Of days before the big games is
rapidly narrowing down and each day
the Princeton team shows slight i'm
provement over the day before. While
they still keep hammering away at the
fundamentals OF the game they are
also taking up more complicated plays
and slowly mastering them so that they
can execute them with the same ease
that they display on an end run.
Just at present the ends are coming
in for the lions share Of attention.
They were down at the field before any
Of the other men this afternoon and
were the last 20 leave. Following a
long period Of line coaching the var
sity and scrub scrimmagcd for half an
hour on University Field and then

! first time the stadium has been used
/ in several weeks on account Of the bad
condition OF the turf, but the Dart
mouth game will be played there.
4 The freshmen were no match for
their older brothers and the varsity
had no difficulty in scoring several
times on forward passes and long runs
by Tibbott. Gennert and Highley. The
former was In the same form that won
two Of Princeton's four games so far
this season and made one run Of fifty
or sixty yards through the whole fresh
man team. This run was made pos
sible by the perfect interference Of his

speed.
II is only in rare cases that any in
dividual's play stands out above the
rest OF tho team this year. Princeton's
eleven men are essentially 3 machine.
And yet every man keeps his own in
diyiduslism. To-day Gennert, the CEN

yards for a touchdown. and the whole
