PRINCETON. Oct. 2s.-To.day's prac-
tice at the Princeton stadium was the
most spirited Of the week, despite the
absence OF Shea, Tlbbott and Mclean
from the lineup. II was the last heavy
practice before the Harvard game, a
week from Saturday. Charlie Dicker-

by the faculty yesterday and played
halfback on the varsity this afternoon.

pearance is too late as he will not
be able to get into the physical condi-
ton required by a regular In the big

The coaches are still bent on deveolp-
ing a number OF ends. The style OF
game Princeton plays necessitatee at
least two shifts OF flank men for every
major game. Brown, Highley. Lamber-

occupied the rest of the afternoon.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Oct. 2S.-Harvard's
nal drive of the week was not quite
so vigorous as that of yesterday, but
the varsity and the substitutes went

fifty minutes. There was no scoring. al

the men "A rest and to drill them on

and the ineligible eleven WAS brief and

used the Colgate offence in its attempt
