j. Wallace. last years varsity centre
rush, had been declared eligible to play
this fall Wallace came TO Cambridge
from the University of Southern Cali
forna three years ago, and while on
the Coast played soccer football Cor his
college.
The Harvard A. A. contends that
playing soccer. which is considered
minor sport. should not make Wallace
ineligible 20 play three years of Rug

Harvard rules, Wallace was eligible.

Princeton.
The Tigers several days ago sent
word that Wallace was regarded as
eligible TO play against them, and to-
night word to the same effect was re-
ceived from those in authority at New
Haven. Wallace has been keeping in
trim all fall, and is ready 70 get into
the Harvard lineup at any time. Just
where he will be used, however. prob
ably will not be decided until after the

Annapolis. Oct. 2l.-Von Heimberg
showed marked improvement in his
punting this afternoon. a large part OF
the practice at the Naval Academy con-
sisting of sending the linemen down
under kicks.
The regulars faced the scrub for a
quarter of an hour, and Won Heimberg
punted time after time. Not only did
his kicks cover good distances regu-
larly. but he sent the ball so high that
the linemen had plenty Of time TO get
down the field and were generally able

ball.

FINAL WORK FOR
COLUMBIA TEAM
Long Practice in Kicking
Formations Last Drill
Before Game.

Nelson Metcalfe gave his Columbia
charges a light workout yesterday,
long practice in kicking formations be-
inc the final preparation for the open
ing game of the season with st. Law
renee University on South Field to-
morrow. When the Blue and White
team trots out on the gridiron, it will
mark a new era in Columbia football
history. celebrating the return Of the
pigskin after an absence Of q decade >.
years
It was in 1905 that the Columbia fac
ulty abolished the sport and almost
precipitated a crisis in the football
world. when the other big colleges OF
the East threatened 10 follow the lead
Of Columbia. Football followers the
country over will turn all eyes on Co.
lumbias doings with great interest.
No scrimmaging marked yesterdays
workout. Metcalfe fearing to risk in
iuries with the opening contest so close
az hand. Kicking practice took up the
largest part Of the time, Mansbach do
ing the bulk of the punting alternating
with Littauer. Mansbach showed well
and got off a number of long punts in
good form. He will no depended upon
to uphold the Columbia end in any
kicking duel, as Captain Simonds will
be unable TO get into the game before
next week. The swollen gland IN his
leg threatens 10 turn into blood poison
ing, and as consequence he has not
been in uniform for more than week
past.
The chances Of the Blue and White
in to-morrows game have been the
ground for considerable discussion. The
Columbia team has been built entirely
from green material, Calder being the
only man who has played on college
team, and, previous TO this fall, he had
been away from the sport for two years.
However. Metcalfe has picked out
first eleven, every man of which has
made q prep, school team, and he has
drilled them into a splendid fighting
machine. making up in aggressiveness
what 10 lacks in experience and knOwl-
edge A second team of more than av-
erage substitutes forms a strong re-
serve force The offence has been com
mented upon by 2 number Of critics
as very powerful. using line smashing
plays and forward passes with equal
effect
Open fast play will be strictly ad-
hered to. as Metcalfe is n strong ex-
ponent Of the modern game. The de-
fence rs more OF a problem as Is al
ways the case with a green team. The
line holds well. but lack Of knowledge
OF play prevents them breaking up
many Of their opponents plays.

Harvard Is Driven Hard

the Cornell football team, as the tran
carving the squad Of twenty-siX men
pulled away from the Ithaca station 10

One of the largest and most enthu-
sias.ic crowds of students in history
escorted the team 70 the train and then
amid cheers called for speeches from
the coaches. When Dan Reed. the big
line coach. was called upon he SAID:

Captain Barrett, speaking for the
team. said: Every man on the squad
will do his best. and | hope that we

All the coaches expressed the opinion
that. win or lose, Harvard would know
that il had been through a battle. and
that what had been expected 70 be

would turn out to be one OF the hardest
fights for Harvard this year. TINS
same sort of optimism ran through the
whole undergraduate body that as
sembled al the station.
Only a light workout. consisting OF
a signal drill. constituted the final prep

New York Universty's football elev-
en- went through its final scrimmage on
Ohio Field yesterday afternoon in prep
aration for the contest with Haverford
tomorrow. Although y. Y. L. has had
scrimmages with Columbia and Ford
ham this week Reilly and Gorsch gave
their men another hard workout.
Cam, Erwig. Bernstein, Manley, Egan
and Somers were in the scrimmage
yesterday for only a half hour, as
Reilly wishes them 20 start fresh
against Haverford. This gave the sec
ond string backfield a chance. Nagel
at fullback showed up well, while Fraim
scored a touchdown.
In the scrimmage a large variety of
plays was tried against the scrub, the
first team making consistent gains
through crossbucks, delayed passes and
straight line plunges. Sokolower, Will
Jams and House showed marked i'm
provement in boxing their men and
opening up holes for the backfeld.

for Cambridge.

Cambridge Mass. Oct. 81. Although
to-days scrlmmage was a real drive
from start 20 finish. several Of the reg
ular Harvard varsity men did no: take
part Ned Mahan entered the fray only
20 score 5O-yard field goal by drop
kick. and Harte and SOucy were missing
from the end positions.
The wings to-day were l.. Curtis and
W eathcrheFd. two substitutes, Duncan
working IN Cowan's place at right guard
and Rollins being in the backfcld with
King and Whitney.
The coaches now hardly hope that
Enwrlght or Horween viii be able 20
play against Cornell. and this means
that Harvard, as in the game with Vir-
ginia, will be lacking weight for its
backheld offence against the Ithacans.
The days work was by far the hardest
OF the week. The regulars. with the
generous sprlnkling OF substitutes,
were able 20 drive the scrub back
across its own goal line, Wiggin finally
scoring.
In addition there was Mahan's So
yard field goal and another drop kick
score which Robinson made from the
4O-yard line. Robinson, who has been
al balfback all fall, was used at quar-
terback to-day. this being position he
played for q time as freshman last
year Wilcox is all right. but Gardner
viii not do. and as Watson is in poor
physical condition the coaches feel that
they need an extra man.
David c. Campbell, who captained
Haryard's great team fourteen years
ago, an eleven which beat Yale by a
score OF II 10 o. was on the field TO-
day and helped coach the end rushers.
Soucy was hurt in the Virginia game
and HRrte has showed lack Of speed.
This makes the end situation a ticklish
one. and particularly for the Princeton
and Yale games.
Both Harte and Soucy will be back
tomorrow and. with Cowan in his reg
glar place. Harvard will line up against
Cornell almost as II did against Viz
GINA Il week ago. Parson worked for
time az tackle to-day. but is not yet
ready 10 start an important game.

Rush took no chances on getting any
OF his first string men injured to-day
and the practice was the easiest IN two
weeks. There was no scrimmage Tor

work on the old field. while another
hour was devoted 10 running through

The move TO the stadium was the
occasion for a lot Of work IN NchlnE'
Law and briggs took one end OF the
big arena for punting, and Ames. Shea,
Tibbott and Law all practised drop
kicks from various angles. Shea made
one good kick ut a difficult angle from
the 35-vord line or the other men
Law seemed 20 be the most accurate.
The nearest the varsity came 70

ice with the second team no the
stadium. and while the first eleven
used simple line plays most Of the time
the open game was resorted TO occ|
sionalv. After that the scrub went
against the varsity and defence for all
the known Dartmouth plays was prac-
tised, but even then there was no
tackling.
The most important development TO-
dav was the announcement that Halsey
would start at right tackle against
Dartmouth instead Of Kaufman, who
has been in every game so far THIS
year. Halsey played on the freshman
eleven last year and was one of the
most consistent players on the team
but be il a big, heavy fellow and has
been o long time rounding into form

two weeks ago Since he was placed

Cornish and Bill Marting have bol-
stored up the weak spots since the EX-
eter defeat u week ago
The scrmmage to-day lasted near
~ twenty minutes. During the first
half of the play the varsity seemed
lifeless. Its attack was ineffective
and the freshmen took the ball on
downs. A forward pass, Neville's con-
sistent gains and ifteen-yard ad-
vance on a side-line play which caught
the centre Of the varsity line slum-
bering gave the cubs the ball on the
'varsity's 2-yard line. In four downs
the youngsters took il over, Winters
making the score.

apathy long enough TO display some
ground-gaining ability. They showed

The defeat by the freshmen to-day

tive of what may be expected in the
game with Washington and Jefferson.
Coaches and players were inclined TO
regard the matter in a humorous light.
Comerford and Wallis Winters did
some excellent playing for the Yale

Hanover n. H.. Oct. 2l.-The Dart
mouth varsity team INDUCED in its
last home practice before the Princeton
game this afternoon. A short, snappy
signal drill. in which all the players
making the trip participated, was the
chief feature Of the workout, with en-
phasis laid on the new plays mapped
out for the Princeton game. Gerrish
spent considerable time with his punt
ing, with the ends going down and the
ouarterbacks running them back.
That the end situation is puzzle is
shown by the fact that seven ends
made the trip. After the drill the
SQUAD heard short talk by Frank
Cavanaugh. the coach, and boarded the
buses which took them to White
River Junction. where they caught the
6 o'clock train for New York. Upon
its arrival in the metropolis the squad
will stop at the Hotel Cumberland.
In Hanover the feeling is that this
game will be the hardest Of the year,
and the student body realizes that the
Green Is not so we'll prepared for It's
most difficult contest as IN former
years.
The men making the trip are: Ends
-Dusossoit, Emery, Hagar. Burns, Sou
tar. Gibson and McDonough; tackles

Guards Spears. Merrill. Colby and
Scully: centres Baxter, Gle and
