Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9.-Percy
Haughton did not send his first string
ployers into any scrimmage to-day. but
put them through long signal drill
instead. Every man who played
against the Tigers was out on the
field, Mahan and Gilman not being in
playing clothes, however. but watching
the drill from the sidelines.
The team as il ran through its plays
was as it started against Princeton

at left tackle and Whitney was In Ma

backtield tandem. Tomorrow the
varsity will do some hard work. and
this will continue on Thursday and
Friday also for the men the coaches
will take with them TO see the Yale

Harvard Stadium
Ready for Crowd

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9.-The
seating capacity OF the Harvard
Stadium has been more than doubled
10 accommodate the crowd expected
at the Yale-Harvard game on %
vember 20.
The Harvard Athletic Association
announced to-day that forty-seven
thousand seats would be provided.
The stadium itself includes space for
only twenty-five thousand, the ad
ditional room being gained by the
erection of wooden stands at the
open end of the amphitheatre, on
the cinder track adjoining the grid
iron and under the colonnade.
Allotment of tickets set apart for
Harvard men already has been made,
and Yale's half has been sent TO New
Haven. Indications now are that the
demand from Harvard men will ex-
coed the available supply.

climax TO the schoolboy season.
Bonhag, by the way, has not given up
all thought Of appearing once. more on
the cinder track. He still prldes him
self on being an amateur, as his case
is specifically covered by rule Of the
Amateur Athletic Union. Being on the
faculty at Hamilton Institute, this one

paid coach.
Harvard's unusual wheel shift on
some offensive formations proved puz-

lockers and explanations have been
asked. Haughton may be willing to tell
its real purpose, but until then the
only suggestion which can be offered is
that it was used TO confuse and dis

appeared to be evenly balanced both
before and after the shift was made.

Substitute Fullback Punts
Well and Gets Away for
Several Long Gains
Against Scrub.
IRy TELEGRAPH 10 The Tribune

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 9.-Secret prac-
tice for the Princeton team lasted the
whole afternoon. Signal drill and COW
ering of punts by the ends preceded
hard hours scrimmage. The varsity
team as whole was not or the field
at one and the same time day. and
some of the second string men played
so we'll that there is more than pos
sibility that there will be shifts in the
backfield as well as in the line before
the eleven meets Yale.
Gennert and Hogg were the only
men absent from the first string squad,
although Drugs dd not report until
late in the afternoon. Law took
Driges's position at fuliback, and his
PLAYING was one of the features OF the
day. lie was up to his usual standard
in punting AMI was able to get away
for several long gains against the sec
ond eleven and the scrub.
Moore and Dickerman also were IN
the backfield at different times, and the
playing of Dickerman in particular
was of high order. lie showed more
power and drive in his line plunges
than any man on the field. IL Will be
remembered that these three men

tufed the substitute backfleld that tore
up the Yale defence in the last period
of last years game and almost won inc
day for Princeton. Speedy Rush mas
his eye on the trio, and he lntimated
to-day that one or more OF them might
start in the Yale game on Saturday.
On the whole, the scrimmage to-day
was the most satisfactory one IN some
time. The varsity had no trouble m
pushing the scrub up and down me

Haas is the surcst handler OF the ball

The problem OF the tackles IS stiIi
undecided. With two first class men
who are not in good condition ana TWO
substitutes who played star games
against Harvard, it will be MP and

and Larsen for the rest of the week.
The good playing OF Highley and

Brown Aims to Have
Capable Substitutes

Providence. r. l., Nov. 3. The Brown
football squad had a long workout
this afternoon. although it was not P
particularly hard one. The PORT dwelt
on BY the coaches was the developing
of capable substitutes. Despite the
fact that Harvard has made it known
that il intends 20 use substitutes
against Brown, the coaches here are
going RICH ahead rounding out the best
team that they can possibly get to-
gether.
The second eleven remained almost
intact all during the practice. and
used Harvard formations against the
varsity. which was not allowed 20 play
hard by the coaches, and consequently
there was no scoring. Men changed
places frequently on the first strIr/
team. the coaches taking pains TO see
that every man knew just what would
be expected Of him in Saturdays

mage Prescribed by Sanford.
by TelesraOh 10 The Tribune. !

New Brunswick. n. j.. Nov. 9.-Thirty
minutes of hard scrimmage between the
varsity and the scrub marked the Rut-
gers football practice this afternoon.
George Foster Sanford has devised sew
eral new plays 10 be sprung against the
all-stars at the Polo Grounds on Satur-
day afternoon. and considerable time
was spent in drilling the varsity in the
new formations, the majority of which
worked well.
Frank Kelley, the scholastic star from
Stamford, Conn, showed up we'll in the
back field. He has been unable to play
for the last five weeks because Of a
spraiEed ankle, but the injury has en-
tirely healed. and he will in all proba-
bility start the game in New York. Witt
penn, varsity halfback, is not in the
best Of condition, and may be kept out
of Saturdays fray.

short scrimmage. Practice was CON

Hartford, Nov. 9.-Will Columbia

TINE WAR AND q

There is a peculiar timeliness
in The North American Review
article for March, THE War and

Julius Mortizen draws the con-
clusion that the world is best

Norway maintaining absolute neu-
trality as long as the war lasts.
Writing about the Malmo con-
ference as a result of conditions
abroad, Mr.. Moritzen says: "Call

standing, entente, alliance the
effect Of the Malmo conference
between the rulers of Denmark,
Norway and Sweden must be that

mel become zones Of conflict, the

ONE OF the MYSTERIES OF
the WAR

(from the New York WOrld)
| Deepest of all mysterious oc-
currences that have marked the
progress Of the world war, the
case of the German cruiser
trassburg, which has never been
heard of since the start of hos
tllltles. stands without a parallel.
:: 1t was more than year ago that
the Strassburg, a light, fast cruis-
er of the same type as the karls-
ruhe and year older than that
vessel, went to South Atlantic va
tiers, in command of Rear Admir-
al Rebeur Paschwitz.
The admiral and his officers
/: were entertained at Buenos Aires
ON March 6, 1914. Later the YES
! sci went to Montevideo, then
steamed to West Indian waters,
where she was during part of the
Mexican trouble.
Just previous to the declaration
of war the Strassburg entered the
port of st. Thomas. Danish West
Indies, and began to coal. On
August 2 she was known to be
still in that port. But from that
time to this not word has been
heard of her. Her consorts at that
time were the karlsruhe and the
Dresden, the latter of which has
just been accounted for.
/ 1t is believed now that the case
of the Strassburg is one Of those
mysteries of the sea that may new
er be solved until the day when
1.-The sea gives up its dead" If the
cruiser had been sunk by British
vessels the fact surely would have
been made known, for it has not
been the policy of the British adj
miralty to conceal any of the sue
cesses it has gained on the water.
What has happened to the
Strassburg? Did she flee before
stronger force until, far from the
paths Of ocean traffic, she shook
off pursuit, only to find her bunk
ers empty and drift a helpless
hulk until overwhelmed by a
storm? One objection to this the
DRY is that she was equipped with
wireless and could call for help,
but use of her wireless would
bring down swift pursuit from the
British and French vessels. Or is
she safe in some sheltered nook
on the South American coast, held
in reserve in the mysterious hav-
en- that the war vessels of the
kaiser must have somewhere
along the South Atlantic until
such time as her commander
thinks the time is ripe for a dash
to the open sea?
Another theory, that at the start
of war the Strassburg made her
way across the Atlantic to a home
port, is discounted by the fact
that her mission was that of COM
merce destroyer, and there is no
reason to believe that she alone
