hIDDLEBROOK TAKES
ALL THE BLAME
Feels Almost Personally Re
sponsible for Loss of Yale Men.

New Haven, Oct. 25.-Louis S. Mid
dIebrook. CAPTAIN of the Yale rs nine
in a statement made public here to-day
saws he feels almost personally re-
sponsible" for the debarring of Captain
Arthur NJ. Milburn and four other base
ball players from intercollegiate ath-
letics for violation of the summer base
ball rule. He says he understood tn
conditions under which the men were
playing at Quogue, Long Island, where
the infraction occurred, but did not
know they constituted a violation of
the Yale rule.
II was not until Professor Robert n.
Corwin, chairman of the Yale athletic
committee, had written him during tn,
summer, says Mr.. Middlebrook, asking
him if the no-board rule was being
kept, that he looked up the rule. He
then placed the matter in the hands
% George B. Case, or New York. the
graduate baseball adviser, and subse-
quently the athletic committee took ac-
ton. Mr.. Middlebrook says:
"As Yale baseball captain, wish TO
say | should have known the rules and
been in a position to advise the play
ers against breaking, them. wish TO
relieve publicly all the players and the
members of the athletic committee
from a responsibility that | feel ought
to be on my own shoulders"
Bernard Tommers, Yale, IL s., assistant
coach of the baseball team, also issued
statement, in which he says he ad-
vised the men 10 play, not knowing that
the conditions under which they were
10 play would be a violation of the rule
lie adds:
IL should have known that this was
against the eligibility rules. and as
their coach should have advised he
FIVE players. Under the circumstances
their action in Withdrawing from Yale
athletics under the Yale rule was the
unfortunate result Of my own negli-
gence."
Professor Corwin declined TO com
ment on the statements, or to say
whether they would have any effect on
the status Of the debarred players.

Philadelphia. Oct. 25.-To play

not know anything about it until
nearly forty-eight hours later is the
unusual experience Of Graves Will
Jams, the University Of Pennsylvania
fullback, who scored the Quaker's
seven points against Pittsburgh on
Saturday.
Not until noon to-day did Williams
know what he did in the Pittsburgh
game. He was hit on the head in the
first two minutes Of play and was so
confused that Captain Harris sent him
from the lineup. Early in the second
hall Williams seemed TO have recov-
cred and returned to the game. lie
PLAYED to the finish without saying u
word and scored the teams only touch
down.
Until to-day at noon Williams in
sists that he did not even know he
was in the game after the first two
minutes and had no recollection oil
having scored the touchdown. He was
much surprised on learning about II
from his fellow players.
The Quaker coaches lost no time in
examining Williams to-day, but he was
found to be all right, and took part
in the practice this afternoon. DR..
Hancock, the team physician. said that
men were frequently dazed in this
manner
The veterans had an afternoon of
from hard work to-day. Dickson, the
field coach, ordered every man who
participated in the Pittsburg game to
rest. The majority Of them took par
in the preliminary drill, but the scrim-
mag was confined to the substitutes
the scrub and the freshmen.
Harry Ross was the only man badly
bruised in the Pittsburgh game. He
walked with difficulty on his injured
ankle. while one eye was completely
closed. The coaches intend to keep
him out Of practice for several days

Ithaca. y. Y. Oct. 25.-Cornell's foot
ba hopes run high again to-day as the
result Of the announcement this after
noon that Captain Charley Barrett will
be able to get in the game again. The
injury he sustained in the Harvard

Cambridge. Mass. Oct 25.-The Har-
ward football squad gathered in the
locker building this afternoon and the
men who took part in the Cornell game
listened to a few interesting truth
about the Crimson's play on Saturday
Percy Haughton kept his players be-
fore the blackboard until late, and then
took them to the baseball cage for
drill. Most Of the regulars were tired
and bruised after Saturdays efforts.
but Cowan, Dadmun, Whitney, Taylor
and Watson all took part in the prac-
ticc.
Mahan was lame Parson and Wal
lace reported in street clothes and will
be ready for the weeks hard work.
King has a bad muscle bruise, but it
will not keep him on the side-line ;
long. Gilman, who twisted his ankle
again on Saturday, was able 70 come
down to the field, although he did not
get into his football clothes. His ankle
is not so badly hurt as at first was
thought, and while he will be able to ID
a little work this week the coaches
will not use him against Pennsylvania
State.
Weatherhead, Coolidge and L. Curtis
were at end this afternoon, with K.
Curtis and Gamer at tackle. Watson
ran things for time from quarter, bu.
most OF this work was done by Robin

Bill Moore Creates Favor
able Impression on Tiger
Coaches by Showing in
Game with Dartmouth.
rBy Telegraph to tn. Tribune J

Princeton, y. j., Oct. 25.-Practice
for the Princeton football team to-day
was Of light nature, but preparations
for the Harvard game were started. The
old field was used for the first part OF
the drill, and for about an hour ;hc
regulars were kept busy on some new
open forward pass formations. High
lev. Mclean, Nourse and Kaufman were
excused from scrimmage, and Halsey
did not report until late in the after
noon.
Bill Moore, who played for the first
time at end on Saturday, created IA
vorable impression among the coaches,
and he will probably remain in that
position. To-day he was taken over By
Ham Andrews for some individual in
struction, and he should be a powerful,
factor in Princeton's open game. Hi'
ability to catch passes and his speei
make him dangerous on the receiving
end of long forward pass.
When the squad moved down to the
stadium late in the afternoon Rush de-
serted the varsity and devoted his
whole time TO the scrimmage between
the second team and the scrub. Lam
berton and Thomas returned to the
game to-day, and, together with Buzz"
Law, they furnished the high lights of
the afternoon.
Lamberton made long gains through
the line. and Thomas, playing at hall
back for the first time, did remarkably
well. He has been a substitute end all
the year, and while il is too late in the
season to develop him into a regular
backfeld man, he may make a good
substitute for the final games.
The team lined up as follows: VII
son, left end;, Parisette, left tackle;
Love, left guard; Gennert, centre;
Hogg. right guard; Latrobe, right
tackle; Brown, right end; Click, quar-
terback; Shea, left halfback; Tibbo..,

New Brunswick, n. j., Oct. 25.-
George Foster Sanford worked the big
Rutgers team AZ full speed this after
noon in preparation for the game with
Springfield at Newark on Saturday. A
forty-minute scrimmage with the scrub
resulted in four touchdowns for the
first string men.
The second team was strengthened
by the addition Of Toohey and living,
last years regulars, but was unable to
withstand the tushes of the varsity
backs. Bracher was not on the field,
nor was Captain Talman. Wittpenn,
Garrett, Elliott and Scarr constituted
the backfeld Elliott and Wittpenn
tore big holes in the scrubs line and
made several loag runs.
