began to be critical of the adminis-

Mexico belonged logically to the Unit

HARVARD IN FIGHTING TRIM.
Eleven Believed to Be Much Better
Than a Week Ago.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November s.
There was a complete letup yesterday
afternoon for the Harvard foot ball play
ers who will start tomorrow's game at
Princeton, the work being only on signals
for the regulars. who, however. spent
a lot of time perfecting their plays, and
also went over the layout of the defenses.
The coaches have worked the team very
hard this week. but all the men are in
first-class trim, and the feeling in Cam
bridge Is that the eleven is many per
scrubs have worked the Tiger plays
against the varsity in frst-class fashion,
and therefore the coaches now figure that
Saturdays battle is likely to be decided
on the results of a kicking game. Both
teams, so the men in charge here believe.
will have to rely on an approach attack.
and then depend On drop kicks for their
scores All this. of course. does not pro-
vide for the fumbles, blocked kicks and
breaks of the game.
The entire undergraduate student body
came down to the field and cheered the
team while it ran through it's final drill.
Later there was some brisk foot ball, the
freshmen beating the substitutes by a
touchdown, and the third varsity team
fighting for twenty minutes against the
! substitute scrubs After this was over
the coaches. Haughton. Leary, Gil Browne,
Reggie Brown, Parmenter, Wigglesworth,
Storer, Logan and Pennock made up the
nucleus of team which ran off lot
| of intricate forward pass plays, but at
the end of the exhibition tried to make
a field goal, but missed the mark by
yards.
Boles will be at right halfback to-
morrow, and Watson is the man slated to
| start at quarterback. The varsity and
second teams will go to New York this
afternoon, the entire squad, with the SOC
| Ger team. numbering more than 100 men.

N STREET HIGH BOYS
GIVEN SEVERE DEFEAT
Storer College Team Smothers the
Locals Under a Score of
20 to O.

NJ Street High School went down to
defeat before a strong team from
Storer College of Harpers Ferry yes
terday afternoon in a drizzling rain at
Vigilant Foot Ball Park. The score,
20 to 0, does not set forth the strength
of the victors, for at least two touch
downs would have been added to their
score had many penalties not saved M
Street. The Storer team was all Diggs
on the offense. This boy would make
any of the leading college teams in
this vicinity. Running with interfer-
ence or plunging through the line
shows him off to advantage. The Howe
brothers. at either tackle, did splendid
work. For NJ Street Diggs. Simms,
Costin and Contee played well.
Touchdowns were made in the first
quarter and not until the last period
did the constant battering have it's eff
feet on the NJ Street eleven. Two
touchdowns were registered in this
period.

SHEVLIN DRIVES YALE.
Old Eli Victor After Grueling Scrim-

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November s.
Tom Shevlin and the board of coaches
which has charge of Yale foot ball have
settled on a tentative lineup for the
varsity eleven, apparently. for yester-
day there was but one change in the
makeup of the first eleven. That was
at right end, where Wiedeman played
all of the time. instead Of alternating
with Buck" Church. as he did Wednes-
day This is the way the men lined up:
Left end, Blodget; left tackle, Gales;
left guard, Kent: center, White; right
guard, j. sheldon; right tackle, Way;
right end, Wiedeman; quarterback. Van
Nostrand; left halfback, Wilson; right

CORNELL OUGHT TO WIN.
But Coach Sharpe Anticipates Hard
Battle With Michigan.

ITHACA. N. Y, November 5.-"This
team is in the best condition of any
team that I have seen since I came
here as foot ball coach. If it plays up
to form it ought to beat Michigan
Saturday, but I expect Michigan to
play a far better game against US than
it did against Syracuse, because this
will be it's big game of the year"
This was the statement made last
night by A. H. Sharpe, head coach OF
the Cornell foot ball team, a few
hours before the squad of twenty-six
men left for Detroit. Dan Reed and
Ray Vanorman. his assistants, echoed
these sentiments. Reed saying that the
team was in great shape and has i'm
proved a good deal since the Harvard
game. while Vanorman asserted that
Cornell was 80 per cent stronger than
the team that played Michigan last
year. All agreed that Cornell was in
for a hard battle and would have to
play up to form all the time to win.

NAVY STILL IRREGULAR.
Plays Actually Wild Against the
Scrubs Toward the Last.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November s.
Against a strong scrub team yesterday
afternoon the Naval Academy team
showed the same irregular work which
has marked it during the season. Early
in the game the team gained well on
forward passes and plays outside of
tackle. and scored two touchdowns.
Later they were played to a stand
still by the scrubs, and every attempt
at forward pass was a complete fall
ure. In fact, the playing was actually
wild toward the last, though a good
many substitutes had been placed in the
lineup.
At the start, the backheld consisted
of Orr. quarterback: Martin and Craig,
halfbacks, and Capt. Miles, fullback.
Later. Davis went in for Miles, and still
later. Vail succeeded Davis. Blodgett
and Kenworthy played the ends, Fisher
taking Kenworthy's place late in the
of some successful forward pass plays,
and did some punting.
AS whole, the work of the team
was very discouraging to its friends.
and no one can explain why a SEEM
ingly powerful squad has produced
am that puts up such a poor game
a this period of the season. Buck
nell, Colby and Ursinus. the three
teams which the midshipmen meet be-
fore the Army eleven. have not played
the kind of foot ball to indicate that
the games will furnish real tests OF the
Navy teams caliber.
