ARMY SCORES TOUCHDOWN.
Soldiers Given Tough Forty Five
Minute Scrimmage.

WEST POINT, N. Y, November 1s.-
The Army eleven had an active practice
yesterday afternoon. during which the
varsity men were scrimmaged for 40
minutes against the scrubs. One touch
down was scored by the big team.
Much of the time was devoted to prac-
ticing the defense, and the ltnemen got
special attention from the coaches
OHare displaced Knight at guard, and
Jones was in at tackle. where Parker
has been used much of late. McEwan
worked through the entire drill at CEN
ter. Ford and Mack at halfbacks for
the first time since the Notre Dame
contest.
Neyland is still idle, and the ends
were Tully and Brittou. Unless Ney-
lands leg injury improves the cadets
lineup against the Navy will proba bly,
see Tuily at this flank position. Coffin
at fullback. with Oliphant at the half,
made up the varsity backfield yester-
day. Coffin seems settled upon as full
back. He has not been used as pilot
since the sudden shift Of Monday. His
kicking was all that could be desired,
some Of his hefts averaging over fifty
yards. Against the wind he had plenty
of carry and good height. Murrili and
Gerhardt bothlcaught punts well today.

YALE PRONOUNCED FIT.
Powerful Scrub Team, With Legore.
Unable to Extend Varsity.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November 1s.-
Yale's final foot ball practice of the
season was held yesterday afternoon,
the coaches = driving the regulars
against the stiffest kind of an opposing
eleven which could be organized from
the freshmen. tnefigIbles and scrubs.
The scrimmaging. although of the
dummy character. was strenuous. 1t
was designed to illustrate Yale's
strongest attacking plays. and. on the
de fense, the best method of checking
the Harvard formations, but it develop
ed into the finest example Of defensive
work the, varsity has shown this sea-
son.
With Harry Legere carrying the ball
for the scrubs on plays in which Capt
Mahan of Harvard figures. the powerful
second team was unable to gain ground,
and the coaches praised the regulars
for their improved defense against the
Harvard attack.
Following the scrimmaging, Otis

cial defense has been built for. him.

Tom Shevlin. who. was summoned to
take charge of the squad three weeks
ago. Bigelow. Fitzpatrick and Howard
Jones were in uniform. No attempt
was made to score touchdowns during
the practice. Last night the team was
given a beefsteak dinner and vaude-
vile entertainment by Maj. Louis Stod-
dard at his Prospect Hill residence.
Parker Allen was given right end yes
terday permanently. His selection in
place of Jim Higginbotham is the only
change in the lins-tp from the Prince

by the injury to Carl Wiedeman. To-
day the eleven will leave this city for

The University of South Carolina will
prove much greater stumbling biock
for the Georgetown eleven than dlo
the North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College last week. The Pal
metto team comes here with splen-
did reputation, a record of having gone
through the season 50 far with only
one defeat-that by Virginia. when
four star players were declared ineli-
gible because of the one-year rule.
That South Carolina is strong is
shown by the fact that it has a de-
cisive victory over the North Carolina
A. and NJ. eleven. The team when
lost to Georgetown last week in hard
fought contest went down before South
Carolina earlier in the year in con-
flict in which Coach Hegarty of A. and
M. admitted his team had been con-
siderably outplayed. Incidentally Heg-
arty stated afterward that South Caro-
lima was represented by the most pow
erfuI combination he had seen TINS sea-
son.
Virginia was able to defeat South
Carolina by only two touchdoWnS at d
time when four of it's best players
were absent If an eleven of Virginia's
strength was able to win by only Two
touchdowns with four good men out
of the lineup of the Palmetto eleven
just how much stronger will the south,
erners have to be to give the local
eleven an extremely hard contest? IL
stands to reason that four good men
come pretty near making good foot
ball team, and it seems that the Tour
kept out of last weeks oattie with
Virginia were the best in the hne-up.
1t begins to look as If Georgetown
will have TO go at it's best to win and
cannot hope to run up much OF score
Especially is this true when 1t is stated
that Wall and Gilroy, the two star
haifbacks, are not in as good condi-
tion as might be. The game probably
will be better than any played here In
two seasons, with the possible eXcep-
ton of that which took place last year
between Washington and Jefferson and
Georgetown.
Catholic University also has hard
game on it's hands Saturday. the Roa-
noke College eleven of Roanoke being the
team it is to meet. The Brooklanders go
to Roanoke for the contest and the game
is sure to be played between two we'll
coached and powerful eievens physically
Roa noke has a combination which held
the North Carolina A. and NJ. to an 90
score early in the year, and as that eleven

SHAW'S RECOVERY
ALMOST ASSURED
Attending Physician Wires
President Minor Pitcher
Is in No Danger.
HIS CAREER AS TWIRLER
IS NOT BELIEVED ENDED
Mathewson Says Hans Wagner Will
Manage Pittsburgh Pirates
Next Season.
BY J, ED GRILLo.

According to DR.. Sherman, staff sur
geon of the hospital in which Jim Shaw
is confined in Pittsburgh. there is no
question about Shaw's complete recov-
cry in due time.
This information was wired to Presi-
dent Ben Minor last night by DR.. Sher-
man. While, of course, it is too early
to determine just what permanent ef-
feet the injury will have on Shaw, 1t
is not believed that the young pitcher
will be incapacitated from pitching.
The wound is in his neck, and, in the
opinion of Dr. Sherman, this will not
necessarily interfere with his pitching.
though time alone will tell the story.
While 1T is true that Shaw was fg-
ured as being very promising pitcher.
he had not been a consistent performer
since Joining the Nationals, though he
displayed a world of stuff on occasions,
and in the opinion of most good Judges
1t was only a matter of time when
Shaw would be a real star.
Last year Shaw did not fare we'll. He
took part in only nineteen games. win
ming five and losing twelve. He did
not get into a game during the last
two months or more of the campaign,
suffering with lame arm. which Grif-
nth believed could only be mended by
complete rest, which Shaw enjoyed
during the greater part of the season.
His youth, it is believed. will be Of
great help to his chances for complete
| recovery.
According to New York special the
Feds have purchased a site for their
grounds on Manhattan Island. 1t Is
said to be located at Lenox avenue and
145th street. That sounds well, but the
information that two streets must be
| closed before base ball grounds can
be built puts an entirely different
aspect on the announcement.
Getting the privilege to close streets
in New York Is not an easy matter.
There would have to be long-drawn-out
legal proceedings INDUCED In and lot
| such a privilege would be granted.
Gilmore says an official announcement
as to where the new park will be To-
Gated will be made within q week or so.
According to. Cf,risty Mathewson.
Hans Wagner is slated to be the sue
cessor of Fred Clarke as manager of
the Pittsburgh Pirates. Matty is trav-
cling through the west with Bender,
Doc Crandali and Harry Davis, doing
shooting stunt, and he was in Pitts
burgh long enough to get this infor-
nation about Wagner, 1t Is supposed.
I Wagner probably is the man Drey-
fuss intends to install in the position.
though the Pittsburgh club owner has
been mum on the subject Of manager
for his team.
Wagner undoubtedly would be a
playing manager If he got the job.
Though getting along in years. Hans
played in 1855 games last season, and
batted at a .284 clip. which Is pretty
good for an infieider. and he also did
| some long distance hitting, having a
batch Of doubles. triples and home runs
to his credit.

game long enough to be capable

The failure of Mr.. Sinclair to obtain
control of the Giants has resulted in
his threat to put Federal League
club in Manhattan. a venture which
will involve the outlay of more than
a million dollars. Sinclair is anxious
to know whether the Yankees will
build their new park in Queens be-
fore he decides to make a move. He
says that II Col. Rupert and Capt.
Huston leave Manhattan for Long
island City the coast will be left clear
for the Federal League. and he will
then proceed to build the largest base
ball stadium in the country.
When Frank Chance quit the New
York Yankees season before last. he
vowed he was through with base ball
forever. But a seasons idleness seems
to have generated the base ball germ
once more and he now is contemplSt-
ing accepting a position in the Pacific

modified his avowal by insisting that

POINTERS FOR GUIDANCE OF
ATHLETES WHO HAVE NO TRAINERS

Training for the hurdles should con-
sfst of a few racing starts and dashts
over one or two hurdles at the most.
The best timber tcppers never go over
the full course except in a race.
Distance runners should not neglect
speed work. The half miller should do
his fast 220 yard runs, and the miller
his brisk quarters twice a week at
least. Speed is vital in both of these
races.
In training for the high jump a lad
must try to cultivate Spring Do
short spirits and practice running up
to the bar. jumping we'll: three or four
leaps are enough to keep your jump
ing form. IF you go out and jump all
the afternoon your muscles will lose
their snap.
Don't make races Of your practice
runs. This habit uses up too much
vitality. thereby weakening the run
ner for the real race. This does not
apply to sprinters, who gain much by
practicing short dashes in company
with each other
In the broad jump hitting the take
off board" is the most important thing.
Practice running up to it repeatedly
without making the leap. From three
to six jumps are plenty each time out.
Gain speed by sprinting forty to sixty
xard stretches.

NEVER before in the history OF track
and field sports have 50 many of
the younger generation been interested
in athletic feats as at this time. The
athletic season opening everywhere is
heralded by the numerous requests for
advice about training for athletic
events, and for the benefit OF the many
who are not fortunate enough to have
the advice Of competent trainers few
cinder path don'ts gathered from ex-
perience are appended.
Don't run hard the first time out. II
you are a Splinter prance up and down
the course few times; IL q distance
race. run about two-thirds your regu-
lar distance at very; slow gait.
Don't attempt to live on "a regular
training diet. Wholesome home food Is
better for the athlete in training than
a lot OF so called predigested stuff. Eat
in moderation.
Don't run In shoes that At poorly. A
running shoe should ut the foot SO
tightly as to cause slight pain at first
wearing. It will gradually stretch out
to the shape Of he foot.
Never practice beating the gun"
Many fast starter has been spoiled In
this way. You may get away with It
few times, but In the long run It's
losing game, Besides. 1t is not fair
