Yale Not Disheartened by
Loss of lie Gore and Buries
Scrub Eleven Under
Big Score.

New Haven, Oct. 19.-Yale has not
lost heart because one OF the most
promising players on the football team
has been declared ineligible. This
afternoon the team played harder ana
the coaches were more painstaklng
than ever in an effort TO get the Yale
eleven a step or two nearer champion
ship form.
Twenty minutes Of hard scrimmage,
in which the varsity rolled up Il points
on team of ineligibles and held ITS
opponents scoreless, made up the bulk
Of the afternoons work. Smith, ScOvil
and Neville each made a touchdown
after the backfeld had taken the ball
down the field on straight plays.
Neville made a drop kick from the 81
yard line.
The plays used by the varsity this
afternoon were of the oldtime variety,
line rushes. skin tackle bucks and END
runs following one another IN quick
succession. They had plenty of ef-
fectiveness, however. and there was
lust enough snap to the manner In
which Captain Wilson drove the team
from quarterback TO take the inehgi-
bles of their feet. Il was good
afternoons work, and Frank Hinkey'
his regular assistants and Johnny nj

visiting graduates, oil were pleased

Harvard Coaches Let Up
A Bit in Driving Tactics

Gilman and Parson. will be back In tho
lineup for some hard work before the
Cornell game. next Saturday.
The coaches made a rather important
shift to-day. This was placing Bigelow
at right guard on the substitutes both
in the signal drill and in the scrlm-
mage that followed. Bigelow has not
been coming along very fast at tackle.
except in his interference against the
opponents secondary defence.
Bigelow has played at centre as well
as at tackle. but guard is a new place
for him. lie has the strength and Is
more aggressive than is Cowan. man
who has more weight and should be u
much more effective player than Bige-
low is. Bigelow will work at guard
for the next two days, and is likely to
be the first man in the lineup against
Cornell, with Dadmun. who surely is a
fixture on the left side OF the line.
Harvard regained the services OF
Horween this afternoon. He is the
biggest OF all the backs and is the
most powerful player on the held m
line plays. His weakness is on inter
ference and defence. but the coaches
have every hope OF being able to de-
velop him. providing he can keep IN
physical trim for hard play Doherty

Coaches Shift Backs
on Navy Eleven

Annapolis, Nd, Oct. ia new ar
rangement of the backiield at the
Naval Academy this afternoon enabled
the team to carry the ball straight down
the field By a series Of gains through
the line, something that the Academy
team has not been able to do so far
this year Luth was at quarterback,
Won Heimberg at fullback and West
phal and Martin at the halves.
All save Luth of this combination
are fourth class men. With Martin and
Luth doing most OF the work, the ball
was carried from midheld to the scrubs
5-yard line without & break. Luth ran
the team with much snap and ylgor,
and the work in the backfeld was prob
ably the best seen this year.
With the ball on the scrubs 5-yard
line the coaches directed the team TO
try a new forward pass play. which
had been tested in the preliminary
practice. Little success was met with,
as has been the case with these plays
during the whole season. Neverthe-
less, Lieutenant Ingram is determined
that the team shall master them. He
believes that ability 20 make effective
use cf The pass is an essential under
present football conditions.
Blodgett, who played halfback for
two seasons, is being continued at end
and is being groomed to take most of
the passes. Jackson was on the other
flank this afternoon

Penn Coaches Try
Two New Tackles

Philadelphia, Oct 1.-THE Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football coaches
this afternoon tried out two new tao
kles. Mathews, who is suffering from
a lacerated side, and not a cracked rib
as thought at first, and Captain Harris
took a rest.
Their places went TO Kepler and Dun
lop, one of whom will probably start
against Pittsburgh on Saturday. Hav-
ing tried everything else to convert
their team into a winner, the coaches
this afternoon decided to give the men
a full two days rest from sorimmage
in preparation for Saturdays game. The
last scrimmage will be held to-morroy
afternoon.
The coaches hope that this respite
from hard work will put new fight into
the players. and that IL they can get a
good start against Pittsburgh they may
fare better than most Of the critics pre-
dict. The new backfield was used this
afternoon in the regular scrimmage
practice. II consisted Of Berry at quar-
terback; Rockefeller and Ross at half
backs. and Williams, at fullback.

n. Y. U. IN HARD
PRACTICE GAME
WITH COLUMBIA
Battle Royal Takes Place
on South Field, and
Both Teams Profit.

Columbia and New York University
tattled until dusk on South Field yes
terday afternoon in the first OF series
of football scrimmages that the two
elevens will indulge in through the re-
mainder of the season.
Both coaches tried to impress on
their teams that the scrimmage was not
70 SAVIOR too strongly of a contest out
when the elevens came to actual grips
on the field they fought as If a title
we're at stake.
Although there was no real scoring,
Ny. L. did hammer its way across the
Columbia goal line when the Columbia
regulars were in the game, but the
coaches refused to call 1t touchdown.
Later the Columbia freshmen lined
I'D against the New York scrubs and
got the ball across the line. But al
though there was no official scoring,
the more experienced y. Y. L. eleven
was stronger and better than Colum-
bias green team.
The chief object of the scrimmage
was to test the respective defences and
give the coaches something tangible
10 work on.
Columbia did not have its full first
string team on the field and made
FREQUENT substitutes, so that II is still
impossible to state with conclusiyeness
lust how effective the Columbia team
is on the defence. In spots 1t did wei
against y. Y. T., and seemed especially
strong through the line IN stopping
straight backs. IL was confused, now
ever. when it came TO diagnosing Tor
ward passes and runs from kick for
nations.
New York University, on the other
hand, presented line which was none
too potent against smashing attack,
But in smearing forward passes ana
end runs y. Y. U. was complete master
OF the situation.
Williams. the giant negro tackle on
the New York University eleven, was
tower of strength and broke through
the Columbia line several times ior
good gains. On one play he went
through so fast that Mansbach, who
was getting ready to toss a forward
PASS, Htu uO NAitt W ~ w $500
and Williams grabbed 1t.
Columbia disclosed an attack which
got under way with surprising rapidly,
and the interference was all that could
be desired. Captain Simonds and Mil
Ter, quarterback, were out OF the line
up. and their absence was a handicap,
but Donoho and Slower, their under
studies, fitted in well.
New York kicked Oft TO Columbia
and the Blue and White rushed half
dozen times before punting to Cam,
who got the ball well down in his own
territory. From there the visiting
eleven, chiefly by forward passes,
worked the ball down to Columbia's 10
yard line. twenty-fve-yard run by
Williams on a tackle around play was
factor in this march down the field.
II took five plays for New York Unit
versity 20 get the ball over Columbia's
line, Cam making the last gain on
plunge through centre.
Columbia failed in an attempt 20
take the ball from y. Y. US 25-yard
line TO the goal because Williams broke
through and got the ball. When it was
called back Waldman interjected a
pass.
This was enough for the first string
men. and the substitutes battled until
1t was dark.
