 PANAMA, Dec. 1S.-The Panama canal which has been closed since Sep tember IS last. by the worst slide in its history, will be opened again for the passage of vessels drawing less than twenty feet, tomorrow when ten ships, three from the Atlantic end and seven from the Pacific end, make the pas sage.
 Exceptional progress, aided by good weather conditions, made during the las. 36 hours enabled the canal en- gineers and dredgemen to upset the prediction that the canal would not again be opened to traffic before next spring Providing that no further earth slides occur the canal will be ready for the transit of vessels of all drafts shortly after the first of the year.

YALE WORKING HARD.
Varsity Shows Form in Scrimmage
With Scrub.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, October I'll
Yale's varsity yesterday faced two OPP
ponents-the ineligibles and the scrub.
They were treated impartially. the reg
ulars scoring two touchdowns against
each in twenty minutes scrimmaging,
of which ten were devoted to each OPP
ponent.
When the Yale coaches Sunday even
ing outlined plans for the week they
decided to handle the eleven cautiously
in preparation for the Washington and
jefferson game. Just two days of hard
scrimmage work were decided upon for
Tuesday and Wednesday. with pro-
tracted signal drill on the remaining
afternoons. Yesterdays scrimmaging

Scovil crossed the line for two touch
downs and Kirk Smith and Joe Neville

week. He will do Yale's punting Satur-

DE ORC INCREASES LEAD.
Scores so to Slosson's Al in Third
Block and Total Is $50 to 1877.

NEW YORK, October 21.-Alfredo De
Orc won the third block of his 250-point
match from George Slosson at Doyle's
42d street billiard room last night by a
score of so to Al, thereby strengthening
his lead over the balk-line expert. The
total score on the three nights play
now stands $50 to 1877. with the Cuban
cueist in the lead
The third block of half a hundred
points required seventy-four innings
for completion, and the same speed Of
play which marked the first two sec
lions of the match was in evidence last
night. De Oro'S best cluster was s, one
better than Slosson made in his most
fruitful inning. The veteran balk-line
player had no luck at all in the match,
as evidenced by the fact that nineteen
times he went to the table and made
pretty shots for tally only to be con-
fronted by almost impossible shots
Outside of that he missed many a
hard try by hairs breadth, and 1t was
the opinion of many in the big crowd
that sat through the play that with a
little aid from Dame Fortune Slosson
would have outscored the champion.
Slosson's one fault was that he seemed
in better balk-line than three-cushion
stroke. He frequently failed to make
the cue ball travel Tar enough.

PRINCETON NEEDS ENDS.
Present Candidates Lack Weight.
Teams Biggest Problem.

PRINCETON, n. j., october 21.-John
Rush, the Tiger foot ball coach, has not
been entirely satisfied with the work of
the ends in the last few games, and Is
consequently devoting a great deal of
his time to these positions. The squad
is in need of ends with more weight,
and this fact probably influenced the
Tiger coaches in their decision to shift
Moore from behind the line to end.
There is a scarcity of end men that pos
sess weight and at the same time can
use their feet to advantage. Highley
and Wilson, the two best ends on the
| varsity squad. are both fast and quick
in diagnosing plays, but both are lack
ing in weight and are not built for
heavy work.
Harold Brown possesses an ideal build
for an end and is one of the hardest
fighters on the squad, but Is a trifie
slow on his feet and in diagnosing a
play. Moore is the fastest man on the
Princeton squad, but Is not very shifty
in carrying the ball, and the coach fig
! ured that he could make better use OF
his speed in covering the lengthy kicks
of Law and Drlggs and in getting down
under the long forward passes.
Ham Andrews, who handles the end
candidates, had his men out on Uni
versity Field at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and worked them until 1t
was difficult to follow the ball on &C
count of the darkness.
| The coaches took both the varsity and
freshmen squads down to the stadium
and had them engage in a fifteen-min-
ute tussle. The offensive of the varsity
was in good working order, and the
varsity succeeded in crossing the cub
goal line four times. Dave Tibbott was
back in the scrimmage and was re-
! sponsible for three of the varsity's
| touchdowns. Tibbott broke loose for
| several sensational runs of the same
nature that allowed him to score on
Rutgers. The fourth touchdown came
when RED" Gennert, the first teams
| center, blocked a kick, recovered THE
ball and ran fifty yards for a touch
down. Gennert is an accurate passer
| and is also an alert, aggressive player
on the defensive.
