short scrmmage against the scrub this
afternoon the Trinity varsity was put
through a careful signal drill and then
had some line plunging exercise against
the ropes. The preparations are now
about complete for the final game here
on Saturday with Wesleyan.
As Churchill is now a senior and this
will be his last chance to win his letter.
it is possible he may start the game at
right guard. with Nordstrum. the place
kicker, going in later. Maxon, who is
to play quarterback for the second time

drop kicker. and this afternoon scored
several field goals from around the 40

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. ls.-The Hsr.
ward football team completed its sea
sons work in the stadium here this
afternoon. and tonight is at the Yes
per Country Club. at Tyngs Island
near Lowell The PLAYERS will not re-
turn to Cambridge until few hour,
before the game.
This afternoon there was a long sig
nal drill. and then the gates were
thrown omen and the Undergraduate
body, marching behind band, trooped
on the field and cheered and sang
while the varsity ran up and down the
field, putting on various simple PLAYS.
The undergraduates cheered all the
regular members of the team. including
both Cowen and Taylor, both of whom
are sure to alternate at one guard on
Saturday.
Captain Ned Mahan did some fine
punting and showed that he is not the
least bit concerned over the stories
that have been circulated regarding his
ineligibility to play. 1t was not until
President Lowell returned TO Cam.
bridge that il was decided finally that
Enwright, the big substitute back
would remain on probation. Enwrgh,
has four Els in his college work and
the rules call for at least two C's.
There is no truth 10 the rumor which
reached New Haven on Wednesday
night that Harvard is even considering
declaring Captain Mahsn ineligible TO
play. There have been all sorts OF
stories. but tonight the question OF
Mahan's eligibility did not even come
before the Harvard administration
board. In fact, no other case thap En-
wright's was considered, and this not
on charges of professional baseball but
because of his unsatisfactory stand in
his college work.
The Harvard coaches got together
this afternoon and ran through a 10,
of plays, much 10 the amusement Of the
spectators, but they did not, as last
year, get into any scrimmage against
the second team. The eleven here is
in splendid condition, and there is not
a man on the regular or first substitute
list who is not in every way nc TO play
his best game against Yale on Satur-
day.
Cowen will be at right guard without
fail, the final lineup to-day being the
same as 1t will be on Saturday. This
makes the line: Hsrte, left end; Gil

Wallace, centre; Cowen, right guard;

team tonight but will join them to.

another drill on plays and lot Of kick
ing.
Mahan is the man relied on TO bring
the team through, and he has never
been in better condition for hard
game. The feeling here at Cambridge
is that the team should beat Yale by
good margin. II is realized that no
mistakes can be made in handling kicks.
but when it comes to straight football
the Harvard men believe that their
team is much superior.

New Haven, Nov 1S.-Two thousand
Yale students marched to the railway
station this afternoon and gave the
Yale football team a rousing send-off
as they left for Auburndale, where they
will be quartered until the Harvard
game in the Stadium Saturday. The
line of students, headed by band,
swept the two principal streets Of New
Haven almost clear of traffic. As the
students marched, they cheered and
sang.
At the station coaches and players,
Yale and the team were cheered indi-
and collectively. The celebra-
ton was comparable only to the recep-
ton accorded former President Will
lam II. Taft when he returned TO Yale.

The Yale team left New Haven in
good physical condition. The conf
dence which the Princeton game, via
Tom Shevlin, has instilled into the men
appeared to have been increased to-day,
for the members Of the team and every
undergraduate who was at the train
the contest.
If the support of the undergradu-
ates counts for anything, Yale ought to
win over Harvard hands down, for the
students are behind the team solidly.
The cheer which went up from the
undergraduates as the cars containing
the team pulled out of the station was
the most enthusiastic Yale students
have heard from Yale students in
years, according to graduates who
heard il. From the time the train
started moving until the cars were lost
to view in a curve two hundred yards
away hats flew in the air and cheering
Yale men shouted themselves hoarse.
An indication OF the enthusiasm Yale
men feel over the game came tonight
in the Yale dining nall, when 1000 men
at dinner began singing "The Under
taker" song, and continued it inter-
mittently for half an hour.

dulged in for the benefit Of the spec
tators. after which the burning of the
dummy took place.
The squad left Hanover at 4:45 amid
the greatest demonstration given a
Dartmouth team in four years. Before
the departure Frank Cavanaugh, the
coach. said: "There never was a Dart
mouth team yet licked before the game.
and the hours argument with Syracuse
is yet to come. There is no question
about the Green's apparent improve

good possibility OF a pleasant sur

Columbia finished its polishing yes
terday for the all important game with
New York University tomorrow. Sig
nal drill occupied the regulars in a
sixty minute session on the gridiron
and in the evening there was another
drill in the gymnasium. 1t was light
workout for all hands, but Metcalf felt
that the eleven was in good trim and
was fearful Of having another scrim-
mage, because all OF his first string
men have just about regained their
good condition.
Howard Miller, who has been quar-
terback all season, was unable 10 don
his togs because of heavy cold, but
there is little doubt that he will start
in the game against the team from The
Bronx. Simonds had his place in the
practice. Littauer, the big fullback,
was back at his old place and ran
through signals. showing little effect OF
the injury to his knee early in the
week which threatened TO keep him on
the side lines for the balance Of the
season. -.
Metcalf does not want to use. Lit
tauer at all on Saturday, but he IS
afraid that he may have to. Monroe
will be in at fullback when the team
takes the field and Littauer Will NOT be
called on unless he is absolutely
needed.

South Bethlehem, Penn, Nov. 1S.-The
Lehigh eleven had it's last hard work
before Saturdays forty-ninth annual
contest with Lafayette, to-day. To-
morrow's work will be just enough to
keep the men limbered up.
The practice was in the nature of a
Lafayette demonstration as the scrub
for more than half an hour hurled
avalanches of forward passes in La
fayette style and under Keady's watch

break up these lateral throws and then
successfully executed their plans.

Ghost Ball in Drill
IL Telegraph 70 The Tribune J

State College, Penn, Nov. 18.-Be-
hind locked gates and with the ghost
ball. used for the first time this season,
Penn States eleven this afternoon went
through a long practice in preparation
for the annual battle with Pittsburgh,
on Thanksgiving Day. The linemen
had special coaching by Harlow in
defensive tactics. while bud" Whitney
had the backs working hard with the
tackling dummy. The regulars, with
the exception of Yeager and Bergman,
got a long signal drill in the new plays
that have been prepared and rehearsed
for the last four weeks. All of the
work was smooth and spirited,
which augurs we'll for the successful
use of those new forms of attack in
the coming struggle for the states
football supremacy.
The freshman eleven was pitted
against the regulars in short scrim-
mage. The varsity labored entirely
on the defensive. giving the first-year
men an opportunity to advance the
whitewashed ball. So strong was the
opposition that the freshmen were una
bic to make a single first down, even
though equipped with specially Sc
lected PLAYS.

New plays were tried out against the

to block the punts. Eutis then tried
several drop kicks, missing only one.
IL now appears that Boswell will be
out of the game with Trinity, and that
Eustis will take his place. He will
be all right again, though, by the CO.

in Long Scrimmage.
nv Telegraph TO The rribun..l

West Point, n. Y, Nov 16.-Several
changes in the Army eleven marked the
drill to-day, but the watchers were in
clined to believe they were made
rather in the nature of workout for
the first string men than with any
idea that they were to be permanent
For instance, during the most OF the
drill Walker, Berry and Hoge were
used in the back field, with Murrlll at
quarter. There was another combina-
ton of Gerhardt, Coffin, Oliphant and
Ford which looked most formidable,
and which all hands expect Will De
started in Saturdays contest with
Springfield. Gerhardt was the pilot and
he had plenty of ginger in his work. In
fact it would seem that this latter
backfield combination is the one which
will be pitted against Navy in New
York on November q. -.
Jones and knight played in the line
for a long while at tackle and guard;
respectively, and Goodman was used
most Of the time at centre. OHare
and Parker were out, but DID not get
much Of the heavy work. The cadets
will take their final drill tomorrow
for the Springfield contest.

Rutgers was overlooked on Wednes-
day in referring TO the high scoring
teams in the East The eleven coached
bv George Foster Sanford has piled
UP DAP points this year in six games,
and consequently is third OH the list.
With Stevens and New York University
yet to play, Rutgers may reach the top
before the season is over.
Speaking of this team. Ham Fish,
the soul of the All-Stars, expressed the
opinion after the game last Saturday
that Rutgers had one of the strongest
and best elevens he had ever seen.
In a letter from a Cornell man DR..
Sharpe is quoted as saying after the
game with Washington and Lee last
Saturday. when the visitors from the
near-South led at the end of the first
half by score of II to 20: ut was
the best thing that could happen for
the team. The thing was due, and
am mighty glad we struck such
game"
No doubt DR.. Sharpe had begun to
dread feeling of overconfidence with
the PENNSYLVANIA game so near at hand.
In all probability Washington and Lee
with really good team taught the
Cornell men lesson which will be
taken to heart.
One year ago Cornell's defence
against the forward pass was none too
strong, and this same weakness cropped
out last Saturday. 1t would be well to
correct this fault before Thursday, No
