Hard Drill for Tigers.
[Rr Telegraph 70 Tho rrIhure.


Princeton. n. j., Sept 24.-Rush did
not have his Princeton eleven scrlm-
mage this afternoon, but he put the
men through about as stiff a practice
as possible. For two hours he had
them on the jump all the time. They
were drilled in charging, blocking,
punting, passing and each of the other
departments of the game for an hour.
Then he divided the squad into five
teams. and they ran up and down the
field for about an hour in one OF the
snappiest signal practices since the
training began.
Such hard practice just before a
game is decided innovation for
Princeton At o'clock tomorrow the
Tigers meet Georgetown and q hard
game is expected with the men from
Washington. This will be the first
time Princeton has played Georgetown
since 1905, when the Tigers won by a
close score.
Captain Click will start the game at
quarter, but it is doubtful whether he
will play long, as his injured ankle is
still troublesome.

than February | report for the cal

In others it Is declared to be absolutely

House Committee. Makes Favor.
able Report on Separate
Compartments. -,

Predicting "a betterrhent Of conditions
between the white people and negroes In
the District II this bill IL enacted into
law" formal report on the Clark bill
requiring transportation companies to
provide separate compartments for white
and colored passengers in the District
was filed with the House today.
The report. prepared for the committee
by Congressman Caraway, says the COM
mittee recommends an amendment MAX
ing passengers liable to punishment OF
compartments set apart for the races.
Conductors and motormen are givsn po-
Ice power to enforce the law. In part
the report says:
THE bill as amended provides that
the compartments or sections to be &C.
cupied by the different races should be
designated and the members Of each
race confined to the section Set apart
for its accommodation. This could en-
tail but little II any expense in its en-
forcement. and therefore for that reason
the transportation companies could not
object to Its enactment. This is all the
more true by reason Of the fact that
most street cars in the Dbtrfct Of Co.
lumbia have central entrances. and one
end Of the car to be occupied by tire
white people and one end by the negroes
could be designated by signs.
THE committee has thought It wise
to empower the conductors. motormen,
and others in charge of conveyances for
passenger travel with police AUTHORITY
to the extent OF enforcing the provi-
sions OF this act 1t Is not thought
to be just to impose penalties upon the
transportation companies for failure to
comply with the provisions OF this act
without giving to their employees power
to enforce its provisions.
We confidently believe that II this
bill Is enacted into law it's enforcement
will result in the betterment OF con-
ditions between the white people and
negroes in the District of Columbia.
