Only One Regular Out
of the Cornell Line Up
Wesleyan on Last Lap
of Seasons Work
tBy Telegraph to IN. Tribune. ]

Middletown. Conn, Nov. 17.-Wesley
an is bending all Of her energies this
week toward reaching perfection
which will carry her safely through the
games with Trinity and Columbia, the
last two on the schedule. The varsity
had hard scrimmages to-day with a
strong scrub team composed of coaches,
ineligible men, scrub and freshmen.
The offence of the varsity is nearing
perfection, but the defence is still bit
weak in spots. In these next two days
great deal is expected from the punt
ing of Deetjen and the drop kicking Of
Eustis. II is 10 be remembered that it
was Eustis who won the game from
Trinity last year by a drop kick. He
has made several already this year. and
in practice seems 20 be more accurate
than ever.
II is sure that Deetjen will be called
upon to kick at unexpected moments, as
his high, long spirals are exceedingly
hard to judge and have rarely failed to
gain in any exchange OF punts. So far
this season Wesleyan has not played
the kicking game at all, but the practice
this week would seem to indicate that
the coaches are planning to use their
two stars a great deal in the next two
months.

HARVARD BUILDS
DEFENCE AGAINST
.YALE'S PET PLAYS
Mahan Has Another After
noon of Fine Punting
and Drop Kicking.
BY BRIGGS

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 17.-Although
the Harvard second team was held at
Cambridge to-day and not allowed 70
20 to Concord, N. H., for game with
the st. Paul's School eleven, the
coaches had only a short drill for their
team.
There was no tackling in the scrim-
mage between the varsity and the
scrubs. but aside from the lack OF this
the regulars had a taste OF real ioot-
ball. The second team, which has been
working on Yale's plays for two weeks
was full of ginger, but the varsity
smeared the plays repeatedly. Inc
first teams own attack showed the
natural finish of the late season, and
after the practice the coaches felt well
pleased.
Eddie Mahan did some remarkable
kicking to-day. his efforts being even
better than those of yesterday. He
made several punts of more than sixty
yards, and the height of the kicks was
tremendous. The coaches, not having a
good kicker on the scrubs, sent Leo
Lcary to do the puntng to the varsity
backs. He gets almost as much height
and distance as does Nahan, and as the
varsity held his punts it is believed
that it will be able to handle Guern-
sey's on Saturday.
The varsity line was shifted again
to-day, Soucy being at right end. and
there is no telling just what the final
arrangement of the team will be. the
only thing certain is that Soucy and
Harte will be the ends, Parson and Gill
man the tackles, Cowen and Dadmun
the guards and Wallace centre, with
Boles. King and Mahsn starting in the
backfield.
This afternoon Boles was sent in TO
play quarter for the scrubs for spell,
something he has not done for several
weeks. 1t was rumored that Enwright
lad been placed on probation by the
faculty, but the football management
stated that it had heard nothing of it.
The regulars will go into short drill
tomorrow and then will go to the YES
per Country Club, at Lowell, Mass, to
remain until the day of the game.
Crawford Blagden, of the 1910 team,
was on the field coaching the tackles
this afternoon, giving special attention
TO Parsons, who was weak on defence
against the Tigers. The first team had
plenty of drive to its attack, but did no
scoring. Few new plays are being put
on for the Yale game, Harvard's aim
being to perfect the plays it already
has used

Penn State Coaches
Driving Team Hard

state College, Penn. Nov. 17.-Realiz-
lEg the task confronting them, Penn
state coaches are working hard to
whip the eleven into condition for the
annual Thanksgiving Day battle with
Pittsburgh. No game is scheduled for
next Saturday, so that the Blue and
White players will focus their atten-
ton for the next week OF The final
truggle OF the season.
Few scrimmages are planned for the
remaining practice periods on Beaver
Field. Harlow will confine the rough
work to tackline down the field under
punts. This afternoon the freshman
backs were used to return the kicks,
while all the varsity linemen and ends
were sent down in squads to stop the
runners. A few of the regulars. who
had not fully recovered from bruises
sustained in the Lafayette game. were
excused from tackling. although they
were constantly prodded to increase
their speed.
In the signal practice that followed
the preliminary workout. Ewing sue
cessfully kicked four field goals. His
improvement in this department has
been so marked that Ewing now tops
States squad Of field goal kickers by
a wide margin. His toe may be called
into use against Pittsburgh to match
fastings's drop-kicking ability.

Ithaca, y. T., Nov. with every

tho hardest practices so far this sea

The varsity lined up with the sec

ARMY DRIVEN

Coffin's Stay at Quarter

in Secret Practice.
lBy Telegraph to Tie Tribune

West Point, Nov. with the
Springfield game three days off the
Army eleven went through a long and
strenuous scrmmage this afternoon
The cadets toiled for forty-five minutes
on the plains" in a rough drill that
was devoted principally to perfecting a
defence.
Ole score came the big teams way
Murrll was at quarter for while. and
later the coaches sent Gerhardt in as
pilot. Both these players had lengthy
session at catching punts, and their
work was pleasing. Collins high spirals
had plenty of carry to them, some OF
his hefts being good for ffty-fve and
sixty yards. Against the wind he av-
oraged forty-fve yards.
O'Hare displaced Knight at guard
and both Jones and Parker were used
at one tackle position with Captain
Babe Weyand at the other. McEwan
did all the pivotal work to-day. Ford
was in the backheld for the first time
since the Notre Dame contest Coffin
played fullback throughout.
There now seems no likelihood OF
the coaches using Coffin at quarter. His
shlft to the position was short-lived
Either Murrill or Gerhardt will have the
call. Both showed plenty Of pep" to-
day.
On an adjoining field the Cullum Hall
cadet team battled to a draw with the
eleven from the New York Military
Academy, of Cornwall The score was
TO 8.
Annapolis. Nov. f7.--Official figures OF
the present weights of members of the

ty pounds lighter 10 the man than last
seasons backtield and the lightest for
Navy backiield for many years.
Practice was secret this afternoon, ex-
cept for persons connected with the
academy. The regiment of midshipmen
assembled on the stands and found
much to encourage them in the smooth
working of the new backfield. as well
as the ability of Johnson. Blodgett and
Won Heimburg to hold the ball on the
forward pass plays which will be used
against the Army eleven.
The only real competition for a place
on the team is that for left end. where
Bodgett and Won lIeimburg are the
contenders. Whoever wins the place
will drop back TO do the punting. and
Blodgett is a slight favorite at present,
as he is covering more ground with his
kicks, and also has more weight and ex-
perience than Won Heimburg. Owing to
injuries Captain Miles is almost sure TO
give way to Craig at quarter. while II.
