ANOTHER EASY DAY
FOR COLUMBIA TEAM
Football Squad Devotes After.
noon to Drop Kicking.

With full week In which 70 get
ready for the game with Stevens, the
columbia football squad had another
day Of light work yesterday. Most Of
the early part Of the practice session
was devoted 20 drop and placement
kicking, at both of which Columbia
showed to poor advantage against st.
Lawrence. Buermeyer, Cleveland, Cap
tain Simonds and Dial Cochrane, who is
still ineligible, put in some time at
booting the ball over the crossbar be
fore the full squad came on the field.
The varsity lineup was az follows:
Reeder, left end; Healey, left tackle;
Kennedy, left guard; Brown, centre;
Cleveland, right guard Donaldson,
right tackle; Buermeyer, right end;
Miller, quarterback; Wadleton, left
halfback; Donoho, right halfback; Lit
tauer, fullback.
Columbia Is making every effort TO
find a team to play on November 20,
the only open date on the schedule.
With New York University, Amherst and
Brown definitely out Of the running,
attention is being centred on Williams
and Union. Both are willing 10 play
Columbia, but faculty objections, it is
said, stand In the way.
Official announcement was made that
6e4 students are available for the Co
lumbia varsity eleven. The total en-
rolment of Columbia College to which
football is restricted is LII. OF this
number there are 800 freshmen and 115
juniors and seniors are in the profess
sional schools and are therefore in
eligible. This leaves a net football.

CORNELL LONG TALK
Football Men Will Have Real
Work, However, To-day.
tBy Telegraph TO The rhbunsl

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct 26.-Instead of a
workout for the scrub this afternoon,
as had been planned, the Cornell foot
ball squad listened TO a long talk bv
DR.. Sharpe, the head coach. The men
will don their toys for the first time
since the Harvard game tomorrow.
While some work will be done in
preparation for the Virginia Polytech-
mic contest on Saturday. the real aim
will be TO develop new plays and
strengthen old ores for the Michigan
game week later. Michigan has al
ways given Cornell hard fight, and
the coaches plan TO take no chance in
sending a weak team TO Ann Arbor..
Following former custom, the
coache: will give the scrub thorough
workout during the next six weeks OF
the football sesscn. Such men as
Lewis. the fast fullback, as well as
Hoffman, Schlichter and Benedict, half
backs, who are developing rapidly, will
probably be used more in the future
In the line OF the scrub Welles and
Jewett, tackles, and McKesge, guard,
also have made good impression,

Whitney and Martin, the coaches. drove
the regulars at top speed, perfecting
the attack and strengthening the de-

Certain defects that developed in the

Taylor Will Get Trial at
Guard on the Harvard
Team - M a han
Takes a Rest.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 26.-The foot
ball atmosphere at Harvard became
charged with a little more optimism
to-day, the coaches being able TO start
light work with the regulars and later
20 watch the substitutes make the best
showing of the season against the
scrub. The men who played against
Cornell, with the exception of one or
two, did not take part in the scrim-
mage. but in the signal work the line
up was indicative of Harvard's final
array for the Princeton and Yale games.
After weeks Of consideration Taylor
finally was shifted from centre TO
guard this afternoon, and with Wal
lace in the middle Of the line again the
forward front seems complete. Joe
Gilman did not run through signals
even, his place being taken BY Gamer.
Dadmun was switched from left 10
right guard, HaT;e and Soucy being the
ends and Wilcox being in charge OF
the backfeld, which comprised Mahann,
King and Enwright With Gilman back
in the game this will be Harvard's
starting team against the Tigers on
November 6, unless future scrimmages
place some Of the men on the hospital
list.
The substitutes were full Of fight,
forcing the scrub back across its goal
line three times. Robinson kicked a
field goal from the 30-yard line. En-
wright worked in this scrimmage for a
time, and showed all his former power
both on attack and defence. lie is now

which has been weak all year, except
when Enwright OF McKinlock have been
in the game. Lyman worked at end for
time to-day, and Horween replaced
Wiggin IN the baokfeld. Horween still
is Harvard's best line breaker, but he
does not improve as an all around man
for interference and defence.
The substitutes stuck TO straight
play to-day, although Curtis made one
gain OH forward pass from Robinson.
The defence of the second string men
also braced up, and the scrub was

Yale Eleven Is Enjoying
a Bit OF Play-Spell

baseball pitcher, who has been playing
centre and fighting it out with Carl
White for that position, was tried ou;
in the scrub backfield. Schmidt, whC
has been playing first substitute left
tackle. was also tried in the backfeld
with Way. The shift made more ap-
parent the similarity, pointed out in
The Tribune, between the play OF Way
and Henry ketcham, captain Of the
Yale team of 1913.
Way and Ketcham PLAYED on the
same team. Like the former captain,
WAY has shown himself such rangy

punts with the ends and in breaking
through 70 block kicks that the coach

tunity TO show his speed to better I'D
vantage. ketcham was shifted 70 end
from centre in the middle OF the 1915
season.

with view to getting more weight in

BRICKLEY LEADS
N. Y. U. TO MAKE
STRONG PROTEST
Letter to Trinity Asks That
He Be Declared from
Election Day Game.

New York University athletic author
tiles made public yesterday letter
which has been sent TO the chairman
OF the athletic committee of Trinity
College, protesting against the playing
OF George Brickley In the Trinity
n. Y. Y. football game scheduled for
Election Day at Ohio Field.
As result of Brickley's playing
against Williams athletic relations be-
tween those two colleges were severed.
What action will be taken by the y.
Y. L. authorities II Brickley plays on
Election Day is still uncertain.
The letter to the Trinity athletic
committee follows:
I'm view Of the very pleasant rela-
tions that have existed for number
Of years between Trinity and New York
University, we write to you regarding
the playing OF Mr.. Brickley on your
team against US Election Day.
Our faculty has already enforced
very strictly the rule regarding pro-
fessional players, even as regards men
who only technically have lost their
amateur standing, and also the rule
requiring one-year residence in the
university in the case of men chang
ing from one college TO another
We have at our university ct pres
ent, indeed, men who arc not allowed
to play because Of technical violations
Of this kind We feel, therefore. that
for these reasons we are not meeting
you on equal terms.
THE question Of victory or defeat is
the last thing to be considered IN
affairs of this kind; otherwise we lose
sight Of the true ethics of college
sport. We trust, therefore, that this
letter will be received in the friendly
spirit in which It is sept, and we re-
quest, in view Of the foregoing
facts, that any professional, il there
should be any such on the team which
Trinity is 70 play In the game with
New York University, be withdrawn
=. The n. Y. U. squad went through a
light drill on Ohio Field yesterday
afternoon. Marley. the varsity quar-
terback, and Floyd Egan, right end.
were both on the field, but did not
enter into the workout. Olswang put
the first string men through snappy
signal drill, which included several new
plays which are TO be used against
Trinity.
Before the signal drill the varsity
rush line, which proved unable to keep
Haverford's forwards from breaking
through and spelling Cams punts,
came in for some hard work. The
violet will scrimmage with Fordham's
eleven at Fordham to-day.

Brown Eleven Has
Hard Dummy Practice


Providence. Oct. 26.-The Brown foot
ball candidates had hard dummy
practice this afternoon, the coaches
using two scrub elevens against the
varsity, in alternating periods. The
workout kept the first string men on
the jump from start 10 finish.
In the first half the ball was given
to the varsity, but it made little head
way against the strong defence put up
by the scrub. In the second half the
second scrub team took the ball and
bucked against the defence offered by
the varsity. There was no scoring
during the afternoon. The principal
object of the days practice was TO
teach the backs to find holes and fol
low interference and TO smooth out the
rough places in the varsity defence.
