Tom Ready was still busy to-day cor

cropped out last Saturday.

backfleld men were spurred on to much
quicker starting. The physical condi-

TO nearly normal as result Of the
last two days rest still Ready hcsi-
tsted to call for a scrimmage of var
sity men. He contented himself with
calling for an unusually long signal
practice, using various combinations
of men, and then devoted some time
TO working out new plays which may
be used against Lebanon Valley, an
opponent that Lehlgh realizes will not
be easy, In view of the kind Of game
put up against Villanova.

MEN DRILL BY

West Point, n. Y, Oct. 17.-Indoor
practice under electric light and the
use Of ghost" ball featured the
workout of the Army eleven to-day. 1t
was so late when the cadets finished
their military drill that the football
men were sent to the big riding hall,
where they drilled in the tanbark.
The practice was naturally slowed up
somewhat, but the coaches were pleased
with the improvement shown in the
handling of the ball and in the forward
passing game Ford and Mullins were
at the wing positions. House was in
at left end for a time. Murrill, who
worked at quarter a year ago before
Gerhardt doomed so formidably, piloted
the varsity team. The backfeld COM

latter being shifted again from end.
Vidal is expected to do some heavy
work tomorrow, and II his ankle con-
tinues to improve he will get in against
Trinity on Saturday.
Captain McEwan was in toys, but
did nothing but the lightest kind of
work. The white ball was used in the
overhead plays, both Gerhardt and
Murrill tossing well to the ends and
backs.
Ford was handicapped in his punting
height because of the conditions under
which the drill was being held.

O'NEILL MAKES
GOOD SHOWING
AGAINST DILLON

Jack Dillon, the so-called man
killer" did not have such an easy time
as he had anticipated in outponting
Tim O'Neill, the Chicago boxer, in a
ten-round bout at the Broadway Sport
ing Club, Brooklyn, last night. While
decisively beaten, the Windy City man
made most favorable impression
against the fiery Dillon.
0'Neill proved able to assimilate con-
siderable punishment, and although
Dillon tried his mightiest to reach a
vital spot he invariably found his
shifty opponent partly blocking the
blow. Dillon concentrated most Of his
attack to the body, usually working
close to his rival to let fly innumerable
uppercuts and hard rights to the head
O'Neill occasionally landed lefts and
rights, but they did not worry Dillon.
O'Neill carried the issue TO Dillon
when the bout opened, but once under
way Dillon could not be stopped. As
early as the fifth round billions hard
smashes had begun to leave their marks
on ONeill's face and he bled freely.
In the sixth Dillon hit his opponent
at will, paying particular attention 20
the kidneys and body. The seventh
round brought about Night rally on
the part Of O'Neill. After being forced
to cover several times he sprang at Dill
lon like an enrsged tiger. He forced
him TO the ropes twice, with the crowd
cheering him on msdly, and actually
compelled the Hoosier boxer to cover
up. With one of his hard rights O'Neill
made slight cut over Dillon's right
eye.
During to remaining three rounds
O'Neill stood up we'll under Dillon's
hard punches.
