APPEL DEFEATS
RILEY IN MATCH
ON SQUASH COURT

Armin w. Riley, Princeton Club cap
tain, and third in the national rank
ing, was defeated by John W. Appel,
jr., of the Harvard Club, in the semi
final round of the annual fall scratch
tournament of the National Squash
Tennis Association at the Princeton
Club yesterday by score OF ID,
l5-9.
Appel played a 'cross-court game,
driving his ball hard and low around
the court, and Riley was on the defen-
sive throughout. with the exception of
the early part of the second game.
Trailing by 50, Riley then rallied and
evened the score at Sail. Appel soon
got his attack working smoothly and
gathered seven more points while Riley
collected one.
In the lower half Harry d. Buckley. of
the Columbia Club, did not have TO
extend himself 70 defeat Milton l.. Cor
nell, a clubmate, by a score OF 15-3,
1914. Buckley featured his playing
with many kills" above the telltale
and some sensational gets off the back
wall. Cornell improved his play and
made it l3-all in the second contest,
but Bulkley's superior all around play
ing was too much for him.
Appel and Bulkley will meet in the
final round tomorrow afternoon at $3.50
o'clock.

PENN TEAM WORKS
LIKE WELL OILED
GRID MACHINE

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-The Red and
Blue football team went through its
final practice for the Cornell game this
afternoon like a we'll oiled machine. Out
at the Whitemarsh Country Club, where
it is being groomed for the Ithacans,
the Pennsylvania players handled 1859
passes on soggy ground and with a wet
ball. without making tumble
Of this number 102 were long passes
and 81 short. Folwell was highly
pleased with the work Of his charges,
and after this exhibition he sent them
to their rooms to prepare for the meet
ing of the varsity club tonight.
The meeting of the varsity club at
Whitemarsh tonight is expected to put
pep" into the Red and Blue warriors.
Stars of other days will be there to talk
over old gridiron times and TO spur the
players on to do their best. Members
Of the team will meet Carl S. Will
Jams, Roy Mercer, Vincent Stevenson,
Jack Minds, Bill Hollenbeck, Frank
Sommer, Hunter Scarlet, George II.
Brooke, Louis Young, Al Journeay, Dick
Marshall and many other great players
Of past Pennsylvania football history.
Graves Williams, the Penn. halfback,
left the university hospital this after
noon and will play tomorrow in Fol-
wells backfeld if any of the varsity
backs are injured.

The coaches who have secuted the

Br0wn Has Hard Game
When It Meets Colgate
Coaches Not OvercOnfi-
dent About Contest with
Hamilton Eleven

Providence, Nov. 29.-The Brown
football squad ran through signals for
the last time this afternoon in the pres
ence Of practically the whole student
body and the eleven is all ready for
Colgate in the morning.
Interest in the game is intense in this
city and Andrews Field will not be able
TO hold the number that wish to attend
the game.
Coach Robinson and his assistants,
Buck Whittemore and Earl Sprackling,
are not any too optimistic over the out
come of the game, although they feel
that Brown has better than an even
chance to win. Coach Whittemore, who
has secuted the Colgate team this fall,
has advised the Brown players that
they are going to meet an eleven even
better than Harvard or Yale. With a
dry field the prospects look good TO- a
Brown victory, but tonight the condi-
tions are not very encouraging.
Pollard was never in better shape
than he is tonight, stated Coach Robin
son, and practically the whole team Is
in AL shape, the coaches having had
wonderful success in keeping the men
on edge.
No new plays will be used tomorrow,
for. as matter of fact, il was not nee
essary in either of the big games this
fall to use all that the eleven has up
its sleeve.
Hillhouse this afternoon was punting
better than at any time this fall, many
of his kicks going over sixty yards.
Judging from the lineup in to-day's
signal drill the backfield tomorrow will
start just as in the Harvard game, with
Jemail, Pollard, Hillhouse and Purdy
filling the backfeld positions, Devitalis
back at his regular position at tackle
and Ward substituting, while it is al
most certain that Conroy and Amman
will get into the game at some time
during play.

SANFORD SHIFTS
GARRETT TO END
FOR w. & J.CONTEST

New Brunswick, N. j., Nov. 2e.-In
last effort to solve the problem OF
weak ends which has bothered him all
year, Coach Sanford, Of the Rutgers
eleven, shifted Garrett, the big Indian
star, from guard to end, to get the
benefit of his fierce tackling. Bursch
viii replace Garrett at guard in the
game with Washington and Jefferson
at the Polo Grounds.
The Indians tsckling has been one
OF the features of the Rutgers defence
all season. On the defence he played
in the backheld, and his work on the
secondary line was one OF the most I'm
portant factors in keeping the Rutgers
goal clear. Besides being heavy and
hard tackler, however, Garrett Is as
fast as any man on the team, and San
ford believes that he will prevent the
long runs around the ends that have
often been worked against Rutgers this
year.
He will replace Wittpenn, who has
been shifted TO the backheld on account
OF his forward passing ability. and
this indicates that Sanford plans to 20
aAbci anu Win lhtlI
ty, the open game. Elliott will play the
other halfback position, and Whitehill
will start at fullback.
The feature Of the lineup is that
Sanford does not expect TO use his reg
ular backfeld until the second half Of
the game. Hazel will play guard in the
first two periods, but Wallace and
Bracher will be kept on the sidelines.
oil f. d
the second half, the Scarlet coaches arr
confident that the Rutgers attack will
be well-nigh irresistible.
Every man on the squad except Kelly
is now in the best of condition physi-
cally. Kelly broke his wrist in the
Brown game. but IL is expected that
he will be able to play if it is neces-
sary TO use him, thus giving Sanford
FIVE frst-string halfbscks. Wittpenn
and Elliott, who have been playing end
this year, are really halfbacks, having
played there last season.
Sanford did not hold any scrimmhge
to-day, but he had his men out on
the field all afternoon, and the gather
ing shades OF night failed TO break up
the work. The team ran through sig
nal practice, trying out all the new
plays mat Will De sprung on W. and j.
Visitors were barred from the field, and
