PUNTING DUEL
DEVELOPS NEW
CADET KICKER

West Point, n. Y. Oct. 31.-The
Army men got down TO work to-day
in earnest for the Notre Dame game.
The soldiers were sent into two ses-
sions of football, the latter one last
ing well into the darkness.
The new wrinkles to be used on
Saturday against the Hoosiers were
all gone over. There was some rag
gedness at times, but on the whole
the drill was satisfactory. A punting
duel with Undertake, Vidal, Oliphant
and Cole participating, developed the
fact that Undertake is a kicker of
Promise. Just where he will fit in on
the team is the question if the coaches
decide to use him. He has been out
but little over a week and has been
used at end.
To-day he played for awhile In the
backfeld.
Vidal had a brief session at drop
kicking with splendid success. House
and Shrader were the fankers again,
neither Ford nor Redfeld having re-
covered sufficiently TO participate in
the scrimmaging.
The tackling, which was none too
good last week, got a lot of attention
to-day, and the men were drilled
painstakingly in the forming of inter
ference for the runner in bringing back
punts. Gerhardt is doing fine work
in this line.

LEHIGH CHEERED
BY THE RETURN
OF STAR PLAYER

South Bethlehem. Penn, Oct. 81
The return of Richards, end; Pons.
guard, and Halstead halfback. to the
game was the one encouraging feature
of the football drill at Lehigh to-day
The secret practice sign was hung out
again, and while the varsity was per-
fecting its new plays the scrub was
working on Muhlenberg formations in
anticipation of a hard scrimmage to-
morrow, which will most likely be the
only one called for this week.
The physical condition of the men is
improving nicely, the only man not in
toys being Mcdonald, the centre rush.
Both Pons and Robinson were used in
McDonald's place. The return of Rich
ards, who has been out with a shoulder
injury since the Lebanon Valley game,
has helped solve the end problem.
Don Markle, the old Yale halfback,
and Jim Ready had charge of the
scrub to-day.
Following punting drill, Coach
Ready called for signal practice in
order to test the backfeld and seven
linemen. AS soon as one batch was
through, il was sent several laps
around the track, so the men were
kept continually on the jump.

COLGATE SCRUB
TALES TWICE
ON THE VARSITY
Two Regular Backs Kept Out
of Scrimmage with
Injuries

Hamilton, n. Y, Oct. 31.--The Col
gate varsity was put through the frs.
hard scrimmage OF the week this after
noon on Whitnall Field in preparation
for the Yale game Saturday at New
Haven. Hubbell sid Spencer, regular
backs, are both on the hospital list and
followed the scrimmage from the side
lines. The latter has not yet recovered
from a sprained shoulder, which kept
him out Of the Springfield game.
The only injury to-day was TO Hayes,
who has beer making bid for an end
position. He sprained his ankle, and
will be out of the game for several
days. Aside from these men, all the
rest of the squad are in good physical
condition, and barring accidents Col
gate will send as well-conditioned a
team to New Haven as she did three
weeks ago TO Illinois.
In this afternoons practice Coach
Bankart sent the scrub against the
varsity after short signal drill. The
scrub took the ball with instructions
to drive play after play against the
varsity line. Failing to gain, open
formations, intermixed with straight
football, were attempted. The scrub
gained repeatedly on rushes and car
ried the ball over twice for touch
downs. Weyer, substitute fullback,
was responsible for the scrubs two
scores.
This evening the players gathered at
the 7. VI. c. A. building, and for an
hour listened TO blackboard talk from
Coaches Bankart and Huntington de-
scribing the peculiar Yale system of
offence and defence. These talks will
continue all week.

N. Y. u. WORKING
ON NEW PLAYS;
BRINN IN TOGS

Howard Cam was out in football
toys at New York University yesterday
afternoon. but he stood on the side
lines and watched his younger brother,
Teddie, in his place at left halfback.
Teddie has decided that he will play
this year, and is making a serious bid
for a place on the varsity team.
II the speed and power that he dis
played yesterday be not a fash in the
pan Teddie will make il pretty interest
ing for some OF the boys. While he is
fighting Howard will rest. for his
shoulder is sore TO the touch, and
probably will be for a couple Of days
70 come.
There is little chance that the elder
Cam will be in condition 10 play
against Bucknell. His work yesterday
vas of the lightest, and after getting
off a few punts and kicking a couple
OF goals from the field he retired. The
rest OF the team, however, worked
through long scrimmage and prac-
tised the new plays that Eustis has
devised for them.
Archie Brinn was back in toys and
played varsity centre throughout the
drill. When Howard Cam returns 20

adapted 20 play that position.

FORDHAM WORKS
HARD PREPARING
FOR GEORGETOWN
Maroon Regulars Return to
Drill Following Rest Due
to Injuries

Frank Gargan, coach of the Fordham
football eleven, is in favor of turning
back the clocks or devising some other
way of making the days last longer. He
has little less than one week to pre-
pare for the game against Georgetown.
which will be played on Fordham Field
on Election Day, and he needs every
minute of the time to assemble a ma
chine that will make the Southerners
realize that they have been in a real
battle.
After discouraging run of i'll fort
une, the Maroon regulars are Just COM
ing back, and during the next several
days they will be driven at top speed.
This is the one game of the season
that We must win if possible" said
Gargan yesterday as he watched his
ram race through a long signal drill
before plungng into a spirited scrim-
mage.
I've regard it as one of the big
games of the schedule, and if we man
age TO outscore Georgetown it will es-
tablish US among the elevens of the
East. The Southerners showed their
Pp"cl III utACdbius Ddi lHlOulu. Ou a
line through that game they are strong
er than Princeton.
albert Exendine is a good coach.
He adheres TO the Warner system, and
gets the results through it, | worked
with him, and know that all his teams
are properly grounded in football.
Moreover, all his teams play the same
fearless football that he played when a
member of the Carlisle elevens."
For the first time in week the
varsity scrimmaged, and for thirty
minutes it ploughed through the scrub.
The varsity held the ball. for it is
imperative that the attack be devel-
oped to the nth degree. Four or FIVE
touchdowns were made, and when it is
considered that the scrub line knew
what play to expect and then failed to
stop it the power of the offence was
emphasized.
Jack Cantwell, whose playing at right
end won the eye of the coaches in the
early season, was back at his post yes
terday and was going along nicely.
Braney, who was painfully injured not
long ago, was at guard, working with
May. The backfield was made up of
O'Connell, Dempsey, Erwig and Sweet
land, with Mcnamara and Golden work
ing at quarterback

SCORE
ON REGULARS in
PRACTICE GAME
Tiger Varsity Outplayed in
Scrimmage-First String
Jobs in Danger

Princeton, n. j.. Oct. 31.-The slump
which hit Princeton during the Dart
mouth game had not changed any to-
day unless to get worse.
The varsity eleven was put through
a long scrimmage against the second
team, and during the whole workout
seemed to lack the pep, decision and
power which should characterize
frst-class team. They were unable to
score against the second-string men,
and often had difficulty in making any
Roadway at all. g,
Following the scrimmage a forward
pass drill was held, but even there the
first team could not consistently get
away with their plays.
Neither Ames nor Eddy has been
in a scrimmage since Saturday. Harold
Comey was at quarterback for the hrst
team and Haaren for the second team.
By far the best playing of the day was
done by the aspirants for first string
jobs who were playing on the second
squad. They made the only touchdown
of the scrimmage when Haaren recov-
cred fumbled punt and ran half the
length Of the field for a score.
The second string backfield was
composed of Haaren, Moore. Thomas
and Georgi. Moore and Thomas were
the players to furnish the fireworks
Of the practice. Thomas ripped
through the varsity line for a gain
almost every time he was called upon
and whenever only yard or two was
needed he made it. Moore got away
for his gains on runs around end and
off tackle.
In many respects the second team
was just as strong as the first Halsey
and Latrobe in particular, playing at
the tackle positions, were just about
as good as Mclean and McGraw on
the first team.
The lineup to-day was: Highley.
left end; Mclean, left tackle; Nourse.
left guard; Gennert, centre; Bryan,
right guard; McGraw. right tackle;
Wilson, right end; Comey. quarter
back; Brown, halfback; Tibbott half
back; briggs, fullbGck.

WILLIAMS COACH
GIVES HIS MEN
HARD WORKOUT

Williamstown. Mass, Oct. 3l.-Coach
Brooks gave the Williams football
squad one of the hardest workouts Of
the season this afternoon. After a
short preliminary drill, the varsity
lined up against the scrub, and for
three-quarters of an hour the two
teams scrimmaged up and down the
field.
Particular attention is being paid to
the handling of the ball, as the
PUPPIES suddenly developed nabit of
fumbling at crucial moments undoubt-
edly lost the Columbia game.
Several shifts were made in the line
up of the varsity backheld. which was
composed of O'Brien, Mclean, Quaint
ance and Clifford. Lewis was playing
on the scrub, and Cress, the big full
back, who was hurt in the Columbia
game, was still on the side lines.
Several members of the backfield
have shown some remarkably clever
open field running during the last two
days. With Sawyer back in the line
the team is feeling confident of sue
cess against Wesleyan on Saturday.

BRYANT PILOTS
PENIS VARSITY
IN SCRIMMAGE

Philadelphia, Oct. Skinny Bry-
ant, for third time string quarter
back, piloted the Penn varsity in the
hardest scrimmsge Of the year against
the second varsity this afternoon.
Bryant, while not the most brilliant
field leader on the squad. now is con-
sidered by Coach Folwell as the man
capable of getting the best that there
is in the team out of them.
HOBBY Light was switched 20 full
back, and this probably means that as
quarterback possibility he is
through. The injury 70 Berry, which
means that he will be on the side
lines until the Dartmouth game. has
given Light his chance 10 make good.
Derr and Williams were the other
members Of the backfeld in the hard
scrimmage.
The varsity ran off its plays smooth
ly and had little trouble gaining
ground against the second eleven.
Toward the end Of practice Folwell
tested the varsity defence by giving
the second string man the ball on the
l0-ysrd line.

Second String Backs
Shine in Yale Drill
Carey and Neville Lead
Attack Which CruSheS
Third Eleven

New Haven. Oct. S1.-Only ten min
utes' scrimmaging was ordered for the
Yale eleven this afternoon, because the
hot weather, the Washington-Jeferson
game Saturday and recent practices
have worn the players down somewhat.
The varsity displayed weakness at
the start. It was held for downs after
putting the ball in play against the
third eleven. Head Coach Tad Jones,
for the sake Of developing the attack,
allowed the regulars to retain the ball.
During the rest Of the practice the
varsity awoke and stormed DR.. Bulls
eleven unchecked.
In two plays the first team scored
It's first touchdown from the 35-yard
line, Harold Carey sprinting around
end for twenty-five yards, and his COM
psnion halfback, Joe Neville, plunging
through guard for the remaining ten
yards
Putting the ball IN play at its 10-yard
line, the varsity was told 20 make an
other touchdown. The men obeyed or
ders by carrying the ball the ninety
yards wholly on line plunges. with the
exception Of quarterback end run by
TraySr Smith from the centre Of the
field for fifteen yards. Nevilel also
carried the ball over the goal line for
the second and final touchdown.
lie Gore Takes Rest
The second string halfbacks. Carey
and Neville. displayed the most effec-
tive plunging form OF the backfeld
quartet. lie Gore was laid of for the
afternoon because Of overwork, but will
be back in the scrmmaging by Thurs
day. Halfback Bob Bingham will not
return from his nome in Massachusetts
until tomorrow.
II was stated at the college infrmary
tonight that the attack OF water in
the knee sustained by Fullback Emil
Jacques would not permit him 10 play
football before next week. Guard Gait
took a rest because of slight overwork
Alfred Rosener, the former end, and
John Callahan, formerly centre, alter
mated in his position at guard to-day.
Both may be tried out in the Colgate
game next Saturday.
For the third eleven, King, guard,
and Gerald Phibin, centre, showed ex-
cellent form. Philhin is a brother Of
Steve and Holiday Philbin. two former
Yale halfbacks La Roche succeeded
Smith at quarterback late in to-day's
practice.
To-day's lineup was:
Left end. Gates: left tackle. Taft:
left guard. Black; centre, Hutchinson;
right guard. Rosener; right tackle

HARVARD TRAINS
GUNS ON TIGERS
AND THE BULLDOG
Scrub Being Equipped with
Princeton Plays-Reg-
ulars on Job

Boston, Oct 3l.-Memories Of Har-
wards big score victory over Cornell
were allowed 70 fade away this after
noon when the varsity team got down
20 cases again and started work. not
only for Princeton two weeks hence,
but for Yale. always the seasons goal.
Most Of the regulars were back on the
job behind the fence to-day and the
session mapped out by the coaches was
long one.
There was no driving football scrim-
mage, but the varsity and the substi-
tutes worked against each other all the
afternoon. while the scrub, also work
ing in secret, fitted itself TO put on
Princeton's plays when the real scrim-
maging begins.
Rush Line Intact
The rush line to-day was practically
intact. Captain Dadmun is still rest
ing his leg, Snow going over to left
guard and Clark. the regular right wing
man, being back in his usual place.
Sweetser started at right tackle, where
many think he played a better game
against Cornell than Gamer did.
Sweetser when at his best, is one of
the IbSl hBEltSSlNt JdChltS
has had in years, and it looks more
probable than ever that he and
Wheeler will be the tackles in both
the big games.
In Robinson's absence Murray ran
the team, with Bond, Thatcher and Will
cox in the backfeld. Casey worked out,
as did Flower and Hitchcock. Hor-
ween was down TO the field, but not in
playing clothes, but both Taylor and
Richards, who have been on the in
jured list, were in their football togs
and ready for work
Still Green" Team
Coach Haughton by now has decided
or the men he intends to rely on for
the games with Princeton and Yale. and
Harvard henceforth will work along
the usual lines. The team, however,
is still regarded as green despite its
victory over Cornell, and Haughton and
his assistants regard their task this
fall as the hardest in years.
Princeton's small score against Dart
mouth is not being taken as a final
indication of what the Jerseymen may
be expected to show against Harvard,
and last years close game has not been
lost sight Of. particularly as the Tigers
have most of their veterans in line for
Rush's second season. while Harvard's
building had 10 be from much new
material which, however, has been de-
veloping fast.
