Princeton, n. j., Oct. 25.-There was
no let-up in the Princeton practice to-
day, but instead of having regular
game the scrimmage was taken in hand
by the coaches and special plays tried
over and over.
The defensive work of the varsity
was given long trial against the sec
ond team, which was allowed to keep
the ball regardless of ground gained
The heavy first string forwards were
able to stop most OF the attacks
directed against them, and most OF the
gains were made on long runs around
the ends.
Coney was responsible for most OF
these end runs. This is his last year
at Princeton, but the first time he has
played football here. He has every
essential that goes to make up Il star
quarterback except weight, and IL he
were twenty pounds heavier his speed,
clean handling of the ball and perfect
use of the stiff arm would surely earn
him place on the team.
As the big games get closer and
closer it looks each day, from the at
tention that is being given TO kicking,
that Princeton's will be largely n kick
ing game this year. For several years
the Tigers have always had a good
punter, and have followed the plan of
always kicking when in their own ter
ritory.
This year Tibbott seems 10 have
mastered the art OF drop-kicking so
that he can be counted upon to boot
the ball over the goal from almost
anywhere within the forty-ysrd line.
Those last yards are always the
hardest for team to cover. and II
Tibbott can make II three points when
the team reaches the thirty-yard line
there will be little use TO drive the
remaining distance. This afternoon he
and Brown were kept ut catching punts
for one hour. so that both ends Of the
kicking game were being attended 10.
The scrimmags was preceded by n
long dummy scrlmmage for the double
purpose of signal practice and the elimi'
nation OF fumbles. AZ the practice to-
day not a single varsity man dropped
the bail, which speaks well for the
hard work which has been given BY tho

w. AND j. WORKS
IN A DRIZZLE
FOR YALE GAME

Washington, Penn, Oct. 25.-Coach
Sol Metzger drove the w. and j.
varsity through cold. drilling rain
this afternoon in the final hard practice
IN the PREPARATION for the game with
Yale at New Haven on Saturday. Every
regular is in good physical condition,
but the men have not been showing the
form desired by Metzger.
The players reported at Hays Hall
tonight and for two hours listened to
Coaches Metzger and Wesbecher de-
scribe Yale's system of defence and
offence. The ". and j. squad, twenty
two strong, will leave Washington to-
morrow evening at 6:40 o'clock and will
be accompanied by a small number of
rooters. Coach Metzger refused to
give out the personnel of his squad
this evening.
According to present arrangements,
the Red and Black athletes will arrive
in New York Friday morning and will
be quartered at the Cumberland Hotel.
Friday afternoon they will practise in
Van Cortlandt Park and that evening
will continue through to New Haven.
The lineup to start Saturdays contest
will be as follows:
Left end, Tresse; left tackle, Henry;
left guard, Captain Wimberly; centre,
Guy; right guard, Drew; right tackle,

Fordham Football Squad Kept Busy
For Hours by Gdrgan and Aids

Perkins, who has been first string
guard and centre, also confined his
efforts to running through signals.
Before the short tussle Coach
Gargan gave the ends, guards and
tackles drill in picking out and
tacklng players, while the backs re-
ceived the kicks and attempted to run
them back in the punting drill.
!, O'Connell and Dempsey showed inn
provement in drop-kickng. Neither
player has been called upon to attempt
a field goal in regular game, but 1t
is likely either or both will be tested
under fire on Saturday.
No new plays were tried out yester-
day. Coach Gargah had Matty Golden
at quarter, and the Brooklyn lad was
ordered to use only straight line plays.
The absence of Huggenvig at lett
guard sent BrAney to this position
from end, while Murphy took Cor
coran's place at left end.
Fordham may be forced TO face the
PENNSYLVANIA Military team with a
patched lineup. as Coach Gargan will
not risk starting Corcoran, O'Connell
or Mcnamara unless they are recovered
from their injuries.

N. Y. u. REGULARS
FAIL TO REPORT
FOR PRACTICE
Eustis Works for Union Game
Minus Part of His
Team

Football practice at New York Uni
versity yesterday was hard and furi-
Gus, but Dick Eustis, head coach, was
none too we'll pleased with the squad.
= Howard Cam, Floyd Egan, Jordan,
Hoffman and Van Lote did not report
for one reason or another, and with
the Union game looming up for Satur-
day Eustis held that all players should
have at least come out and worked, If
ever so lightly. However, the work
progressed. Joe Beers, the Dartmouth
star of another year, took the line men
in hand again and reported progress.
Captain Bernstein is improving as
the season advances. He worked
through with the new plays for the
Union game nicely, and on several oc-
casions broke loose for long runs.
Mackenzie dashed through a broken
field for eighty yards and touch
down, and JackWeinheimer showed ex-
ceptional speed and skill in picking his
openings to advance the ball.
Hardwick. the youngster who showed
so well on Tuesday, was very much in
evidence again yesterday. He played
defensive halfback and made some fine
tackles in the open. This boy looks
! like a real find.
Joe Esquirol broke into the game as
varsity tackle for few minutes yes
terday. Joe's playing won the eye of
everybody on the field. 1t is not al
ways that one sees such unusual sights.
The varsity will play practice game
this afternoon with an all-star team.
Dick and Elmer Eustis, Joe Beers and
several other former stars Of college
teams will play against New York.

The Fordham football squad was
driven through two hours drill OF
severe work yesterday. A ten-mlnute
scrimmage, played in semi-darkness'
wound up the weeks hardest pro
gramme. All Of the practice was held
behind closed gates.
Although preparing for the George
town game on Election Day, Coach
Gargan is looking forward to a hard
contest with Pennsylvania Military
College on Saturday.
81 Pauxtis, who played end on Penn
sylvania's famous 1907 team with Bob
Folwell, Hunter. Scarlet and other
stars, has succeeded Bill Hollenback, i
member Of that same eleven, as coach
Of the military team. Injuries have
retarded the teams progress, but
Pauxtis will have his strongest lineup
in Saturdays game.
Although Jack Cantwell was the only
regular unable TO don his football toys,
O'Connell, fullback; Corcoran, end, and
Mcnamara, the dashing quarterback,
did not get into the scrimmage. 81

Columbia Is Driven Hard
For the Williams Game

the faculty this fall, and is out be
cause of scholarship. The other three
are associated with Metcslf on the
coaching staff.
The veterans surely proved that they
have forgotten nothing Of the game.
Stimson stood the varsity on its ears
couple of times and made long runs.
One Of his journeys carried him from
one side of the field to the other before
he finally scored. Teller handled his
team nicely, and afforded some mighty
good practice for the varsity.
Hal Vollmer, the champion swimmer,
played in Wilber's place at tackle, and
gave a good account of himself. Voll-
mer is a fast charging, hard tackling
individual, of wide range and consider
able ability in diagnosing plays. With
another year he probably would make
name for himself.
While the varsity was working out
at one end of the field the De Witt
Clinton High School eleven and the
freshman team locked horns at the
other end. Clinton has good looking
team, with world of fighting spirit
and knowledge of the ground work Of
football. Dill COOhb CohCH VI Iho NV
and Black, has brought his eleven along
slowly. building carefully step by step,
until he has fashioned fast moving
machine. The boys had no trouble in
piercing the Columbia line, and scored
several touchdowns.
Captain Walter Hoving, centre Of the
Clinton team, is playing we'll and carry
ing the rest Of the team along at fast
clip. Eisenberg is another Clinton man
who is doing nicely.
In the early scrimmage between the
varsity and scrub team Joe Brown and
Cochran showed to good advantage.
]. Rosen is developing into a pretty
capable sort of quarterback. He han
dies his men clevery and seems to get
the most out of them.

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-What Coach
Folwell regarded as the most satisfac-
tory practice Of the season was held on
Franklin Field this afternoon. In a
speedy drill, lasting half an hour, tho
varsity team pleased their mentor by
handling the ball without one tumble.
The players went through their sig
nails without once miscueing, while the
punting of Berry and Quigley measured
up TO their best previous efforts.
There Is still one wish have" said
Folwell while the drill was in progress,
"and that is that we have a clear day
for the Pittsburgh game. The Red and
Blue team has not played on a muddy
field thus far this season. and IL is i'm
possible 10 tell whether we or Pitts

Army's Cullum Hall cadet team won
from Fordhsm Prep here to-day by a
score Of 70 0. The Cadets outplayed

eept In the last few minutes Of play,
when the Prep lads had the ball on the
Army's 22-yard mark after fne run
Of forty yards by Bannon. who inter
cepted a forward pass, the soldiers

The maroon players wasted an op-
portunity 70 score by poor work with
the forward pass at this point and ali

West Point, n. Y, Oct. 25.-Timber-
lake, a husky, raw-boned chap. who is
O giant in stature, came out for the
Army eleven to-day. and was in at
tackle on. the scrub. He is veteran

ton, played together to-day for the
