LEHIGH BETTER
MENTALLY THAN
ONE WEEK AGO

South Bethlehem, Penn, Oct. a.
Lehigh, with stiff signal practice and
other light work, finished up work for
the Catholic University game to-mor-
row. 1t is an assured fact that the
Brown and White players will 60 into
to-morrow's struggle with a quite DIFF
ferent mental attitude from that they
showed in the contest against Lebanon
Valley.
AS far as physical conditions are con-
cerned, things might be better. The
hard scrmmages this week produced
many slight injuries that have not yet
healed. Halsted will not be able TO
take the halfback position tomorrow.
Pursell may start there, If Coach
Ready does not decide to start him at
quarterback. Pons, who has been out
OF the game for a week or so, is again
in fit condition TO play, and tomorrow
may see him filling one Of the guard
positions.
Now that Richards will be unable to
play one of the ends, the other choice
will fall between Quist and Gulich. Al
though Mcdonald looks fairly good,
McCarty is again in ft shape and will
I'll left end II Pons resumes his guard
position the other will be filled by one
Of Johnson, Ayrault and Mccarthy.
Tate and Good will be the tackles.
The real lineup will not be known
before the game, as the practice to-
day was one in which there was a con-
tnual changing Of men, in order 10
make all letter perfect. Lehigh an
ticipates a very hard game with the
Washington lads tomorrow, but is
hopeful Of victory.

W. and J. in Snappy Drill
at Van Cortland Park

better part of another hour, and then
Metzger called a halt and the team
went back 10 the Hotel Cumberland,
where headquarters were established.
If any line can be had on team from
the manner in which il runs through
signals. then the Pennsylvania eleven
will give the Bulldog a fight every min
ute Of the game. In weight and size
Metzger's men will not measure up to
Yale, but they are in perfect condition
and the confidence inspired by the won
derful showing in the last three years
will count for something.
The left side of the Washington and
Jefferson line will probably. hold Its
own with Yale. Whitehill, Henry and
Captain Wimberly are real football
players. Henry is a big, barrel chested
individual, with great powers Of endur-
ance. The other fellows are not so big
but-they win fight all the time, that is
certain. The backheld is light, too
light for a college team almost II
averages about 1916 pounds.
One of the features OF the practice OF
the eleven was a phantom scrimmage.
The way in which the Yale plays were
broken up, theoretically, was a shame.
The boys believe they will do as well
on the field.
Washington and jefferson will take
the field as follows: Whitehill, left
end; Henry, left tackle; Captain Vim
berly. left guard; Guy, centre; Drew,
right guard; Carroll, right tackle;
Tressell. right end; Stobbs, quarter
back; Nuss, left halfback; Ruble, right
halfback. and McCreight, fullback.

COLUMBIA SET
FOR HARD TILT
: WITH WILLIAMS
Despite Injuries, Blue and White
Able to Withstand Special
Style of Foe
By BRIGGS

Captain JEFF Healy will lead the foot
ball eleven of Columbia University
into action against the Williams Col
lege team at South Field this after
noon, prepared for bitter fight The
Blue and White will enter the game
handicapped by injuries. Not the least
considerable of these is wrenched
knee which will keep WILDER, the big
tackle, on the side lines. Hal Vollmer,
the champion swimmer, who has shown
so,ne ability as a line player during
the last week, will abide on the left
of Cleveland to hold firm the line. The
remainder of the frst-string men Will
start the game.
After q week OF furious scrimmag-
ing, Metcalf gave the men the GUS
tomary light workout before a game.
A long signal and formation drill kept
the men busy for some time, and then
Cochran kept the backfield men busy
catching his twisting spirals. There
were few fumbles, and the boys got
under way quickly and came up the
field with real speed. If Cochran does
as we'll under fire as he did in the
practice Yesterday Williams will make
little ground in any kicking duel that
may develop.
Joe Brown will start the game at
fullback. He has had varied career
on the gridiron. Starting at centre, he
was shifted to the backtield, under
stress of circumstances, and placed at
halfback. He showed such marked
ability as a line bucker, however, that
his place was changed again, this time
to fullback. He is holding his own
quite as easily at this place as any
other. Football is his game, it would
seem, and any old place is good little
place for him.
Columbia is reasonably confident of
the outcome. The scrub team, equipped
with Williams formations, failed to
pierce the line in the scrimmages dur
ing the last several days, and if right
tackle can be cared for successfully
Metcalf believes he can win. Hegeman,
who bids fair to develop into a star
kicker, may have his chance TO shoot
at the goal posts before the game is
over. In practice yesterday he scored
from the forty-yard mark several
times.
Columbia will take the field as fol-
lows: Kennedy, left end; Healy, left
tackle; Donaldson, left guard; Gold
berg, centre; Cleveland, right guard;
Vollmer, right tackle; Dunn, right
and; Raimondo, quarterback; Munroe,
left halfback; Cochran, right halfback;
Brown, fullback.

New Haven. Oct. 27.-Ysle expects a
hard game with Washington and Jeher-
son here tomorrow, and victory Will
rest on the ability of the Els to solve
the forward passing game Of the visi-
tors. it is felt by the Yale coaches.
Yale's practice this week, as regards
defensive play, has been an attempt 10
perfect the teams defence against the
peculiar forward losses taught the
pennsylvanians during the last three
years by Coach Bob Folwell and this
fall by his successor. Sol Metzger.
For three seasons Yale has been I'M
able TO close its annual game with the
Washington and jefferson combination
with the score in the Blues favor, but
Yale undergraduates tonight offered
odds of to that the Ellis score would
out-total that of the visiting eleven to-
morrow afternoon. Yales heavier line
is banked upon to get the jump on the
vistors' Yet the quiet, short, tantaliz-
ing forward passes OF the viSl-
tors have been unsolyed for three sea-
sons, and Yale hope of success to-mor-
row lies in solving them.
Sol Metzger. the new coach of the
visitors, is a prime favorite at Yale,
and it is felt here that he will present
we'll drilled eleven, despite its light
weight.
A feature of the game will be the APP
pearance at Yale Field. as the guests
OF the football management, of the I'd
Connecticut Infantry, which will parade
here tomorrow, and then be the guests
of New Haven citizens. The Yale Ar
tillery Battalion will take part in the
parade.

bumps to which the Yale eleven has

RUTGERS LEAVES
THE OLD RARITAN
TO MEET BROWN

New Brunswick, n. j., Oct. 27.--
Homer Hazel, the Rutgers fullback,
started with the Scarlet squad for
Providence this evening for the Brown
game there, but IL is doubtful whether
he has sufficiently recovered from the
stomach trouble which attacked him
yesterday 10 allow him 20 get into The
game. He is the only regular who is
not sure 10 start, Kendall, tackle, hav-
ing recovered from his injuries.
The last practice here before the
game was held behind locked gates.
Nothing could be learned about what
Sanford is planning 10 spring on the
Brown eleven, but he is sure to use his
new multiple kick as big element OF
his attack. He also has been keeping
lot Of new plays under cover for this
game.
Rutgers will 20 into the gane with
the regular line The backfcld should
be able 10 show its great driving
ability big squad Of substitutes

also were about 100 rooters who made

watched, as these two will both be sent
to the front trench under fire.
If the Princeton line can break down
the Hanover forwards, there is enough
speed in Princeton's offence to run up
a healthy score. But if the Dartmouth
forwards hold their own Princeton Will
need a stronger punch than she had on
display against Tufts.
Nassau this season is picked by many
10 20 through the year unbeaten, re-
suit that can be obtained only by
greater backfeld power than the Tiger
has had for some time. To-day's game
with Dartmouth should offer at least a
section of the answer, although Coach
Rush isn't likely to use any more stun
than he is forced TO use with Harvard
scouts watching his play.

N. Y. u. ELEVEN
OFF FOR GAME
WITH UNION
Eustis Hopes for Victory Over
Schenectady Team-Late
Practice

The New York University football
team left for Schenectady last night to
meet the eleven of Union College on
the gridiron there this afternoon. De-
spite the fact that the garnet-clad
team defeated Columbia last week,
Dick Eustis, head coach of New York,
is confident that his charges can come
through and win. So he said last night
before the team departed on the Hud-
son River boat.
Before leaving the Violet ran through
the usual signal and formation drill,
with never a sign of even phantom
scrimmaging. The past several days
have been fraught with action for New
York University, and practice games
with the scrub have been everyday oc-
currences.
Archie Brinn, the former High School
Of Commerce star, will start the game
at centre for New York, and will play
against two former team mates, Hal
Wittner and Harry Foster, who are
winning fame at Union.
There are few of the regulars on
the New York squad who are a bit
under the weather, but for the most
part the squad is in good condition.
Howard Cam, the big left halfback, is
kicking in remarkable style, and he will
take care Of Captain Rosekranz if a
punting duel develops. Cam, more
over, is proficient as a drop kicker.
Bernstein may prove troublesome Gus
toner in plunging the line, and Jack
Weinheimer has few superiors as q
broken field runner.
New York University will probably
line up as follows: McCulloch, left
end; Hoffman, left tackle; House, left
guard; Brinn, centre; Ponterey, right
guard; Sokolower. right tackle; Egan,
right end; Mckenzie, quarterback,
Cam, left halfback; Weinheimer, right
halfback, and Bernstein, fullback.

If Hanover Line Holds
Tigers May Find Hard
Going To-day
By GRANTLAND RICE

Princeton and Dartmouth become in
volyed in their annual carnival this
afternoon in one Of the big October
games Of the year Before laying siege
to Nassau Coach Cavanaugh stopped
in New York yesterday to break the
march and incidentally to put his
SQUAD through a final romp at the Polo
Grounds.
There was evidence in this last Dart
mouth practice that the Hanover troop
was intent upon making up for last
Saturdays poor showing, but there was
also evidence that Dartmouth's line
was in for a hard rub against the Tiger
forwards, who have the advantage both
in weight and experience.
Dartmouth is not what you might
call reeking with confidence over the
result Of the game, but Cavanaugh pc
Heves that if his line can hold as ne
hopes il will his veteran backheld WILL
make AT least an even fight of it all the
way through.
Main Hope in Backield
Dartmouth's main hope is in the work
of her backfeld. In Gerrish, Duhamel
and Thielscher, Cavanaugh has three
dependable veterans, while In Canneli
at quarter he has another entry OF
more than average promise. This quar-
tet looks sufficiently able TO bother q
strong defence, and strong defence Is
precisely what It will meet In the
Palmer Stadium to-day.
Thielscher, who will do Dartmouth
the realm, but when at his best is
star. In possession OF one Of his good
afternoons he will give Eddie briggs
enough serious competition to keep the
Tiger star on the jump.
The Hanover line doesn't look to be
as heavy as oldtime Dartmouth for
wards, but yesterday ii showed flashes
of speed in charging that. if continued
through to-day's game. will get some
where to a certainty. Merrill, at guard,
will be the only absentee, and his place
will be acceptably filled.
II has been Dartmouth's average Gus
tom in the past to play one OF her
ragged games against Princeton, after
a fine start earlier IN the season. But
Cavanaugh believes his men had all
their bad football thoroughly elimi-
mated against Georgetown last week,
and To-Day ne Is lOOhluS AVA NSNANN
change.
Tigers In Trim
Down at Princeton Rush has his team
IN first class shape. The Tiger coach
hasn't brought his squad along quite
as rapidly as he did last year, but the
men have come far enough to give
q fine line on what they expect to
show against Harvard and Yale. AS
Princeton has q comparatively easy
game next Saturday, Rush can afford
10 send his men along at lively clip
this afternoon.
Princeton expects TO win, ano tne
odds ors all in her favor. The Tiger
defence has been tried and not found
wanting. 1t has both speed and power
Princeton's offence has enough speed,
but it remains TO be observed just how
much of punch it may carry. kush Is
still trife uncertain as to the final
choice for his quarterback, so the work
of Ames and Eddy will be closely

Harvard Asks Better
Odds in Cornell Game

through q few simple evolutions, then
amused themselves by trying for field
goals. To show that his foot and eye
were still working in perfect CO.
ordination DR.. Sharpe himself booted a
couple over the bars from the bO-yard
lire.
The Ithacans arrived early this morn
ing, accompanied by pet bear, which
did not approve Of Boston. The bear
answers to the name OF Touchdown IL
when he is in the mood. The bears
spirits seemed to be dropping until
Icy Kaplan, the famous photographer,
tickled his feet with a feather. This
delicate attention put the bear in good
humor, and the change for the better
in his demeanor was taken as good
omen by the Cornell team.
The coaches of both teams were nor
mally lugubrious to-day, which is a
certain sign that they feel their teams
to be in fairly fit condition for the
meet tomorrow. Man for man, the
Ithacans looked the more fit and formi-
dable.
Pee Dee is so anxious to win over
Cornell tomorrow that he probably will
use a few tricks, which otherwise might
have been saved for the arch foe in
New Haven. The extraordinary eve-of-
battle drill was partly occupied in per-
fecting a few of these maneuvres, but,
tricks or no tricks, the Cornell team
for tomorrow looks to be the better Of
the two. The Ithacans should win by
a more decisive score than last year,
despite the fact that the Cornell squad
got late start this year.
The Harvard men have their alibi
ready. Their best tackles, Taylor and
Gamer, are out, both of them IN the
casualty ward. Some of the most eff
fective drives in the Cornell repertory
are directed against the tackles posi-
tions. Hence. Sharpe's troops should
drive many a wedge through the posi-
tions which will be held by the substi-

West Point. N. Y, Oct. 27.-The
Army Is all ready to take revenge on
Villanova tomorrow for the beating
which the collegians handed them a
year ago The cadets. however, are not
at all optimistic Of holding the visitors
scoreless, as McGuckin's deadly drop
kicking is highly respected. The sol
diers will be satisfied to get away with
a victory.
The Army coaches will probably use
many substitutes throughout the bat
tie. such men as Stokes at centre. Tim
berlake at tackle, Merrillat at quarter
back and Writer'S and Maloney, backs,
receiving an opportunity to show their
merit. The soldiers had the varsity
eleven intact and strong reserve team

sion of defensive work for the air line

Edward Casey of Natick, Quite Some
Troublesome Football Person

The Mahan Of this years team bears
the euphonious name Of Casey, his
Christian name being Eddie. He comes
from the quaint little burg of Natick,
which has produced many a crimson
gridiron idol for Harvard. He is not
much of kicker, Mr. Edward Casey, of
Natick, but he is most troublesome
person getting down the field with the
ball tucked under his arm. Also he is
a streak of lightning on shooting
through on skin tackle plays.
BY the time the Harvard team Is
ready TO invade New Haven it is ex-
pected that Casey will supply the ach-
ing void left by the departure OF Ma
han in every department but the kick
ing. He attracted considerable atten-
tion on the freshman team last year
until he was injured In practice and
forced TO retire for the season.
Lineup for To-day
The Harvard lineup as 1t has been
tentatively announced for tomorrow is
as follows:
Coolidge, left end; Wheeler, left
tackle; Dadmun, left guard; Harries,
centre; Snow, right guard; Sweetzer,
right tackle; Harte, right end; Robin
son, quarterback; Thatcher, left half
back; Horween, right halfback, and
Casey, fullback.
The lineup Of tho Cornell team as
announced to-day by DR.. Sharpe is as
follows:
lander, left end; Gillies, left tackle;
Miller. left guard; Carry, centre; An
derson, right guard; Jewett. right
tackle; Ryerson, right end; Shiverick,
Quarterback; Benedict, left hal back;
Hoffman, right halfback, and Mueller,
fullback.
Coach Sharpe Is fairly well satisfied
with his lineup, with the exception OF
the end positions. With the exception
Of the fanking positions, the lthacans
advance line is regarded as practically
impregnable for any team in the East
ern division. The ends have been COM
ing along well. though. Tomorrow
will tell just how far they have i'm
proved.
Harvard II Strong
In this department tho Harvard team
is particularly strong. Both Coolidge
and Harte, the Crimson nagmen, are
three year warriors and have proved
their ability. To equalize, IL there is
any possibility OF equalizing, Conch
Sharpe is particularly sure OF his
tackles.
On the table strength OF the two
