showed a lot of ginger after its week S

The men who played against Brown
all got into the scrimmage. Taylor

tackle at New Haven.
Both Teams Score
The varsity and substitutes both
scored this afternoon, the subs get
ting a touchdown when the varsity
fumbled near it's goal line. Robinson
kicked short field goal, and Casey
crossed the subs line on a long end
run. Phinney recovered a tumble on
the subs 15-yard line and Minot

OF line plays.
Thacher, Horween and Casey all
looked good to-day. and will be the

and there will be no shifts at ends.

FEW INJURIES in
MICHIGAN GAME
FOR PENN TEAM

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20.-A carnival OF
noise erected the University of Penn
svlvania football team on Its return
,o-dav from Ann Arbor. The staid col
Iece buildings, overrun by 5000 tri-
umphant students with comman-
deered hurdy -gurdy, horns, drums, pie
mates and lusty lungs, were rocked to
their foundations when the team ar
rived.
Head Coach Folwell, in commenting
upon Saturdays victory over Michigan,
said: "We expected to win. Every
man we put into the game stayed un-
I'll the finish. 1t was a game exhibit
ton all the way through. All the men
came through the battle in good shape,
except Bert Bell. WHO has muscle

Captain Matthews.
"None of these injuries is serious.
though, and all three will be IN good
shape again by Saturday. Matthews
and Henning spent the week end III

The captain will get back tonight OF
tomorrow. but Henning has permis-
sion to remain home until Wednes-

The second team and scrubs had a
light scrimmage on Franklin fleld TINS
afternoon, but no hard work Whatever
was INDUCED in. None OF the varsity
men was on the field. They were given
a holiday after hearing lecture oy
Coach Folwell.
Folwell announced that secret prac-
tice in preparation for the game with
West Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday
would start tomorrow.
The students who made the trip 10

way, for they made pool and backed
the team at even money, winning close
to $4,000.

MIDDIES CHEER
AS THEIR ELEVEN
AIMS FOR ARMY

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. 2o.-The Naval
Academy squad began its Anal prepare
tious to-day for the Army game at the
end OF the week. Practice was secret,
EXCEPT for members Of the Navy con-
tingent, and practically the whole bat
TALON Of midshipmen was present, the
students encouraging the team by yells
and songs. This will be continued dur
ing the week.
The team will practice here Tuesday
and Wedne sday afternoons and Thurs
day morning, and will have an oppor-
tunity of working out on the Polo
Grounds on Friday and perhaps Satur-
day morning.
il is fairly we'll decided that, barring
accident or some unexpected develop
ment of ability on the part Of some one
else. the backfield which will commence
Saturdays game will comprise: Quar-
terback. Whelchel; halfbacks, Perry
and Ingram; fullback, Roberts. All
of these are members OF the new fourth
class, and only Roberts, who played on
Colgate, has had experience on col
lege team.
There is no doubt that each mem
Der Of the quartet possesses much foot
ball ability, but one OF the dangers
which the Navy will have TO face is
that the youngsters will lose their
heads.
The officials Of the service game will
be: Referee: William Langdon, Trim
ity; umpire, 7. W. Murphy, Brown;
linesman, Mr.. Marshall, Harvard, and
field judge, Mr.. Evans, Williams.
