FORDHAM WORKS
HARD FOR GAME
ON ELECTION DAY
Coach Gargan Guarding His
Men Against Trick
Plays
By BRIGGS

Hard work is the slogan at Ford
ham these days in the big drive for
the Georgetown game on Election
Day. Yesterday Coach Frank Gargan
ritted the varsity and scrub elevens
in a thirty-minute fray, which was
the third scrimmage of the week for
the Maroon eleven.
Perkins, the husky lad from SYRIA
cuse, who has been alternating az
guard and centre, was able TO do his
first hard work since the Susquehanna
game. Perkins went in at centre on
the varsity, Frank Treanor being as
signed to the pivotal position on the
second eleven. Buck Sweetland, the
hafback. also played with the scrub.
Despite these reinforcements. the
second eleven was unable to hold on
the attack of the regulars, who made
three touchdowns and held their OPP
ponents scoreless during the after
noon. Mcnamara tailed after brill
liant end run, while O'Connell and
Dempsey scored after thrusts off
tackle.
The varsity was forced to show its
hand yesterday, for the second eleven
had a good line and held several
times at critical moments. Sweetland
played the best defensive game for
the scrub, backing up the line and
proving a terror in smearing end
plays.
Heiggenveg was not in the scrim-
mage yesterday, a wrenched leg con-
tining the guard to the sidelines.
The final hard workout for the
Georgetown game will take place to
day. On Saturday and Monday only
signal practice will be held.
Coach Gargan drilled the VARSITY In
breaking up a number OF Carlisle
plays which Coach Exendine has been
giving Georgetown.
With the crafty redskin in charge,
Gargan is looking forward to a spec
tacular attack of tricks being flashed
by the Southerners, and he has
grounded his players in how to turn
aside these formations.

WILLIAMS MEN
CHEER AS TEAM
HAS ITS DRILL

Williamstown, Mass. Nov. o.
Cheered by large crowd of students
who had come to the field to watch the
practice, the Williams football squad
put in a solid afternoons work in prep
aration for the Wesleyan game Satur-
day. The backs caught punts ard ran
them down the field against the line
men,.
Coach Brooks then set the backfield
men to tackling the dummy, while the
ends caught forward passes and the
guards and tackles used the charging
machine. After a short signal prac-
tice, the varsity and the scrub had a
half hour session Of scrimmage, dur
ing which the first team showed up
particularly well, scoring two touch
downs.
Pratt, substitute centre, who was
hurt in the Columbia game, was out in
uniform to-day, but limited himself TO
practising drop kicks. The team now
has every man ready to play, and with
few exceptions the whole squad is in
first class condition.

By FRANK O'NEILL

Stevens Institute of Technology Is
busy preparing for its meeting with
Columbia on the gridiron on Tuesday.
The engineers will enter this game
handicapped in every way. To begin
with, Stevens has an eleven which does
not measure up to some of the prep
schools in weight, and. to add to the
difficulties, several of their first-string
men are on the injured list. However,
Buck Rodgers has drilled his eleven
carefully and well. The team is fur
iously fast, and, fired with a wonderful
spirit, 1t may be that the combination
will be sufficiently powerful TO make
up for the lack of avoirdupois.
The varsity team that practised al
Castle Point Field yesterday afternoon
averaged slightly under 100 pounds,
and unless some unforeseen circum-
stance arises that same eleven will
trot out TO start the game against the
Blue and White on Election Day.
There was one man in togs who
weighed more than $50 pounds. He
was Moeller, the left guard. In the
centre Of the line, where one naturally
seeks out behemoths, there is Johnson,
the centre, who brags of his l65
pounds; Etzel, right guard, Of 100
pounds, and Moeller, the left guard
at 1855 pounds. Ford and Flockhart'
the tackles, weigh l6S and 1914, re-
spectivelY, while Lofquist and hop,
kins, the ends, weigh $50 and Isl
pounds, respectively.
Behind that light line is baekiield
which is of ordinary high school team
weight. Musk, the quarterback, tips
the scales at 1874 pounds. and Boss
Peters and Goodale, the other backs
weigh 1850, 1866 and l6i pounds, re-
speetively. These are the boys on
whom Rodgers and Stevens will PIN
their faith TO fight successfully against

was hoped that he would be able TO

and had TO stop after a little work.
When massage treatment failed to give

Raimondo was injured in the game
AGAINST Williams last Saturday.
Since Howard Miller was injured early
in the season Raimondo has been trst
string quarterback and has performed
his duties in acceptable style. NOW
that he is out, Angus McCabe. the
voungster who was moved up from the
third team, will probably be in com

FOUR INJURED PLAYERS
HINDER CLINTON TEAM

The De Witt Clinton High School is
badly disorganized through the injury
OF four players. The Red and Black
schedule has been stiff one, and the
boys have been forced 10 the limit TO
win. Prospects are not so bright with
Stuyvesant High School to be faced to-
morrow. However, Bill Cook, the
coach. is hoping that his substitutes
will ably plug up the holes.
Walter Hoving, the captain, is down
with knee trouble. and it is not likely
that he will play again this season.

Ellis Score Two Touch
downs in Ten-Minute
Scrimmage

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2.-Yale's
closing scrimmage practice before the
Colgate game Saturday lasted only ten
minutes to-day, but the varsity drove
two touchdowns across the goal of the
third eleven before curfew sounded
The straight line plunging model of
ground gaining was maintained, giving
the impression that Yale will drive her
artillery hard at Colgate. The varsity
team was not checked during its two
eighty-yard marches down the field.
Fullback Jim Braden was used in most
of the attacks during the campaign for
the first touchdown, but Harry Lee Gore
took the ball twenty yards around right
end for the tally.
All the backs alternated in small
gains for the second touchdown, Quar-
terback Smith cutting loose for thirty
yards and Neville leaping around end
for the final twenty-five.
Three Lineup Changes
Three lineup changes went into ef-
feet Graham, who had played aggres-
sve football as reserve guard, was given
Charley Galt's berth at right flank, and
is likely TO begin Saturdays game, al
though the position is still uncertain.
Callahan and Zenner are still under
consideration. Gait, who is suffering
from indigestion, will remain out Of
the game until next week.
Jack Vorys went to centre to-day,
dsplacing Rex Hutchinson, who re-
turned to fullback, the position he
played last season. Hutchinson, al
though satisfactory in his defensive
game, was not a success as ranging
centre and his passing was unsteady.
Ii is not believed that he will again try
the snapback position this season, as
Vorys and Callahan have been rapidly
improving.
Vorys will be given a decisive trial
against Colgate. He was centre for the
freshmen two years ago, but injuries
kept him out of the game most Of last
year and have prevented his starting
any game this fall. Hutchinson played
fuilback on the second eleven during
the entire practice this afternoon.
After tryouts of Harold Carey, Joe
Neville and "Effie" wife for the va
cancy caused by the illness Of Bobbing-
ham, Neville was to-day again used at
left halfback, and will be assigned that
position against Colgate.
Zenner Replaces Black
Although Captain Black was replaced
by Zenner for most of to-day's scrim-
maging, it was stated tonight that
Black will be in the Colgate encounter
Larry Fox, the varsity oarsman, who
has been at tackle since he reported
two weeks ago. was transferred to
guard to-day. He weighs about 2lO
pounds and promises to become valu-
able substitute for the flank position.
To-day's lineup, which is now
planned for Saturdays game, except
that right guard is unsettled, was as
follows: Left end, Gates; left tackle,
Taft; left guard, Black; centre, Vorys;
right guard, Graham; right tackle,
Baldridge; right end, Comerford; quar-
terback, Smith; left halfback, Neville;
right halfback, lie Gore; fullback. Bra

Graham Gets Gait Berth at Right End;
Jack Eddy Back at Quarter for Tigers
Scramble at Princeton for
the Coveted Job at
Right Tackle

Princeton, N. j., Nov. Jack Eddy
got back in the scrimmage at quarter
back this afternoon and dispelled some
of the gloom which has been hanging
heavy over the Tiger camp since the
Dartmouth game.
The team has been badly in need
of a quarterback all this week, and
Eddy put more pep into the eleven
to-day than it has shown in some time.
Coach Cruikshank brought his fresh
man team down to the Stadium TO give
the varsity a real game, but in a
twenty minute scrimmage they proved
wofully unequal to work the hrst
string men as hard as the seconds
usually work them.
Eddy's team made three touchdowns
against the cubs in the twenty minutes
of play, but although they were playing
better than they have before this week
the scores were made possible on &C
count of the freshman weakness rather
than varsity power. Eddy got away
for the first touchdown on a seventy
yard run through the whole opposing
team.
HOgg Out OF 1Tdctlce
Captain Hogg is not in the best Of
condition, and Keene Fitzpatrick, the
trainer, would not allow him to get in
any of the scrimmages, so his place was
taken by Bryan, recruit. who shows
some promise. Red Gennert was also
kept on the side lines, while Gowan
took his place at centre against the
freshmen.
Ames was not even in football
clothes this afternoon, and he will not
be able to play against Bucknell.
Comey is also laid up, so Eddy will
be called upon to do most of the game.
McGraw, Latrobe and Hslsey were all
given a try at the coveted right tackle
position, but it probably will be after
the Bucknell game before the man is
finally chosen from among them.
Allan Browns halfback position was
taken by Bill Moore this afternoon,
and he was responsible for one of the
touchdowns on a twenty-yard run on a
fake play around the end. The back
field as il was to-day, with Eddy,
Moore, Tibbott and briggs behind the
line, looks TO be the best that has been
tried for some time.
Works for Interference
Speedy Rush has been putting a lot
of his time on interference lately. This
afternoon he was making every man
b, responsible for one opponent and
seeing that he got him, too. The inter
ference is improving, and the whole
play Of the team was not 80 listless
as it has been until to-day.
By Saturday the team should be
over the worst of the slump and on
tho way to the good form which
Princeton always manages TO display
against Harvard.
The scrubs have learned Harvard
plays and the team is being given a
daily dose of them as a sort of bracer
so that they will be able to meet the
real thing.
