PENN RESTS UP
FOR THE FIGHT
WITH MICHIGAN

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-Pennsylvania's
varsity football team will not be sent
through another scrimmage practice
until after the Michigan game. Coach
Folwell decided upon this to-day, as the
team already is too close to being on
edge, so far as condition is concerned,
and several Of the regulars are in a
crippled condition. In order TO guard
against staleness. Folwell will allow
the men to take II easy all week, the
practice being confined to signal drills,
punting, throwing and receiving forward
passes and dummy scrimmage against
the Michigan plays.
All of the regulars reported for prae-
tice this afternoon, but HOBBY Light
was not in shape for the signal drill,
his knee, which was injured Saturday,
being too stiff to permit him to run.
Bryant, also, is still in poor shape as
a result of the mauling he received at
the hands of Dartmouth, but he ran the
team in the signal drill. with Derr and
Williams at halfback and Berry at full
back.
Folwell said that he expected to take
two or three other members OF the
scrub team over 10 the varsity train
ing table within the next few days. IN
order to allow them TO become familiar
with the signals and the general style
of play he is teaching, so that this
much work will be saved next fall.
Wheeler, who was promoted from the
scrub TO the varsity yesterday, was
given q long drill catching punts and
throwing forward passes to-day.

Columbia Shifts Players
To Strengthen Eleven
By BRIGGS

sociates, particularly Ted Wilmington,
the former star at Harvard. who
coaches the line, have been handi-
capped by losing their men. First one
and then another man dropped out for
one cause or another and the coacnes
were forced to work in new comDi-
nation about every other day. Inc
difficulties attendant upon turning out
a smoothly working, powerful machine
under such conditions may be seen at
a glance.
The Columbia line has been unfortu-
nate in the extreme this season. IL
is not so much in the number OF In
iuries, but in the men who have been
injured. Players of the type Of Bud
WILDER, Sterling Van de Water and
Healy cannot be picked up in a walk
across the campus every day, and
Wilmington has had his hands full.
For this reason, more than any other,
the squad has not been scrimmaged
as much as it might have been had
all hands been in condition to stand
up under the pounding.
Undaunted in Spirit
Had Howard Miller been able to
play this season another story might
have been written of the games
played by Columbia, and Nelson
Metcalf's name might have been sung
in the highest. Miller was a real
strategist, and a cunning drop kicker
as well. His toe might have decided
the issue in any one Of the several
games played on South Field. Even
had Miller been unable to play, the
situation would not have been so bad
if any of the other candidates for
quarterback displayed any real skill
in running the team. His loss left
Columbia weak in two important de-
psrtments-strategy and drop kicking.
So far as injuries are concerned, last
year exacted heavier toll from the
team than has this. The injuries sus-
tanned were quite as severe, but the
men were not so prominent.
In the face Of criticism and disap-
pointment on the field, the spirit of
the squad is undaunted, and the boys
purpose to drive ahead and bring the
season to a glorious close by defeating
Wesleyan on Saturday. and then drive
ahead against New York University.
There was world of snap and drive
in the scrimmage work yesterday, and
some real team play, too, and, taken
all in all, the outlook is not as blue
as it has been painted.

JONES REPLACES
EGE AT END ON
PENN STATE TEAM

State College, Penn. Nov. 14.-With
the exception Of O'Donnell, Swain and
Parrish, the substitutes had the call
to-day in Penn States scrimmage
against the freshman team. The rest
of the regulars went through signal
drill and dummy tackling workout un-

Hadlow supervised the second string
eleven. and he found much TO dis
please him in the defence against the
light freshman backs. Three shifts Of
ends we're tried out before Hadlow

ference satisfactorily.
Jones, a substitute quarterback and
halfback, played left end for the first
time to-day. He is being broken in as
a possible successor to Eye, whose leg
has been in bad condition since the
Pennsylvania game. Beck has not
been in uniform since the Lehigh con-
test; mis- legs stiffen after every game
and he can do little for three or four
days. The trouble is attributed TO an
injection Of diphtheria anti-toxin last
winter

CANN is TRIED
AT QUARTERBACK
ON N. Y. u. TEAM

Howard Cam tried his hand at play
ing quarterback in the signal drill at
New York University yesterday after
noon and made a favorable impression
upon the coaches. II is not probable
that he will direct the team in actual
conflict, however. unless Mackenzie. the
regular quarterback. were to be forced
out of action for any reason. Cam got
a lot of speed out of the team and
chose his plays we'll with relation TO
the location Of the ball and the downs

Captain Healy May Play
Against Wesleyan-Spirit
of Team Undaunted
By FRANK O'NEILL

Captain JEFF Healy was one of the
most interested spectators at the prac-
tice of the Columbia varsity at South
Field yesterday afternoon. JEFF walked
without a limp, and while he does not
expect to play against Wesleyan on
Saturday, the coaches have not sban-
doned hope Of his being able to get in
for awhile, at any rate. 1t is almost
an assured fact that he will take his
place against New York University on
November 20.
More changes were In order for the
varsity. Dunn, who was put into the
backfeld two weeks ago, returned to
his place at right end, and Dial Coch-
ran was shifted to the backfield again.
Donaldson was installed at guard, at
which position he has been alternating
with one man and another for most of
the season. The other changes were
of minor Importance, and chiefly In
the nature of experiment. Nelson Met
calf, head coach, would not volunteer
any information on his plans for the
future.
Much has been said and not little
written of the methods of coaching
at Columbia this season. The failure
of the Blue and White has been at
tributed to various causes. with chief
blame placed at the doors of the men
in charge. 1t Is not entirely fair to
criticise without offering some con-
structive method In exchange for that
now used, and most of the criticism
has been superficial in the extreme.
Handicapped by Injuries
Oftentimes the difference between a
winning and losing team may be
summed up in a sprained ankle of
some star back or in a twisted knee
of some crack lineman. This may APP
ply to Columbia. Metcalf and his as

Boston, Nov. l4.-The Harvard base
ball cage was lighted up this afternoon
for varsity and second team players,
and the days drill for the most part
was held indoors. The scrub is
working overtime now on Browns style
of attack, while the coaches, with so
many of the regulars still resting from
their experience In the Princeton game,
are grooming the substitutes fast for
Brown on Saturday.
Captain Dadmun, Robinson, Charley
Coolidge and Wheeler all came down to
the field, but did not get into their
playing clothes. but Harte and also
rhacher were in toys and began work
again. Harte always comes back fast
after a few days rest following a hard
game.
Coolidge also is too valuable to be
sent through much more hard work.
In fact, both the Crimson's ends have
earned their places on the team, and
work on signals and defence is about
all they need. Wheeler, the left tackle,
who played a sterling game against
the Tigers, is another man the coaches
will keep close watch over from now
until the end Of the season.
To-day the lineup for the work be-
tween the varsity and the second teams
consisted Of Brewer and Phinney, ends,
with CASTOR and II. Coolidge substitut-
ing. Flynn, who was being worked at
centre a week ago, was shifted back
20 tackle on the left wing. Hartley
being on the other side to-day. Clark
and Snow were the guards, while Tay-
Tor. and then Sugar, worked at centre
Robinson's continued lameness may
keep him out of the Brown game.

Tiers Plan No Line-Up
Changes for Eli Game

anv changes from the lineup which
faced Harvard. The line from tackle
TO tackle is almost sure to be the same.
The ends will not be changed, and un-
less something unforeseen happens
Highley and Wilson will be the starters.
The backfield combination that start
ed against Harvard was somewhat OF
surprise. but the indications are that
it will be the same in the Yale game.
Thomas was in his first game of the
season and his only big game, but he
did unusually well under the circum-
stances. He will probably retain first
choice over Brown.
Billy Moore was not worked to-day
because he is still little under the
weather as a result of the Harvard
tussle. briggs, Ames and Thomas were
in the backfeld, with Eddy as quarter
most of the afternoon.
McGraw Certain for Tackle
McGraw has taken an almost sure
hold on the tackle job as a result of his
playing Saturday, but Latrobe and Hal
sey will substitute.
Eberstadt was trotting around the
field all afternoon, but he has not yet
been allowed in a scrimmage. He should
get a try tomorrow as he is practically
as fit as ever now.
Although the first string men were
not scrimmaged, the seconds and the
scrub put in a strenuous day. They
battled against each other for half an
hour in the hardest kind Of tussle,
and seemed to work just as hard as
though they were all going to meet
Yale in day or two.

Princeton, n. j.. Nov. l4.-Eddie Hart

figure in the Stadium this afternoon.
OF course, it is too late in the season
TO teach much in the way OF different
methods of play, but Hart simply

is mainly to Undue the men with that
confidence in themselves which is nee
essary TO victory. To-day Frank Click

grown TO such a great size this week
that it almost equals the players IN

All the varsity men reported to-day,
but the practice was limited to signal

TO have q snappy short scrimmage, and
if it is satisfactory there will be no
more until Yale is met. All the Prince
ton plays were not used against Hsr-
ward. and several that are being held IN
reserve were tried out to-day.

he will at least be able to kick II he

BRETT UNABLE TO
PLAY AGAINST
MASS. AGGIES

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. lon q gridiron
covered with snow this afternoon Dr.
Sharpe sent the second and third teams
into the first scrimmage of the week.
The weather conditions were so poor
that he kept all the men who played
against Michigan last Saturday out OF
to-day's line-ups. All of the regulars
were in toys, and Shiverick and Bene-
dict tried some kicking, but none of
the men got into the scrimmage.
Hopes that Brett would get into the
Mass. Aggies game Saturday were shat
tered when the head coach announced
that he would take no chances with the
fast halfback's weak knee, but would
give him only light work and no scrim-
mage this week. He did say that Brett
would be ready in time for Pennsyl-
vania.
Rumors that Tilley, the aggressive
guard, had been placed on probation
for the season and would not be able
to play again, because he was kept out
of the Michigan game, were disproved
by Sharpe, who said Tilley had now
made up his back work and was eligi-

Record Attendance
Now Certain for
Yale-Harvard Game

The greatest crowd that ever
gathered in an Enclosure to witness
any sporting event In this country
will be on hand for the Yale and
Harvard game In the Yale Bowl,
November 25.
Approximately 1900 persons will
watch the Crimson and the Blue
struggle for supremacy, and that
the number will not be greater is
due to lack of area on which to
construct extra seats. High water
mark was reached In attendance
figures in this country when 10000
spectators saw Yale and Harvard
play In the Bowl two years ago.
The demand for tickets this year
so far exceeded the normal capacity
of the Bowl, some $1,000, that more
than 5000 extra seats were erect
ed. II was decided TO limit the APP
pIicstlons of non-graduates of the
university to two tickets each, and
the same rule was applied to the
graduates of the professional
schools of the university.

SQUADS PUT UP
HOT SCRIM MAGE

Coach Rodgers put the Stevens squad
through q long practice yesterday al
ternoon. There was cold wind blow
ing across the Castle Point Field, but
Rodgers kept all the men on the jump
and they did not appear TO mind IT.
Teams A, the varsity, and b, the
second squad, were put through stin
hours scrimmAge. In that time the
varsity was able TO score three touch
downs, all as the result of long passes
from Marshall. at fullback, TO Carlson
AZ left end. The scrubs threatened the
first team goal line twice, but were
never able 10 shove 1t over. Peter was
the star Of the second team, and he
ploughed into the first team line for
good, consistent gains. Heinen and
Brett. at the second squad guards,
showed up well in the line.
To-dsys practice will be rather late
in starting, as the annual senior frolic,
the tie-ups and the cane sprees are
scheduled to take place on the field this
afternoon.

KEN CARPENTER
MAY BE REGULAR
FOR AMHERST

Amherst, Mass, Nov. 14.-Last Sat
urday's defeat at the hands Of Union
has evidently failed to discourage the
Amherst men. They still hope for a
victory over Williams next Saturday
over Pratt Field, even though Williams
will go into the game heavy favorite
over the local men.
Many of the old football men have
appeared and are out on the field daily
helping Coach Riley and Bill Tow put
the final touches on the team. Among
them were Campbell and Madden, who
were captains Of the elevens of 1910
and 1912, respectively.
One new man who Is showing up we'll
in practice. and who probably will be
given chance in next Saturday,
game, is Ken Carpenter. He knew prac-
tically nothing about football when he
showed up for practice, seven weeks
ago, but has learned rapidly, until now
he is considered one of the best Of
fensive players on the squad. He is the
most accurate kicker seen on Pratt
Field since the time of Walt McGay.
All the men are in good condition
with the exception of Woodward, right
guard, who is still suffering from a bad
knee, which he received during the
early part of the season.
