NEW PLAYER SHINES
IN CORNELL PRACTICE

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct 1s.-Hoff, an end
on last years freshman team, made a
good showing with the varsity in a fast
hours workout with the scrub this
afternoon. In the first few minutes Of
play he picked up punt blocked by
Centre Brown and ran sixty yards for a
touchdown. the first of three made by
the varsity to-day. Hoffman made the
only other sensational gain when he
broke through the line for forty-iive
yards.
For the most part the varsity backs
hammered away for short distances,
which accounted for the other two
touchdowns. Though strong on the Of
fensive, the varsity was the opposite
on the defence, when Sharpe gave the
ball on the 5-yard line to the scrub,
which repeatedly carried the pigskln
over.

the season, reported to Robinson, the
head coach, and one of the best work

coaches put the men through lot Of
queer formations in preparation for the
Williams game on Saturday.
Considerable time was spent in
breaking up forward passes and IN com
pleting them. Better success was at
tanned in breaking them up than in
making them. Hilihouse and Shaw, the

Amherst, Mass, Oct. 17.-Tne only
redeeming feature of the overwhelm-

hand and Davis was badly shaken up,
but beyond that no injuries we're re-
ported.

Fun1bling BY Yale Backs
Enrages HeadC0achJ Jones

Trainer Mack said tonight that all
would be in condition on Friday.
The football squad was depressed
over the news that two of its former
members, "Nick" Carter, end rush
three years ago, and Billy Thaw, SUBJ
stitute guard two seasons ago, are
war victims. Carter died with the
Hartford troops on the Mexican bor-
der, following an operation. while
Thaw, an aviator with the French
army, has been killed in an air raid.
To-day's practice was the longest OF
the season, and. barring the fumbling,
was the most satisfactory. The
scrimmaging lasted more than an
hour. and was the first attempt Of the
eleven to play full-time 10 minute
periods. Putting the ball in play at
the varsity fve-yard line. Jones COM
PEELED the varsity TO travel the 30
yards to touchdowns three times.
Twice lie Gore took the ball across,
making a 25-yard end run in the first
instance, and crashing through centre
for the final five yards in the second
case. A 40-yard run back of punt
by Bingham, a 25-yard end run by Van
Nostrand and a tackle plunge for 20
wards by Braden, were the features of
the ground gaining for the first two
touchdowns.
Three Touchdowns for Neville.
Joe Neville registered the final
touchdown by taking the ball across
the scrubs goal line after covering 80
yards in gains, averaging about 10
wards. Neville made two touchdowns
later after the varsity had twice re-
ceived the ball at the scrubs l5-yard
line and ordered TO take 1t across IN
four downs.
Centre rush Callahan was again IN
iured during the scrimmaging, when
scrub player stepped on his ankle. In
dications are that he will be able to
play on Friday.
The visiting coaches were Steve
Philbin, Paul Veeder and Buck
Stewart.
The lineup follows:
Left end, Gates; left tackle, Taft;
left guard, Sheldon; centre, Callahan;

one who has been one year In the en-
ploy OF the Union Pacific. The insur-
snce became effective midnight last

William A. Day. president OF the
Equitable. said that this transaction was
particularly gratifying as being the
largest Of the kind and setting a new
record for insurance contracts in both

money is at a discount In Mexico because
OF the advance in the price Of silver. n
Hnancier Just out OF Mexico said to-
day. He added that the Mexicans are
boarding their own silver dollar pieces
for the same reason and using the frac-
tlonal currency of comparatively lower
value.
The ~ffnancier said the Mexican gold
dollar Of half the weight and value of
tho American gold dollar is now ex-
ceeded in value by the Mexican silver
dollar, which Is quoted by the brokers
in the Mexican capital at about sixty
cents American gold. Lately Carranxa
issued a decree arbitrarily placing the
gold and silver dollar on a par. This
had sympathetically raised the exchange
value OF tho gold dollar. as the gold is
by fiat on a silver basis.
Mexican fractional currency Is den
cient in weight. particularly the half
dollar. A. Mexicans have n tendency
to hoard the more valuable coins, they
have made the half dollar the popular
