NJ Y. u. FORGETS
FOOTBALL WHILE
TEAM TAKES REST

New York University forgot football
Yesterday afternoon and the varsity
team spent its time planning ways and
means TO defeat the team from Mary
land State College next Saturday. None
of the coaches was on hand. After the
remarkable showing made against Colby
on Saturday. the Violet expects to de-
feat Maryland, and then drive ahead 10
the conquest of Columbia.
When the team reports for preotlce
this afternoon special attention Will be
devoted 20 the line. The New England
backs plunged through for gains be.
tween tackle and tackle in way that
was far from assuring, and the weak
ness will have to be routed out The
ends of New York were strong, and
FLOYD Egan was especially clever In
diagnosing and smashing plays before
they developed.
The all-around play of Teddie Canr
is the chief topic of talk about the cam
pus. His punting was OF first rank
and one former all-America star hat
pronounced him the best kicker OF thu
season. One Of Teddie's punts against
Colby carried sixty yards. 1t was made
after poor pass, and with two OF TIT
rival team dashing in on him.

CORNELL BEGINS
TO LAY PLANS
FOR PENN GAME
Brett, Speedy Back, May Secure
a Varsity Berth by
Saturday
By BRIGGS

Ithaca, n. Y. Nov. 13.-To give the
Cornell varsity football players OPP
portunity to make up university work
to-day, DR.. Sharpe broke his usual
Monday programme and postponed the
blackboard practice and cage drill I'M
til after supper, when the men re-
ceived a talk from the coaches on the
plans for the Pennsylvania-Cornell
contest. The coaches expect to intro
duce some new formations tomorrow
afternoon.
Brett, who returned to the squad
last week, but did not get on the field
will be in uniform tomorrow. 1T IS
expected, and may secure varsity
berth by Saturday, as he Is by far
the fastest backfeld candidate now
out. Haucke, who substituted for Hoft-
man, may also find job, while Hoft-
man may 20 to fullback, according to
rumor. The crowd at the game last
week was the largest in Cornell his
tory, eleven thousand, Manager Kent
announced to-day.
All Of the Cornell men, with the ex-
ception of Miller and Jewett, came
through the Michigan game in good
condition. Miller's ankle bothered him
so that he had to be taken from the
game, while Jewett's leg injury also
caused his removal. Benedict is ex-
pected back to play this week.

PLAY OF ARMY
AGAINST MAINE
WORRIES COACHES
Hard Work on Programme for
Soldiers During the
Present Week

West Point, N. Y, Nov. lS.-All the
varsity mon were on the field to-day
and mono reported any serious injuries
as q result Of last Saturdays easy
game with Maine. The coaches were
not enthusiastic over the soldiers
showing against the collegians, and
many OF the mistakes disclosed in that
contest were gone over In to-day's
drill.
The workout was light and consisted
chiefly OF blocking, passing and signal
practice. A few new plays were
launched, some Of which will get .
moro extended tryout this week, which
Is expected to see the hardest part OF
the Army's training, In order that a
letup may come next week before the
soldiers journey TO the Polo Grounds,
New York City. where they will DO
battle with the Navy.
The Springfield victory over Tufts
last Saturday Is the cause OF some
early apprehension In the Army camp.
The Y. NJ. C. A. huskies come here for
the final home battle with the soldiers
next Saturday, and the West POINTERS
are keen on keeping up the winning
streak.
Thus far the cadets have gone
through the season undefeated, and
while no special preparations are to De
made, it is expected that the varsity
men will have heavy work ahead OF
them this week with Saturdays game
in view.

LOWE READY TO
PLAY AGAIN FOR
FORDHAM TEAM

Bull Lowe, star tackle Of the Ford
ham varsity, will return to the team
to-day. This was announced by Jake
Weber, the trainer Of the Maroon
SQUAD, and confirmed by Frank GargAn.
the head coach, yesterday afternoon
after the team finished a strenuous day
Of practice. In fact cheering news
was received from several sources. for
Corcoran, right end, and May, right
guard, are ready 70 take up the bust
ness Of tearing holes In the opposing
lines.
II was announced after the George.
town game that Lowe had fractured
his collarbone. but X-rsy photographs
proved that this was not the case. lie
wrenched n muscle severely. and tore
a ligament also, but he is so well re-
covered that he can get into toys
again.
Tho game with Holy Cross promises
to be hard fought from start to finish'
and Gargan will leave no stone un-
turned in his search for combine
ton 10 win for Fordham. He drove
the team through a gruelling drill yes
terday. and after the tackling dummy
had been torn almost TO pieces and the
formation drill completed hfteen-
minute scrimmage with the scrub
team took up the attention OF the
varsity. Three touchdowns were made
by the first string men.

SNOWFALL HALTS
FOOTBALL PLAY
AT DARTMOUTH

Hanover, n. H., Nov. l3.-The first
snowfall Of the year cut short to.day's
football practice at Dartmouth, as far as
outdoor work was concerned. After the
squad had logged mile on the track
the coaches excused the first string
mon for the afternoon and took the re-
mainder of the candidates into the gym.
Bill Randall, former Green coach,
was on hand and lined up team which
ran through formations similar to those
West Virginia is expected to make use
of in next Saturdays game. Special
stress will be placed on perfecting a
defence against plays of the nature
the Southerners have tried in the game
TO date.
The last four games with George
town, Princeton, Syracuse and Pennsyl-
vsnia. all away from home, have told
on the Green squad, and several Of the
men are far from the best shape. Nicely.
the one-srmed guard who was injured
Saturday. is rapidly getting back in
shape and should be available for hard
work by mid-week

CHENOWETH, STAR
LEHIGH QUARTER,
OUT OF THE GAME

South Bethlehem, Penn, Nov. 10
With an exception or two the Lehigh
football team came out of the Penn
State game in good shape. There was
no layoff allowed the men to-day, as
Coach Tom Ready ordered all those
not injured out for limbering up work
and a somewhat more extended prac-
tice.
While the drill was primarily for
the Susquehanna game, yet II had in
view the Lafayette struggle, two weeks
hence. The only men not on the field
were Richards, tackle, who dislocated
his shoulder; Chenoweth. quarterback,
who fractured toe, and McCarty, end.
and Tate, tackle, who are pretty badly
bruised.
II is almost foregone conclusion,
now that Chenoweth is injured, that
Harrington will be the quarterback Sc
lection the rest Of the year. One OF
the surprises on Saturday was the
snappy work Of Tiny Becker, the for
mer Philadelphia Central High lad.
As a pinch" player he plugged up one
of the guard positions in mastery
fashion.
After the men had limbered up to-
day Ready attempted 70 correct some
Of the glaring faults that Lehigh's de-
fence displayed on Saturday, and fol-
lowed up this by introducing new for
nations, calculated 20 break up Lafsy-
cites forward passing game.

STEVENS ELEVEN
HAS LONG DRILL
IN OPEN PLAYS

In spite OF the slight drizzle Coach
Rodgers put the Stevens team through
a long practice yesterday afternoon.
All the regulars came through the drill
in good condition.
The coach paid special attention 10
the conditioning exercises and TO the
fundamentals. A half hour was de-
voted to hitting the dummy and an
other half to falling on the ball.
The scrimmage that followed con-
sisted entirely Of open playing. Mar
shall and Goodale came in for specia.
drill on long passing. Failure Of the
Stevens backs TO gain consistently
through the line in Saturdays game
Is thought to have caused the change
in the mode Of attack.
The management announced yester-
day that the game scheduled with r.
p. I. this Saturday at Troy had been
transferred and would be played here
instead on the same day.

CAPT. Huston Has a Narro0v Escape
When Deer Steers STRAIGHT for Him

Captain T. L. Huston, Of the Yankees,
who has been vacationing at Dover Hall
with Bill Donovan and Ed Barrow the
last couple of weeks, came up for air
long enough TO communicate with bust
ness manager Harry Sparrow just be-
fore the latter set out for New Orleans.
The captain is president of the Dover
Hall Club, a preserve for game and fish,
in which most Of the high lights of
organized baseball are associated. The
caps letter to Sparrow is therefore the
more interesting on that account. In
part it follows:

Taft and Jacques Rejoin Eli
Eleven in Princeton Practice

New Haven, Nov. 13.-Charley Taft
and Emil Jacques returned to tie Yale
squad this afternoon, taking part in
the signal drill which comprised the
only work.
Right Guard Charley Gait sent word
that he would report tomorrow. All
three will be ready to face Princeton
on Saturday, and as Jim Braden limped
badly to-day because of a muscle
bruise received in the Brown game
Saturday, all three may start the play
at Tigertown.
Howard Baldridge reported and took
conditioning exercises, but will do lit
Ito practice scrimmaging this week
Guy Hutchinson and Harry lie Core
have been given a short vacation, but
will return to the lineup tomorrow.
The practice was held in a drizzle,
and the only visiting coaches were
Jack Gates and Foster Rockwell. Shell
don has returned 10 college after three
weeks illness and was at the field, but
because of rheumatism will attempt
no more football.
Five Positions Certain
There is little doubt over the occI.
pancy of five positions in the game at
Princeton. The showing of Mosele ,
has been so good in the last two games
that he may be started at left end, in
stead Of Gates, who in that case will
probably start the play at left tackle,
instead of Charley Taft. who still
limps slightly, although Trainer Mack
said tonight that Taft would be in
condition to play Saturday.
Taft was at right tackle to-day, lend
ing color to the belief that he may
be held in reserve on Saturday. Gala
han played centre to-day. his hrst class
passing making it possible that he
may start Saturdays game At centre
instead Of Hutchinson.

plenty Of feeding spots planted,

Squirrel hunting is bully. Tho
natives claim there is quail in

open here till November 20.
After some exploring done on the
place am sure that by basting the
numerous sloughs and providing
fresh watering places duck hunting
will be splendid.
The fishing is excellent. We
