HOWARD CANN
READY TO PLAY
AGAINST COLBY

New York University, rejoicing over
the football victory against Bueknell
on ELECTION Day, had another reason
for jubilation at the practice yesterday
afternoon. Howard Cam, the star
kicker (if he be rated better than his
brother, was out, and for the first
time since the Union game he had the
bandage off his shoulder. He raced
around for q while, throwing and re-
ceiving forward passes, and then went
through a punting and drop kicking
drill. Howard expects to take his
place In the Colby game next week.
1t is probable that Teddie Cam will
play the rest Of the season in the var
sity backfeld. The youngster proved
his worth as p!ulging back, while
his punting was quite as good as any
his Brother has done this season. The
experience Ted gained with high school
teams around the city, while playing
end, will be of value to him as de-
fensive back. Rube Bernstein is nurs-
ing q sorely injured foot, which may
keep him out Of action for the remain
der of the season, and Ted Cam is
looked upon. as his logical successor.
Neither Teddie Cam nor Jack Vein
heimer was on the field at practice
yesterday They did so we'll against
Bucknell that Dick Eustis, head coach,
gave them a day off. Most of the other
Varsity men were on hand, however,
and while the work was light, 1t was
fast. Dummy scrimmage and about
half an hour Of actual work took up
the time Of the men. No new plays
were practised, but this afternoon work
will start in earnest

Contest with Brown Gets
Secondary Consideration
from Yale Coaches

New Haven, Nov. S.-Announcing a
policy Of disregarding the Brown game
next Saturday and Of sacrificing every
thing In attempting to gridiron per-
1ectly conditioned eleven against
Princeton, Yale to-day sent . substi-
tute eleven against the freshmen IN .
mid-week game which closed strenu'
GUS preparation for the annual Bull
dog-Brown Bear duel.
The Yale coaches realize that they
cannot give special attention to the
Brown game and send into II the FIRST
string players without pitting them
against the Tigers the following Satur-
day in poor playing form, as well as IN
jured to some extent.
It was said tonight that Captain
Black. right end, Comerford and Gates
were the only regulars sure OF starting
the Brown game. 1t is admitted al
Yale that the eleven has been IN poor
form for week, both because OF hne-
ness of condition and minor injury.
A chance was taken on the condition
Of the players by sending the mrs.
string men into the Colgate match last
Saturday. 1t was figured, however, that
two weeks remain to round the players
into condition before the Princeton
game. but it has been decided that sew,
eral Of the players must be rested, and
largely a reserve playing combination
will be sent against Brown. II VIII
probably not be selected till Friday
night.

HARVARD TEAM
Tigers Try Whole Roper
tory Preparing for Game
with Crimson

Princeton, n. J., Nov. s--To-day was
the first time that Harold BALM, cap
tain Of the Princeton team in 1914
ever played on Harvard" team.
A heavy backfeld man WAS wanted
for the Harvard" scrub team, and Bal
lin was impressed into service and
played fullback for a quarter OF an
hour. His team had little luck in get
ting through the varsity in spite OF
his manful attacks.
On the whole, the FIRST string men
played much better than they have been
playing for the last few weeks The
scrub team lined up against them was
4. pretty weak one, but at that 1t failed
10 gain = bit Of ground. A long serim-
mage was held with the second team,
and the whols varsity repertoire OF
PLAYS were tried With good results IN
most eases
There was not the loose handling OF
the ball and the "what's-the-use" kind
OF playing which hss been 40 evident
during the last few weeks. Thomas Is
being used In the varsity baekield, and
his energy seems TO be communicated
to all the players in front Of him Both
Tibbott and Brown were given a day
Of. Tibbott was not on the field, but
Brown watched the practice from =
blanket on the sidelines.
Funk Goes 20 Baekheid
George Funk is not at end any long
er. For several days hs has been
playing IN the bsckfeld. He was put
in against the second team to-day
when the ball was about twenty yards
in front Of the goal posts, and from
there Re kicked several placements
souarelv over the bar. His kind OF
fight is the thing that Princeton needs
TO beat Harvard and Yale.
Captain Hogg was kept out OF the
game to-day and directed the plsy OF
the men from the side lines. snake
Ames has not been IN scrimmsge TINS
week, but he will be able to take Eddy.'s.
place against Harvard on Saturday II

choice after Ames.
Little Taoklinx Allowed
Moore's play continues TO electrify
the students who attend the practces
each afternoon. Speedy Rush would
allow little tackling of his varsity men
today. Nit called each play off as soon
as he saw that the play had succeeded,
but IL was easy 20 see several times
that Moore had completely eluded the
opposing side before the ball was
called down.
Whatever forward passing Princeton
does in the next two games Will be
done mostly by Tibbott and briggs.
The latter is especially expert at toss
ing the ball. and number Of clever
passes were completed to-day. Giles
pie was receiving them well.

FOLWELL GIVES
SKULL PRACTICE
TO PENN TEAM

Philadelphia, Nov. 8--Penn's grid-
iron warriors had their first secret
practice Of tho season this afternoon,
when Coach Folwell sent the varsity
and scrubs through hard drill for the
Dartmouth game behind barred gates
at Franklin Field.
Four new plays were tried by the
varsity, and were so successfully
worked out that they will be used
against the big Green eleven Saturday
The players were also put through
what is known In baseball as Skull
practice" their work being satisfactory
to their mentor.
The Red and Blue players are deter
mined to display their best against
Dartmouth. Advance agents Of the
Dartmouth undergraduates are in town
with large sum to wager on the Han
over eleven at 8 to 4. Much Of their
money has already been covered" by
Penn students.
Glenn Urquhsrt, Penn's star end. who
Is probably the lightest wing man In
the land on a big college eleven, al
though used up in the Lafayette COM
bat last Saturday, will start against the
Dartmouth team. II Urquhart begins
to slow up during the Dartmouth game

AMHERST BARS
GATE AND HOLDS
SECRET DRILLS

Amherst, Mass, Nov. s-Practice
was held to-day behind closed gates for
the first time. Coach Riley as well as
the men, encouraged by last Saturdays
showing, feel that victory over Union
next Saturday at Schenectady is fairly
certain. The defence exhibited against
Trinity was the best seen on Pratt
Field this year. Trinity was tho first
opponent Of the season who failed to
cross the PUPPIES goal line at least
once. Schmid, who played the first
half last Saturday after leaving the in
frmary but two days before, is again
rounding into shape and displaying
some of the ability to carry the ball
that he showed against Wesleyan.
Although Williams triumphed over
Amherst's conqueror, Wesleyan, last
Saturday, II has only served to increase
the spirit of the men, who are working
long after dark with the aid Of 4 white
ball and electric lights.
Bodenhorn, who has practically re-
covered from an injury to his shoulder
sustained earlier in the season, Is again
showing good form In punting and for
ward passing.

SECRET PRACTICE IS
BEGUN BY MIDDIES

Annapolis. Nov. undetermined that
no intruders shall learn anything Of
the inside football which they are
teaching their charges, the Naval Acsd-
envy coaches will make secret practice
the rule from now until the end OF the
season.
During most of this afternoon no one
but those connected with the team
were allowed on the grounds. For a
half hour near the close, navy people
were admitted 70 watch q hot scrim-
mage.
Perry's punting was one Of the feat
ures. he booted the ball for uniformly
good distances, placed them well, and
sent II high enough In the air for his
linemen to get down under the field.
Frequent changes were made in the
bsckfeld, consisting Of Orr. Davis. Mar
tin and Hanafee.

yard line, from where the regulars
straight attack failed to gain.
Horween was out in the backheld TO-
day and so was Flower. These men are
both kickers. and they did some very
good punting, alternating in the var
sity and substitute backfelds. Hor-
ween's chances for getting into the
Princeton game seemed better to-day
than they have been heretofore. His
arm was not SO badly hurt as was at
first feared, but at the same time he
will be saved as much as possible.
Quarterback Robinson was on the
field, but was not out for any work.
His chances for playing against Prince
ton are now very slight, but even II he
does he will not start the game.
Murray has been getting q lot OF
speed out of the regulars. Snow was
again on the right wing at guard.
while Clark played with the substitutes.
Snow, therefore, may be the first man
to start against Princeton, but Clark 10
in shape. He is heavier than Snow,
but the latter is rangier and has had
the benefit Of having played two sea-
sons with the varsity.
Horween's kicking will be needed Sat-
urday, and he also has been doing
some good drop kicking, and for dis
lance ranks not very far behind Bond.

LEHIGH WORKS
FOR THE DRIVE
AT PENN STATE

South Bethlehem, Penn, Nov. S-All
the heavy work that Lehigh will do be-
fore the Penn State game was accom-.
plished to-day. The greater part Of
the work done was scrimmage and q
rehearsal Of fundamentals
Coach Tom Ready Is progressing In
his rebuilding team efforts, but he has
as yet reached no definite decision as
TO the ends, centre and halfback posi-
tions. Tomlinson alternated with Her
rington to-day at right halfback, while
Pons slternated with Robinson at CEN
ire.
The news was received that Bob
Good, right tackle, will be back In time
for the Penn State game. Good was
called home just after the Muhlenberg
contest. With Good back, Richards can
again be used at one of the ends, but
Gulick or Frain may be given q chance.
Considerable time was spent In get
ting the men to crouch lower in making
charges. The practice was fairly salts
factory, but a great deal moro work
will have TO be done before the State
game Saturday IL Lehigh Is to put a
standard team on the field.
Drummer to-day was sent TO a corner
Of the field to practise up on drop kick
ing and placements.

week and . half ago.
The varsity put In good days
work and there was some rough play
although not much Of It. First the
regulars went through prolonged sig
nal drill, and then were waltzed out to
line up against the scrub.
Reggie Brown, the strategist, was
out, and got behind the second team
which was working the most advanced
Princeton plays. Therefore the var
sity was on the defensive continually
but the scrub did not mako any gains
that made the coaches worry great

STEVENS ELEVEN
RESTS AFTER BIG
COLUMBIA GAME
Hoboken Squad Free from lnju-
ries-Coach Rodgers
Compllmented

There was no practice yesterday At
Stevens. Coach Rodgers declared .
holiday for tho day for the entire
squad and excused even the fourth and
fifth team men. He intends, however,
to give them . good workout to-day
and tomorrow preparatory to meeting
the Connecticut Aggies in Hoboken on
Saturday.
The Engineers came through the Co
lumbia contest without . scratch In
spite Of tho heaviness Of the Blue and
White team and the great efforts they
were called upon to make. Coach
Rodgers attributes this to the general
physical condition Of the men as well
as to their knowledge Of the funda-
mentals of the game.
The undergraduates and alumni who
witnessed the contest to-day compli-
mented the coach on the showing made
by the team. They regard the game as
a victory, as the team completely out
played the Morningsiders and showed
better coaching and better finish.
While the engineers put up great
fight there were one or two instances
where the play could be corrected, and
Rodgers intends to start working on
their correction to-day and stiffen his
team up for tho final drives.

LAFAYETTE
COACHES TO AID
AGAINST LEHIGH

Easton, Penn, Nov. s.-The athletic
committee at Lafayette College has
made arrangements to reinforce the
coaching stan during the week which
precedes the all-important game with
tehigh. Harold BALM, who has been
coaching the Princeton guards this
season under the direction Of Speedy
Rush, is one who will report to March
Field on the day after the Princeton
Yale game. and will assist with the
coaching throughout that week, which
precedes the Lehigh game.
Lafayette started to-day the prepare
ton for the game with Albright, With
Penn State and Lehigh in the more
remote distance. The injury to We'll
don. which probably will keep him out
Of the game for the rest Of the season,
makes 1t necessary for Coach Crowell
to completely reconstruct his offensive
plays. Most Of them were built around
Weldon. Martin will have to do the
punting.

Captain JEFF Healy will DO lost to
the Columbia football team for the rest
Of the season, in all probability. Such,
at least, was the announcement made
at the training quarters Of the Blue
and White eleven last night.
Healy was cut down from behind in
the game with Stevens. and the liga-
ments In his knee are torn. 1t was
against this cutting men from behind
that G.. Foster Sanford complained at
the meeting of the football rules COM
mittee last fall. He described the prac-
tice as "hamstringing. ankle-break-
ing. face-smashing play that is a detri-
ment to football and should be aool-
ished."
United Columbia holds the same opin-
ion as the Rutgers coach. now that the
truth Of his statement has robbed the
team Of one Of its strongest players.
With Healy out Of action, the left
side of the Blue and White line VIII
lose much of its power and drive
Healy hopes to return to the team In
few days. but all indications last
night were that he would adorn the
sidelines if able to don . uniform at
all.
Columbia Is depressed over the fail
ure Of the team TO beat Stevens.
The Blue and White was many pounds
to the man heavier. but failed to make
the most Of their advantages. The line
play was not up to the standard OF q
college team. and perhaps the most dis
appointing feature was the ease with
which the light centre trio Of the en-
ginecrs shifted the Columbia men and
made way for the furious plunges OF
Sam Webb. Columbia congratulates
itself on the fact that Webb fumbled
as he crossed the goal line. for that
alone prevented the touchdown which
would have been sufficient
The varsity had 9 day on yesterday
and made the most Of it. Like the
stage driver Of the time honored story,
the boys came out to the held and
watched the freshmen scrimmage with
De Witt Clinton. Sterling Van de
Water and Zychlinski lmped as they
walked, and Jimmy Cleveland looked
as if he had lost close decision TO

will be on hand for the game with

on the big red team for the Michigan

players this afternoon. when DR..
Sharpe sent his first team against the
second In the longest scrimmage prac-
,iee Of the season.
A shift occurred at ends that looks
bad for the former regulars, Eckley
and Zander. The showing Of these two
in scrimmage yesterday was not up 10
standard. and tho Cornell coaches, TAX
ing no chances with Michigan's backs
circling the Cornell wings, decided to-
day TO make an eleventh hour change
and use Eilenberger and Ryerson, sub
stitutes up TO this week, at the places.
