PRINCETON. N. j.. Oct. 31.~Coach
Rush of the Princeton football squad
again started his driving tactics this
afternoon when he put the first and sec
ond varsity through a long. hard scrtm-
mage lasting more than half an hour.
The battle was so %trenuou that II al
most equalled the ferceness Of a real
game and the players were given a
chance to show what improvement they
had made since the Dartmouth contest
on Saturday.
Neither Ames nor Eddy was In the
scrimmaRe. Eddy was present In uni
form, but %contented himself with light
practice on the sidelines. His injury is
healing fast and he probably will be
ready for real work tomorrow. Ames
did not report for practice and In his abb
sence Harold Comey ran the team.
The varsity lineup was changed In
several respects aside from this. Me-
Grdw and Halsey alternated NJ tackle
and Bryan was given a try at Capt.
Hogs position at right guard. The
Tiger leader still showed the effects of
the Dartmouth battle and a days rest
was deemeds advisable. Bryan. who
played in his place. IL one OF the best
guards on the squad. hut has refused to
take the game seriously and has been
kept OF the team for want of consistent
work. Wilson showed up well at end and
briggs behind the line.
The scrub backfeld consisted of Bill
Moore, Thomas and Eberstadt. and II
made serious inroads on the varsity
The regular eleven has not looked poorer
for some time than In this afternoons
practice. Not only was there no score
but the scrubs were the aggressors nearl,
all the time. Latrobe played left tackle
on the scrubs. This is his first try a,
scrimmage since an injury forced hin
out Of the regular lineup two weeks ago
