HARD DRIVE FOR SYRACUSE.
Varsity PIungcS Through Freshmen
 in SCrimmaoc.

Syracuse Nov. 12.-Dick O'Neill, advisory coach of the Syracuse univer- sity football team, must have figured that the Orange varsity warriors need ed some hard work, for he drove the players for one full hour in scrim- mage against the freshman team yes terdaE afternoon. It was one of the hardest scrimmages of the season. During the drill the varsity ploughed through the yearling line and scored several tim eS. ':- 'I %%Aas,
 Nearly every regular was kept in the contest and they were a tired lot when they went to the showers at the end of the workout.
 With Thompson in the line in place of Hoople the weight of the team is increased nearly 40 pounds. ThomD- son weighs 217 pounds, while Hoople weights IFS. Thompson also is thought to be ;t stronger man on de fense. In the workout Ackley, Alp bolt, Talon and Erwig worked like a well oiled machine.

HAUGHTON 10 AID
 HARVARD ELEVEN
Famous Coach Joins Squad at Cambridge <. y.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 12.--Tf the helpless against a short, over the line forward passing game as the Prince- ton Tigers did it won't be Percy Haughton's fault. Harvard's own 'P. D. O." is a busy man these days, but he was down at Nassau last Saturday, and it did not take much urging on the part of Bob Fisher to land Perez on Soldiers field yesterday afternoon.
 Haughton cannot come out much he says, but he: put in a. good days work yesterday with Harvard's back Heid men. His lessons are expected to help the team in the Tufts game as well as ln that against Yale. None of the regular varsity men got into the Tray yesterday afternoon, but the subs ana scrubs fought as desperatei.a .a Scrlmmagey as. has been staged in the
 stadium all fall.
 Nal Logan is the fellow on whose
 shoulders has been the burden of showing Harvard what Yale is going
 to nand out next week. He was out behind the scrubs who tested ont
 their Yale formations against the
 Crimson for the first time The scrubs
 did not do any scoring, but on the de-
 fenSe they gave the subs all they
 wanted to do in more than an hour of
 hard play.
 '", The varsity second stringers did not
 pass out much in the scoring line.
 either They made their one score on
 a dozen plunges to the goal after in- tercepting a second team forward pass some 30 yards out. All the varsity players who were ready for work were showed into the scrimmage at
 some time during the play. The sess sion ended when Faxon blocked a. sec- ond team punt in the dark.
 Some of the varsity men came down ] to the field yesterday. Both Murray and Felton drop kicked to each other ''Tubby' Clark logged about and ] Ralph Hcrween was on the field in 3, 1 street costume. There was much fumbfing in the scrimmage The s,ib- ! stitutes lost the ball in this mannef ] after long up the field march. Phin- ney, Weatherhead and Macomber were tried at end, and Lockwood who has been outypfs3 the tackle squad two weeks or more, was announced sas ready to start work again. : f#Ss

UPTON INSPECTS YACHT
NfFr English Yachtsman Carefully Looks
 IT,! ' r .@4 Over Shamrock w., Then An-
 nounces He Hopes to Win Cup. #

New York Nov. 12.-Sir Thomas Llpton stood yesterday on a pile Of beams in the Shewan shipyard at ths foot of Twenty-seventh street, Brook lyn, with Commodore Willard Taylor of the Atlantic Yacht club and Rob- ert Jacobs, ship builder, and gazed with pride at the graceful lines of the yacht with which he hopes to lift the America s cup.
 It was the first time that the Shamrock ". has been exposed ,t0 view in this country. When she came from Bermuda to the Shewan ship wards in 1914 paulins on rollers were arranged on her decks so that as she was lifted from the water a scurtain was dropped about her figure. At Sir Thomas reauest these were re- moved yesterday, Ieveal1ng what may be called the most daring design ever seen in a racing yacht. a
 MT. Jacobs said that he had never seen ae greater freak or a more radi- cal departure from naval architecture. She is totally different from the Vasn- itie or the Resolute, the two Ameri- can boats, one of which will doubtless be the Shamrock TVS opponent.

ARE BEHIND COACH
Columbia Students Show Dawson
 They Are With Him in the Onsting of Frank Canapary.

New York Nov. 12.-Fred Dawson,
 the Columbia football coach, yester-
 day received ample proof that he has
 in his decisive action in ousting
 Frank Canapary from the captaincy.
 When the squad reported for prac- $tfce on South Field yesterday after noon hundreds of students lined the 2gridiron to watch the eleven work & out. Further demonstration of the back ! ing accorded the coach was shown when, with the permission of Jim Rice, several members of the crew $announced their intention of report ling for the team, including Capt. Bob OLoughlin. Duncan Leys and Harry < Ffolwig, all "C'' men.
 Tom Farrell a tackle two years ago, captain of the basketball team ' and pitcher on the varsity baseball team, had a long drill at right half back but it is doubtful if he will start & in Saturdays game with Wesleyan. Dawson received disQuieting news &concerning Quigley, to the effect that
 affection had developed in his injured leg and that if he played again he m :ght be crippled for life.
 No heavy work was attempted on the wet, treacherous turf. Dawson refused to run the risk of enlarging his hospital squad and confined the S practice to a snappy drill in signals, 8 in which the forward pass predonli- H ated.

MURPHY ABLE 10
 ENTER TIGER TILT
Clever Kicker DonS Togs Again After LayoD Since B. (. Game

New Haven, Nov. 12.-Thorne 1 Murphy donnod a uniform yesterday. 1 Although he did not take active part 1 in the practice and limped decidedly, , it was evident from his appearance l that should Ialc be in dire straits for a field goal next Saturday, Mikes son will be able to go in. He would he rushed out of the game imm ediately after boot of course.
 Vest sterday's practice made up some- what for Mondays layotf. It was the longest workout of the year, lasting from ? o'clock until dark. Two scrimmages were held. The varsity took on the college scrubs and a matter of course Herb I<empton feat ured He took Gailard's kickoff on the 20-yard line and ran it back 10 the 40-yard mark. By straight llne plunging the ball finally was carried over to Bob Lay, who took Fred Webbs place at right half yesterday afternoon.
 Lay looks like the selection for this position Saturday, with Howard Campbell obablN first substitute. Mae Aldrich was shifted to right half yesterday afternoon and for a time replaced Lay on the kickoff. Fol lowing Lays touchdown, Rem ptOn contributed his feature act by running the ball so yards for a touchdown.
 A long signal drill started things going yesterday. It lasted } minutes and presented varsity lineup which undoubtedly will start against Prince ton. It follows: Reinhardt left end; Dic5inS left tackle: Galt. left guard. Callahan, center; Acosta, right guard; Walker, right tackle Allen, right end; Kempton, quarterback; Neville, Jeff halfback; Lay, right halfbac&; French, fullback.
 Large Coaching Corps.
 As usual, a large group of former stars were at the field to assist in the coaching. In the number yesterday were Paul Veeder, w. w. Hetfelfinger, Burr Chamberlin, T. l.. Lilley, c. r. lNcott, D. Bomisler, Foggy Ainsworth. Paul Vceder and Al Sharpe took, charge of the backfield, while the others gave their attention to the line.
 The backs went through formations and kicking practice, while the var sity and the second varsity lines charged against each other. Frel Graham, the hardest worker of the squad, returned to a tackle position yesterday He was a substitute tackle on Blacks team in 1916, but coaches this year attempted to change him into an end. This move, however, to put him back at tackle clinches left end honors for Spider Reinhar1t, whom Jack Gates has converted from a backfeld man to an end this season.

Clark and Vail Are Placed Upon the
 Hospital List.

Amherst, Mass, Nov. 12.-The
 injuries to the Amherst football team as a result of the hard game with Wesleyan at first appeared slight, but
 have developed into something quite
 serious Clark and Vail, the tackles, will be out, but their places will be
 taken by Cummings and Demarest, |who are no easy pair to stop. Bab Davison, the star end, also may be out because of a wrenched shoulder. His place probably will be taken by Wing, who is a very fast man, par tfcularly on receiving forward passes. A light practice was held yesterday without any scrimmase.

Princeton, N.

 This brings up the problem of what #the Tigers are going to do against &1ale' next Saturday.

While Keene Fitz- Xpatrick is satisfied with the condition Iof the Tiger players at the present < time, Orange and Black followers arc
 hot optimistic about the chances next Saturday.
 If either Trimble or Struhing were

 Colgate, West Virginia and Harvard, gould stand the attack of Ia1e's
 pIunging backs. However, Princeton hdmirers are hoping for the best, and the team that will go to New Haven will carry with it the confidence of
 800 undergraduates and the fight
 ing spirit that refused to be beaten #by Harvard.

THE VIEW DISTRICT.

On the petition of certain citizens
residing in the southern end of Fall
ing Spring district, on Monday, the
9th, the County Court established
the Frankford district. When the
petition was first signed very con-
siderable opposition to the division
of the district was raised in the
upper end of the district, but the
contest finally narrowed down to
the location Of thn dividinq line.
In other words, it was agreed that
a divorce was desirable, but the
people of the district could not
agree on the line of separation. The
Renick and Frankford communities
were each represented by consid-
cradle number Of their representa-
tive and substantial citizens. Evil
uence and arguments were heard By
the Court, and the Court went to
the neighborhood of the proposed
lines. Late that evening the court
entered an order establishing the
following line:
Beginning at the Dry Pond on
Peach Orchard Mountain on the An
thongs Greek district line, thence
straight line to the mouth of
Spring Greek, and up Spring Creek
with the meanders thereof TO the
bridge. on the Martins Bottom
Turnpike, thence westward with the
line between precincts No, 2 and
Huff's Store precinct, crossing
Spring Greek Mountain through the
old Butler place, to the Williams
burg district line.
Greenbrier county now has her
full quota Of districts. 1t was the
contention of the citizens of the up
per district that the division estab-
lished would give them the heavier
burden Of roads and schools in pro-
portion to values.
The movement TO divide the dis
trict grew out Of move to estab-
lish and locate q firSt-class high
school.

The meeting will be held instead
the week of June 23rd with pro-

The postponement caused keen
disappointment among the Young
people of this county who were
planning to make the trip but the
new date will suit most of them
equally as well. Young folks from
forty West Virginia counties had
enrolled for the course.
The health authorities of a num-
Der Of counties learned that many
