ARMY WORKS LONG AND HARD
West Point Eleven Suffers Casualties
 in Hard ScrimmaSe.

West Point, \: Y.,s Nov. 12.-The Army football squad had a.. hard workout on a muddy field yesterday. Four teams were sent through a fight ing scrimmage. Time after time the big team was forced to carry the ball from one end of the field to the other against a strong scrub team.
 It is felt that the only way to cor rect the many glaring faults that popped up in the game last Saturday is by long and hard scrimmaging During the practice, Vogel and Sha- packer, on the varsity, succumbed to slight injuries, while Spettle, Haskell and Singer, on the scrubs, joined the hospital squad.
 It was reported yesterday z that Bryan and lBlail1, who have been sick in the hospital since the latter part of last week, may not be able to re- join the squad again this season. Breidster and Pitzer are being groomed to take Bryan's place at guard, while George may be shifted from quarterback on the second eleven to end on the varsity to fill Blaik's berth.

QUAKERS DRILL IN MUD.
Prepare for the Pitt Eleven; Expect
 25,OOO at Game.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 12.- Remembering the bloWup in the Penn State game principally on account of wet turf and a greasy ball, Coach Bob Folwell put the Penn team through a long drill in the rain yesterday afternoon. Practice was held ut Franklin Field and not at the Pine Valley golf links as had been planned. It was the first time this season that the Red and Blue had drilled in the rain. The squad left for Pine Valley today and will spend the next three days there.
 The Penn backfield was made up of Captain Bell at quarter; Joe Straus and Ben Derr, halfbacks, and Bots Brunner, fullback. Herb Dieter and Hobey Light did not practice. They are nursing bad injuries. #
 There was no scrimmage, but Fol- we'll had the men working in the mud for a long time. Brunner starred in picking the spirals out of the air. '
 The sale of tickets for the Pitt game is the biggest in years. Tho public sale opened today It is ex- pected that more than 25,00O persons will see Saturdays game. %t

PREVENTS BOXING SHOW
Supreme Court Judge Declines to Grant Injunction to Restrain Police
 from Interfering with Benefit Bouts.

New York, Nov. 12.-Suprem e Court Justice Delehanty denied. the application of Major James F. Dun seith for an injunction to prevent the police from interfering with the ex- hibition of boxing at the Sixty-sixth street armory. Justice Delehanty suggested that the boxing bouts might be held for the benefit of the Red Cross and that collections might be taken up as the crowd passed out of the armory. This would not be a violation of the law forbidding the taking of admission fees for boxing exhibitions.
 Police Inspector Henry, who stopped the boxing bouts last week, said that he regretted that he had to act. He said the sending of wom e,l collectors among the spectators to take contributions was equivalent to collecting an admission fec

COLGATE MAKES SHIFTS.
Drowne Goes to Center and Hanson
 to a Wing.

Hamilton, N. Y, Nov. 12.--The Colgate football squad participated in practice yesterday afternoon on a muddy and slippery field which made clean handling of the ball out of the question. The first team was ptted against the second team for a half hour .scrimmage.
 Two new faces appeared in the line- up of the regulars, DrOWne at center and Hanson at end. Hanson's work was scrutinized closely as he is just beginning to develop. Due to his late start and the injuries he sustained earlier in the year his progress has been materially retarded. His work with the forward pass is both clever and sklllful.
 Drowne at center is aggressive, ac- curate with the forward pass and will undoubtedly be given q chance.
 The close of the practice saw Laid Anderson and Captain West devoting much time to kicking, and in this de- partm ent of the game West is show ing steady improvement. The squad is without the services lCf Substitute Guard Brewer. who was rushed to the hospital last Saturday with a serious cttse of appendicitis. His absence veakens the already weak substitute list.
