HARVARD VARSITY
GETS TOUCHDOWN
Ralph Horween Plunges
Through Scrub Line for
Score.
Special Despatch TO The Sun.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct. 1.-The long
est scrimmage of the preliminary season
was held in the Stadium between the
Harvard varsity and the second team
to-day following a long drill on plays
by Teams "A" and "B." Against the
scrubs Coach Fisher used practically all
of his varsity men. The outfit again did
a fine days work on defence, and
showed an offensive punch when. al
lowed to start s' F-- '-ll
At first the regulars opposed to the
scrubs were slow TO get down to work,
but after the ball had been carried to
within three yards of the goal the first
string line held perfectly and thsre was
no score. Later, attacks were stopped
short and finally. when the varsity
started rushing. IL carried the ball the
length of the field. The rush stopped
when r. Horween missed a field goal
shot from the thirty-yard line, but the
varsity settled down to steady gains
again and Horween scored touchdown
Paul Wilmington and Leo Leary were
out as coaches, the latter getting into
the scrub lineup for a. time. The regu-
lars started as they did yesterday, but
later Hubbard and Kane got in at
tackles, Woods and Hadley being in
these positions for Team "B" In the
earlier drill.
Halfback Burnham was hurt again
to-day and was assisted from the field.
His leg would not stand the strain of
hard work after more than weeks
absence. The varsity defence is COM
ing along well now, and the linemen
have made a lot of improvement since
the opening game.

ROPER SENDS TIGERS
THROUGH LONG DRILL
Rain Transforms Princeton
Field Into Muddy Lake.
Special Despatch to Tur srv.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. Coach
Roper sent his Tiger squad through a
two hour workout this afternoon in
spite of the fact that an all day rain
had transformed University Field into
small lake. Roper sent his men
through their last drill in fundamentals
before the Trinity game. Starting with
falling on the ball and practising charg-
ing the Imen went through "a long hard
session.
Later in the day the six teams lined
up and ran through a brief signal ses-
sion. Team A showed the same lineup
as it did yesterday and stayed out Il
little later than did The other teams
Coach Roper made frequent substitute
lions in the varsity bacAleld, but II
seems likely that the same team that
defeated the second varsity yesterday
so decisively will face Trinity.
Tomorrow Roper hopes to stage an
other scrimmage, weather permitting
while Friday will be devoted to a light
workout and signal session. One fea-
ture of to-day's work was the time de-
together The halfbacks also We're
drilled in getting down the field to cover
punts.
The athletic association is making
plans TO handle the largest opening
game crowd that has ever come to
Princeton. Several classes plan to hold
one day football reunions, and a fea-
ture OF the days programme will be a
football meeting in Alexander Hall
Saturday evening.

CINCINNATI. Oct. 1.--while neither Pat

Just before play started each manager

the Cincinnati team said: I'VE have
clearly earned our way into the series
and we clearly will earn our way
through it. 1 believe that we have the
better pitching. In fact, I do not know
when a team ever went into so great an
event with SO strong a string OF first
class hurlers.\ have six men on any
one of whom can depend for excellent
service. My pitcher for the opening
game will be Walter Ruether. The team
deserves the lions share of the credit, for
II is a great ball club which fought its
way through the season without sign
of faltering. We are going up against
a great ball club, but 1 think we will
hold our own"
Manager Gleason of the White Sox
gave voice to the following my boys are
a great bunch and they are going to be
very hard to beat. The team battled It's
way through the American League with
such confidence and such absolute nerve
in all the pinches that have the utmost
confidence in each and every player. At
the same time / fully realize that we
are going to be submitted TO a supreme
test in this series. / have known Pat
Moran for many years and he Is a tough
nan to beat. Also any club that could
stand off the Giants as the Reds did on
three different occasions Is going to be
no easy mark for any club. But l be-
lieve that my pitchers have been under
estimated. Welfare here to win and We
hope TO do So"
