Cornell Eleven Has
Long Drill; MI a III y
New Plays Tried Out

ITHACA. N. Y. Oct. 2s.-Head Coach
speedy" Rush put the Cornell squad
through a long and stiff practice this
afterro n after a comparatively light
workout yesterday. Clear cold weathel :
supp4anted the rain and fog of yester-
day, SO that the men played with
greater spirit.
1t is apparent that from now until
the Penn game, on Thanksgiving, the
team will be trained in offensive work,
which was SO visibly lacking in the
Dartmouth contest in New York. This
afternoon the practice was secret again,
and the coaches sent the men through
number of new plays. The scrub line
was unable to so.ve the attack and
the varsity went through the line for
long gains.
Taylor, the right tackle. has been out
of the scrimmage for a coupe of days
because of an injury to his shoulder
which he suffered week or more ago,
but the hurt will not be sufficient to
keep him out Of the game with La
fayctte on Saturday, since he has been
on the field and in UNIFORM both yes
terday and to-day.
The setting back of the clock has
handicapped practice here, and after
the first of the month the men will
drill in the baseball cage.

Spinning and weaving
are two of the earliest arts
practised by man. In the
most primitive days he slew
his prey for food and
clothed himself in it's skin.
But the early adams"
soon discovered that it was
the wool or hair of the skin
that gave them warmth,
and that by detaching,
spinning and weaving this
wool they could clothe
themselves much more
conveniently.
The extreme antiquity of
the arts of spinning and
weaving, however, is not
more remarkable than the
slowness of their develop
ment.
Until the beginning of
the 18th century wool was
spun and woven entirely
by hand.
vi odern methods. of
course, produce a much
more uniform texture.
Our suits of *"Fore-
fathers Cloth are a good
example of this develop
ment.
Excellent business suits
for men who are hard on
their clothes.

Jim Braden's Work
esScrimmage
OF the Yale Eleven

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 28.-When
Jim Braden reported for his first scrim-.
maglng since his eyes were blackened
by the punching he received in the
Boston College game, he was assigned
to tullbach service OIL the second team.
This was not in the nature of set
back, but because the coaches wanted
to test the varsity defense and be
lieved that an attack Of Jim Braden's
would be the best prescription for try
ing it out.
Braden smashed up the varsity line
and finally made the only score of the
day, but only after he had been pro-
NOTED to the varsity In this play his
team grabbed the ball on tumble al
the five yard line, and therefore Braden
didn't gain much actual ground by
rushing.
Bradens defensive play bothered the
regulars nearly as mucn as as ag
gressive offensive game, for the burls
fullback, standing in the secondary
line, checked the regular backs time
and again.
For the first time in FIVE weeks Joe
Neville was back in the scrimmaging.
but his only contribution to the near
scoring was trial field goal from
the 40-yard line The ball went
astray Jim Neville p aged alongside
his namesake, for he was given the
post of varsity quarterback for the
first time this season, allowing the
regular incumbent, Herbert Kempton.
to take days vacation. The former
varsity quarterback, Chester La Roche
was again on the scrub
Captain Tim Callahan was again al
snapback for the signal drill but was
replaced by Kenneth Hamill in the
scrimmaging, as Bill Calvin, who
played a tiptop center last Saturday,
was resting. Because of the heat.
Walker, Acosta, Dickens and the en-
tire varsity backfie d were laid off eX-
cept Fred Webb, whose rushing was
less effective than usual.
After extended preliminary work in
running back kick offs the second team
took the ball to test the regulars de-
fense. and Braden lifted e4 goai
from the 30-yard mark When the
second varsity took the ball and failed
to advance. Aldrich prnted to the
20-yard line, and Fredericks fell
on me bali on a tumble A.drich then
got away a forward pass which Rock
we'll caught. Braden fumbled and AL
drich fell on the ball, but the scrubs
failed to gain, and Braden's drop kick
failed.
Instead of graphing longer with the
second team. the varsity tack ed the
scrubs. Fredericks, who with Bracer
was new in the varsity backfield, lifted
long punt which was fumbled by
the scrubs Sho-,'i- r~'';- %

Penn Holds Secret
Practice for First
Time in 2 Years

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2s.-Franklin
Field was closed to-day to all but
favored few while the Penn eleven
held secret practice, the first time
this has been done in. two seasons.
Head Coach Folwell ordinarily dislikes
holding secret drills, but he decided it
would be best to keep the gates locked
to-day while the Red and Blue team
changed signals in preparation for the
hard game with Hugo Bezdek's State
College team this coming Saturday.
Folwell was much intere ted in a re-
port of the State College Ursinus tussle
last Saturday, which State College won,
48 to Z. The observations were made
oy Allie Miller, brother of Heine and
Kay. Allie also was among those pres
ent at the Dartmouth, State College
game at Hanover, and he has collected
some valuable inside information on
bezdek's eleven, in Folwell's opinion.
The State team is fun of tricks ("
runs with the ball, is tackled and then
fails to get up. He looks to be hurt.
His mates rush toward him, apparently
intending to aid him. In flash the
supposed victim jumps to his feet, the
ball is put in motion and the State
player are off, to the surprise of their
opponents. This stunt was pulled
again at both Dartmouth and Ursinus
another trick is State player
yelling out he hasn't go the sig
nails. But he has. and after his
mates have relaxed. they suddenly
charge with all their usual fierceness
The brief interruption is enough to
throw the opposing team off its
guard"
In Miller's opinion the State player
Penn will have to watch most closely
is Charlie Way, whose forte is taking
the ball on the kickoff and running
50 or more yards for a touchdown.
He did this against Dartmouth and he
repeated the stunt" against Ursinus.
Way is from Parkersburg, Pa.
Rex Wray took Belts place at quar-
terback to-day and ran the Penn eleven
through the new formations. Bell
hopes his injured right arm Will re-
spond to treatment by Saturday, but
Il it does not mend by then Wray will
be the Penn pilot. Lud Wray also was
kept out of to-day's practice, and his
brother Alex was snapperback in Lud' 8
place. Crawford, who has been substi-
tute center for Lud, was on the second
eleven. Alex Wray was the regular
Penn center in 1917, and it now appears
chat he will be made Lud's first under
study, for which his experience would
seem to qualify him.
The Penn coaches evidently are de-
termined to continue playing Ray
Miller at left end instead of Bud Hop
per, and there is little doubt that Ray
will start at the left flank against
State. He will be pitted against Cap
tain Bob Higgins, who is considered
very close to all-American calibre.

The coaching staff was far from sat
isfed with the showing of the team
against the Princeton offensive and
termed the Colgate defensive ragged.
Consequently, they have seen to it that
drill in defensive work is begun early
in the week
This afternoons practice consisted Of
every form of defensive play that could
be used. At the conclusion of the drill
the coaches announced that the show
ing was far from satisfactory, but
that the first step had been taken to
remed the defect, and that the work
would continue until they we're of the
opinion that the team could withstand
the strong Dartmouth offensive.
The four teams participated in q
scrimmage which lasted about an hour,
the varsity being put on the defensive
through the entire session against the
third and fourth teams staged battle
: royal. the ball seesawing up and down
the field, with neither team scoring.
Toward the close of the workout of
= the first two teams Woolsey, who has
been substituting for Gillo, broke away
from the varsity and made q run Of
thirty-five yards for touchdown, the
only score of the scrimmage. The easy
manner in which Woolse, evaded the
first team players was very discourag-
ing to the visitors.
The coaches were pleased with the
showing Of Woolsey. They have been
watching him closely Of late and have
observed that mis- work has been i'm
proving. His playing to-day convinced
them that they finally have a man
who can play in Gillo's place should
the latter be unable to pla. Saturday.
There was no offensive at all under
taken this afternoon, but it was
announced, that to-morrows practice
will see offensive training for the team,
as well as drill in defensive work.

'Quigley and Shaw
Will Not Be Used
In Saturdays Game

1t begins to appear that the Co.
lumbia lineup will contain many
substitutes in the Union game this
coming Saturday. In the practice yes
terday Coach Dawson was compelled
to try out some new combinations in
the backfeld in the absence of Ed
Quigley and Charlie Shaw.
Quigley cannot possibly play Saturday
with his leg in the condition in which
it was yesterday. And Fred Dawson
will not in all probability allow Shaw
to take any chances with his broken
nose. Thornton, who replaced Shaw
Saturday. will capably fill Shaw's
shoes. He is not as fleet in skirting
the ends, but he makes up for this in
other ways. He is strong man on
the defense, and also hits the line
we'll. He punts even better than Shaw,
his long, high spirals giving the ends
plenty of chance to get down the field.
Eccles is the man who will probably
be used at quarter. This fellow is
about the best built football man on
and weighs 1856. He has been
bothered all year with a bad leg but
is now in the best of condition. With
Eccles calling the signals, and Cana
parry, Appelbaum and Thornton sup
porting him, the backfeld would be
heavy, line-bucking combination.
The line is in good condition, but
the forwards will probably b, changed
during the game. In practice yester-
day. the second set of linemen worked
almost as we'll as the first Tom
Thorp is devoting his attention to
them. so that now the team can boast
of a second eleven which can replace
the varsity without materially weak
ening the team.
The practice was shorter than usual
because of the earlier darkness How
ever, the scrimmage was especially
strenuous as the seconds continued to
improve. few more new formations
were given to the varsity and the
men were sent to the showers. Prac-
t!ce will start earlier hereafter.

Williams Prepares
For Wesleyan Game

WILLIAMsTOWN, Mass, Oct. 2s.-
With all the cripples back in the line
up again, Williams started to get ready
for Wesleyan at to-day's practice. A
long signal drill took up most of the
practice for the varsity. Coach Black
gave particular attention to getting
the backfield men working together
more smoothly.
Unless mishaps are suffered during
the week, Williams will place its
strongest eleven in the leld at Middle
town. Captain Boynton has fully re-
covered from his injury, while Beckett
and Carick have also left the hospital
list. Brown. a new man, is showing
up we'll behind the line.

Heard on College Cridiir'ons

The quarterback's position is gen
orally considered the most essential on
football team, but there are many
who believe some of the other places
in the lineup are equally important
to teams success. Great stress, for
instance, is laid on the center position
by coaches. Without capable center
team can 20 nowhere. 1t was the
fault of the center that lost Yale the
game against Boston College recently.
Coach Cavanauch of Boston College.
IN his book on "Ins de Football" says:
"A center need not necessarily be heavy
II he is aggressive and scrappy But nc
must be game, and must be able to
pass, pass, and then pass. He must
be the kind of man the team has con-
fidence in, and he must be capable on
the defense"
There are a number of excellent foot
ball centcrs among the Eastern COL
leges. Robertson, of Syracuse, brother
Of the Dartmouth player; Cunningham,
of Dartmouth; Goldman, of Lehigh;
Heaphy. of Boston College, and Gala
han. Of Yale are among the best. They
are oil good passcrs, good defensive
players and clever on the offense as
we'll
One Of the best players, particularly
as regards passing. and one seldom
heard of, was Leon "Red" Harvey, for
mer star center Of the Springfield Y. NJ.
c. A. College. When Harvey first be-
gan playing the position in the Tech
nical High School of Springfield, he
practiced diligently on the spiral pass.
He became SO proficient that when he
entered college he was able to pass
perfectly from center up to distance
Of some twenty-five yards. Harvey
weighed only 100 pounds, but was as
fast as any Of his ends.
A center who is able to pass we'll Is
big asset to team. For one thing,
the puntcr can stand further back of
the scrimmagc line If the center is IA
sure passer than II he is uncertain.
In this position ne (the kicker stands

blocked.
Robertson, Of Dartmouth, for in

able to stand at least thirteen yards

Rutgers Uses Whitewash
Ball in Its Practice

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. j., Oct 2S-
The end of daylight saving is playing
havoc with Rutgers football practice,
and whitewashed ball was introduced
by Coach Sanford this. afternoon. 80
that he could keep his men at work
during the early evening. Sanford Is
working his men hard all this week in
preparation for the Syracuse contest
in New York on Election Day. but ne is
planning to slacken up toward the end
sf the week. He is concentrating on
the ofrcnse at the present time, his
theory being that the only chance Of
defeating the New Workers is to "gct
the jump" on them with a series of
whirlwind plays. Practice all this
week will be behind closed gates.

ms line was strong cave him oodlcs of
time to get his kicks away. Shiverick,
on the other hand, stood rather close
to the line, not more than seven yards
back at times. His line was weak and
he was forced to hurry practically
every kick. On some punts he didn't
hurry enough. and hardly had the ball
left his foot than it smashed against
the onrushing Dartmouth forwards.
Yea, verify, a punter's worries become
he stands far back and if his line
holds.
1t is reported that the punter on the
w. and j. team stands twenty yards
back from the line of scrimmage when
kicking. In which case his average for
having kicks blocked must be some
thing like 900.

Adams Off Hospital List

After much needed day of rest the
New York University football squad
resumed its hard work yesterday after
noon. Coaches Longwell and Gargan
sent their charges through a tough
three hour drill in an endeavor to cor
rect the faults displayed in last Sat-
urday's game with Rensselaer, Poly.
Particular attention was paid to the
line, which still showed weakness in
offensive p ay. The greatest fault last
week was the poor protection afforded
Captain Cam when he attempted to
punt. Time and time again the up
staters' forwards broke through, and
only missed blocking Cnnn's punts by
the narrowcst of margins. SO Coach
Longwel devoted most of the after
noon to teaching his men how to de-
fend the kicker.
