The bathing girls whose habitat
is Los Angeles or Whereabouts in
California are seeing New York"
Perhaps some people would put il
the other way and insist that if
there was any seeing to be done
New York was being shown some
sights. Everybody is wondering,
however, where they got the official
name of bathing girls, for the near

This interesting troupe of girls
attract considerable attention even
in blase New York, for they motor
about in open taxicabs in their
gorgeous bathing suits and have
even paraded through the parks ar
rayed like mermaids from their Cal

who has haunted their footsteps
was on the spot when this young
miss decided to see what water was
like. He claims she's the first one
who has evtnced any interest what
ever in it.

Harvard Subs Get
Two TOuchdowns
Against VARSITY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Oct. IA
Showers soaked the stadium football
field this afternoon, making the going
slippery, but in spite of this Harvard's S
coaches put their men through their
PAGES following a long lecture on the
not altogether satisfactory play in the
Colby game on Saturday.
The Crimson started it's preparation
for this weeks contest with Brown, the
regulars and then the substitutes
scrimmaging hard against the scrub.
The varsity made no great headway,
losing one score because of poor pass
back by Centre Rush Havemeyer and
getting one on series of short line
plunges after a muffcd kick by the
scrub had put the varsity on the Of
fensive on the 15-yard line.
The subs did better, Nelson inter
cepting a forward pass and running IS
yards for one touchdown; and Arthur
Horween getting another on q 20-yaru
plunge through the line. Captain Muir
ray was out Tor signal drill o-day, but
did not take part in the scrimmaging
Kane, the left tackle, however, was in
the thick of the play, while Desmond
was moved from right to left end.
Another change was using Humphrey
at left halfback and putting Hamilton
in R. Horween's place as substitute
fullback. Eddie Mahan was on the field
looking things over, and possibly will
do some coaching. Hardwick and Trun-
bull also were out.

Players Get a Trial
On Army VARSITY
BY BRIGGS

WEST POINT, Oct. 14.-Although tho
Army had a practive today it was
light, consisting chiefly Of signal work
The men came out of the hard Syra-
cuse battle in fair condition aside from
some bruises. Blaik was not in the
drill to-day, nor was Greene or Nc
Quarrie. This trio is resting, but viii
resume heavy work tomorrow
The coaches were not very we'll salts
fed with the teams showing against
Syracuse, and the whole squad is due
for strenuous week. To-day McDavld,
Post and Tueder were moved over from
the Cullum Hall squad to the regulars,
and all three of these players worked
with the big team. Alternating in Me
Queries place.
Post looks the most promising and
may get a regular berth behind the
line if he keeps up his good work.
Travis was back in togs day for the
first time in four weeks. He play d
for brief spell at tackle. as did Dan
iel, who is expected to land a regular
job in the front line.
White and Tormey, the latter a
tackle, were also in to-day scrim-
mage. Both have been en- the injured
list for a fortnight. White is an end
and came here from the University OF
Maine, where he played in 1916.

Tigers Worked
Hard in Mud
To Cure Faults
Fumbling Hereafter TO Be
Considered all Offence
in Game or Scrimmage

PRINCETON, n. j., Oct. 14.-Coach
Roper postponed the practice game
scheduled between the first and sec
ond elevens to-day because of the pour
ing rain that made the gridiron at
University Field a morass Of mud. In
place Of the usual scrimmage he gave
the freshmen the ball on the 'varsity's
10-yard line and let the yearlings slam
line plays toward the goal for twenty
minutes.
The freshmen went through for three
touchdowns in that time. This practice
afforded good opportunity for the
line to correct the faults of high charg-
ing and off-side play that have been
worrying the coaches since the opening
of the season and Roper was not dis
pleased with the afternoons result
The backs spent over an hour in
booting wet balls in the rain and nearly
the same time in trying to improve
their ability to hang on to punts and
forward passes. Fumbling is hereafter
to be considered serious offence at
Tigertown, either in games or scrm-
images.
The ends put in a busy afternoon
tackling the soggy dummies. Roper is
especially anxious to make the tackling
of the wing men cleaner. Against
Lafayette the ends showed a tendency
to hit the runner, claw him and then
let him slip through for several yards
until the backs brought him down.
At the end Of the practice all the
men were lined up in pairs and had
practice in rudimentary blocking.

Lafayette Loses Tackle
For HaverfOrd Game

EASTON, Penn, Oct. 14.--Prospects
for Lafayette victory over Havcrford
College on March Field this Saturday
were given severe jolt to-day when
it was learned that Schwab, the big
tackle who came from Kiski, might be
unable to play against the Leaders.
Schwab received bruise on his right
shinDone in the Princeton game last
Saturday. This morning the bruisc
had swollen and spread. If Schwab
IS unable to play Saturday, the Maroon
and White line will be weakened con-
s,dcrrbiy.
Tho rain day WAS welcomed by
Coaches Sutherland and Seidel. The
men were on edge for the Princeton
same and the storm caused the coaches
to give the men II holiday and thus
keep them from going stale for the
Haverford contest.

With Jerry Carick
Back on Cridiron

WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass, Oct. ID
All doubt was removed to-day about
Jerry Carrick's ability to play in the
gam, With Columbia in New York
Saturday. when he appeared in uniform
fo- the first time since his injury two
weeks ago. Although his leg is still
bothering him. he showed the same ag
grcssive spirit that has characterized
his playing throughout tho season.
Carrick's return to practice means that
Williams will face the Blue and White
with full strength.
Joe Brooks put his men through d
hard practice to-day, in spite OF the
driving rain which fell all afternoon
mud puddle. While the lnesmen
under Coach Wilmington put in a half
hours work on the tackling dummy
Brooks had the backs and ends receiv-
ing kicks and forward passes Despite
the slippery ball, there was practically
no fumbling. Lasallc did the punting
this afternoon. averaging fifty-five
yards throughout the practice.
Although all the ends showed great
improvement in getting down field
under the punts, Joslyn and Christian.
the men who played the wing positions
in the Cornell game, were especially
considers Christian the best find" Of
the year. He came from Pawling
school three years ago.
Later in the afternoon there was Il
strenuous scrimmage. Burger was run
ming the first team, Montgomcr taking
his place at halfback. Montgomery is
one of the heaviest and scrappicst of
the Williams backield men. In 1917 he
was the most reliable ground gamer
the freshmen had Montgomery's
speed around the ends and Kricger's
line plunging, with Captain Boynton's
ali-around ability, make for Williams
