SYRACUSE, Oct 30.-Two thousand
students. including several hundred CO.
eds, snake danced and paraded to the
central depot here at o'clock tonight
to cheer the Syracuse football squad on
its way TO Providence, where 1t will play
the husky Brown team Saturday. II
was one of the greatest send ofts ever
given to a Syracuse team.
There were cheers for every player
and for every coach. and red fire was
burned as the boys boarded the sleeper
which will take them TO Worcester.
There they will spend Friday. practising
in the afternoon on the Worcester Acad-
envy gridiron. The squad Of twenty-six
men will leave Worcester Friday night
for the camp of the Brownonians.
This afternoons drill on wet field
was light. the varsity men running
through only a signal practise, as the
team IL trained to the minute for the
Brown conflict in the opinion OF the
coaches. The line will be exactly the
same as that which started against Pitt
and Washington and jefferson. with
Brown and Schwarzer at ends, Segal and
Hoople at tackles, Gulick and Captain
Alexander at guards and Robertson al
centre.
There probably will be a change In
the backfield. however Ackley will be
found at quarterback and Erwig at full
back. witt Abbott at one of the half
backs. Barsha, the line bucker, who ha,
not been going so well of late, may not
start, either Fallon or Parker getting
the call because Of their fine showing
during the last few days.

DEFENSIVE DRILL
FOR HARVARD TEAM
Crimson Players Are Being

Forward Passes.
special pespatch TO TIE SUI.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 30.-In Har-
wards long secret practice session this
afternoon there was no bristling scrim-
mage for the varsity or substitutes, but
the drill was one characteristic of the
Crimson's policy OF carefulness In its
plays and In the working out Of the
defensive stations and moves for the
plays It has reason to expect 1t will be
up against next week at Princeton. The
rush lire is being bolstered to be pre-
pared for such swift plunging plays
aimed to shoot a runner through. such as
the Tiger attempted with no great sue
cess against Colgate last week. The
Cambridge coaches are doing lot OF
work with their team on defence for
forward passing.
The varsity team and the substitutes
had a long drill against each other
first. and then came the defensive les
sons against the scrubs. Scores by
Rushing were not looked for and none
came, but FELTON, made a couple of drop
kick goals from outside the 80 yard
limit. He did better than Captain Muir
ray who is having a hard time 10 draw
line on the goal posts.

RAIN DRIVES YALE
ELEVEN INDOORS
Entire Blue Varsity Gets Into
Long Signal Drill in Ar
mory-La Roche Plays.

New HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 30.--Heavy
rains to-day caused Coach Sharpe TO
choose the Yale armory as the scene
OF this afternoons workout. The Yale
chief was prof.ting by costly experience
obtained from losing several OF his play
ers temporarily by injuries received on
wet field. The wooden floor Of the
armory would not permit a scrimmage,
but a long and needed signal drill re-
suited. Every regular. with the excep-
ton of Dickens, who was replaced by
Walker worked in the signal practice.
Forward passing was emphasized In
the workout Chef La Roche, having re-
covered from his muscle bound condition,
resumed play, plotting a second string
backfield, which will alternate the regu-
lar backs on the varsity. This backfield,
incidentally very powerful one. ID
made UP of Aldrich and French as half
backs and Jim Braden, fuilback. Every
one of these three has shown up well
this season, and the combination should
be good when tried out against Mary
land Saturday.
Campbell, n 1916 freshman halfback
returned to the squad to-day. having re-
covered from leg inquiries, received ten
days ago. He had to be replaced, how

DARTMOUTH LINE STRONG.
Eleven Works Smoothly I'm Last
Practice for Colgate Tilt.

HANOVER, n. H.. Oct. S0.-Forty
minutes OF stiff scrimmasing this after
noon left the Dartmouth varsity primed
for Saturdays meeting here with Col
gate. Coach Spears has now the whole
eleven working more smoothly than at
any previous time this season. The line
has developed into one OF the strongest
Dartmouth defences of all time, and the
backfield made up OF Cannell, Eckberg,
Robertson and Jordan, presents an at
tack powerful in every respect. Only
on the ends, where second string men
are still in the varsity lineup, Is there
any cause for uncertainty.
In to-days practice the scrub team
using Colgate formations, gained con-
sistently. Several times they threatened
the regulars goal. Time and again the
heavy first team line stiffened, after long
advances by the scrubs. Jim Robertson
was put through a long session in drop
kicking after the scrimmage, together
with Bert Bckberg, who also is being
groomed 20 score for the Green by the
aerial route. Both men made good sew
eral times.

SCHEDULE QUESTION
WILL CAUSE DEBATE
Lessons Learned From 1919
Football Cards Will Help
Big Three Teams.
PRINCETON FACES TASK
Walker Converts New York
Aggies From Prep Eleven In
to Collegiate Contender.

In the discussion that will follow the
tootoail season much interesting debate
may be expected among the big three
IN regard to the wisdom or lack of It
OF their 1919 schedule. and in regard to
the charts they will draw for 1920. with
the best material Of any OF the big
three, Harvard mapped out the least
dlmcult schedule, while Yale's chart was
ABOUT the General average and Prince
tons was unseemly difficult.
Princeton faced its quite strenuous
card with the poorest material of any
OF the big three teams, and the Tigers
necessarily must face practically the
same thing next year II none of Prince
toms vlctors be dropped Colgate is
certain to retain its place. and West
Virginia will do the same If the Noun
taineers should beat the Tigers to-mor-
!, row.
Yale will not face tie necessity Of
meeting anything harder than this sea-
son. as the Boston College game is the
only one thus far that is necessary next
year to vindicate Eli gridiron prowess.
Brown may beat Yale, but even If the
Bruins lose 1t is hardly possible that
Yale will drop them from the card. For
TWO decades the Brown game has been
the Blues last and most difficult test
before running into big games.
Harder Schedule for Harvard.
Harvard no doubt will tackle a more
dincult chart in 1920. The Fisher sys-
tam will be working smoothly and Grim
eon ambitions are sure to soar. The
reason an easy programme was chosen
this fall was because Harvard. due to
the war. knew too little of what con-
ditions would obtain by the time the
season rolled around. And since Har-
ward invited trouble In the shape of the
Colgate eleven. even this year. 1t might
be considered a matter of luck that the
Crimson card is light. In this day OF
strange football no one ever can tell how
strong or how weak team will be until
1t is time for the game to be played.
If Harvard should win the big three
championship this fall another inter
sectional game would be quite attractive
for the Crimson next fall. The Michi-
SRn-Harvard game of 1914 Is pleasantly
remembered by ALL even by Michigan,
which lost and knew how to take it,
and a Northumberland game in 1920
would be a rare treat. Although Ohio
defeated Michigan by 10 to 3 last Sat
urday il is hardly likely that the Buck
eyes will repeat. since no Western
team ever has been apIe to hold Yosts
hide for more than one year.
During his nineteen years at Michigan
Yost has. lost three conference games
and three Western games outside of the
conference. No team has been able to
repeat against the Wolverines, however.
90 a Northumberland tussle would be
quite an ideal one to decide intersec-
Fional supremacy.
