YuIe-PrincetOn
Game in B01uI

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 27.-For the!
first time it is likely that the
Yale Bowl this year will be filled to
capacity at Yale-Princeton game.
The time for making applications
for tickets to the game, which will
be played November Is, expired to-
day, and it was stated by one of
the Yale athletic officials tonight
that indications strongly pointed to-
all the tickets being disposed of
before the match.
No public sale will be possible, It
was said, because Of the unprece1
dented demand for the seats in the
bowl. There is seating capacity for
about $4,000 people, and the appli-
cations from undergraduates and
alumni practically cover that num-
bcr, it was said. Heretofore the
Princeton game here has not
brought more than $4,000 people
into the structure.
A belief that both Yale and Prince
ton, despite their defeats, have un-
| usually promising elevens, has led
70 the increased demand, while the
rolicy of the Yale football officials
in refusing to increase the price of
the tickets, for both the prelim-
mary and the final matches, Is re.
garded as having stimulated inter.
est and attendance at the games all
season. Applications for tickets t,

Colgate Dubious of
Outcome of Game
With Dartmouth

HAMILTON. N. Y, Oct. 27-Not-
withstanding the fact that the Colgate
coaches look forward to the Dart
mouth game next Saturday with a
small exhibition of enthusiasm as to
their chances, they ordered the entire
varsity team to take complete lay
Oft this afternoon. The men were in
need Of the rest and the coaching staff
realized that it would be folly to exert
their best men beyond their physical
powers.
The game with Princeton last Satur-
day brought the entire team close to
its limit and it was thought best not
to give them a workout when they
are very apt to reach the breaking
point.
Furthermore, the team was tired
after the long trip from Princeton
and major part of the players are
suffering from either fresh minor
injuries or relapse of the injuries they
received in the Cornell game. To-
morrow, however, nothing but hard
work will be ordered for the entire
squad
The coaches realize that Dartmouth
is perhaps the strongest team to be
met this year and one that will give
Colgate light throughout
The remainder of the squad also
mad an easy time, being drilled for
about all hour in signalling in a
drizzling rain. Coach Huntington
particularly is keeping close watch
on the ability of his second string
men, for he REALIZES there is a wealth
, of material which is bound to develop
into varsity material. Most OF the
second string men who ars showing
up unusually we'll are first year men.

A. HOrween Goes
From Backfeld
To Line Position

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Oct. 27.-With
the exception of Philbin and Lockwood,
two varsity linemen, the Harvard
coaches to-day had their entire squad
on the field, as they began their prep
araton for the game with Princeton
week from Saturday.
Ralph Horween was able to do some
kicking, although there is only bare
chance that he will be able to get into
shape to play the backfied against the
Tigers. Eddie Casey's ankle permitted
the return to his regular place on the
first team, and Kane, the regular right
tackle, also took his position in the
lineup again.
The afternoon was devoted to work
ing out plays. The three teams had n
long signal drill first, and then worked
out offensive and defensive assign
ments against each other.
Two changes were made. First, Steele
was sent to left end in Ryan's place,
Desmond continuing on the right wing,
where Steele played last week. A sur
prislng change, however, was the TAX
ing Of Arnold Horween, who played
such q powerful game against Virginia
from the backfield and trying him at
center. He played on the line as a
freshman. He passes veil and is q
brilliant defensive man as well as a
fighter.
philbin is out again temporarily, but
has not been in first-class trim for
some time, and Coach Fisher appar-
emily wants another big man in line.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-28

doc NeVllle, 1dlC ONIy scorer
against Princeton and Harvard three
seasons ago, was at half back, and his
namesake, "Chick" Neville, ran the sec
ond eleven. Wilbur Kirkpatrick was
able to play the tackle role and Bob
Lay hobbled to halfback again after a
months lay-off. Neither Jim Braden
nor Thorne Murphy was in the lineup.
Braden will be reserved for utility
situation until the Crimson and the
Tiger are faced
Murphy is still ON crutches and it
cannot be predicted with certainty
that he will play again this season, al
though the coaches are hopeful that
he will be able to romp from the side
line for pinch drop kick against
Princeton or Harvard.
La Roche Still on Scrubs
The veteran Chester La Roche was
not on either the first or second var
sity eleven. but is pluckiiy WORKING
his way up from the scrap heap OF the
scrubs, where he was cast when Yale
was defeated by Boston College.
Fred Webb, whose fullback game
Saturday impressed the coaches IA
vorably, was again at fullback. He
registered two tOuchdownS against the
heavyweight Tuft defence, and no cam
didate has shown better form as
line breaker than he has in the last
few days. In some quarters it is felt
that he may displace even the veteran
Braden as first string fullback.
Donald Welles, the halfback who has
gained more ground by plunging than
any other back this fall, returned to
the lineup after two weeks of in
iuries. He was placed on the second
eleven. Another promising player who
was back in the lineup was Fred Gra-
ham, who was thought to be the best
end rush candidate on the squad when
the players reported. He was injured
the first week, but was at left end on
the second team to-day.
Ted Lilley and Heyliger Church
joined the coaches. The only scrim-
maging this afternoon was between the
second varsity and the scrubs. Johnny
Fredericks, the baseball catcher, dis
played the feature when he ran back
a kickoff for sixty yards and the only
touchdown of the day. He later made
a 3O-yard broken field run. "Chick"
Neville got away for o 20yard run
and end-rush Davidson of the scrubs
recorded 30-yard dash.
The varsity signal drill lineup was
as follows:
Left end, Reinhardt; left tackle,
Kirkpatrick; left guard, Gait; center,
Captain Callahan; right guard, Acosta;
right tackle, Dickens; right end, Al
len; quarterback. kempton; left half
back, Lay: right halfback, Joe Neville;
fullback, Webb.

Light and Bell
Badly Hurt in
Lafayette Tilt
Players of the Red and
Blue Team May Be Kept
Out of Penn State Came

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 27.-Penn came
out Of the game with Lafayette, by far
the hardest fought of the year on
Franklin Field, with but two men hurt.
Of course most of the players in the
game were bruised to certain extent.
but Hobey Light and Bert Bell are the
only players really suffering from the
hard battle with Coach Jock Suther-
lands Easton combination.
Folwell said to-day that an opera
tion will probably be necessary on
Hobey Light before he will be able to
resume his plane on the Quaker eleven.
Light narrowly avoided broken nose
in the game Saturday. His nose was
badly hurt and he can hardly breathe
as result. If the operation is under
taken it may keep him out of the Penn
State game next Saturday.
Bert Bell hurt his arm and was eX-
cused from the practice work to-day
to give it a good rest. Bob Folwell
sent the varsity through only a short
workout and signal drill and then per-
mittcd the men to go to the showers.
The team was not' on the field more
than half al hour. The second eleven
and the scrubs went through hard
workouts alter the varsity went l1l*
Folwell gave Rosetsky try at tackle
in the SECOND game lineup to-day.
The former Southern high school lad
showed himself quite adept at the new
position and may land permanent
line berth on the second team. Her
man, Harvey, Rex Wray, Pard Pearcc
and Danny McNichol comprised the
backfield.
Ray Miller was given considerable
instruction in kicking off work by Fol
we'll and Robertson. A number OF
splendid cunts made q total distance
of As to SO yards. Ray Miller is being
developed to relieve "Bots' Drummer
of some Of the puntng task.
Line Coach Buck Wharton, who was
scouting at the Dartmouth Cornell
game in New York City Saturday, came
back to Penn to-day full of the idea
that the Qakcrs still have more de-
termined and harder rival to meet IN
Cornell than in Dartmouth. This is
rather different from the current view
OF the problem.
Dr.. Wharton says that the Ithacans
are just coming, showing better II
every game, and by the time they come
here on Thanksgiving Day they will
be in their prime, ready to give Penn
the real battle of the year

All of Army Regulars
Now Off Injured List

WEST POINT, n. Y, Oct. The
Army came through the Boston Col
lege game in good shape. Aside from
the customary bruises the squad is
intact and this afternoon resumed work
on the gridiron. Tufts comes next Sat
urday, and while the outcome of this
game is not worrying the Armys ad
mirera, yet the squad is due for hard
weeks tryout in preparation for this
very game.
All the so-called varsity men are
once more in condition Even Breidster,
the last of the hospital squad, got in
Saturdays game against Boston College
FOR a few moments. There was con-
siderable fumbling by Army backs last
Saturday and some of the tackling was
satisfactory. These are but few
faults which were the theme of the
coaches lecture to-day, which was fol-
lowed by light workout on signals and
a drill for the punters Scrimmaging
will be resumed tomorrow

Princeton Squad
In Secret Drills
For Big Contests

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 27.--The big
Osborn memorial gate at University
Field closed on the Tiger football can
didates this afternoon, and the team
went through a long session of secret
practice. This occasioned a surprise, as
Coach Roper has been an ardent advo-
cate of the "open" system in football,
even giving his blackboard talks or
the scoreboard at the field while the
spectators in the stands looked on.
A week ago an elaborate system of
tickets was worked out, and each stu
dent is required to show his pass at
the gate before being admitted to the
practice games, in an endeavor to elm
mate the enemy scouts from the scene
of action.
To-day, however, Roper decided that
this veil of secrecy was not enough,
and even the students were turned
away. The Tiger mentor explained thA,
the team is reaching the critical point
in its training, and that few secret
sessions will be required to prepare
for Harvard and Yale. AS a general
rule the practice will be open to all
who can convince the men at the gate
that they are not scouts from the en-
cmy countries of Boston or New Haven.
Behind the barred doors little Of in
! terest went on. The team came
| through the Colgate contest none the
worse for wear, but Roper gave the
varsity players g day Of rest. The
coaching staff, although disappointed,
was not disheartened by Saturdays
result, and the Tiger stock among the
undergraduates of Old Nassau took
decided boom.
Realizing that their team put up
game battle against one of the great
, est teams in the country, Princeton is
| beginning the final lap with the grim
determination to defeat her ancient
week intervening, Princeton will
meet the Crimson in the Palmer Sta
dunn and then wind up the season in
the Yale Bowl. This Saturday tho
| Tigers clash with the powerful West
| Virginia eleven.
The men who took part in the Col
gate game went through light signal
drill to-day, and Roper sent them
back to the field house before the
rest Of the big squad had gone very
far with the afternoons work. Trim
honors this fall, did not enter the
signal practice, watching his mates
from the side lines. Afterward he
punted and passed the pigskin for a
short session.
Lourie and Garrity, the two Tiger
stars who were kept out of the Col
gate game with minor injuries, were
chance that Roper will risk them
against West Virginia.
The players who did not take part
in Saturdays game scrimmagcd for
thirty minutes tonight. There was
no scoring and the ball was kept near
mdiicld. Destefano showed to good
advantage during the workout.

Hot Fight for Quarter
On Browns Varsity

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. 27.--Prac-
tically all of the Brown regulars will
be in condition to play against Syra-
cuse on Saturday. Not many of them
showed up for the signal practice this
afternoon because of the slight in
juries or classes. 1t is expected that
nearly all Of them will be on hand to-
morrow. The real fight of the eleven
this week is expected to be among Fox,
Oden, Coulter and Crowthcr for the
position Of quarterback. Fox starred
in the Harvard game; Odcn in the
Norwich battle; Coulter was the reg
ular on the 1917 eleven, while
Crowther, who is brother Of George
Crowther, formerly All-America quar-
terback, is developing rapidly.
1t appears that Olden may be shifted
to halfback in order to make use of his
running ability. He and Fox are the
two best ground gamers on the squad

Stevens Teams Hold
Practice by Electric Light

The football squad Of Stevens had its
regular drill yesterday afternoon.
Electric lights were strung up over one
end of the field and from until 6
practice was carried on under artificial
Illumination. Because classes at
Stevens get out late in the afternoon
the team is forced to hold late prac-
tice and this method has been resorted
to.
Other than Goodale and Busch, all
first-strng men were on hand. The
injuries sustained by these two men
in Saturdays game are not serious,
but warrant several days layotf Tie
team is just beginning to hit its stride
and by tomorrow afternoon will get

Dartmouth Ends to Return

HANOVER. N. H., Oct. 27-The
Dartmouth squad laid off to-day, TAX

The players came out of the Cornell
contest in good shape and not a man
is expected to be on the side lines dur
ing the week as the result of the
contest. The return of Cogswell and
Myers, ends of varsity calibre, which
is expected before the Colgate game,
will bolster up what appeared TO be the
