Mind Between Buell. and

spectal Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 16.-Practice
for the Harvard varsity football squad
this afternoon was almost similar to that
held Yesterday. Following a long black
board talk the squad went out doors and
worked more than an hour under
steady fail Of fine rain. The tack ing
dummies had a rest. but the customary
round of fundamentals signal drill,
dummy scrimmage and kicking made a
well rounded out afternoons pro-
gramme.
Tommie Woods reported in uniform
but was not allowed to work Fiske
Brown therefore continued at right
guard. The possibility of losing Woods
in Saturdays game against Yale would
cause Fisher considerable distress, but
every hope is held out that he VIII be in
the lineup. Brown is strong 200
FOUNDER, but lacks the intelligent knowl-
edge Of the position that Woods possesses.
Joe Fitzgerald was started at quarter
back to-day, with Charlie Buell. as first
substitute reversing the order of things
Yesterday Wigglesworth sim has an
open mind on the quarterback situation.
Sedgwck was at LEFT tackle and F'axOn
on the other side of the line. Lockwood
substituted for the former. Hubbard,
who is down TO play right tackle Satur-
day. was unable to report on account Of

OLD ELI ELEVEN
Wait in a DriZZle and Escort
Players From Station to

Special DespGtch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 16.--Two thousand
Yale undergraduates assembled at the
railroad station this afternoon to well
come the varsity football team on its
return from Gedney Farms, where it had
been since the Princeton game. The
welcoming delegation stood in drizzle
until the train pulled in. Then they
marched 70 the gymnasium as an escort
to the players.
There was wild cheering and singing
Altogether the demonstration was the
greatest in the history of sport ~ on
eli It was in the nature of surprise,
too. and the members of the tenn ana
coaches were deeply affected by the sin
cere loyalty shown the eleven after its
defeat by Princeton.
The Yale team dressed and with
the Harvard game in view Immediately
went to the football field for an hours
scrimmage in a sea of mud. The drain
age system of the field is poor and the
men were so covered with mud when
they finished that it was almost impos-
sble to distinguish them.
The varsity played the second and
scrub elevens and then the second team
met the scrubs. The varsity lined up as
follows: Cutler, left end Into. left
tackle; Acosta, left guard Cross, CEN
tre Callahan. right guard; Walker,
rightrtacllle; Bean, right end Kempton,
quarterback Aldrich. left halfback
Kelley, right halfback; Sturm, fullback.

The varsity used old fashioned for

CORNELL PRACTISING
MORE TRICK PLAYS
Dobie Thinks They VIII Help
Defeat Penn.

Specia! Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
IrAHcA, n. Y, Nov. 16.-After two
DAYS OF comparative inaction the Cor
nell football squad started a vigorous
practice this afternoon for the final
game on the schedule with Pennsylvania
on Thanksgiving Day. The power lights
on both sides of the field were turned
on early and the varsity squad was kept
on its toes until late this evening. The
regulars were out early and most of
them got into the lineup in the first of
the weeks scrimmages. a dummy affair
calculated to try out new offensive
formation which Dobie is preparing for
the Penn game.
SO far this season Cornell has en-
ployed, and in fact only needed a simple
attack consisting of four or five running
plays and several well timed and fairly
we'll concealed forward passes. The
marked success of the fake forward pass
against Columbia has convinced Dobie
so it is reported at the club house. that
Cornell will be better equipped 10 play
a winning game against Penn If the
team has more OF this sort Of fake and
trick plays In its repertory, and one Of
the big tasks of the field will be to de-
velop such an attack.
For the most part the regular varsity
was In the lineup to-day. Finn did not
get in at left end and Goetz had Pen
delton's place at left guard, while Dun
leavy and Lechler appeared in the back
field for part Of the time. 1t is re-
ported on the hill that Dobie means to
send Dunleavy into action against Penn
though in what position nobody seems
to be sure. 1t is not improbable that
he may start at fullback. with Carey
shifting TO quarterback for a time and
Hoff being held In reserve.
Sullivan Helps Coach Colgate.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
HAMILTON, N. Y, Nov. 16.--After the
snow storm Of yesterday the Colgate
football squad had clear. cold after
noon for practice to-day for the SYRIA
cuse game Saturday. Tom T. Sullivan
head of the coaching staff OF Bates
College. arrived In town last night to
aid Ellery, Huntington and Mike Goode
Sullivan was an end on the famous 1913
team and one OF the best wing men that
ever played in Colgate uniform. His
experience and knowledge are welcomed
by the coaches. as Colgate's line this
year is weak on the ends.
The first team spent over hour IN
hard scrimmage this afternoon with the
unbeaten freshman team. and II was
well after dusk that the men were or
dered to the gymnasium. The coaches
we're much provoked because the varsity
was not able TO score upon the freshmen.
but at the same time they were salts
fed that the first year team did not
prove the master Of Colgate varsity.
Bob Webster, the Maroon star half
back. is still I'm the hospital suffering
from internal injuries. Capt Wooster
was not IN uniform again to-day and
II Is feared that he will not play Satur-
day.

Credit to Poe and omeiettes.

While giving full credit to the Prince
ton varsity and Bill Roper, let us not
forget the Omelettes, or scrubs and Nat
Poe, their coach. The Omelettes played
a big role in bringing the Tiger eleven to
the splendid form which 1t displayed In
the victory over Yale. Among Poe's men
we're a few who may work their way into
the varsity squad next season, men who
we're not eligible this year because of the
one year residence rule.
Pixley, who played for Ohio State last
fall and was placed on Walter Camps
third All America, is a great guard and
surely will get place If he is eligible.
HenArian who was captain Of the Pitts
burg freshmen last year. Is a very fast
back, and almost sure TO win place on
the 1921 eleven.
