Syracuse Is Determined.

Special Despatch to THE New York HEaArp.
SYRACUSE. Nov 4.-More than $500
Syracuse students gathered in the
Archbold gymnasium at a mass meet
ing to arouse enthusiasm for the Wash
ington and jefferson game in the bowl
Saturday afternoon. Beat w. and j.
was the slogan. and loud cheers were
given when Captain. Robertson and Joe
Alexander. all-American player, said
that every man would fight his hardest
on Saturday.
In the stadium this afternoon Coaches
Meehan, Horr and Schwarzer kept the
players on the jump in the signal drill.
but no scrimmage was INDUCED in.
Coach Meehan believes that the line Is
nearly as strong with Andreas at end
in place of Falton and with Whitcomb
holding down line position instead
of Hoople. To-day Falton's split knee
cap was wired together at the hospital.
and 1t was announced that both Fall
ton and Hoople. who had the ligaments
of his left leg torn in the Holy Cross
game, would be seated in chairs on
the side lines Saturday.
Coach Meehan has decided to start
Parker at quarter, with Anderson and
Abbott at the halfback positions and
Herbert at fullback Saturday. Kellogg,
who has been at fullback all season. is
on the crippled list with bruised
shoulder, while F'rugone. who played
quarter in the Dartmouth and Holy
Cross games. has such bad charley
horse that he can hardly lift his leg.
Trainer Porter ~ working overtime on
his leg in the hope of getting him In
shape so that he can play at least part
of the game.

Navy. Game More varied.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York Herald.
ANNAPOLIS Md Nov. APPROXIMATIONS
FOR GEORGETOWN on Saturday were prac-
tically completed at the Naval Academy
this afternoon, with a long formation
drill and n snappy scrinrnare which
lasted but n short time. The interest in
the coming contest is keen, and the
crowd will be the biggest of the local
season.
There is every indication that the
Navy will play more varied game than
IT has previously. and It is in most ex-
cellent condition and spirit for the con-
test. The mdshipmen believe they will
win and wipe out the sting of last sea-
sons defeat. There may be slight
changes in the backfeld when the team
starts on Saturday. This afternoon
those behind the line were Koehler Nc
Kee Conroy and Hamilton, Koehler call
ing the signals.
Cruise is suffering more than was at
first supposed from his bruises In the
Princeton game. while Conroy is pre-
ferred to Noyes on the showing during
the present week. Conroy was a scrub
man last season, but was transferred to
the regulars late In the season on ac-
count of his excellent work He weighs
1865 pounds and Is very fast Moves
stuck close to the regulars during signal
work this afternoon and probably will
ret into part of the game on Saturday.
The line is in fine fettle. and plenty of
substitutes will be ready IL needed.
For the ends there are Muncs and
Flaherty; tackles. Carney. Dahlgren
and Wiedorn; guards Flraw1ey and
WinkJer, and centre. Eimers and San
born. These men are little below the
grade OF the regulars.

The Condition at pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania, beaten by Virginia Mil
tary and Penn state, and facing Pitts
burg Dartmouth Columbia and Cornell
has thrown Itself into a state BORDERING
on panic As the team played against
Penn state It showed that it had been
worried and harried. It fought with
great vlgor and spirit. but it could not
hold in the face of danger and deliver a
telling punch when 1t had the ball
There seemed to be a condition due to
coaching difficuities--a sort of oil and
water affair.
That this diagnosis may be correct
is indicated by the report that DR.. Whar-
ton is to retire as line coach. We know
something about the Wharton system,
and we think we have a general line on
the Heisman method, and we do not
think that in so far as defence is con-
cerned, they jbe.
Therefore IL is no surprise to learn
that DR.. Wharton may give way to Gus
Zie.gler, who holds to certain line prin-
ciples which correspond in general way
to those OF the Heisman system. Zieg-
Ter has had some coaching experience
in the West where defence is not made
the primary point-where attack comes
first and defence second, If there is time
and the material TO bring it out.
Buck Wharton's method of coaching
n line has stood the test of years. It is
sound. But il may not mix we'll with
the Heisman idea. Harold Castor was
the original selection for line coach, but
he has not reported-ress son not stated
So DR. Wharton. who was to have been
an advisory coach. had to dig in with
the line. II will be remembered that he
had some misunderstanding with Bob
Folwell at the close OF the 1919 season
and resigned, only 10 return with Fol
wells change to the Navy.

Army Needs More speed.

speed and more fight is the cry at
West Point We do not know that the
Cadets need more fight They certainly
gave Notre Dame a whale OF a battle
In 80 far as fight was concerned. But
we are strong for the call for more
speed. The Army seems 70 have slowed
UP terribly in the last two seasons. 1t

here last November. or course that
game was played on heavy. field. But
Il was as slow for the Navy as 1t was
for the Caaets. The Midshipmen did
not burr up tho Polo Grounds. but at
times tncy did make the Army look as

II Charley DAILY can get UP more
speed he need not worry about the
fight. That's an inherited quality with
every Army outfit In addition to
speed the Army needs more intelli-
gence along the line. That comes UNI
der the head OF speed anyway. It needs
intelligence both on defence and at
tack. but more OF IL on defence. IL
will have to learn to sense plays better.

HANOVER, n. H., Nov. 4.--Coach Spears
sent the Dartmouth squad through
light workout this afternoon in the clos
ing practice session before the Cornell
game at the Polo Grounds on Saturday.
A short, snappy signal drill was run
through and then the men were dismissed
with final instructions for the hardest
contest remaining of the Green's list.

Trainer Hillman announced tonight
that the entire squad was in condition to
be thrown into action with the exceD-
ton of Allen and Sanderson, substitute
halfbacks, who are out for the rest of
the season. This statement included
Capt. Robertson, and II Is more than
likely that the Green leader will be used
although he is not expected to start
Shelburne is reported to be in the best
OF shape and Spears Is relying upon him
to sma sh the Ithacan line.
With the certainty that Lynch. George
Moore and Sonnenberg will be in the
game, the situation in the Dartmouth
line assumed a promising outlook, the
first two mentioned being the best ends

while Sonnenberg at left tackle is the
mainstay of the forwards Cunningham
will start at centre with Crisp and Asch-
enbach. getting the call at the guard
positions.

Last Saturday few Harvard football
players went down TO Princeton and saw
n Tiger team which did not want TO
extend itself beat West Virginia by only
10 TO g. The Crimson squad returned
to Cambridge in high glee and. we are
informed spread the report that the
game tomorrow would be only a romp
for the sons of John Harvard. Accord

nothing better than even money could
be hgd-and not so much Of that. either.
even If Princeton has not beaten Har-
ward at Cambridge since the IL to 0
victory of 1896.
Events tomorrow may prove that
Harvard has the correct line on the
clash with the Tigers. But to-day we
cannot discern even the faintest reason
for making Harvard favorite-and
! to favorite at that. We will concede
that Harvard has a powerful eleven.
which has not yet reached the zenith of
its effectiveness. We will admit that
Harvard looks as II 1t has more sheer
power than the Tigers.
But we feel that in smoothness. clev-
erness stiffness and resourcefulness
Princeton has the edge. We do not be-
lieve. for example, that Princeton would
have let Centre College score two touch
downs against it-and Harvard did. We
think that Princeton has more elements
for the development OF surprise and
the winning of a game through factors
outside of the normal. BY that we mean
that Princeton has more backs who are
likely to get away for devasta ting dashes
that it is likely TO produce more witt.
