Special Despatch to THE NEw York HERALD.
a PRINCETON, Nov 4.-Pr1nceton's foot
ball team this afternoon had its last
Workout before the Harvard game. AL
though in previous seasons the custom
has been to throw the last practice
before the gridiron classics open to
the college. Bill Roper overthrow all
precedent to-day and excluded even
The representatives OF the press The
result was that scarcely half a dozen
people saw the Tigers last workout on
home soil.
= After the rehearsal the Nassau coach
disclosed the lineup which win start
the game on Saturday. Although OBJ
servers have for some time had pretty
definite ideas as to who would start
the contest. Roper's announcement con-
tanned one surprise. This is that
Hooper who has been considered a
fixture at right tackle may not be in
action at the first whistle after all.
Hooper suffered an injury in the West
Virginia game which has been bother
fng him lately, and 1t may be neces-
sHry. according to the Tiger mentor. to
call upon Halsey TO take his place
Halsey. although bigger and somewhat
stronger than Hooper, is nevertheless
not as fast as the latter and Hooper's
loss would prove to be something of
blow.
= The safe return of Scherer to the
team. however, is enough to counter
balance this disappointment, and every
body else is in exceptionally fine fettle.
The team has survived a hard pre-
urinary season singularly fortunate in
going into the big games without
single man seriously on the crippled
list. The outfit that win take the field
on Saturday is as near the pink Of
=. IL ~ lf.s
the conditions of eridlron wa~fare.
A Capable BaclsaeId.
Roper has decided definitely on stir-
son for the berth n right end he stated
tonight. and Ieeendre will play on
the wing opposite him. Keck and
Hooper or Halsey will be the tackles
while McManmon and Dickinson vii
flank Captain Callahan in the centre
of the line. In the back field the Tigers
will present the same strong defensive
combination that has performed In the
important skirmishes of the preliminary
season. consisting of Clarity and Gill
roy at the halves and Joe Scherer the
redoubtable punter. at fullback, while
Ion Lourie will call the numbers. with
Frank Murray to relieve him on occa-
sion. Wittmer is slated to be the util-
ity man Of the back field in the Har-
yard game.
.--The team Is to leave Princeton to-
night on the $40 train, spending the
night at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New
.-York, whence they will travel TO Cam
bridge Friday morning in order to be
sable to try out the turf in Soldiers
4 Field before darkness falls. They will
also warm up for few minutes Satur-
day morning in the Cambridge stadium
To-day's practice consisted of two
-rserts. the first half of the afternoon
being devoted to a dummy scrimmagc
in which defensive tactics against Har-
ward plays were practised with great
care and attention to detail. For three
quarters Of an hour the scrubs walked
through Crimson formations while the
varsity men were instructed painstak-
-fnglv In the means of rebutting them.
s,fhe latter seemed to sense the charac-
ter and direction of the Cambridge
Tactics more successfully than on the
.previous two days. and at the end OF
sfhe afternoon the coaches expressed
themselves as being satisfied with the
progress of their charges.
Rehearse Attack.
Roper put two teams through long
.brt snappy signal drill before ne sent
them TO the showers. and all the
methods Of attack that will be used
against the Boston team were run
through No scrimmage was attempted
-the only workout of that kind during
The week having been staged yester-
day.
-,Princeton is invading Cambridge de-
fermined to win, and the coaches are
printing the players with that one OBJ
feet in view In epite Of the prevalence
OF overwhelming odds against the
Tigers the Princeton student body has
unlimited confidence in the Orange
and Black team.
