Quarterback Post
Puzzle to HARVARD
Football Coaches
trom a Spectal Correspondent


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov 1s.-The
quarterback situation at Harvard is
stu proving a puzzle to Coach Dick
Wlgglesworth and those under him.
Charlie Buell. was first choice to run
the varsity yesterday, with Joe Fitz-
gerald acting as second string player.
Ihls afternoon the positions Of the
men were reversed. Plainly the
coaches are not willing yet to decide
VINO VIII handle the team in the Bowl.
Fitzgerald is credited with using
more head work than any Of the older
qnarterbacks. The coaches can de-
pend upon him to do the right thing
at the right time. He is the best in
terferer in the backheld, and not at
all lacking in handling forward passes.
Buel's early season demands for rec
ogniton included drop kicking. Lately,
as a sub, he has gingered up the team
and he started the sensational for
ward passing streak wh n tia. Up the
Princeton game.
Three men are still being tried out
Roscoe Fits and Dick Humphrey All
have speed, Fits especially so, and
Humphrey is the best punter of the
three.
Tommy Woods dressed for play to-
day, but was not allowed to take part
even in signal drill. Wynant Hubbard
had class, and this gave Henry Faxon
an opportunity to play right tackle
Duke Sedgwick was again at left tackle
The varsity line up comprised
Crocker, Kane and Macomber ends
Faxon, Sedgwick and Hubbard, tackles
Tolbert and Brown, guards; Have
Meyer, center; Fitzgerald and Buell.
quarterbacks; Owen, left halfback !;
Churchill, Fits and Humphrey, right
halfback, and Captain Horween, full
back.
Percy Haughton, head coach for nine
years, and Leo Leary, who helped him
as an end teacher, were In the stadium
again this afternoon. They have spent
the greater part of the last three weeks
helping out. To-day's practice con
sisted of the usual rudimentary work
and dummy scrimmage against Yale
plays.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-17

The expected shake-up took place,
when Sturm was assigned to fullback,
displacing Doc Jordan; Herbert Kemp
ton replaced Thorne Murphy at quar-
terback and Perry Bean succeeded Dill
worth at right end. These changes are
expected to be permanent. In addi-
ton, Tom Dickens, the veteran line
man, who has been out of the game
several weeks because of a wrenched d
knee, will probably return to left
tackle.
In the latter event, Albert Into will
be switched to right tackle, where he
can oppose Sedgwick, who is regarded
here IS the most stubborn member of
the Harvard line. Into played against
Stanley Keck, the Princeton giant,
last Saturday, and lasted throughout
the game. Into outplayed Walker as
tackler last Saturday and will be re-
tanned against Harvard, while Walker
will be crowded to the bench by the
advent of Dickens.
Because of the slippery condition
Of the field, the coaches decided not
to take any chances with Dickens s
knee, but they expect to Use him
against the Crimson for one half. He
will be succeeded by Walker, who was
regular tackle last season and whose
work has been excellent all fall.
Dilworth's retirement was due to the
fact that the Princeton backs circled
his end repeatedly last Saturday.
Thorne Murphy, who played quarter
back against the Tigers, was lacking
in both physical condition and playing
form and will be reserved for emer-
gency duty. Although usually one of
the most reliable members of the
team, Murphy's fumbling cost a touch
down against Princeton and Brown.

Sturm was assigned to fullback, in
preference to Jordan, who was re-
garded as the most valuable member
of the backfeld Until mid-season.
when he was injured. Since his re-
turn from the hosp tai the former
Exeter star has not approached his
usual brilliant playing form. Sturm

third eleven to the first, and is Yale's

Stevens Football Squad
Behind Closed Gates

That Stevens Tech faculty students
and team, ara all determined to win
the final football game " the season
with N. Y. U. on Saturday, was evi-
denced when the faculty excused the
varsity yesterday afternoon from
classes at $3.50, so that practice could
be held at 9 o'clock, instead of at
4:3O. This is an unprecedented action
on the part Of the faculty.
The practice was held with the ut
most secrecy. Not even students, if
they so desired, were allowed on the
field. From what could be learned
after the practice was over, the var
sity made the scrubs look like bunch
of school boys, and worked out their
new plays t> perfection, scoring two
touchdowns. in quick succession by the

Mrs. Ethel White, to prevent him
disposing OF his property.
The temporary Injunction was OBJ
tained on March 80, last. pending
proceedings brought by the sons and
daughters for the appointment OF a
guardian to take charge of their
fathers estate. Similar litigation, II
is understood, has been started In the
New York courts. Mr., Croker was
preparing to return to Ireland with
his wife. Bula, when the suit halted
their return.
ATTACKED MRS. CROKER.
Mrs. Croker was the center of the
attack on the old politicians men

dren charged that his memory was
feeble and impaired and that Mrs.
Croker, by cunning and deceit,
fraudulently succeeded in obtaining
control of his large estate.

injunction asserted that Mr.. Croker
was wholly incompetent and that un-
less the court acted he would be
stripped OF all his possessions by his
wife. Mr.. Croker answered with
petition to dismiss the injunction on
the ground that he was wholly com
petent and did not wish nor author

HUMOR AND BITTERNESS.
In interviews and at the trial the
aged defendant displayed flashes of
his old-time blunt humor. Then bit

beggered him by their extravaganza
and selfishness and that 1t was his
wife who had rehabilitated his for

cussed his finances in detail, sustain

examination.
He denied that his wife, the former
Cherokee belle, ever sought to alien

he insisted, they had tried to ALLEVIATE
him from her for their mercenary ad-
vantage.
In his opinion today Judge DonnelI
said:
