Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.--Penns val
sity football team, thirty-eight strong,
ran through spirited drill to-day on
the links of the Whitemarsh Valley
Country Club. where the team will
breath the invigorating ozone till Thurs
day morning, returning to Franklin
Field just few hours before the start
of the annual battle with Cornell
Coach Helsman first drilled his for
wards to-day in getting down the field
under Mike Whitehill's long punts. the
backfield men receiving the pigslin.
From then until dark was devoted to a
signal drill in which three teams par
ticipated. and the afternoons workout
was concluded with cross country run
to the clubhouse, which is no small dis
lance away from the seventh tee. where
the squad practised.
AS was contemplated. Carl Thomas
was switched from fullback to q line
position, going to right guard, while
Copeland was relegated to the second
varsity.
Carl Ertresvaag and George Wagner
are both in good shape again and were
in their usual places. the forwards con-

out, and on several occasions begged
the coaches to be allowed to get into a
uniform. so as to play against Cornell
for even a few moments. But the
coaches will not take any risks of a
permanent injury to the Red and Blue
captain.
The backfield on the first varsity lined
up with Wray calling signals. Mike
Whitehall and Pos Miller halfbacks
while Phil Sawyer was at fullback. Joe
Straus was running through the drill at
fullback on the second varsity, but after
n short time he was called over to the
first varsity and replaced Sawyer at
fullback.
The entire Red and Blue squad. with
the exception of Capt. Hopper and
Greenwalt, are in excellent condition
and the Red and Blue team will start
thee game against Cornell Thanksgiving
in better physical condition than in any
game this season.
The biggest crowd of the season here
will undoubtedly be on hand to witness
the battle. Between $4,000 and 10000
persons have been endeavorng to get
the 10000 tickets. which will be good for
this contest.

Yale and Boston College.

Boston College is perturbed over the
report that Yale has decided to drop it
from the football schedule. Boston de-
feated Yale last season and again this
year. There is quite an insistent de-
mand at Yale that the team coached by
Frank Cavanaugh be taken off the
schedule, but the Eli players want the
Hub eleven retained at least for another
season.
1t is not the custom at Yale to drop
any team which has beaten the Blue
before the defeat can be avenged. SO
we feel that 1921 will see Boston again
in the Bowl. but at later date.
AS for the charge that Boston played
dirty football in the Bowl last month
it's not true. We saw the game and we
failed to note any dirty tactics. Boston
did play a very aggressive game 1t
was out to beat Yale and some of the
Boston men played themselves dizzy. 1t
was fight. fight every minute and Yale
was not ready either in condition or in
attack and defence TO cope with a
scrappy foe of Boston's all around eff
fectiveness. Yale men declared after
ward that Boston had boosted that it
would get" Callahan and Aldrich in the
first period. We cannot believe that.
A game with Boston College placed
in the right spot on the schedule would
do Yale a world of good. And for Bos-
ton II means a lot more. since the con-
test in the Bowl gives it an opportunity
to show the world what 1t can do against
a major eleven.
Georgia Tech wants a place on the
Yale schedule for next season and II
seems likely that IL will get il. A Yale
Tech contest would outshine a Harvard
Centre game, which will be played again
at Cambridge next fall.

Ellis Make Clean Sweep of
Matches With Princeton
Club.
BY SAMUEL j. BROOKMAN.

Yale club not only strengthened its
lead in the Class metropolitan squash
tennis championship yesterday, but In
making clean sweep of its matches
with the Princeton club showed ability
that augurs we'll for the retention by
the Eli graduates Of the title won
year ago. The matches were played on
the Yale club courts. The superiority
OF the winning squad was marked, for
in only two of the seven matches con-
tested were the Princetonians able to
carry the tussles into extra games.
In what proved to be the closest
match of the series John a. Victor,
captain of the Yale team. defeated
George A. Walker, Jr.. by a score of
10-15, 15-12, 15--12. 1t was hotly con-
tested duel, in each game of which the
lead alternated continually. The rivals
were evenly matched as to speed and
skill. but Victor after the first game
had the advantage in the matter of

NO TRIP TO COAST
FOR THE TIGERS
Board of Control Says 1t
Would Be Impracticable to
Play California Eleven.

PRINCETON, y. J.. Nov. 23-Definite
announcement that the Princeton foot
ball team would decline an invitation to
play a game in California on New Years
Day was made to-day by the Board of
Athletic Control. The board reached its
decision after receiving a recommends
ton from the Princeton football advisory
committee advising against the accept
ance OF such an invitation and pointing
out n number of reasons why the team
should not make the trip. Although no
formal invitation had been received. the
football management was given TO I'M
derstand that one would be extended by
tine University OF California should
Ppinceton's acceptance be assured.
In a statement tonight Knox Taylor.
chairman of the football advisory COM
mittee, said the proposed trip had been
given serious consideration and that ii
was with regret that II was found inn
practicable.
"A game with California" said Mr..
Taylor. would be an anti-climax 10 the
Princeton season. The climate here now
is so uncertain that IL would be impos-
sible to continue practice until the de-
parture of the team for the West.
Another thing which stands in the
way OF the trip IS the vital Importance
of having the football players devote the
proper amount of attention TO scholastic
work. which You'd not be possible were
they to be kept in training for such a
long period
1t was also pointed out that five MEM
bers Of the Princeton varsity football
squad also are members Of the basket
ball team, which is fighting the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania for the lead In the
intercollegiate league race. This was
given as one Of the reasons for not maxi
ing the trip to the Pacific coast.

CADETS WORK IN
MUD ANKLE DEEP
White Plays at End and May
Start Against the Middies
Saturday.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
WEST POINT, y. Y, Nov. 23.-Miser-
able weather conditions continue to ham
per the Army eleven in its final prepara-
ton for the Navy game at the Polo
Grounds in New York on Saturday
There have been only three or four clear
DAYS here during the last fortnight. and
If Jupiter Pluvius keeps it up the Army 8
football warriors expect to be as good
seagoing sailors as the Navy folk them
selves.
It rained hard again to-day and the
soldiers went through their workout in
mud ankle deep. The kickers were
greatly handicapped by the wet ball. A
semblance Of a scrimmage was held
when the mules were lined up against
the varsity for a thirty minute session.
Fumbling In the backfield marred the
cadets work.
French Richards, Ebersole and
Smythe were all used in the punting
drill. The kickers lacked power and
drive and the ends in going down field
slipped and stopped around in the miro.
The drill lasted until dark. the search
lights helping but little in the waning
minutes of short twilight.
The varsity men were all out to-day.
White again was used at end. 1t looks

but the guards were shifted to-day.
when Goodman went in for Clark for
brief spell at the left side of the centre.
At the tackles Lou Storck was back in
one of the positions to-day. with David
son at the other. It IS expected. how
ever, that Mulligan, former Columbia
freshman. will be the final choice for the
uncertain tackle place. Mulligan was
in during the signal practice, but did no
heavy work Don Storck. the former
Rutgers wing man. played during the
whole afternoon at left end.
The baclSfield IS practically settled.
Cant. Wilhide will start the game at
quarter. Lawrence will be at right half
back and Smythe at left half. with the
speed boy. French, at fullback. This
combination looks best and in the drill
tonight worked smoothest.
Richards and Ebersole also were used
to carry the big teams bah in the of
fensive drill Both are reliable backs.
Richards excells in defensive work.
Ebersole's ability to kick will probably
get him a chance at some stage of the
Navy game.

the ends. The Quakeg' off tackle play
has not been developed enough to bother
the Ithacans. But we imagine that any
team with an insistent and persistent
forward passing game of the variety
which Penn without doubt possesses will
bother Cornell not little. We do not
think that this Cornell eleven is any too
smart a team. 1t has power, but it is
not any too resourceful. If Penn tries
to match Cornells power it is going to
be beaten.
The Army Navy game is far more
open affair than it was last year In
1919 the Navy came here with a well
defined advantage over the West Point
ers, who had a lot of power but were
green and did not know how to use ii.
1t was felt that the Navy would prove
too experienced and too highly developed
for the Army. This feeling was justified
by developments at the Polo Grounds.
However, the Navy lacked punch inside
the Cadets Is yard line and could not
put over touchdown Kings two field
goals were the only scores in Navy
success by 6 to 0.
We believe that the Navy should be
the favorite because it has the better
line. And some of it's backs-Koehler.
for example-are not lightweights. The
Armys big chance lays in Walter French,
one of the greatest backs in the coun-
try, who was the only Cadet who could
bother Notre Dame. French will make
.rouble for any team, and the Navy Will
have to watch him very closely. II he
gets away the Navy hasn't a man who
can catch him. French will be remem-
bered as a star at Rutgers last year.

Why Local Teams Failed.

Columbia failed in football this year
because il did not have the proper ma
terial No matter how great the coach,
IL he has not the right kind of stuff to
work with he is going to fail. Frank
O'Neill did his part, but Columbia fell
down in the football quality of the men
whom IL presented. O'Neill put in an
entirely different system, and II takes
some time for a system to bring results.
We have found that in all sports Co
lumbia leans too strongly on its coaches.
Coaches, no matter how great their repu-
tations are, after all only human. The
age OF miracles is past. Let Columbia
bestir itself.
What is true Of events at Columbia is
true at Fordham too. The Maroon en-
tered the season with the additional ham
dicap of having had no eleven in 1919.
Joe Du Moe had to build from the bot
tom up, and we believe that all things
considered he did mighty well. Fordham
ought to present a powerful lineup in
1921.
At New York University the team was
handicapped by slow thinking and lack
of combination play. Speed was lacking
in action and thought. The team seemed
to be we'll coached, but It did not play
the coachs game. IL was not a Frank
Gargan eleven.
Stevens Tech went through another
season without defeat-a feat which was
made possible by the saneness of the
engineers in drawing UP their schedule.
Stevens realizes that II cannot hope 10
cope with the big teams, and 1t stays
away from them. II plays In its own
class. and manages 70 do mighty well
in that
Stevens would like to come back 10 the
Columbia schedule. and we cannot see
why Il should not Football relations
between stevens and Columbia date back
10 1872 Stevens always has had a
reputation for cleanness.
