spectators Coach Roper sent the Ia
but Gilroy was the only first string
Lourie, Garrity and Cleaves were,
withheld from the fray to avoid the
chance of possible injuries, to which
Cilroy was much less susceptible be-
cause of his more hardened physical
condition.
During the scrimmage the varsity
started the ball from midfield and took
it down the gridiron by successive line
bucks to the shadow Of the scrubs
goal posts, where Ken Smith COM
pleted the drive by scoring touch
down for the regulars. The ball was
then given to tho scrubs ON the 90
yard line. but they lacked the powerful
drive of the regulars and were unable
to advance ten yards for an earned
first down against the the regulars.
Lourie Gets in Line-Up
After thirty minutes of scrimmage
Bill Roper sent Don Lourie into the
lineup for punting practice. The
veteran quarterback was showing at
his usual form this afternoon. and the
pigskin sailed away consistently for
distances of 40 yards, even despite
the attempts of the scrubs to block
the kicks. Ken Smith and Pink Baker
we're then given successive tries at
drop-kicking from the 30-yard line
and they succeeded in booting the ball
over the bar five times out Of ten.
The main effort Of the coaches
centered upon the varsity was not long
and the regulars were sent to the
showers early, but the plays were
rtJ1xr on1 xvoro aynrufnd With
accuracy After the regulars left the
field the second team was kept on the
gridiron until darkness forced them
to abandon the practice. Euwer, AL
ford, Smith and Vangerbig composed
the backfeld of this combination and
they ran over and over again the plays
which the varsity had used before
them. These men all have excellent
chances of being needed against Har-
vard. and Coach Roper is doing all in
his power to perfect their offensive
strategy.
Lipscomb was in at guard to-day for
signal drill, and it now looks as If he
would start the battle against the
Crimson Saturday. Baker was on the
side lines except for his short try at
drop kicking, and he will probably be
on the benches Saturday until the lat
ter part of the game. The remainder
Of the varsity for signal drill was the
same as esterday-Stinson and Snive-
lev. ends; Keck and Hoopr, tackles;
al Wittmer, center, and Lourie, Gar
rity, Gilroy and Cleaves in the back
field.
All Set for Big Contest
The scenes are now set for the foot
ball pageant in Princeton Saturday,
and the team is in top form for the
conflict. The students of Jungietown
sre anticipating a rare treat, and all
are eagerly waiting to see if the tie OF
two years. standing will at last be
broken against Harvard. Princeton
will send an eleven into the game
which includes nine veteran wearers of
the varsity "P." among whom Will be
the brilliant trio Of Captain Keck, Don
Snively are the only two Tigers who
have not faced either Harvard or Yale
on the gridiron, and Princeton can COW
expect to see her team at it's best.
The Harvard team held practice in
New York to-day and will leave for
Princeton tomorrow morning, where 1t
will practice in Palmer Stadium In the
afternoon. 1t will spend tomorrow
night in Trenton and return to Prince
ton Saturday morning in good time to
be we'll settled for the game:
r
last practice tomorrow afternoon on
University Field, where Bill Roper will
send the men through a light signal
drill.
Every ticket for the classic struggle
with Harvard has been sold, and a
crowd Of $4,000 people will journey to
Palmer Stadium before 2 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon.
How to Motor to Game
Motorists from New York who are
planning to come to Princeton for the
football game with Harvard on Satur-
day will find the roads in fine condition
most of the way to the little New Jer-
sey town, despite the recent rains.
From Jersey City to Newark travellers
to the game will find no trouble, since
the right side Of the road to Newark is
in good condition, but the left side Is
slightly rough.
The best route from Newark to Eliz-
abeth Is by way of Frelinghuysen Ave-
nue., since the road the other way, Eliz-
abeth Avenue, Newark, and North Broad
Street, Elizabeth, is very poor. There
is no longer detour through the city
Of Elizabeth, but motorists will en-
counter one of about five miles between
Elizabeth and Railway, which is narrow,
but otherwise good. All the rest Of the
way to Princeton they will find either
good macadam or concrete, If they go
via Metuchen and New Brunswick.
To find the stadium after arriving in
Princeton Is very simple. The easiest
way is to go down Nassau Street to
Washington Road, turn to the right on
Washington Road and continue until
the stadium parking grounds appear on
the left.
