QUARTERBACK ONLY
YALE MAN IN DOUBT
Coach Has Decided on All the
Other Players for Prince
ton Game.

SEccial Despatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD
new HAVEN, Nov. 10.-Pratt Field
near the bowl, where the Yale football
team held it's final drill before the
Yale-Princcton game this afternoon, was
wet and slippery as a result OF the rain
of last night and as n consequence Tad
Jones. Yale's coach, took no chances Of
adding further to the casualty list. There
was only a dummy scrimmago for the
varsity and the day, destined to see a
stiff workout. passed off with only the
lghtest kind of work for the men who
will face the Tigers on Saturday.
The dummy scrimmagc found the fol-
lowing men in the lineup: Left end.
Human; left tackle. Into: left guard,
Cruikshank; centre, Lands; right
ard, Guernsey; right tackle, Diller ;
right end, sturm; quarterback, Beckett
and OHearn left halfhaclS. Aldrich (;
right halfback. Tordau. and fullbacil.
Mallory.
Jones announced tonight that there is
no question about any position on the
Yale team H. the game with the Tigers,
excepting quarterback. Beckett and
O'Hearn alternated this afternoon in
the dummy scrimmagc, Beckett directing
the team at the start and O'Hearn COM
ing at the finish. Two good snappy
days would put O'Hearn in the best OF
shape and if the day OF the game is
cold the chances are that he viii start
against Princeton. Beckett, however. is
lt and has proven in the games he has
played this autumn that he is reliable.
AS a matter Of fact there is little to
choose between the two ouarterhacks.
1t is probable that no selection of a
quarterback will be made until just
before the game.
Speiden. the speedy back. relieved Doc
Jordan at right hafback during a part
of the practice to-day. but Jordan will
play Saturday He has been q horse
for work throughout III year and surely
will be one of Yale's best ground
gamers.
Into has recovered entirely from hts
leg injury and will begin the game with
one of the best chances of becoming an
all-American tackle a Yale man has had
In years. The other men are 100 per cent.
perfect physically and ready 10 engage
the Tiger with all the fight i'll the
world.
one of the encouraging signs Of the
times is the proficiency Of Aldrich
O'Hearn and Beckett in the art of drop
kicking. This afternoon these three
players from behind the line of scrim-
mage booted a score of goals from the
field from sharp and diverse angles
That Yale will make a desperate efforc
to beat the Tigers by way of the drop
kick if they can't over the touchdown
route is a certainty.

TIGERS SHOW SNAP
IN FINAL WORKOUT
Football Fever Grips Princeton
at Alumni and Undergrad
uatc Meeting.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALp.
PRINCETON. Nov. 1o.--The final work
out of the Princeton football team this
afternoon in preparation for Saturdays
battle with Yale at New Haven showed
a sparkle and snap which augurs well
for success. Inspiced by the presence
Of the undergraduate body, which pa
raded en- masse to University Field, the
players went at their work with vim
unequalled this fall and Bill Roper
seemed highly satisfied VIXEN he finally
decided that his charges had had
enough.
The absence of Capt. Stan Keck from
left tackle and AL Wittmer from centre,
neither OF these valuable cogs in the
Tiger machine being In uniform. was the
source OF considerable worry to under
graduates. but Roper announced defi-
nitely tonight that his TWO line stars
would face the Blue. Neither Keck nor
Wittmer has been in uniform since the
Harvard game, but they do not require
the practice which some inexperienced
members of the squad must have.
A wave Of enthusiasm has gradually
grown at Princeton all week and with
the impetus given 4 by the afternoon S
session, IL broke IN tull lOrce tO-HiSHt az
the largest mass meeting of the year
When Don Lourie. in his capacity as
president of the Varsity Club. arose to
introduce the first speaker there was an
uproar which continued for several min
utes. big Bill" Edwards was the chief
speaker OF the evening and won tumui-
tuous applause vixen he declared that
nothing could stop Capt. Stan hecks
eleven now. Bill Roper. Dean Howard
McClenahan and Kelly Strubing, quar-
terback two years ago on the Tiger team
which inflicted def at on the Bulldog OF
1919 also spoke.
The regulars had nothing more strenu-
Gus than signal drill this afternoon,
with the addition OF emphasis on de-
fence against Yales aerial attack. The
lineup, which is the same as that which
will face Yale, save for Keck and Witt
mer. consisted of Snively left end
Rutan, left tackle; Baker. left guard;
Lipscomb. centre; Morgan right guard; ;
Hooper, right Ia exile; Stinson, right end;
Lourie. quarterback; Gilroy, left half;
Garrity. right half. and Cleaves. full
back. No changes are contemplated. eX-
cept that some doubt exists as TO the
first substitutes to be used. Rutan has
been at end for two weeks and it now
looks as il he is slated TO be keck's
understudy. Bob Stinson, Ken Smith
and Peck Euwer are the three most
likely to break into the backfield be-
fore the game ends.

rordhan1 Eleven Driven
Hard in Long Scrimmage.

The Fordham football players had a
very severe drill yesterday afternoon.
The men were out on the gridiron 10Y
three hours and during all that time had
not a minutes rest. The reason for
such a lengthy and gruelling drill Is that
the Fordhamites have done practically
nothing all week. Monday and Tuesday
were given TO them as days OF rest,
while their session on Wednesday was
cut short by the rain.
The scrimmage, the first and probably
the last of the week. lasted for well over
an hour. Commit led the first eleven,
while Downcy took charge of the second
team. The scrubs were given the ball by
Du Moe and told to do their best to
score against the varsity. They had no
easy time. but nevertheless did manage
TO score twice. Capt. Sylvester Fitz-
pa atrick went through the whole scrim-
mnge, playing at right end on the second
team. Fordham plays Muhlenberg at
Allentown tomorrow.

Ellis Are Expected to Show
Great Change in Their
Style.
by DANIEL.

Among those who like to place a wager
ON a football game the Princeton
meeting Of tomorrow IS regarded as an
oven money proposition. Last week the
Tigers were demanding odds. but now
the complexion OF the situation is
emboldened the hackers OF Princeton.
and yesterday there were isolated cases
of their giving odds. But the prevailing
price is "evens.--and considerable action.
Particularly among football followers
who owe no allegiance to the Big Three
Yale is regarded as something of an un-
known quantity. The Ellis have met
only ono eleven Of consequence-the
.Army-and the stock of the cadets
took fall last Saturday under the i'm
Ietus of a bear drive from Notre Dame.
Now the Man in the Street confesees
that he is ut sea regarding the class of
the Eli combination. He knows what
Princeton can and cannot do, but Will;
all that there is an undercurrent which
makes Yale at least an even choice.
in Princeton they seem to hold to the
belief that Yale has been handed bouquets
without deserving them. They think that
the sons of Nassau will be even stronger
against the Blue than they were against
the Crimson. But that's only natural.
The Tigers Advantage.
And then Princeton has a fighting
team, in fine condition, with strong
psychological advantage. The Tigers
have attained half of their great objee-
tive. Against the Ellis they will be able
to let loose in every department. The
Yale team stands with both OF its big
games still before 1t, and with Harvard
behind Princeton. Yale must hold some
thing in reserve for the Johnnies.
We look for Yale to show radically
changed attack and defence. We think
that the Eli game will be more varied,
more versatile: that it will present a
higher average in its combination of
running throwing and kicking Yale. it
may develop, will have more dangerous
individuals Princeton has it's Lourie
and Gilrov, with Ga-r'fy for the plunging
business and Cloavcs as a Handy Andy.
Yale has n great ~unner III Aldrch,
another fine one IN Jordan. a fine de-
fensive back in Mallory, a first class
quarter in Beckett O'Hearn VIII not
start, but he is sure to do something
before the day is over, and do it in a
startling way
We expect to see Yale show style
OF offensive much different from any
thing it showed last season and the year
before--different even from what 1t has
exhibited this season. The Ellis have
been building for the Princeton and
Harvard games alone. There was no
particular preparation for the Army, and
Yale showed no more than it absolutely
had TO. That the Ellis won over the
cadets by only one touchdown has no
bearing whatsoever on the contest Of to-
morrow

N. Y. u. Concentrates on
Aerial Attack for Rutgers.

On the theory that the best defence Is
a powerful offence. New York Univer-
sity spent the major portion OF yester-
days football practice in ironing out the
rough spots in its baekfield. Against
rrJpitv on Election Day the Violet had
little difficulty i'm driving through their
opponents light and inexperienced line
for two full periods, but the Bronx
eleven's power waned In tho latter part
of the game.
With Foster Sanford's Rutgers eleven
as their opponents tomorrow on ONO
Field, the New York University grid
stars undoubtedly will meet greater OPP
position than Trinity could oiter. Coach
Cargan therefore has determined on q
varied and deceptive aerial attack. Thf
Violet varsity practised open aerial for
nations in yesterdays drill, working w
and down the length of Ohio Field for
hours as they completed pass after pass.

Praises for wittmcr.

The praises of Wittmer of Princeton
and Stein OF Pittsburgh are being sung
and somewhat to the exclusion of other
centres. The best time to descant on
the virtues of the various players and
their claims to greatness is when the
season is over and especially is it prem
ature to restrict the seasons crop of
centres TO meagre two when such a
one as Larson OF the Navy is in the
arena. Wherein do the others excel
him? Certainly he can do all of those
defensive stunts of the two others--most
centres do a lot OF eye-filiing tackliug
as a rowing defender-and he passes as
well and otherwise plays his position on
offence as capable as any other pivot
man in the game.
