Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
PRINCETON, Nov. 16.--Head Coach BIZ
Roper put UP the bars at the entrance to
varsity field for the final scrimmage be-
fore the Yale game this afternoon ana
excluded al newspaper men. SO "air-
tight" was the 'Iockup" that even Big
Bill Edwards, who has been faithful
spectator at practice during the past two
weeks, was turned away and had to
CLEAN what dope he could from conversa-
ton with tho coaches later.
The cool snap this afternoon permitted
one OF the snappiest practice Tits the
Il gers have had this season. Coach Net
Poe gave his Omelettes the ball on the
so yard line. and using Yale plays the
plucky scrubs attacked the varsity line
savagely. They gained little. however,
and frequently plays were smeared be-
hind their own line.
- Bill Moore, star halfback on the 1915
Tiger eleven, assisted the scrubs on tho
offense, but ,.even he had little effect
upon the varsity defense. Many of the
Ell plays were aerial and the Orange
and Black backs showed themselves well
schooled in breaking up passes.
The offense of the varsity worked
smoothly during the scrimmage and it
is understood that some very attractive
plays were given their last trial by
Roper before he sends Johnny German
in TO campaign against the Ellis Satur-
day. German was at quarter most of
the time to-day. Bob Dinsmore relieving
