HARVARD SPEEDS UP.
AFTER SHORT REST.
Fisher Calls Scrimmage and

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct. 2S.--After
three days rest from hard work the
Harvard football machine was oiled up
again to-day and set In motion for it's
match with Dartmouth, which Will be
played here on Saturday. II was not
possible for Bob Fisher 20 use several

string men did not keep at Il very long.
Owen and Gehrke will be In top form
again for the Dartmouth game, but
Chaplin still shows the effects OF the
hammering he encountered IN the Centre
game last Saturday. and there is much
doubt whether he win start against the
Big Green.
This afternoon both Churchill and
Rouillard substituted for Chaplin. and
one or the other is likely TO bc in the
first string lineup Saturday. Hartley is
still limping and is hardly expected TO
play before the Florida game. but
Dunl<er. Clark and Hubbard WIN be all
right by the end OF the week.
To-day the varsity scored three times on
on tho freshmen. Two OF the score. were
made on thirty-eight and twenty two
yard runs by Fits and Churchill follow

from Buell.. Rouillard made a touch
down on twenty yard drive through
the yesrllngs' line.
In the brush with the scrubs Gordan
blocked a kick and got the ban for
varsity score, while the second team
crossed the varsity's goal line again.
The touchdows was made by Blake the

Syracuse Concentrates on
Developing Forward Pass
Likely to Open Up Attack
Against Penn State.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
SYRACUSE. N. Y, Oct. 25.--One of the
hardest football scrimmages of the sea-
son was indulged in by the Syracuse
varsity eleven this afternoon In the
Archbold Stadium. in preparation for the
battle with the Penn State team at the
Polo Grounds. New York. on Saturday.
The workout lasted an hour and a quar-
ter with the big team pitted against the
second eleven which used Penn State
formations
Every player but Mcbride, who is
likely TO get into the contest Saturday
saw action in the drill to-day and Coach
Meehan was leased with the way the
varsity showed up. Mcbride, who has a
bruised shoulder. was on the side lines
watching the team run through its plays
hut Coach Meehan did not use him at
all. thus avoiding the risk Of having his
injury aggravated.
Considerable time was devoted to
field goal kicking by Zimmerman and
forward passes by the Orange backs
and they showed considerable skill II.
this line. Undoubtedly many forward
passes will be tossed by the Syracuse
players In the Polo Grounds game.
The squad of thirty players will leave
here late Thursday night for Rye, where
they Will practice on Friday.

That Centre shift Again.

Centres peculiar. lazy old Sing Sing"
shift continues the topic of torrid dis
cussion among football men. AS worked
against Harvard last Saturday the shift
was entirely within the rules. There
was no attempt to develop momentum
before the ball was snapped and there
was no suspicion that the Colonels were
in motion when the leather was put
into play. There was no hip-hip 10 IL.
But Il is a question how long team
should be permitted TO keep shifting.
on several occasions centre marched far
TO the right. then to the left. then back
20 the right and back again to the left
This slow. lockstep process wasted n
lot OF time and in the hands Of n team
which was trying TO stall 1t would be a
most effective trick. Centre could not
be accused of delaying the game. for IL
was trailing and coming strong-and In
need OF every minute. On that ac-
count--and on several other counts--it
was a poor play for the Praying
Colonels to use.
But other teams may use that SHIFT to
clrcumvent the rules, SO II appears to
behoovc tho officials TO put time limit
on that sort of thing.

the long rule at the Academy OF training
the different backs In the work of one
position only and making substitutes
from those trained In the special work
ot the particular place. This has been
found TO promote the srnoothness OF
operations of the backfield.
Several big fellows were used at DIFF
ferent times In the backfield this after
noon. including F1ippen. O'Regan and
F1aherty, all weighing around 70 pounds
or more. F1ippen was substitute line
player az Centre College last year. but
he is fast and Folwell believes he will
develop into a good back. o'Regan is .
big. fast man, but has never quite
reached the standard which he appears
able to attain. F'laherty was a substi-
tute last year but has gained weight and
is being tried in che backfleld this year.

Signal Drill.

ing which the varsity scored three
touchdowns against the scrubs After

have been many tragedies in the minor

that "a team like Vermont beats an
eleven like Dartmouth, and Vermont
has not got over it yet. Burlington
