Dobie Turns His Attention
to Cornell Teams Defense

Special Dispatch to The New Yoxx HERALp.
ITHACA, Nov. 22.-Apparently satis-
fed that Cornell's offense Is working
smoothly Coach Gilmour Dobie to-day
put the regulars on the defense against
scrub team which Clyde Mayer. assist
ant Coach. had drilled in plays used by
Pennsylvania. The Ithaca regulars sell
dom carried the ball In the scrimmage
but were busy most of the time fend-
ing of the forward passing attack of the
scrub outfit. Dobie is convinced that the
Quakers are most dangerous in tho
aerial game and though Colgate and
Dartmouth gave Cornell fairly good
test In passing Dobie will lay much
stress on the pass for the balance of
the weeks work Kaw. Ramsey, Cassidy
and Hanson were active in breaking up
the scrub attack.
Although Rollo, right guard, was on
the field to-day, he does not seem to be
in shape to play and there are doubts
about his getting into the lineup next
Thanksgiving Day. Henderson. the left
end who pulled a tendoS in the Dart
mouth game at New York. is improving
and probably will be in the lineup by
the end OF the week.

THREE HOUR DRILL
AT HARVARD CAMP
Dummy Scrimmage and Tus-
sic With Subs Program for
Crimson Varsity.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
continued hard practice this afternoon,
the varsity and the substitutes being
busy practically three hours. The days
practice was divided into two parts.
First there were dummy scrimmages for
both the varsity and the substitutes
against the scrubs, and then followed a
brush between the varsity and the subs.
Capt Buell. did no work to-day except
to follow the play and occasionally call
signals He was dressed in football
clothes and appeared not to be at all
lame or favoring his foot Coach Fisher
intends to start him against Yale and
said that he viii be able to stand some
pretty hard usage. At the same time
Buell. will be saved as much as possible.
That Fisher Is thinking seriously of
starting Jack Hammond at fullback
ahead of Chaplin indicates that the coach
considers the necessity of having a fast
man to run back kicks. Hammond is
fast and so Is Chaplin. but the former
is also almost as good a kicker as
Gehrke. Besides he can pass and COM
plete passes and is also considered the
hest drop kicker on the squad. Chaplin
was in the backfield most OF the time
Is far behind the others in the matter of
instruction on defense against the Yale
plays. yet he took hold we'll.
Spalding's work at quarterback was
good and he is hustling to get the con-
fidence Of the eleven. Both Bradford
and Herman were used In the middle of
the line. while Lew Gordon. who sus-
tained an injury to his leg last week,
was again on the substitute line at right
end. Hill worked ahead of Hartley. Phil
Coburn was dressed. but took no part
In the practice. DIR. Richards shakes his
head when asked whether Coburn will
be available. but Coach Fisher thinks
there Is chance. There was a rip
roaring mass meeting at the Union to-
night. Coach Fisher expressed great
confidence In the eleven and told the
undergraduates that 1t win play far and
away its best game OF the year. Fisher
and the other coaches urged the students
to have faith in the team.

MALLORY FULLBACK
|, IN YALE SCRIMMAGE
Injured Star Engages in Last
JOust of Season With
Scrubs.

Special Dispatch TO TILE NEW York HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 22-Bill Mallory
was at fullback for the Yale varsity this
afternoon when the Bulldog engaged the
scrubs in the last scrimmage OF the sea-
son. The star back has been laid up
for three weeks, being kept out of. the
Princeton game entirely. and while he
favored his lame shoulder in to-day's
jam he played with the same effective
ness that marked his efforts up to the
time of his injury. Ell coaches will
spend tomorrow and Friday putting on
the finishing touches for the concluding
game of the season with Harvard. which
is to be played Saturday in the Bowl.
The varsity backfieid as 1t Will take

the early part OF the scrimmage. but all

but did not get into the scrimmage.
Beckett taking Neales place. O'Hearn
replaced Neidlinger. while Scott went In
for Mallory. Bench later relieving Scott.
Lovejoy has contracted a cold and the
big center was not at the field to-day.
Landis taking his place. Mike Eddy,
regular left end. is out because OF in
juries and probably will not play against
the Crimson.
The varsity scored two touchdowns in
scrimmage. one by Jordan and the other
by Neale. The latter scored on an end
run after a successful forward pass,
while Jordan resorted to his speciality
OF line bucking. The playing OF Neale
featured the practice session. which was
declared satisfactory both in attack and
defense.
For the varsity to-day's session meant
the close of the hard practice Period.
For the suffering scrub II meant vastly
more-the windup to two months OF
battering during which a consoling pat
on the shoulder took the form of more
battering. When it was all over a col
umn of smoke curled up over Pratt Field
from fire built of old football para
phernalia. Then there came a Yale
yell--the long ope--for these lads who
assimilated their poundings In silence
and eclipse. 1t was the varsity cheering
the scrub. and the scrub cheered back

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YonK HnaaLp
HANOVER, N. H.. Nov. 22-Cold
weather descending on Memorial Field
made practice practically impossible

that any great activity by the players
was dangerous. AS a result the Green
team will depart from Hanover to-mor-
row instead of Friday for its last game
OF the season with Brown in Boston
Saturday and will endeavor to make up
for lost time by workout m the Hub
on Friday.
An added reason for moving south
hastily was the prediction of snow Tor
tonight. Thirty players have been Sc

MIDDIES POLISH OFF
PLAYS FOR CADETS
Will Employ Varied Attack in
Game at Franklin Field
Saturday.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW yoRx HRALD.
ANNAPOLIS. Nov. 22.-The practical
period at the Naval Academy this after
noon was devoted to some final touches
on the plays which will be used against
the Army on Saturday. The Navy will
have a varied attack. probably more SO
than ever before. and all the work this
afternoon was devoted to the effort to
secure as nearly perfect execution of
the different plays as possible.
1t is generally recognized that the
chances of Navy success depends largely
upon whether Its line plays. straight
and sliding. can be delivered with more
force and coordination than ever before
this season. In this sort of attack. the
Navy has in no game equaled Its show
ing OF last year. While the backfield is
a veteran combination It Is light but the
weakness has generally been ascrfbed
to failure OF the iinemen, many Of them
green. to do their parts.
Barchet, 1t may be said. Will go into
the game somewhat heavier than last
year. as he has Increased his $50 pounds
to 1856. He appears to be in splendid
physical condition. Mckee weighs f60
pounds, Cullen. ITO, and Conroy. 1S9.
OF the important substitute backfield
men the weights are as follows: Norris,
152; Flippin, IT'S; Hamilton, 1855: Ore
gan. 175: Hughes. 142; Ffaherty. 173.
The probable weights of the linemen will
be: Parr. left end, 1872; Bolles, left
Mathews. center. 1875: Winkjer, 1872, or
~ rtD rd yuAa oh
tackle. 1sS w. 8. Taylor right end, ITO.
This will be one OF the heaviest lines
the Naval Academy has ever had. 1t
Is generally thought that Winkjer will
start at right guard. but that Lentz will
soon be brought in.
