N. Y. U. Has Stiff ScrimInage
With Violet Scrub Team

Tom Thorp. New York University's
football coach. put his squad through n
stiff scrimmage session yesterday
against the Violet scrubs at Ohio Field.
The excellent physical condition of the
lads after tho Rhode Island State game
last Saturday enabled all the players TO
be on tap.
Two of the regular halfba cks returned
to the squad and may play In the Trinity
game next Saturday. Carlson. who suf
fered a sprained ankle In the game with
Columbia, made fow long end runs
and seems to be as fast n he was prior
to his injury. The other prodigal Is
Harvey Mayer. who has been out with
weak ankles and other minor injuries
since the Hobart contest. Mayer cele-
brated his return with a series OF
ground gaining rushcs through tackle.
Early in the afternoon Thorp declared
that he was not satisfied with the often
sive play the team made az INST Rhode
Island. Especially was he dissatisfied
with the slowness of the backfleld. To
overcome this Thorp took charge OF thr
varsity backfleld and coached the plu
ers the greater part OF the period. Cxch
Mccarthy instructed the third team In
Trinity plays for scrimmage with the
varsity.

Dobie Pushes Cornell Hard
for Meeting With Columbia.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
ITHACA, Oct. 30.--After a week de-
voted to remedying weaknesses and pol
ishing smooth the rough spots in the
offence Cornell dug In hard this after
noon in the first of a four day prepara-
tion for the Columbia game. with some
work for the Dartmouth game in New
York on Armistice Day also on the pro-
gram.
The Red squad, In fine shape. plunged
into a late afternoons drill with vim.
every regular appearing to be In form
for the big games ahead, which because
of Dartmouth's good work against Har-
ward and Penn's defeat of the Navy
threaten to give the Dobie machine q
severe test. A week Of final review and
checking up of the squad has convinced
Dobie that he has the best available
team on the field, and the Ithacans Will
face Columbia and Dartmouth as they
faced Colgate.
True to his promise. Dobie sent the
varsity into n long drill. with the for
ward pass Kaw and Pfann. alternating

The Columbia situation.

What is the matter with Columbia
After a brilliant start-and altogether
too much blowing of trumpets, If you
osk ns--the Blue and White has been
beaten by one of the weakest teams yet
sent out by Williams and has scored a
disputed victory over New York Univer-
sisy. Buck" O'Neill seems to have fair
material Certainly 1t is as good mate
rial as the stuff which was in the WILL
Jams eleven. But Columbia. facing tn.
game with Cornell. looks like dismal
failure.
ONeil has one Of the greatest backs
in the country In Koppsch. He has
another grand back In Roderick. He
has a fine quarterback In Burts.
Fighters ali-with the line not quite AS
strong as ii might be but yet a big
Improvement over that OF 1921. O'Nelll
has sound ideas and fine ability to
drill them into his pupils. He has n
good set of assistants. He has not the
material which comes to Cornell. Dart
mouth and Pennsylvania, but there
seems TO be no excuse for that beating
by Williams.
Not that Columbia was dlsgraced by
the defeat. Not that 1t matters over
much in the general scheme OF life. 1t
should not be taken too seriously, ani
yet not glossed over with foolish ex-
cuses. Just what Is the matter with

FIRST STRING MEN
REST AT PRINCETON
Only Three Of Players Who
Beat Chicago Join in
Practice.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEw YORK HERALp
PRINCETON, Oct. sO.--Only three Of
the Princeton regulars who fought Chi
cago to a standstill on the one yard
line Saturday appeared in uniform for
practice on varsity field this afternoon.
Beattie and Howard were permitted to
run through brisk signal drill. while
Crum, who was responsible for two
touchdowns against the Maroon, ran
around the field several times and was
sent to the showers.
Every member of the squad was re-
ported to be IN good condition with the
exception of Quarterback Johnny Cor
man and he Is expected to be back In
time for the Swarthmore game, Satur-
day. Frank Pagenkopf and Bob Dins-
more took turns calling plays for the
signal practice and during the forty five
minute scrimmage. which was held be-
tween the varsity and the freshmen.
The yearlings played rings around the
varsity. The first year men circled the
wings for consistent gains. but every
time they got within the varsity's
twenty yard line they threw the ball
away with forward passes. Lloyd
Bergen made the only score Of the aft
ernoon for the varsity when he carried
the ball over the o~c yard line.
The varsity ccy-a lined UP In scrim-
mage as fol- Drews, left end

at quarter early in the scrimmage.
Princeton football men were talking
to-day about Chicago being the greatest
city for pictures that they have ever
visited. ut is tho most picture taking

warrior. "The only time we were safe
from photographers was when we were

MALLORY CAVORTS
AT YALE PRACTICE
BOils or No Boils Eli Star I'm
able to Resist Call Of
Football.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN. Conn. Oct. 30.-All OF
the Yale varsity men were out for work
this afternoon. with the exception Of
Human and OHearn. who wrestled
with class room problems instead Of
moleskin-football players. Bill Mallory.
the Elrs best defensive back. whom
Jones was forced to use In the Army
game, despite an array Of boils. when
Scott was injured. was In his place this
afternoon as chipper as ever. Mallory
could have rested to-day, but he
wouldn't. He loves his football, loves
to be In there stopping plunges through
and around the line, and where the ord
nary player would be inclined to take
1t easy. II he had the chance. Bill never
thinks of letting up.
Mallory was the most disappointed
man in the Bowl Saturday when John
ny Mack and Tad Jones decided to send
Scott in at the start of the game. Two
minutes later he was the happiest In the
enclosure when he was ordered to take
the substitutes place. Mallory was not
worked hard this afternoon and Scott,
who has completely recovered from the
jar of colliding with Timberlake's me-
tallic shoulder brace, relieved him soon
after the signal practice was started.
Hart. the lanky end who did such
brilliant work against Williams. was In
Humans place this afternoon. but
Human will play against Brown.
Otherwise the varsity went through the
signal drill with the same personnel that
faced the Army In the early stages or
the game. Greene went In for Jess at
left tackle for few moments. George
Beckett. crippled quarterback. gave the
signals during a part of the practice to-
day and indications point toward his
being able to step In against the Bears
II needed. He will be first sub for Neil
niger.
Neale's fine work against West Point
has won him the position OF left half
back, and although he cannot, by several
yards. kick as well as Wight. his all
around football ability, combining three
essentials--lsicking. running and pass
ing-has won him the place over half
a dozen aspiring backs.
AS the first varsity was holding It's
signal drill the second varsity and the
scrubs scrimmaged. fumbling by the
varsity backs marring their work. The
scrubs could do nothing against the var
sity line, while the varsity made a
touchdown on an end run by Warner.
Jones will put his men through a hard
scrimmage to-morrow-this being the
busiest day OF the week preparatory to
the Brown game.

Fordham's S Showing Against
Westminster Unsatisfactory
Gargan May Make Shift in
His Backfield.

The Fordham varsity football squad
had a long but light workout yesterday
I'm preparation for its coming games
with Springfield College and New York
University. These two games come
within the next seven days. Fordham
meeting Springfield at Fordham Field
Saturday and ". Y. U. at Ohio Field
election day. They are two OF the
hardest teams on the Maroon's sched-
ule.
Frank Gargan, the coach. was not
satisfied with the showing his charges
made last Saturday against the light
Westminster eleven. which has yet to
win a game or even score a point this
season. He gave the backfeld candi-
dates O particular lecture on their ten
dency to tumble, which was so con-
spicuous in the Georgetown game. as
we'll as in the Westminster game, and
their inability to cope with the fast
overhead play Of Westminster. In
passing, however, Gargan said that he
felt sure they had gotten all the bad
football out of their systems.
Gargan IL seriously contemplating
shifting around In tho Fordham back
field. In the scrimmages during the
week ne Is going to try out the follow
ing combination of Woerner at quarter
back, Myers and Manning AT the nalNes
and Garrity at full. II things work
well these four will probably stSrt
against Springfield. Gargan was salts
fed with the offensive work OF that
which has been started in
the last few games. but now hopes that
he has strengthened the Maroon on the
defense.
The only injury OF any possible Inn
portance was that which Barney Fallon,
left tackle. received In Saturdays game.
In one OF the plays against Westmin-
ster Fallon received a kick in the ribs
He felt pretty sore yesterday. Though
DR.. Jake Weber. the Fordham trainer.
does not think so. X-rays taken yester-
day are liable to show that one or two
OF Fallon's ribs are broken. II Fallon
were to be lost for even one game the
Maroon would be hard hit.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 30.-While to-
day was complete holiday for the
members OF the Harvard varsity foot
ball squad It was not a holiday for the
coaches. The Princeton Tiger comes
here November IL. After what hap
pened at Chicago folks up this way ex-
pect to see a gxlawed Tiger In action
so the coaches took advantage OF the
holiday to do some planning
Next Saturday Harvard has n game
with University OF Florida. but the
week will be devoted to getting things
moving for the coming of the Jersey
team and the Southerners will be taken
on without special preparation. The
squad will get down to work tomorrow
with practically all the men In splendid
condition and the eleven days leading up
to the Princeton game will be devoted to
getting the regulars right up on edge.
1t is likely that very few of the regu-
lars will be started against Florida.
Two of the first string. however bunker
and Hartley. right tackle and right end,
are due to be on the line this week. as
neither took part In the Dartmouth
game. Harvard's linemen generally are
In for q lot OF hard offensive work, be-

had to be retired.
A change probably will be made dur
Ing the week because OF Jenkins's fine
work at end against Dartmouth. His all
round play was much better than that

turned to the backfleld group. He is
Harvard's best kicker, but II will be no
easy task to win a first place on the
eleven ahead OF Gehrke, Chaplin or
Owen.
Clark will have to go easy for a few
days because OF a bad knee and Is not
likely to scrimmage much before the
Princeton game. Grew and Hubbard are
all right, but they also will need more
than a days rest. Defensive work
against plays run from Princeton for
nations will start Immediately. but most
OF the scrimmaging this week will be
done by the substitutes.

ance record will be established for
Harvard football this fall, for the
five games, to date have attracted
10000 and the last four contests will
carry the seasons total to about
$4,000 This will make an average

Sixteen thousand saw the Middle

stadium campaign; the Holy Cross
game attracted $4,000 despite wretched
weather conditions; Bowdoin played
before 1900. while Centre and Dart

Gehrig's presence in the forward line

his team all season. He Is a powerful
fellow and is expected to stand out as

experience are seen~as a big boost. to
the backfield and yet the feeling in the
Columbia camp regarding the latter
group is not one of entire satisfactiot.
because of the fact that Bob Burtt. at
quarter, has so far failed to live up TO
expectations.

Rutgers Wrecked, Says

up hard fight.
I'VE have lost both of our ends. We
have lost Chandler. our quarterback. for
the rest OF the season. We have lost
Bender, the center; Raub.-ou great
tackle, is so banged UP and so bruised
that he really ought to be on the side

we need him badly. So Raub will go

freshman team for three men, pull n
few from the second squad and get out
some sort of an eleven for that Louisi-
ana tussle.
when we scheduled this game with
the Southerners we thought that Rutgers
would have a whale of n team this year.
But injuries have handicapped us more
than any they have hurt any other team

not quite as strong as II was last year
