RAIN MAKES CHANGE
IN SCHOOL GRID LIST

Rain saved Bhsiness Highs grid
ironers from forfeiting their high
school contest to Tech yesterday. No
one desired to see the Ninth Streeters
lose the chance to. face Tech because
, they were unable to place eleven
eligible players on the field. but until
yesterday this appeared to be a neces-
sity.
The Manual Trainers were sched-
uled originally to oppose Business
yesterday, but the latter team in
formed Tech that it would be unable
to play, due TO its ineligibles. In
the meanwhile Eastern and Central
agreed to play their postponed game
yesterday.
Arrangements now are, pending to
SHIFT the Central stern fray to an
early date in November, probably on
the 3d. Tech and Business have
yet to arrange q date for their game.
Advisory marks for the second period
are to be issued Friday and Business
ineligibles probably viii remove this
condition.
Twice thwarted to open the series,
Eastern Highs gridironers will take
the field against Western in the open
ing contest Friday in Wilson Stadium.
Several Western stars will be una bic
to play. but it is expected that
Coach Ahcarn will send strong team
on the field. Their condition should
be- improved by Friday.

due to encounter the Catholic Uni
versity fIosh today at 3 o'clock

PRINCETON DRILLS
WITH MUDDY BALL

PRINCETON, n. J.. October 24-A cold,
driving rain kept the Tigers indoors
most of yesterday. In the last few
minutes Of practice Coach Roper led
them out to University Field for q
brief signal drill with the slippery
ball. Earlier in the afternoon prelim-
mary work was held in the cage,
consisting Of a blackboard talk and
signal practice. Poe's Omelettes were
favored by the unfavorable weather,
which gave them a rest from scrim-
mage for the first Tuesday in many
weeks.
When the squad finally took the
field the linemen went up against the
dummy for a stiff tackling drill and
later had q chance at line opposition
when Dickinson carried the~ball and
gave each successive man Il chance at
tackling. Meanwhile the backs and
ends went through Il kicking drill
and getting down under the punts,
with the duarterbacks receiving the
bail but with no tackling allowed on
the run back.
Van Gerbig and Legendre did the
punting and found the ball heavy and
hard TO manage. but consistently got
good distance. The former averaged
y
gendre in the Notre Dame game and
probably will be used chiefly for this
part of the attack against the Navy
Saturday.
\ special train is TO be run from
Tigertown to Baltimore Saturday to
handle the Princeton rooters.
Heavy woolen jackets were the
order of the day when the eleven
took the field for signal drill and the
men ran through a stiff workout
under the watchfu1 eye OF Keene
Fitzpatrick and Coach Roper. 4 FUR
ther shift in the linemen took place
when Emery and Hills were put at
the guard posts. with the veteran
Rutan and Booth at the tackle posi-
tions. The coaches have been dis
satisfied with the work of the for
wards and expect this new change
to bring results.
The team lined up for signal drill
as follows: Smith and Stout, ends;
Rutan and Booth, tackles: Emery and
Hills, guards; Bergen, center: Cor
man. quarterback: Beattie, Van Ger
big and Gibson, backs.

The first, second and third elevens spent

The varsity lineup was the same as
followed the reorganization Tuesday
except that AIilStead was rested and
Miller. who was deposed at right tackle
by Blair. filled AIilstead's berth at left
tackle, Blair retaining right. Neale was
not used. Pond being given right half
back, while the coaches devoted close
attention to RicheSon. whose physical
condition has finally allowed him to re-
turn to quarterback, and to Stevens,
who has succeeded O'Hearn at left
halfback.
Neidlinger ran the second eleven. in
dicating that the coaches plan using
him again at quarterback instead of re-
turning him to halfback, which he play
ed during his entire career until forced
to go to quarterback last season in a
varsity emergency. The coaches plan to
start Richeson Saturday. The entire
repertoire of plays used this season
was covered.
