EASTERN FOOTBA IL COACHES
FINDING PLENTY OF TROUBLE
Slagle And Davis Out of Tiger
Line-up-Caldwell Out At
Yale-Dooley RELOCATED To
Dartmouth Subs

New DIRK, oct. 14--tHl-Irouple
doomed all along the eastern foot
ball sector today and the walls and
groans that issued from training
sessions were indeed distressing.
The Princeton Tigers. trying TO
locate the drive that was strangely
absent against Washington and Lee
last week, pounded helplessly against
the second team. With Jake Slagle
out of the backfield from injuries
and Captain Johnny Davis, bandaged
up on the sidelines, the ferocious
Bengals simply aren't what they used
to be. Meanwhile the Navy game is
just in the citing and the Middies
look dangerous. The subs were US
ing Navy plays, too, when Princeton
made such little progress.
Strong men almost tainted at New
Haven when Bruce Caldwell. star of
the Eli running attack, returned to
practice from the hospital list and
was promptly returned to the intirm-
airy with an injured ankle. There is
a slight chance that he will be in
there Saturday against the Darth-
mouth Indians if the member is not
Sprained. The blow is most serious
when it is understood that Yale has
planned to throw a running attack
against the Mahoomams, rather than
the barrage of passes that has been
the Bulldog forte in early games.
Eddie Dooley, poet laureate of
football and the games most recent
bridegroom, has been RELOCATED to
| the subs and a tow-headed Sopho-
more named Harris showed into his
place. Perhaps Jess Hawley remem-
| bers the victory lost to the Big
Green last year when Dooley grabbed
| a ball intended for another back and
| failed to make the yardage that
| would have given Dartmouth a vic
| tory rather than a IA to IA tie with
! Yale.
| Harvard. looking good one day and
| poor the next. forgot there had been
| somewhat of a. reputation established
with five touchdowns over the sec
| ond team in one afternoon and
| promptly battled to deadlock with the
! same gang yesterday. Several regu-
! lars We're out of the lineup and re-
/ placements in the backfeld could not
! hold onto the ball. William and
! Mary warned the Crimson it would
! be in town Friday for the game Sat
/ urday.
| Pennsylvania star fullback. All
: Mascolonis, is looking ruefully from
The Sidelines While he favors a
wounded leg that may keep him from
the intersectional struggle with CHI
cago Saturday. Dick Odiorne, who
! usually fills in for i'm. has a damag-
! ed shoulder that won't be well for
| another week. Meanwhile the mid
| WeSteners, winding up their practice
! with vicious scrimmage are ready to
| set forth in their eastern pilgrimage
! In the finest condition.
The powerful air attack Of Ohio
! state, the line smashing ability of
| Marty Karow, and the sensational
/ open field work Of Eby, give Column
bla little chance to rest in preparing
defense that can stop the Buck
! eyes. And defense is the battle word
/ at Morningside Heights this week in
{ preparation for the invasion Satur-
! day. The Ohio squad will arrive here
| Friday in time to practice at the Polo
! grounds.
! Rain made the Penn State field a
! slithering quagmire yesterday, but
