FOR SIGNAL CALLS

n YEw YORK, October 16.-Bill
Ropers on the rampage asaEl
NJ when the one-tine Philadelphia
4 alderman is in that state fero-
cious Princeton foot ball Tigers
curl up and play dead"
Bills plain disguised with the way
his Tigers behaved against Virginia's
Cavaliers and he's taking some drastic
steps to locate the punch that was SO
sadly missing in last Saturdays score
less draw.
First and foremost, Roper ordered his
squad to return to the huddle system
of calling signals after two weeks
experiment with the old vocal" method.
The Tigers had too much trouble hear
ing their quarterback call the signals,
so the huddle will be revived.
Bills changes didn't stop there. He
plans to send Buck Pendergast to right
end in place of Morrison: Hockenbury
to right tackle for Moore; Levine to
left guard for Byles, and Graham Jones
into the backfield for Requardt. Against
Lehigh this Saturday, Jack Fanshawe
will be at fullback in place of the in
1ured Mike Miles, and Dick Mestres is
to fill the guard position left vacant
by Joe Caldwell, who has been injured
so severely he will play no more foot
ball this year. Roper expects few diff
f1culties with Lehigh. but after the
Tigers showing against Virginia he
probably feels that anything can hap
pen.
The East will watch Princeton's fray
with Lehigh with no more than half an
eye. There are too many flrst-rank
games for anything more than that.
The Army gets its second "shot" at
major rival when the cadets travel
fC Dor R1NA - A4@ Sr1-
was forced to reveal most of its bag
of tricks to pull the Southern Metho-
dist game out of the fire, while Harvard
has not been particularly extended to
down Springfield and North Carolina.
The Army game should prove beyond
doubt just how much is to be expected
Of the Crimson this season.
Yale, on the basis of its surprisingly
easy victory over Georgia, rules a h1e<y
favorite to turn back Brown. which was
troubled to nose out Dayton by single
touchdown last Saturday.
Dartmouth's defense already has been
pierced by Norwich. and Allegheny and
Columbia hopes the Green's line will
show no improvement at Hanover. IN
beaten Pennsylvania meets Penn State,
which met defeat by Bucknell last week
State, however, points out that the Nit
but came on to defeat Pennsylvania just
the same.
The intersectionaI slate is not so heavy
as last weeks, but four outstanding
games will see Syracuse meeting Ne
braska at Lincoln: Colgate travelling to
Lansing to battle Michigan State; Duke
invading Annapolis to take on the dis
couraged Navy, while Washington and
Lee and West Virginia adjourn to neu-
trail ground at Charleston, w. Va, to
have their argument out.
Washington and Jefferson, beaten by
little DuqueSne, takes on another Tartar
in Carnegie Tech and Lafayette faces
its first real test against Buckneil.
After its decisive defeat by New York
University, Fordham sees little hope of
turning back Holy Cross at Worcester.
N. Y. u, however, meets minor opposi-
ton in Rutgers.
Georgetown should have little trouble
with West Virginia Wesleyan, although
the Washington collegians will find
scoring harder than it was against Sus-
quehanna and Lebanon Valley.
