CANNELL TO KEEP JOB AS DARTMOUTH COACH NOVE] H., November 17.— Tt‘\i‘repm’lk‘cu ent in New York to the effect that Larry Bankhart, former Dartmouth star, was_ to supplant Jackson Cannell as coach of the Green on his freshman Princeton game la: ly false by Prof. James Richardson of the athletic council here. Prof. Richardson further intimated that the athletic council was solidly in favor of Cannell, and that there was no question that he would be retained for another year. The Bankhart rumor springs up ! every year, but usually with little or no foundation. The = undergraduate body Is abcut united in support of | Coach Cannell, and is by no means inclined to lay the blame on him for the indifferent showing of the Green ! eleven against Cornell and Penn. The Dartmouth squad at the present is laboring under a double handicap— that of injuries and the wintry weather conditions which are prevailing in Han- over. 3 INDEPENDENT ELEVENS Because of a cancellation, Independ- ent Athletic Club is without = game Teams in the 140- pound class ready to meet the Inde- pendents should communicate with E.

November 17.— Disconcerting galns against the var- sity by the second team constituted the feature of the practice at the Naval Academy vesterday, and imme- diate steps will be taken to strength- en the vaunted “stonewall” defense! of the Midshipm In the initial drive the players’ of the second team carried the ball for eighty yards, using both llne plunges and forward passes. They gained also at other stages of the game. Devons, a back of whom little had hN;n heard, did some really brilliant knifing, going" through the line fre- qucm)y for from ten to twenty vards. Soucek plunged well and tossed the ball to Ballanger successfully at least three times. the latter gaining sub- stantially on two of the plays. The only natable work for the varsity was done by Barchet, one of whose runs was for over fifty yards. Wiedorn strengthened his hold on the left tackle position, from which he displaced Ballas Monday, and probably will start against the Army.| The competition between Cruise and Hamilton for the backfield position is of more doubtful issue. Wilhide Rejoins Army Squad. WEST POINT. N. Y.. November 17.— An hour’s scrimmage was indulged in by the Army team as part of yester- day’s program. Considerable atten- tion was paid to the defense again today. The first team had consider- able difficulty In stopping the scrub attack, which was built on the plays which the Navy has shown this sea- | son. During the scrimmage Wilhide, who has returned to the squad, ran the first team, and Johnson, a spirit- ed and peppery little plebe, ran the second. ILLINOIS DRILLING HARD FOR OHIO STATE GAME URBANA, I, November 17.—Per- fection of defensive play in the two days of practice remaining before the Ohio State game is the goal of Coach Zuppke of the University of Tllinols eleven. The freshmen, using Buckeye plays, have gained too con- sistently against the Illinois varsity line to please the coach. and numer- ous shifts in the forward defense line have been tried out. Chris Woodward, most promising candidate for the vacancy left by the injury of Fullback Jack Crangle, suffered a severe wrench in scrim- mage yesterday and is being given especlal care 50 he may be used Sat- urday.

The, Old Eli players” will visit the stadlum tomorrow for punting and signal practice. Yale has decided to use the same lne-up as started against Princeton last Saturday. These players all were in the last home practice vesterday, except Diller, right tackle. Diller played throughout the Princeton game and has had a rest without even pig- nal drill this week. The coaches in- sist that he has suffered no injury, but state that they are using the same methods of bringing him into physi- cal condition which they tried on €harley O'Hearn, who was kept on side lines until the Princeton game, but who swarmed through on that oc- casion like a young tornads. They have promised to have Diller at top form against Harvard. Left end is the last position to be decided upon. This, the coaches hoped, might be filled by Blair, fresh- man tackle and captain last year. who had been awarded the place when he was injured two weeks ago. CRIMSON HOLDS LENGTHY DRILL TO POLISH PLAYS CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 17.— The Harvard forces put in some real work yesterday, drilling until dark.

TWO WOLVERINE STARS OUT OF MINNESOTA GAME ANN ARBOR, Mich., November 17. —Robert J. Dunne, captain of the University of Michigan foot ball team, will be out of Saturday’s game here with Minnesota. After an examina- tion of injurles to his shoulder re- ceived in last week's game at Madi- son, the trainers decided Dunne could not play again this season. His place at left guard will be taken by Charles Petro. Usher, one of Michigan’s best backs, also will be out of the Minnesota con- test. He was'injured early in the season when the Wolverines met the Michigan Aggies and went into the Wisconsin® game, but was forced to withdraw. —_—— CHICAGO HIGH SCHOOL TO PLAY IN BROOKLYN CHICAGO, November 17.—A high school foot ball team from Chicago will play Hall, champion Erasmus Brooklyn, N.

The Uni- Versity of Maryland freshmen, sched- uled to play the Blue and White, really' is a sturdy combination, de- spite its defeat at the hands of the Tech team last week, and will take a deal of beating. Although it won the most-coveted gridiron title in scholastic circles, Central was not up to the mark in the scrap for honors in the 133-pound i class fought yesterday. The Blueand White played pluckily against the cedy Tech aggregation, but was vated, 9 to 0, in the engagement ‘ontral stadium. iarlie Pugh, member of the family i has made foot ball history at =h, was mainly responsible for the ouncing of Central. In the first «riod he sent the ball spinning over entral's crossbar with a dropkick rom the 20-yard line, and a few min- | utes later he broke through from the 6-yard line to a touchdown. Central's best bet in the engagd- ment was Allie Johnson, diminutive halfback. This youngster smashed past the line of scrimmage for many yards ‘and was a sturdy player de- fensively. Gonzales, center, also_put up an excellent game for the Blue and White.
