Harvard’s Many Injured. ambridge, Mass., Oct. 15.—Har- rd put on the finishing touches to- for its coming match with Uni- Irsity of Virginia, which, two weeks beat Yale 10 to 0. The drill was der than yesterday because of the cesdity to get several substitutes 0 shape to do regular work. Harvard will not be able to start Ilman and Parson, the tackles, ainst Virginia, and McKinlock, now e best man on defense in the back- ld, will not leave the infirmary in jme to play even against Cornell. rtis and Caner, therefore, will have be relied on as tackles, so that the pnfidence in the Crimson’s rush line ffense is not great. _In order to help out the backfleld tuation, Wiggin, who played center br the freshmen last year and has een the first man for snap back until ecently, is at halfback now- He is lew to rushing, but is a natural de- nsive players. Boles, who was joming along nicely at quarterback, urt his knee today, and as Watson is ot in good trim Wilcox will doubt- ess be at quarterback against Virgin- with Doherty of last year’s fresh- jnen team as first alternate. Harvard will be stronger at han heretofore, with Lyman Boucy as'the regular pair. In the scrimmage against the sub- titutes yesterday afternoon the only coring was done on a 36-yard drop Jkick by Maban. Against the scrubs he ’Varsity gained a lot of ground, but was not allowed to try to break through to the goal line. When in the neighborhood of the 30-yard line Haughton sent in his drop kickers, and in three tries each Mahan, Rob- inson, and Whitney made a perfect 8core. After that Mahan tried a shot from the 45-yard line, but missed. Harvard has the biggest list of cripfles in years, and the continued absence of men like Parson, Watson, Horween, McKinlock, and Enwright, threatens to retard the development of the team to a large degree. Capt. Miles Returns to Quarter Back. Annapolls, Md., Oct. 15.—Still an- other change was made in the back end and fleld yesterday moon, the most notable being the return of Captain Miles to his old' place at quarter back. Miles was first sent to half back and later relegated to the scrub, but he was at the pivot this afternoon, and will probably start against the University of Pennsylvania Saturday. .The other backs were Broadfoot, Martin and Westphal. Martin is a. fourth-class man who did good work at the end early in the season and is believed to have ability in carrying the ball. Westphal has both weight and speed and is believed to be due to return to last season’s form, though he has done little so far this - year. In view of the fact that so many of the back-field men are hardly fit, there was no scrimmage yesterday, and there will probably be none today. There was much kicking and catching the ball, with long drills in signals and forward pass formations. Big Brown, the old navy linesman, demon- strated to a squad of the big fellows some fine points of line play. Ends Are Weak. Hanover, N. H.; Oct. 15.—A short scrimmage followed the two-hour se- cret practice yesterday during which several new plays were tried out. Worthington is showing up remark- ably well. He has played quarter back for three days and should be heard from later. He featured yes- terday’s play by running back a punt 90 yards for a touchdown. Holbrook, who played quarter back # for the scrubs, is also showing much im- provement. Barrows kicked a goal from the 40-yard line, following a fair catch. Later Scully kicked a goal from the 30-yard line. The ends are still weak, and here is Coach Cavanaugh’s greatest problem. Five of the old Dartmouth stars are work- ing with him every day. They are Keady, Lehigh's coach, Loudon, last Vvear’'s freshman coach; Ingersoll, of the class of 1911; Donley, Worces- ter Academy’s coach, and Redfield, end on last year's team. Ponder was shifted from full back to half back and he made a marked improvement. Fishback is showing up as a possi- bility for tackle. News Of Other Elevens. Middletown, Conn., Oct. 14.—The Wesleyan eleven is confident that it will be able to defeat Bowdoin at Andrus Field Saturday. It is prob- able, however, that the team will not attempt to run up a large score, as Coach Eustis desires to save the men as much as possible for the game with Amherst the following Saturday. Becker, a half back, and Harman, full back, are out of the game for the present, because of injuries, but it is hoped that both will be able to play against Amherst. For the Bowdoin game, Captain Higerley will be at center, and Crafts, who has shown Boston, Oct. 15.—Every world’s series has produced a hero. This year it is Duffy Lewis, the Boston Red Sox star left fielder.

State College, Penn., Oct. 15.—The State College football team, which de- feated Pennsylvania on Franklin Field Saturday, has had only light work this week in preparation for the game with Gettysburg, Saturday. The men -got a rousing reception from the State College students yesterday, and President Sparks and other members of the Faculty made speeches prais- ing the work of the eleven. The team had a light serimmage with the freshmen eleven yesterday afternoon, all of the regulars playing, with the exception of Thomas, who played a sensational game against the Quakers, He will be in the game against Gettysburg. Port Deposit, Md., Oct. 15.—Tome School will play its old rival, Law- renceville, of the Tome Field grid- iron, Saturday. The local team is one of the best that has represented the school in several seasons, and though the eleven will be slightly lighter than Lawrenceville, a close battle is expected. Tome School counts strongly on the playing of Brunner, the best man in the back fleld. - (Continued On Thirteenth Page.)

There were several striking details connected with this series which will bear a bit of reviewing. One was the closeness of the scores in four games where every contest, outside of the .ore, had the appearance of a one- sided contest. Here were the Red Sox with a better machine in every way, better at bat, better in the box, more spectacular in the field. Here was this better machine getting the best of the breaks, and yet in spite of all this winning, game after game, by only one pallid tally. You had a feel- ing, after at least three contests had been played, that the score was about G to 1 or 7 to 2 in Boston's favor. Yet in these three games, Boston won 2 to 1 only a shade befiter luck by Philadelphia at would have given least two games. Lewis Stands Alone. How about the original dope pre- sented before the series started? In the main it fared very well—especially in so far as the Red Sox were con- cerned. The strongest part of their ctub had been settled upon the pitch- ing and the outfielding, with the three star outfielders favored. And these | were the three who gathered in most | of the honor and glory. The work of | €peaker, Hooper and Lewis has never been equalled in any world's series in | the past. No other outfielder, and | Ty Cobb has been in three world | series, has even even approached the | rare cliss shown by Duffy Lewis. He | cver overshadowed Speaker by his | great all around value. Lewis did the best batting and the best fielding, a | combination that still possesses some | {value in the general statistics of the | | aay. Red Sox Run to Form. Boston played true enough to form, there was no break in her defense. | Darry furnished the excellent ball he | was known to have in stock. The | infield fell back of the radiant bril- | liancy of the outfleld, but it did its | work well enough. And the pitching | was about what any one who had fol- lowed the fortunes of the Red Sox club expected the pitching to be. There were no Red Sox upsets. The entire machine carried its class and | . form intact through the series. Alexander Disappoints. The Phillies show in a different | way. Alexander won and lost a game | out of two starts. He achieved the | cnly Philly victory. Yet it must be | eaid that Alexander was a trifle dis- appointing in his work. Not that he pitched bad ball. He pitched very well, holding Boston to three runs in two games. But his work was only a | faint shade above the form shown by | Mayer in his first game and Chalmers | in the fourth battle. He did well enough for an average showing, but there was no trace of i anced PORT IGHT Grantland Rice club at the bat and sound ball around first. rot only proved that he is one of the great shortstops of the game, but showed his nerve by batting above his normal speed under heavy pressure. These two men were the bright spots in the Philly summing up and about the only two that stand well out. Summing It Up. Back of the bat there was difference. Boston had the surer pitching, by far the better bal- staff. Luderus had something or Hoblitzel at first base and Ban- croft had quite a bit in Scott at short field, especially for general all around value. But in every other job the Phillies were outclassed. Barry made Niehoff look far worse than usual, and Niehoff is no wonder on his best Gardner had something on but not a lot. These two were very close. The big edge came in the Red Sox outfield as compared with the Philly trio. Here there was no comparison to be made. The Phil outfield was inly ordinary in its play. The Red Sox outfleld gave the great- est exhibition ever seen in the twelve world series played. If Lewis alone had been traded to the Phillies for Whitted, Cravath or Paskert there is u fine chance that Philadelphia might have won in six or seven games in place of losing in five—in place of being beaten four straight. For of those last two victories at least two would have been defeats if Lewis had heen producing the same stuff for the other club. playing good, ancroft, too, little safer, LOOKING FOR GAMES, Editor Herald:—Please put this challenge in your paper for us.

He struck out six times in five games. He was of little value on offense, with little to do upon defe The total result is a big disappoint- ment to his followers, where if Fate bad been upon his side and had trans- ferred those three blows from Boston to Philadelphia, he might have taken his place side by side with Duffy Lewis, and the series might still be raging in all its seven game fury, Two Stars of Phillles, For the Phillies the two main stars were Luderus and Bancroft.
