Nov. 18.—In se- lecting Parker Allen for right end, the ‘Yale football coaches yesterday set- tled the lineup for the game at Har- vard next Saturday. Otherwise they will stand pat an the make-up of the team as it faced Princeton. Jim Higginbotham, the former Uni- versity of Texas outpost was picked ahead of Allen to succeed Carl Wiede- man, when the latter was injured last Saturday. When it became evident last Sunday that Wiedeman could play no more this season, the coaches were undecided between Higginbotham and Allen, and both had been tried in the position this week. Yesterday they used Allen alone and last night defin- itely announced his selection, Allen is a Meriden boy and was prepared for Yale at Andover, where | he played tackle. He was tackle for the freshmen last year. He and Mose- ley have been Yale ends most of the season- He is 20 years old, weighs 1 170 pounds, and is 5 feet 10 inches | in_height, | No serious thought of lineup changes other than that made im- perative by the injury to Wiedeman has been tolerated by the coaches, who have adhered to the principle laid down when the directorate of ten, headed by Tom Shevlin, took charge of the squad three week's ago- Yesterday twenty coaches the lar- gest staff gathered at Yale in years, assembled in the Bowl for the final practice of the season. John Kil- patrick, Howard Jones and Lucius Bigelow were in uniform to illustrate a few Harvard tricks to the ’'Varsity defense. Ivery member of the di- rectorate was present and, although no speeches were made, all had a few words to say to the individual war- riors, |- llustrating a few plays in which the coaches wished to polish the eleven in both attacking and defensive work, dummy football which ‘was strenuous enough to be termed rou- tine scrimmage was ordered. The second team included the pick of the freshmen. the ineligible and the scrub elevens. Again Harry Legore, taking the plays in Harvard formation, in which Mahan stars, was driven into the 'Varsity rushline, whose defense seemed wonderfully improved over the Harvard attack through the lab- oratory demonstration given them Tuesday when the second team first tried it on them, and yesterday met it firmly and in most cases drove it back. No attempts at scoring touchdawns were made, but both offensive and de- fensive work were tried, the final feature being the lineup of the ’Var- sity in kick formation with the sec- ond team endeavoring to crash | through and block the fleld goals of lotis Guernsey from drop kicks. In no case were the opposing team able l ta reach Guernsey, attested to the per- fection reached by the protective for- mation devised by Tom Shevlin, Guernsey s in his cleverest form s drop ter. Out of trice he boosted six over the crossbar, beginning at the thirty-yard line and gradually moving backward until the last two, which were perfect suc- cesses, were hoisted from respectively the forty-one and the forty-three yard mark. Captain Wilson, Way and Cruch, who remained longer in the Princeton game than any other of Eli players, were excused from the drill after the | signal rehearsal, following the play around the fleld during the scrim- maging, while Baldridge. Higglin- botham and Jacques played their positions. Last night the entire squad were the guests of Major Louis E. Stoddard at his residence, Tenacres, on Pros- pect hill, where a vaudeville exhibi- tion and beefsteak dinner were served. Part of the players’ equipment was shipper to Boston last night, the re- mainder going with the eleven to- day at 1:40 o’clock. Of the squad of thirty-seven players will be taken to the Woodland Park Hotel, Auburn- dale, Arrangements have been made for the Yale squad to practice in stadium about 1 o’clock Friday after- noon far an hour, the Harvard team following them in final signal and punting rehearsal. Late Friday af- ternoon the players will take an auto- mobile ride around the Boston suburbs. i Yale’s final lineup will be: Left end, Church; left tack le,* Chub’Shel- don; left guard, Black; center, White; right guard, Jim Sheldon; right tackle, Way; right end, Allen; quar- ter back, Van Nostrand; left half back, Captain Wilson; right half back, Bingham; full back Guernsey. WE; AN PREPARES, Middletown, Conn., Nov. 18.—Wes- leyan is preparing to meet Trinity at Hartford on Saturday, and is favorite at present. A team composed of the ineligibles and ccaches including Dan Keane, last year's captain, and assistant coach, is making the regu- lars work hard. Wesleyan has the best team that has represented the college for ten years. Deetjen and Harman are expected to outshine Brickley of Trinity. Deetjen has made more yards on end runs than any other man, while Harman holds the record for the longest run, 95 yards against Williams, MORE “PRO! SPEZ‘WDED. Allentown, Penn., Nov. 18.—J. Franklin Day, right tackle; Louis J. Hayes, center, and Malcolm D. Flem- ing, right half back of the Muhlen- berg College football team were sus- pended by the faculty yesterday on a charge of having played profes- sional footbal Sunday last at Massilon, Ohio, against a team from Canton, Ohio. Two seats at the All-American table have been reserved. One is for Mahan and the other for Barrett. The line is still forming for the other nine vacancies. It is also just as well to remember this—that a man may make three or four bad fumbles in a footbal] game and still be of more general use to the world than the man who runs ninety yards for a touchdown.

We used to think that l’!u" players were the hardest people on earth to please. You can boost the average player for twenty games, but if you shp in, after this, one subdued roast, he promptly flies through the roof. But ball players are easy to please when compared to the intercolegiate delegation. No matter how much you Loost, it is never enough. And if you insert one-half ounce of criticism you are blind, brainless, prejudiced, par- tisan—not to say curious in ‘he cupola and comical in the conk. Cornell-Pittsburg U, Take the case of Cornell and Pitts- hurg. Cornell camp followers—not team itself—are insisting that Pittsburg camp followers are insist- ranked with Cornell—since these are the only two unbeaten elevens in the East. We have talked to fair-minded critics who have seen both Cornell and Pitsburg play. They tell us that the two elevens are evenly matched in playing strength and that if they met the result would be a toss up. Judging from the season’s record, we believe this to be true. But if there is any edge, we believe that Cornell should be awarded the seme—and for this reason: Pittsburg playg her freshmen and Cornell doesn’t. Next year the fresh- man Tule goes into effect at Pittsburg, but in 1915 she has this advantage, | which most of the leading elevens of the country can't use. Leaving this part of the argument out, there is no choice to be made. With Cornell and Pittsburg in the first two places, on the season’s count us it stands, Harvard should come Beyond that we have no desire to tread the distance of an inch. Word From the Trojan. Football may figure that she has en- tire possession of the sporting realm, but she has another guess. From Idaho. Johnny Evers writes us that, while not feeling any too well, he has been travelling along at his average clip. “We played in a snow- storm today,” adds the Trojan, who evidently likes to play ball even more than we thought he did. There are & lot of ball players, but only one Johnny Evers. “Don’t forget, when you mention all-Eastern certainties,” writes a non- combatant, ‘‘to enrol] Spears, of Dart- mouth, with Mahan and Barrett.” Consider the enrolment signed and sealed.
