Head Coach Tad Jones notified the embers of the backfleld yesterday that fumbling would be followed by their prompt dismissal to the scrub squad. He made good his threat to the case of Bingham and Braden, but was unable to call it out when Quar- terback Van Nostrand later muffed the ball. Van Nostrand was the only quarterback available, and Jones re- flented in order that the *Varsity might mot be crippled. The policy was adopted of putting the ball in play on the 'Varsity’s five- kvard line and compelling that team to march the full ninety-five yards Three times the the entire distance, carrying the bail two touchdowns and Joe MNeville for one. During the last fif- ‘teen minutes of scrimmaging the *Varsity team assumed the ball on the scrubs’ fifteen-yard line and was com- pelled to take it across in four downs. Neville scored two touch- downs in this manner. New Haven, 19.—Captain of to technic be out ur ® b a ay *Varsity covered [EHarry Le Gore l@cross for Blagden Helps Harvard. | Cambridge, Mass, Oct., 19.—Craw- | ford Blagden, ’'02, since’ he pla_ved, tackle on David Campbell’s great Har- vard team fifteen years ago, has| helped coach the Harvard rush line every year, made his first appearance of the season on Soldiers Field yes- terday afternoon. Percy Haughton also jumped into the thick of things, following up vesterday’s rapidfire coaching in brisk fashion and work- ing his team mighty hard, although for not so long a scrimmage as it went through yesterday. The freshman team was mntil today. reserved yesterday’s drill again be- ing against the scrubs. Three touch- downs were scored and the 'Varsity again showed many signs of improve- aent in the very little defernsive work they had to do. Haughton kept back of the 'Varsity all through the pla; and the team got together in good jshape. Blagden did a lot of coach- dng, and the line plays went better than for some time. Westmore Wi cox, Harvard’s quarter miler, mads several really brilliant end runs for €ood gains, but the team held to straight football and there was no forward passing. The first string men lined up as they did yesterday and the day before. Wheeler at left tackle and Day at right guard, were only line substitutes. in Taylor's place, is putting up a very aggressive game and is com. along ' very f.

It was the desire of the faoultythat the game be played in Easton, and for that reason Dean Albert K Heckle was sent with Coach Crowell to interview the Princeton authori- ties with a view to transferring the game to March Field. The result of the misslon was unsuccessful. Under the direction of Harold G. Brown, Lafayette’s line coach, the 'Varsity and scrub battled to a tle score on March Field yesterday after- noon each side scoring a single touch- down. >ott and Lake, the Lafay- ette stars now ineligible to play with the ’Varsity, were put in the scrub backfield, and. greatly strengthened the team. The 'Varsity line was strengthened by the addition of Bell, the middleweight wrestling champion at Lafayette, Tigers on the Offensive. Princeton, N. J.,, Oct. 19.—Head Coach Rush gave his 'Varsity a long drill on offensive play yesterday aft- ernoon in an effort to improve the scoring power of the Tigers. F‘ori nearly an hour the first-string men | threw their attacks at the scrubs, who, strengthened by the addition of of ’Varsity substitutes, put up a stubborn resistance and made | it very difficult for the Tigers to reg- ister any scores. Rush generally placed the ball on the 20 or 30-yard | line, and then told the ‘'Varsity carry it over in the possible number of downs, The attack of the Tigers was on the whole rather discouraging. At times brilliant flashes were visible, but Rush was evidently disappointed. That the defensive play of the Tigers is well up to standard was displayed in the game against Tufts and it s probable that during the next few | days there will be a great deal of time expended in drilling the 'Varsity on offensive play. Dave Tibbott was a member of the backfield yesterday and hé put over ro least | | | mage when his teammates were not able to carry the ball over the scrubs’ goal line.

I, Oct. 19.—Real football weather and a big squad of players all in good conditon added zest to the scrimmage both Tuesday and yesterday afternoon at ‘Andrews Field, and a feeling of optimism exists just now in football circles here Brown. For an hour thys afternoon in the presence of a big crowd of stu- dents including many of the Brown boys who have just returned from the Texas border two teams of almost equal strength battled with all the animatipn of a real game, For a while a third team, using Wil- liams’ formation, lined up against the 'Varsity. Three touchdowns for the 'Varsity was the scoring result of the afternoon. Pollard figuring in each of them on long runs. Murphy and Purdy alternated at quarter for the 'Varsity and three sets of backs were used during the afternoon. Providence, Penn. Tries State’s Plays.

One of Foster Stanford’s plays not work out very well. That was the multiple kick, which, if worked succesfully, gets more distance than a punt or place kick, but the risk is too great and in the drill this was brought out. Gaston has a strong did scrub team, and it afforded stubborn | resistance to the 'Varsity before the forty was over the regulars line for points, Using Penn. State’s offensive plays, the scrubs were unable to make any gains, and most of the plays were broken up before they could get start- ed. The 'Varsity looked much bet- ter in yesterday's scrimmage, line holding like a stone wall the secondary defense nailing every man that managed to escape the first line. attack, but minute scrimmags atie went over the | 1over Carrie M., | Schuite, ROBINS WON HONORS BY HEAVY HITTING Red Sox Earn Title of Runless and Hitless Wonders Brooklyn, Oct. 19.—It was the mighty battery of the Robins and thelr fine defense which brought them through the season with more hits to their credit and fewer errors charged against them than any other club in the National league that made Brook- lyn the pennant winner in the Tener circuit, according to figures compiled from official box sccres throughout the season. Though making fewer runs than the Giants, Brooklyn made more hits, and evidently made them count more than any other club, as the re- sult of the pennant race indicates. In the American league the Red Sox wonders, for they captured the flag in spite of the fact that they made le hits than all their rivals except Phila- delphia, and collected fewer runs than all of their opponents but Philadelphia and Washington. The season which recently came to a conclusion with the trouncing of Brooklyn by the Red Sox in the world’s series, had more unusual and interesting features than any season in recent years. Not only were the pennant races in bhoth leagues closer and more evenly sustained than for many years, but in the American league svery team with the exception of St. Louis and Philadelphia had the all their rivals s Only three clubs National league were ever out in front, these being Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston, and it was in the order named that they finished the season. Though finishing fourth, the Giants, as shown by official box scores for the season, scored more runs than any other club in the cireuit. Brooklyn, the pennant winner, ranked behind the | Giants, with Philadelphia third There were more Brooklyn players left on bases than any other team in the National league, but that was because ihe Robins got on the paths more fre- quently than any of their rivals. The Brooklyn defense, led by a fine pitching staff, held off their opponents n great fashion, and there were fewer runs recorded agairst the Robins than against any other rival organi In the American league Bill Carri- san's champions had less ervors charged against them than any other combination, while the Philadelphia aggregation had the most. St. Louis hag the least number left on bases, while Detroit holds the record for stranded players. Boston also held its opponents in check better than the remainder of the teams, for the total number of runs scored against the Red Sox was less than that against any one of the other seven clubs, while that 5f the Athletics was the greatest. The complete record of the sixteen clubs of the major leagues, showing runs, hits, errors, left on bases and rung by opponents, is as follows: | matches earned the title of hitless and runless | | mercantile houses about the city.

Windsor, Oct. 19.—Fourteen heats of real racing was offered the horse- nien yesterday afternoon at Park and only two horses clared winners. Legal W. the great son of Legal Parole, who won two heats in the 2:17 trot Tuesday, fin- ished this race in the fifth heat when he beat the survivors by coming back in 2:15 1-4. Binworth, owned by Dave Young of Holyoke, was the only win- ner on the regular program, taking the 2:25 trot easily. The other two races were not finished, the early set- ting of the sun causing the postpone- ment until today. Carrie M., Emma C., and Sonora are heat winners in the 2:20 pace, Carrie M., and Emma each having two to their credit. Carnathan has won two heats in the 2:15 trot and Koroni and Coastess Mobel each have one. The battles to the wire in all of these heats were close and the victory of Emma C., in the first heat of the pace looked like a dead heat from the grandstand. The races will be decided tomorrow and the horses will be called at.12:30 o’clock. Sage were de- WHO’S SEEN SCHULTE?

On the return trip, however, they will ment for the championship of Japan and may also play in the tournament at Honolulu. No one from the Atlantic seaboard has ever made the long trip to the Philippines for the sake of playing in the Far East championship. The rep- resentatives in the past have been drawn from California. In 1913 Wil- liam M. Johnston, the national singles champion or a year ago, was the winner of the championship of the Orient, and last year two of the Cali- fornians campeted, Clarence J. Griffin and Ward Dawson. Both fell the superior play of Ichiya Kumagae, Kumagae is therefore the present title holder and it is practically certain that he will defend his title against the pilgrims from the East.
