The scrimmagir minutes and with today, will comprise the most strenu- ous part of the practice for the Washington and Jefferson game on Saturday. Baldridge, because of a slight ankle bruise, was absent from right tackle, and Oarsman Larry Fox starred in another trial at that posi- tion Halfback Bob Bingham was still suffering from a sore throat, and Harold Carey was again in brilliant form at his place taking the ball across the scrub goal line in an eight-yard center plunge for the sec- ond touchdowr of the afternoon, Quarterback Traver Smith ran the eleven for the first time since his in- jury in the Lehigh game. Captain Black, although lame, remained in the entire practice. The 'Varsity was |pitted against Dr.. Bull's eleven, as the |third team has been named. It took the ball from its own twenty-yard line the entire distance to touchdown in ten minutes. ‘A ten-yard end run by Legore, followed by two fifteen- vard end runs, gained most of the jground. ~ His final end dash scored Ithe first touchdown. The scrubs recelved the ball at thelr twenty-yard line, but were un- able to advance and Quarterback Duryee kicked to mldfield. Legore caught well and crashed back to the scrubs’ seventeen-yard line, where he fumbled. Head Coach Jones, how- ever, allowed the 'Varsity to retain the ball, and on the next play Jacques broke through to the eight- vard line, and Carey immediately reg- istered his touchdown. The visiting coaches were Paul Veeder, John Field and Joe Swan.

J., Oct. —The Princeton football squad held its prac- erday afternoon in the sta- dium which will be the scene of the game with Dartmouth on Saturday. TUniversity Field has been used all s son both for daily practice and games, as the turf in the new foothall arena | has been partially destroyed by grub worms, but the large promised for the Dartmouth contest will require a larger seating capacity than the old field affords. Rush gave his charges a hard scrimmage yesterday, and the per- formance of the ’Varsity eleven was not particudarly encouraging. The interference of the first string team seemed to discourage him, especially in spite of the fact that so much tim> has been spent in this depart- ment of the game during the last week. When the scrubs were given the ball against the 'Varsity they were able to penetrate the first team’s de- fense consistently. Bven the ex- perienced Tiger line seemed to be in somewhat of a slump for Georgie and Haaren were able to gain on line plunges many times. Speedy Rush seems to be a little de- spondent these days over the outlook for Princeton during the next few weeks. Latrobe, Moore and Haas are still kept from active work by in- juries and yesterday Ames was kept from practice by a slight illness. It is not likely that any of the first three men will be able to start In the Dartmouth game, but Tibbott will be a likely substitute for Moore’s po- sition. It will be a more difficult matter to pick a man for Latrobe’s place at tackle, McGraw is being used at the position, but either Halsey or Kauffman who are now able to play, may finally be chosen to start Satur- day Princeton may depend on Drigg's i s A punter to advance the ball into Dartmouth territory and then rely on Tibbott’s toe to drive the ball between the crossbars whenever the Tigers are not able to advance the ball rushing. Tibbott is being oroughly drilled in kicking from all es p! of the practice vesterday isting of his attempting a number kicks from scrimmage. Haaren, substitute backfield man was also -cessful in his attempts, by rly Hard At Work. et —The am got down to res i esterday afternoon ita pr tion for its annual game viith Corneli.

The coaches kept right after the 'Varsity, which, while running its own offense, worked defensively against the scrubs, who were using pl the scouts have seen the Cornelllans use this fall Harvard has kept very close tabs on Cornell this season because of last year'’s defeat but it is believed here that Al Sharpe will have some new methods of attack which he has not | allowed his team to use in its pre- liminary mes, Yesterday afternoon vard cripplés were on watching the 'Varsity play, except | Clark, ar, and Bond. The coach- i es, however feel that in emergency | they will be able to use any player | they want with the exception of Bond whose shoulder is improving very slowl There is now no doubt that Harvard will be considerably stronger against Cornell than in any other game, but even so the players are not overconfident that ey will be able to wipe out last vear's defeat. Head Coach Haughton, however, always is optimistic and the team has made much progre: in the past ten days that a real rally Sat- urday would not surprise him in the least. The team as it worked yes- terday included the regular end rush- ers Coolidge and Harte. Wheelor was at left tackle and Caner back in his usual place on the right wing, Snow was again at right guard, where he was making such satisfac- tory progress when hurt two weeks ago. Harris continued at center and the regular back . field, with Robinson at quarter, started the day’s drill. While so many of the former first string men hava been hurt, men like Wheeler, Thacher, Horween and Casey have made great progress and henceforth it will be a question of the other men fighting to regain their places rather than belng put into the first line-up immediately after they all the Har- the sidelines s0 attendance | in | are ready for hard work, Berry Is Fit to Play. Philadelphia, Oct. —~The Penn- svlvania. football team has a little ammunition for the Pitt game that no scout has seen this season, but the !le.\VS is that Howard Berry was not injured enough in the State game to keep him from going in against War- ner’s eleven on Saturday in Pitts- burgh. 25 Legore, fi’ingéain, Jacques ’ and Neville Give Yale a Powerful Backfield New Haven, Oct. 25.—Football ex- There will be no change in the personnel of the Penn team for the Piittsburgh game, Coach Folwell an- nounced yesterday afternoon.

A new trainer joined the Penn squad yesterday afternoon. He is Mike Dee, who keeps the Phillies in trim. Billy Neill, the guard, paid a visit to Coach Folwell, and he asked the permission of the head coach to have his case retried by the faculty com- mittee.

Cornell Practice Severe. Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 25.—Cornell aft- er a long preliminary drill, which was devoted chiefly to kick-offs and punt- ing from scrimmage formation, had a long scrimmage between the ’varsity and scrubs yesterday, which lasted until dark. Three 'varsity and one second-string man had to leave the line-up because of injuries, of so strenuous a character was the engage- ment. The men who appear to have been most seriously hurt are Bretz, who was on the ’varsity at left half, back in place of Benedict and Jew- ett, at right tackle. These men suffer- ed leg injuries which may keep them from the Harvard game on Saturday. In addition to these two, Miller left guard, who already had been on the side lines for ten days, was forced to leave the scrimmage vyesterday, and Bard, a big sub guard, also had to re- tire. Several changes were made in the *varsity as a result of the injuries and for other reasons. Carey was placed center in place of Brown, while Sut- ton went in at right tackle and Taylor at left guard. Zander and Ryerson played the ends. In the backfield Dr. Sharpe sent Hoffman to the scrubs and brought Haucke to the *varsity from the second team. Van Horn was used at left half on the scrubs, and distinguished himself by making several errific drives through the ’varsity line. Tt was learned yesterday that there is a strong possibility that Eckley, right end on last year's ’varsity team, who has been unable to play so far this year bocause of a technicality in- volving summer baseball + playing, would be declared eligible and would get into the Harvard game. Colgate Offensive Wealk. Hamilton, N. Y., Oct. 24.—Coach Harry Bankart put the Colgate foot- ball squad through a long practice vesterday afternoon, the first one of | the week. The men who played in saturday’s game came out without an injury, but in yesterday’'s practice several men were hurt. Watkins, a | backfield man, received a kick in the knee which may keep him out of the game for a week. Brewer, a new ines; suffered from the loss of four front teeth. Barton has been out of active practice several days be- | cause of poor condition During the course of play the sec- ona team gained repeatedly on the { "varsity while the frst string men in punting practice, while Gello, West, Captain Corning and Good tried kicking from the kickoff and place- ments. DILDON IS BEATEN. Levinsky Outpoints ‘“Bearcat” and Ts Awarded Referee’s Decision, Boston, Oct, 25.—Battling Levinsky of Bridgeport <claimed the light heavyweight championship of Amer- ica last night after outpointing Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, in a twelve round bout. The referee’s decision was undisputed. Levinsky_had whatever advantage there was in every round except the fifth. He rocked Dillon at times with both right and lefts ang showed his ability to take repeated without apparent 1loss of strength. Dillon semed to lack his usual ag- gressiveness while Levinsky added to his customary strong defense an of- fensive that was compelling, Levinsky outweighed Dillon by ten or twelve pounds. i punches | et MERIDEN BOUTS, Capital City Fighter About Ag Go()d‘[ As He Ever Was—Young Mack Wins | Meriden, Oct. 25.—The Lenox A.

Col- lom also defeated W. H.

Oct. 24.—Three of the five events on the third day's program of the inter- national track and field games here were captured by the visiting Ameri- can athletes from their Scandinavian competitors. Joe Loomis, the cego sprinter, who has won all the dashes in which he has competed, continued his winning streak by again finishing in front of Rustad in the h0-yard dash, Rustad is a Norwegian and is the only man who has been able to keep near the Americans the short distance events. He fin- iched second, beating out Bob Simp- son the champion hurdler from the: United States. Simpson met with better success in the broad jump, in which he carried off first prize, with his fellow hurd- ler, Fred Murray, in second place. The latter again displayed his ability as an all-around performer by taking second place in the shot put to Hel- lum, the Norwegian welght throyer. Through the distance of the relay race was Increased to 800 meters, the Americans were again able to dem- superiority in this hranch >t the sport. The visiting quar- tet easily defeated the Scandinavian team in 1:33 8-10. Ted Meredith, who has been un- able to win a race here at any dis- tance over 100 meters, met with an- other defeat today in the 1,000-meters in which two Swedes finished In front of him. Bolin ran another fine race, winning in 2:31 6-10, only a fraction slower than the record time he made | when he first defeated Meredith. Mel- 2n of Sweden was the other man to beat the American.

Keeping up the fast pace set at the opening of the season, the Live Oaks captured three games in the City league last evening, the South Ends being their latest victim. Eddie Prior just back from the Mexican border, was in the winners’ lineup, and the brand of bowling displayed by this player showed that he still retains much of the prowess he pos- sessed before President Wilson issued the call to arms. After making it a runaway match in the first game, the Live Oaks were forced to put on { full steam to garner the next two games, the South End boys forcing them to the limit. A margin of four pins separated the teams in the second game while 10 pins was all the victors had in their favor in the final set to. Prior with 117 lead in the high single score while Cage gar- nered honors for high total with 299. The Tigers continued on their tri- umphant march toward first place, beating the Harpoons thrice.
