Comey comes from the Uni- | versity School in Cleveland, where {Speedy Rush was formerly a teacher iand coach of the football team, is regarded as one of the most finished rlayers on the Tiger squad. He is handicapped by lack of weight, how- | ever. ‘An hour and a half was devoted to a secret drill in the stadium, dur- ing which time Rush attempted to perfect several new plays which he will use against Dartmouth. Rush declared that the scrimmage was the lzst before the Dartmouth contest. Eddy, Tibbott, Brown and Driggs composed the backfield quartet and Rush said definitely yesterday that these four would start the game Sat- urd Moore will not be able to participate. “Hold the ball” has become the islogan on the Princeton gridiron, and the Tigers had these words ringing in their ears every time they got their | hands on the pigskin.

Final Test Ithaca, N. Y Yor Cornell. s oct jarm and a forty-five-minute signal drill in the baseball cage yes- terday afternoon wound up Cornell's last hard practice for the game. The Ithacans made the best impression of recent practices. Twice from the 20-yard line the 'Varsity forced its way through the scrubs team for a touchdown. Haucke and | Speed, second string backs, were placed on the 'Varsity last night and | it is probable that Dr. Sharpe will use them part of the time at least in the Harvard game. Haucke is a strong line plunger, while Speed on end runs is one of the | fastest men on the squad. Benedict, | left halfback, did not scrimmage V! | | Harvard, with Speed and Van Horn as subs. Hoffman’s work has not been altogether satisfactory this week and Haucke is pressing him close. Miller was left at left guard on the "Varsity yesterday, but Right Tackle Jewett, who was hurt yesterday, did not get into the scrimmage, Dixon the position. There is a strong probability, however, that Red Tilley will play right tackle in the Harvard game if Jewett does not im- prove soon. Carry has definitely won the center position from Brown at least for this game. The 'Varsity line-up yesterday in- Ryerson and Zander, ends: Anderson, Shi guards; Carry, center: erick, quarterback; Speed and back. With the possible changes of Benedict at left, Tilley at right half, this is the team that is to play Har- vard. As the team wili leave this eve- ning there was no hard practice this afternoon. About twenty-four men will comprise the 'Varsity squad. Penn Men Please Coach.

JOHNSON Head of American Still Aims His| Volley at Giants’ Leader Milwaukee, Oct. 26.—It's a good thing, evidently, for John McGraw tbat Ban Johnson is not president of | the National league. According to the word of the boss | of the young major circuit, suspension from all connection with baseball un- tii he either proved or apologized for his strictures on his own team would have been the fate of the Little Na- poleon if he had been in the Ameri- cun league instead of the National when he quit the Glants' bench in the middle of a game that decided the 1916 pennant. Johnson took no gains to conceal his disappointment for the failure of the proper officials to recognize the ! gravity of the situation nor his pique | at the repeated attacks directed his way for butting in. For the first | time the executive of the American league expressed his real attitude to- ward the perpetrator of *“the worst knock baseball has had in years.” Johnson’s Statement. Said Johnson: | When 1 read of McGraw's action I was in New York and firmly re- solved not to discuss the affair in any way, confidently expecting the Na- tional league to protect the reputation of the game by properly handling the affair. “Along in the afternoon a string of | five newspaper men came to me with the statement that President Tener had declared it a closed incident. I could not believe it at first, but when assured he had taken that attitude I exploded. ‘McGraw was in absolute charge of a property of great value. He was in the same position as the captain of a ship in midocean. If McGraw’s ac- tion was as cowardly as if the captain of an ocean liner were to quit in an emergency. It deserves the same sort cf punishment that would be meted but Folwell told him to rest for an. eleven. Yesterday's scrimmage lasted than thirty minutes and was the final Jong drill of the week's practice. Two Prilliant end runs by Harry Legore, & 30-yard rushline plunge by Braden, two 30-yard broken field advances by Ffalfback Bob Bingham, and a 70 yard dash for a touchdown by End Tush Charley Comerford featured the | practice. Bingham, who has been out of the ctice for three days, displayed de- cidedly improved form on his return this afternoon, scoring two of the three touchdowns made by the var- gity in the bout with the third eleven.

Warner Hickey Dummy Dummy IS TED GETTING LAZY? Former Penn Star Will Give Up 444—1286 All Racing Past the 600 Yard Mark— Training Too Hard. Ted Meredith, holder of the world's half-mile record has probably run his last champlonship race at that distance. The probability of Meredith's steer- ing away from all races over 600 vards in the future has nothing what- ever to do with his recent defeats in Scandinavia by J. Bolin, the Swedish middle distance champion. Meredith, ever since his triumph in the 800 metre Olymplc championship at Stockholm, more than four years ago, has had no hankering to run longer distances, and except when preparing for the intercollegiate championships he has consistently avoided races over 600 yards when it was possible to do so. Of course, Meredith has started a long race at and then to please promoters who wanted to have him appear in their “specials” but he has never trained regularly for the half mile, except University of Pennsylvania needed his points in dual meets, or in the intercollegiate championship. In the last four years old Penn's point column has been the only factor capable of making Meredith work hard in training, as he must, to be fit to run the half, and now that Ted is ineligible to race for the Red and Blue it's but natural to suppose that the Quaker flier’s half-mile days are about done. Because of his susceptibility to tak ing on weight Meredith has alwa: in s { been obliged to undergo a long sieze of rigorous training whenever he sought to travel the half mle at the pace he is capable of. This thing was wholly possible for him as a col- lege student, but now in the world hustling to make good it is not likely that Ted will be able to give up the necessary time and make | the other sacrifices necessary for him to reacquire the stamina that enabled him to travel the 880" in better than 1 minute and 53 seconds. PLAINVILLE MASONS DEFEATED.

Summer Baseball Cornell of Three of Its Best Play- ers for Coming Season. Ithaca, N. Y. Oct. 26.—Fracis I Clary of Seneca Falls, captain of the Cornell baseball team and one of the best catchers in collegiate circles, has been barred from athletics for a vio- | lation of Cornell’'s summer baseball | rule, it was announced yesterday, The Cornell Alumni News, which made the announcement, also says that A. J. G. Valentine of Chicago, outfield and W. C. Wolford of Ithaca, haseball substitute, have begh declared ineligible for a similar refe son. There is no charge in any of thes§ cases that the players received aay remuneration for his services, but Cornell’s rule is stringent. It declares that a man has violated the eligibility code if he plays on other than a col- | 12ge team in a game in which adnfls- | sion is charged. Clary, Valentine, and | Wolford played as members of fire company teams in a local amateur league last summer and the admis- | sion fee was 25 cents. They made no attempt to play un= der assumed names and admitted the violations. Clary is said to have been warned before of this rule. He and Wolford did not appeal the ruling, tut although Valentine did, the Stu= dent Affairs committee could take no action. PLANNING TOURNAMENT.
