V. Congdon, F. S. Bunnell, F. H. Cranston. /The foliow- |ing former stars played with the scrubs:. Robinson, McCormick, Ran- dall, Barry and Stevens. The new combination formed by the shifting of Stanley to halfback and Shea to quarter is considered a won- derful change and the opinion of many is that Coach Overbagh made a wise move in this shift. Stanley is fast and has a preat fac- ulty of picking holes and is the mo:t consistent_ground gainer on the team, while in Shea, Coach Overbagh nas unearthed a coming star who, with a little more experience, will accomplish wonders. ATHLEZES STIRRED BY, NEW PROPOSED RULE Would Permit College Men to Compete for Any Club During Vacation. The athletic world has been stirred to the Amateur Athletic Union’s con- stitution, which, if adopted, will have a rhost important bearing on amateur sports. Considerable unfavorable com- ment has been heard regarding the new clause, which would enable a stu- dent at any institution of learning to claim his alma mater as his place of residence and compete either for it or any club he may select in open com- petition, during the period between Juns 1'and Oct. 1, in the district in Which the institution is located. Concerted action will be taken by the small clubs of the Metropolitan district against this rule, for it ls against them it will work the hardest. Athletes of Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Cornell, Syracuse and -other colleges would be eligible through this amend- ment to take part in the Metropolitan championships annually, and because of the thorough preparation they re- ceive in college would have a great advantage over the small club men. A college athlete coming to New York would affiliate with either the New York A, C. or the Irish-American A. C., a_majority going to the former or- ganization. With these men, many of whom would be eligible, taking part in the juniof championships, the smail club authorities contend that thelr best men would stand no chance against them, and, therefore, belleve the pro- posed rule unfair. It the nationa] delegates adopt this new clause at the annual meecting next month there will be a number of col- lege athletez seen in action around New York under local club colors who live not only hundreds but thousands of miles outside this district, This proposed rule will meet with strong opposition from the Metropoli- pected to line up' the representatives of,other territories against the amend- ment. : ‘and Fridays ‘at’ 5~ ut to v, B, B.

SCRUBS WHITEWASHED THE YALE VARSITY Scrubs’ Backs Ripped the, Varsity's Line for Big Gaine. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 29—The Yale scrubs defeated the varsity eleven, 18 to 0, today in the hardest scrimmage of the vear. Coach Hinkey made a number of radical changes, which apparently presages a general shakeup in the team. Le Gore, Cornell, Baston and Mc- Leish played in the backfield for the scrubs, while Scovill, _Ainsworth, Knowles and Gurnesey comprised the varsity backfield. . Gould replaced Bunker at end on the varsity and Blodgett was promoted from the third eleven to the second as an end. Fre- Quent changes were made in both line- ups. : ‘The scrub backs, driven at top speed, ripped through the varsity line al- most at will, while the varsity backs could not gain consistently. The feel- ing is in the air that no man is sure of his position. 3 Captain Talbott was on the fleld on crutches and it is certain that he will not play ‘against Colgate Saturday. Af- ter the practice, the elevens were giv - on a long signal drill in the baseball cage. TEAMS PRACTICING FOR BIG INTER-SECTIONAL CONTEST Wolverines Working Out at Auburn- dale—Michigan's Lineup Announced Cambridge, Mass, Oct.' 29.—The football teams of Harvard and the University of Michigan practiced only 2 few miles apart today for Saturday’s big inter-sectional contest In the Sta- dlum. From both camps came en- couraging reports tonight. . The Michigan squad arrived short- ly after noon and went at once to thelr quarters at Auburndale.

The cap- tain is afraid of further injuring his jaw, which was hurt Saturday, and Noonan is suffering from a alight at- tack of iliness, but he will be seen in the iineup in today’s practice. A hard signal drill was given to the players, which was followed by a short scrim- mage with the second team. KEllis, the big tackle, is being tried at fullback. H. Donneily, the present fullback, is 2 powerful defensive player, and may be put on the line but this is not probable, as he is needed in the bact-- fleld. In the Norwich game Donnelly will play fullback on the offense and center on the defense, Maher, the reg- ular center, changing with Donnelly. Cheer Leader Rose has announced that the extra car which is to carry the Bulkeley rooters to Norwich Sat- urday, will leave the Parade at 145 p. m. and will arrive in Norwich at 2145, in plenty of time for the game. The car will leave Norwich directly after the game, so that if Bulkeley wins, everything will be in readiness for the celebration Saturday night. Some of the students are planning to spend the night in Norwich and at- tend a few dances which are going to be held there that night. SUPERBAS REVOLT.
