for next year's eleven BBBBl be p a t i <* -
fying to "Seedy" Ku?h. now that he
has made such a good start in estab?
lishing what shou'd be a permanent
?yatcm at Princeton.
On more than one occasion the policy
el playing only one man in the back
field to receive punts ha? been ques?
tioned In this i-olumn. It places far too
heavy a mental burden. In comment?
ing on tin? point Percy I?. Haughton,
Harvard's head coach, ?aid: "The game
SB Saturday illustrated the fatal weak
ne?? of having one man receive punt?,
n that should a muff occur the ball
; me times out of ten i? recovered by
the other side."
In justice to Rush and hi? method?
in thi? ie?pc<?. it should be empha
sized that another back is supposed to
go down thi field when the punt is
made to provide interference or re?
trieve if possible a fumbled ball, but
the danger of thi? lies in the fact a?
wa? noticeable sev-ral time? in both
th" Harvard and Yale games that the
man whose du*y ?(J wa? to cover up, so
to speak, did not go back far enough ?
to ritiicve a possible fumble before be
begin blocking off some opposing
tackier coming down the field.
Thi? very thing opened the door to a
Va'" victory OS Saturday, when Tib
l.ott fumbled a punt from Guernsey as
the second half opened. Three Yale men
w. re an tos of the loose ball, with not
n Tiger [a striking distance. The
theory of one man back i: to strengthen
the ?econdary line of defence against a
forward pass or a running play, bal as
good as the theory may be CAtahlished
practice seems much better.
There are time?, of course, when ex?
ception? to this can be made. A de?
fence of this kind would be sonnd when
playing again?? a strong wind and with
instruction? to the one man back to let
the ball hit the ground on the "safety
tir?l" policy, l'noVr such condition? a
coach would be justified in strengthen?
ing hi? secondary line against a possi?
ble forwar?l pa?? or vnie end run from
fake kick formation.
Percy D. Haughton. who, by the way,
analyzes a football game and irritai
it. too just about a? well a? he
coaches, excuse? Tibbott for the fumble
which turned the tide to Yale. He says
under his own signature In "The New
Yo.-k American":
"Whereas, the axis of the ball on
most punts i? somewhere near horiion
ta\ Guernsey's punts, especially the
ones which were muffed, had the long
axis vertical to the ground. To those
who have had experience in catching a
hall of this nature II can be readily
understood how ea?i!y a muff can be
rr.>*de."
Mr. Haughton also ?-aid: "The Har
?trd coaches and players returned to
Boston knowing that the hardest fight
of their lives av?a.?? them when Yale
comes to Iambi dge nexl Saturday.''

COLUMBIA TO PLAY
THE WESLEYAN ELEVEN
< olumbia will play Wesleyan on
Thanksgiving Haj whether Wes

not. This is the authoritative an?
nouncement thai was made yester?
day b\ ( ?barias Halated Mapes.
rhnirman of the Columbia I niter
aity committee on alhlelics. In deny?
ing that he or any one connected
with Columbia'!, football team had
written to Wesley an threatening l?i
cancel the Columbia-Wesley an gaBM
on Thanksgiving Day because Wcs
leysn plays Trinity on Saturday.
"Whether Wesleyan plays Trinity
on Saturday or not is Wesley an'?
concern," said Mr. Mapes. "It will
make no difference to Columbia, and
we will play Wesleyan on Thanks?
giving Day, as originally intended.
Although we refused to play Trinity,
it would be absurtl for us to refuse
to play Wesleyan, because, so far as
I know, there is no man on the Wes?
leyan team charged with profes?
sionalism."
were expected of him, but surely- Bar?
rett's absence at least offset this."
To this it seems exception can he
taken, as most cr.tics have been qu.ck
to give Cornell full credit. The par',
that Barrett plaved in scoring a touch?
down against Harvard within the ? i r -1
I've minutes of the gamo was ?mite
enough to show what a lOBB he was to
the team throughout the rest of th'
game.
The New York alumni of I.rhigh and
Lafayette have chartered a special
train t?> take them to the annual gaiBf
between these two colleges a' South
Bethlehem next Saturday. It will leave
the I.ehigh Vallev Railroad terminal 0.1
W? ' Twenty-third Street at 10:?0
o'clock in the morning. Liberty Street
at 11 o'clock and Jersey C;tv at 11:10
o'clock It will return immediately
after the game.

All of the regulars except ?"siptnin
Hingeley and BoSWell crime out of the
game in good condition. These two
each received a braised hip, but it la
expected that both will be all right
again by Saturday. To-morrow and the
next day the 'varsity will have hard
scrimmage? with a star team which is
being organized from the scrub and
ineligible men in college. It is ex?
pected that this team will give the
varsity much practice on Trinity's
style of football. Nightly talks are
being held after the dinner at the
training table. This is practically ths
last w?ek of hard practice for the R? 1

Ithaca.
Examination hy the Univeraity physi?

lars are not in the best condition.
Mueller, fullback: Shelton. left end;
Kckley, right end. and Anderson, light
guard, are all suffering from severe
braiaes. Fortunately, however, none
of the injuries are of a serious nature,
so that every member of the squad I?
expected back in form by the latter
part of ?he week at the hit??-*
Sharpe. Pee?! and Van Ormar, have
last one week more to drill their men

Stevens game on Flection May. and
seemed particularly unfortunate thi
he should reopen tho wound in his !lr!
play after a three weeks' layoff.
Metcajfe contined the work of th
squad to a fundamental drill in tad
ling and in handling the ball. No al
tempt was made to hold anything ar
proaching a regular scrimmage, br
?ause of the wet field, occasioneii h
Sunday's rain. Two regulars, Mille
and "F.cky" (alder, failed to get int
uniform yesterday, but both will h
in condition to ?turt against N. Yi 1

at right tackle and guard, respec'ive

w-ho were forced back to the scut
Rullwinkle, the promising candidat
for centre who dislocated his ?hou'.de
befen the opening game with Bt. Law
rence, is out for his old position.
A blackboard talk was held in th?
football locker room after the fiel?
practice and a number of new forma
tions and trick play? were rehearsei
in preparation for the N. Y. 1". game
Night practices in the gymnasium wil
be the ruie for the rest of the ne.k it
addition to th<? Workouts on SoUtl
Field.
In order to accommodate the crow?
exi-pected at the game next Satur
day with the Violet, new teemporarj
stands may be erected. The stand?
used in the gymnasium for the basket?
ball games ?luring the winter probably
will be used.

Carolan Lost to the
Dartmouth Team
in, T.|?ir?i?h -?. Tt.? ryii i-? i
Hanover, N. H., Nov. la. Refore go?
ing out on the field to-day Frank Cava
naugh gave the Dartmouth' 'varsity
-quail an hour'? talk on the fault? and
defects of the team's play against
Hates last Saturday. This was fol
lewed by a long drill against -Syracuse
forma;loii?. used by the second team,
which eemplsted the afternoon's work.
That Dartmouth experienced her ex?
pected reversal of form last week
makes her backer? the more hopeful for
a victory over Syracuse on Saturday,
(?errish. Thielscher and Duhamel were
back in the first team backtield to-day,
with Worthington at quarter and Pud
rith at right end. The latter has been
getting back into condition and is like
ly to start against Syracuse because of
his weight. llagar an.l Kmery, the
other two contestants of the end posi?
tion, have both been ?topping all play I
around their wing, in ?pite of their
lack of weight, and either one may dis?
place Pu.lnth.
The ?rani'? chances for Saturday'?
contest received a ?e.ere setback when
Canlaa, the best buck m the game on
Saturday, went to the hospital with an
iafected leg. The infection, wir'.* not
seriou?, may keep him out uni :
Sat unlay, Hn?l his los? will b.* ?evenly
felt? Aai.lt? from this the ?quad i? in
the best of condition.
ARMY BEGINS
DRIVE FOR THE
NAVY BATTU
Coffin Shifted to Quarte
?Team Has Light but
Long Practice.
i-, r.i<???r??i ?o ti.? TYit.iip? i
Wtti Point, Niv. 15. The round a
out of the Army eleven for its ba'.tl
with the Navy in New York began her
to day. The ?Irill was light but length;
and resulted among other things m
change in the line-up.
Coffin, who has been playing at hall
back and fullback for two years, wa
shifted to quarterback to-day, where h
drove the regular? in their signal prac
tice. The sud'Ien ah if t behind the Arm
1 line came after it was decided tha
neither Murrill, the plucky "plebe," o
Gerhardt, both of whom have bee
piloting the big team in its pnpantor
games thi? season, were showing th
ill's.red form in their rec?*nt comes?.
Coffin ? ? retenn of twe Navy game?
wi'h a iiioi ? ledere of footbal
i? a Aiin* catcher of paata ?-.nd fail I
good in runaiag them back. He is ,.\
pecteil to display qualitiea of general
ship that will make him the final selec
tioii for the important post.
???her changes may come this week
for although the line is considered t
be playing stronger than it has beei
for some time, there are ?till one o
two places that are uncertain. Knight':
tine showing at guard is making tin
veteran O'Hare work hard to keep ii
the running.
At end, too, there is likely to be ?
change. The race there is narrowin,
down to Neyland, Britton, Tally an?
Prickett, all of whom are going fair!?
well right now. The drive for the Na?.?,
battle is now on. and with but twelv?
?lays remaining, only half of which cat
be utilized for scrimmage, the ceachci
will keep the men on the jump.

brilliant runners with tho ball, while
Westphsl and Ma*. :s are hard working,
consistent backs. The backtield is light
it than any which the academy has had
for years, but is faster,
The backfteld will also have the help
of either Hlodgett or Von Heimburg,
both of whom were tried at left and
this afternoon. Whicnever wins the
place will drop back fo du the punting
and also will carry the ball in some
formations. C. M. Jones continued at
centre to-day, and is showing improve?

on Saturday. Brown and H. L. Ingrom.
