Captain Horween Scores Only Touchdown in Harvard's Last Scrimmage for Yale Game
Crimson Coach Still Undecided
On Firs* String Quarterback
Fitzgerald Expected to Receive Preference Over
Buell; Sedgwick Gives Way to Faxon at
Left Tackle; Crocker Again Is at Right End
Special Cmvenpondenoe
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov., 17.-?An unexpected scrimmage lasting
ten minutes proved the feature of Harvard's work-out in the Stadium this
afternoon. The varsity, given the ball on the 20-yard lir.e, battered the
second t?am about with line smashes and some puzziing forward passes,
and Caita-in Horween finally was pushed over the line for the one touch?
down of the day. The second eleven didn't put up much of a battle. The
varsity is not expected to engage in any more scrimmaging before
the big game.
Tt appears as if the coaches are try?
ing to puzzle the Yale statisticians, or
? are really undecided-whether Buell or
Fitzgerald will start at quarterback.
Buell was in during the scrimmage
to-day, but Fitzgerald replaced him and
drove the teum for tne touchdown.
The chances that Fitzgerald will pet
the call Saturday are excellent. He
? seems to be more steady than Buell;
the latter, however, is sure to get in
at some time.
Faxon was chosen for left tackle in
preference to Sedgwick, although the
latter had a part in the scrimmage.
Hubbard played right tackle. Woods
stayed out of the scrimmage, but wa?
in the regular line-up during sign .1
drill. Brown and Tolbert were at the
guards during the ten-minute battle.
Crocker was the choice over Macomber
again at right end, while Kane h;..d
undisputed possession of the other
, winp, Havemeyer was at center.
Cnurchill started at rig.it halfback,
but Fitzgerald and Humphrey also had
their brief inninjr there during scrim?
mage. Owen, who played left half?
back, took part in a long- punting drill
with the. other three men and, with
the exception of Humphrey, did as^well
as any of them. The muddy ticid, how?
ever, was against accurate kicking.
..,. Captain Horween, who played full?
back, was one of the dro;> kickers,
B practicing with his brother Ralph.
Lothrop Withington, r. former Har
* vard football leader, and Captain Amie
. Horween spoke at an enthusiastic mass
-^-meeting to-night. The undergraduates
" .''will cheer the team at to-morrow's
practice, which will be the last of the
season.
Head Coach Fisher was also a
?: speaker. He said:
"t'aie ha3 a wonderful, powerful
squad of football players who have
not found themselves yet. But they
will have found themselves wh n
they face the Harvard team in the
Bowl Saturday. We expect a fight
! ing game from ?ho time the opening
I whistle suonds until the sixty min
* utes of play are up, and we will have
S to play <;ur utmost to win.
"There are sixteen men on this
team .'ight now and if you were to
... ask me which ones are going to start
n the Yaie game I would have to say
eleven of those sixteen. And 1 am
sure I don't know just now. That is
' because every one of these men is?
fighting his hardest to make a regu?
lar position."

5 Yale Squad Takes
To Baseball Case:
Tries Aerial Attach
I
From a Sjierial Correspondent
NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 17.?Rain
j to-day drove the Yale? football sq'ind
into the spacious baseball enge. The
ittre gridiron squad went to the Bowl
bul f. d that the storm was rap \
and that the playing field was m iddy,
whereupaii they returnd t i the gymna?
sium*. A long signal drill for rhiep
varsity elevens was ordered, and :
dummy scrimmage between the (h t
and ?second varpity teams closed the
,-.!' ei noon's work.
Forward passing, varied by puntin<7
comprised practically the entire ses?
sion. Head Coach Tad Jones emph ?
sized the defense for 'he forward !>??.- -
an attack which the Elis believe Har?
vard is likely to develop here Satur?
day.
Tom Dickers returned to the line?
up, but his injured kv.ee has not yet
fully recovered its strength, and he
will be used on the secnod eleven for
the present. It is doubtful whether he
will start Saturday's game, but he prob?
ably will be used for one of the ?
riods. To-day Albert Into and Leon
Walker were again used at tackles,
The eleven, as reorganized yesterday
for the Harvard game, was continued.
Perry Bean and .less Sturm, the former
third string player wore retained al
right end and fullback, respectively
Bean tips the scales at exactly 200
pounds and is the heaviest and who has
been developed for ?? Harvard game in
the history of the F.li team.
Word has been received here that
the Harvard team will reach here Fri?
day at noon and will use the Bowl for
an extended practice. With tee v\
ception of one hour, the gridiron has
been placed at its dispcsal for tin
entire afternoon.
A mass meeting was held to-night
which was addressed by Captain Tim
Callahan and Head Coach Fad Joi ??
They thanked the college for standing
behind the team universally and 1 yally
and predicted that the players would
render a first class account of them?
selves.
The varsity eleven as it lined up to?
day aoJ ?????????7 will play Saturday
was as follows: Cutler, 'eft end; Into,
left tackle; Acosta, left guard; Cross,
center; Callahan, right guard, Walker,
right tackle; Bean, right end; Kemp
ton, quarterback-, Aldr.ch, left half?
back; Kelley, right halfback; Sturm,
fullback.

injury to his shoulder and will start
at right halfback against Brown Satur?
day, accor?ling to announcement made
to-night. The Green leader broke his
shoulder tarly in the season and in?

WEST POINT, N. Y? Nov. 17.?
Handicapped by t)ie distr? *-;vz weather
condi ions which have prevailed all
tiie week, the Army eleven went]
through a two hours' drill to-day in j
further preparation for the Navy game.
The practice was far from satisfactory.;
Two sessions were held. First, the ?
mon were sent into the riding hall, l
! where they worked out in the tan !
? i ark, which was ankle deep. Later
? they appeared on a Held soaked after?
! a three days' rain.
The drill was without speed, due to ;
the heavy ground. At center Greene1
and Enderton alternated. Strol ecker
?was not used except in a passing drill. |
Pitzer, who has played a? a substitute
? tackle, was shifted to end in the scrim

'Ion Storck, regular end, was missing,

For Colmate Game
Special Correspondence to The T<-ib:me
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Nov. 17.?With
Babe Frugone, of Brooklyn, in the j
quarterback job the Syracuse Univer- j
si'y football team is being given a>
week of hard work in preparation for |
the Colgate battle Saturday.
Mechan says he will keep his men |
going at top spe id until Thursday, fol?
lowing with a signad drill Friday be?
fore the final came of the season.
Line Couch Hoir is much in evidence
this week correcting weak spots as
displayed in the disaster with Mary?
land State lust week.
It is quite ?ni..ha.ne that Frugone will
start the game at quarterback against
tho Maroon this week, following the
d? wi fall of both Parker and Guide in
ti?" last game. Frugone worked splen?
didly in the game with Dartmouth, ?
which Syracuse wen, but did riot show!
u| so well in the Ho.y Cross en?
counter, lie was also injured in that
battle and was out of the game because ;
cf his shaking up for several days.
As a result Parker and Guide got I
their char:?',' against Maryland State
-.ml failed to make good. The only
?alternative Mechan has at present ij ;
to use Cowell, who started the season
in the quarterback position. Cowell is
still limping badly Pom an injury to
his leg and there appears to be only a
slight chance that he will be able to!
take pan in the Saturday fray.
Penn to Retain Heisman
Despite Poor Showing
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17. ?Denial
was entered by various members of the
University of Pennsylvania football
committee to-day to the story appear?
ing in a New York newspaper to the
efi'ect that Coach Heisman would leave!
the university at the end of this year,I
owing to the poor success of the team.
These officials pointed out that Heis?
man did not have a contract beyond
this year and one had been offered him
by the committee, which was perfectly
satisfied with th record of the team,
m pit? its live straight defeats. Uni?
versity men ascribe the poor showing
to the fact that an entirely new system
had to be installed, that Penn had an
unusually heavy schedule and suffered
many injuries.

Princeton TSol Likely
To Play on the Coast
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.? No de?
cision has yet been made with regard
to the Princeton University football
team playing a game with a Pacific
Coast eleven at Pasadena, Calif., on
Now Year's Day. William W. Roper,
coach of the Princeton team, who lives
here, said to-night that he hadd un?
officially advised an invitation would
be extended to have the Princeton team
play in Pas.adena. He has not been in
Princeton for several ???vs. he said,
and does not know whether the official
ir.v itat ion has arrived.
From what can be learned here the
prospects at this time are against the
trip unless great pressure should be
brought to bear.

Driftwood
We ?mow how far we've wandered from the dim, old-fashioned highways, j
We know how many leagues we've come from off the beaten way.
We know how many dreams we've lost alcrng the twisting byways
That we sliall never find again this side of Judgment Day.
Wc meant to come a little way, as fledglings test their power,
And then to seek the old home nest around the nearest turn,
And as toe drifted out the road we thought each passing hour
That we had but to look an 7 see the oldtime candles burn.
And then, somehmv, we lost the road, by hill and heather groping
Along strange paths where heavy mists rolled''in like ghostly foam,
And so we stumbled out dim trails, still dreaming and still hoping
That we might find the long lost turn, some day, that wandered home.
Year after year, we're drifted on, bewildered and still seeking
The one-way road to lead us bwk among the oldtime band,
And when the rain is at Hie eaves we hear dim voices speaking
Too faint and low across the night for tis to understand.
Dim voices blown upon lost winds?and with it all the far light
Of gleams when summer skies were blue and summer days were long;
Of gardens full of ghosts and dreams and roses in the starlight,
With hare and there a memory of some forgotten song.
A few, perlwps, will find the road before the darkness smothers
The lust faint light that waits to show the latchkey and the mai;
A few will find the lucky turn --and as for all the others,
We'll slog along and dream along?and. let it go at that.
Blue Days?but Not Fair
"When Spring brings back blue days and fair,'v wrote Alan Seeger.
Blue rlays have come to the Kingdom of Eli, but they are not fair.
For the first time in her football history Yale is on the verge of
losing two years in -succession to both Princeton and Harvard. ,
In 1898 Princeton beat Yale 6 to 0 and Harvard won by 17 to 0. In
1899 Princeton beat Yale 11 to 10, but Yale held Harvard to a 0?0 draw. |
But if Yale wins or holds Harvard to a tie Saturday it will be only I
through the process of a miracle.
This present Yale team has very little football instinct. It is game
enough, but so is any other average football team. Gameness is no longer
an outstanding quality.
The One Slump Day
Not a leading eleven in the. East and only one or two anywhere else
; were able to win every game in the schedule last year.
i Nineteen-twenty is the same old story. Prim-eton, H/:r**ard, Pittsburgh,
. Penn State, four of the most powerful machines in the game, have all been
luid to tie games, although none of them has been beaten.
Two of the strongest teams that have Eulfered defeats are Dartmouth
- and Georgia Tech.
Dartmouth lost to Penn State in one of the season's best and closest
; games, and since that early overturn the Green machine has been a foot
; ball whirlwind.
Georgia Tech has lost only to Pittsburgh?that by the margin of one
; touchdown .nd since that defeat the Tech machine has smothered both
Centre and Georgetown.
Each eleven seems to be due one day when nothing breaks properly
and the machine refuses to work. Figure out Syracuse beating W. and J.
\ two touchdowns and then losing to Maryland!
Penn St^te and Pittsburgh
Penn State's margin was cut down heavily by her tie game with
Lehigh. And Pittsburgh has been forced to depend mainly upon the
brilliancy of Davies, her great halfback, to pull out several games.
Davies is one of the star backs of the country, always on hand with
; a life-saving dash when his team needs sudden help.
Either Penn State or Pitt must fade out Tranksgiving Day. The
winner can be bracketed with Princeton and Harvard at the Eastern top,
provided Harvard doesn't run into a Blue-tinted miracle.
But, after all, there will be no one eleven that has shown a winning
' superiority in every gaine played.
The one section that can produce a team will be the Western Con?
ference if Ohio State can manage to win from Illinois. Such a victory
1 would leave the Buckeye machine on top of the entire Conference mass,
undisputed king of the Conference domain.
Bill Roper has turned out one of the greatest Tiger teams in Nassau
history, and only a wonderful debater is going to be able to make any
; Princeton man believe this team could have been beaten by anybody on the
day of the Vale game, when the Tiger came to the crest of his stride.
Xavier's Double Victors
The Xavier High. School basketball

Post-Season Game Off
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Nov. 17.?At
v. meeting of the alumni advisory ath
li't'c committee to-day it was definitely
decided that Penn State would take
part in no post-season games this year
and that the contes.t with Pitt on
Thanksgiving Day would officially close
the season.
Regulars' Return
May Cause Shifts
In Fordham Team
Coach Joe Dumoe put his Fordham
football team through a strenuous
practice on a mud-soaked field yester?
day afternoon. He pitted the vr rsity
against the scrub eleven in a thirty
minute scrimmage, and, in spite of the
slippery ball and slopp: gridiron, the
backs showed up surprisingly well.
Thi heavy going mr.de open field
running practically impossible, and Ihe
varsity was forced to revert to the
straight football tactics which were
used to such good effect earlier in the
season. The regulars succeeded in rip?
ping big holes in the scrub line with?
out much difficulty.
The earlier part of the session was
devoted to signal practice, in which the
new set of plays which Fordham is de?
veloping for Holy Cross was thorough?
ly worked out. The practice was again
strictly secret, none hue players t.nd
coaches being admitted. ?
The line-up of the backfield for the
remainder of the season is still very
much in doubt. Steele's return dis?
places Noonan at quarterback, but an?
other position will be found for the
latter, as he is far too valu..ble a
player to be :?llowed to sit on the
bench. Ile may supplant Gately at
fuhback, or Dumoe may shift him tc
right end in place of Ryan.
Halloran also is ready to resume his
old position at left halfback. He alter'
nated at the post with Meyers yester?
day, an:) seemed to be in better fom:
I than ever.

Illinois Team
Once More in
Line for Title
Zuppke's Warriors Again
Face OHo State in the;
Final "Big Ten" Contest j
By Ray McCarthy
Harvard anu Yale, of course, will oc- :
cupy the center of the football stage j
Saturday?the headlines, the interest
et al; but out in the West or Middle ?
West, everybody is interested mainly ?
in the outcome of the Ohio State- j
Illinois game, which will be held at ,
Urbana, 111. The championship of the
Western Conference hinges on th<j out- ?
come of thi3 struggle, the final of the :
season between the two best elevens
:n the "Big Ten."
There are several incidents in con- j
nection with .he content that are of '
more than passing interest. For in
rtance, football history of 1919 is re
peating itself in the conference in that
Ohio Slate and Illinois rae again fight
ng.it out in the deciding contest.
Last year Ohio Stat? entered the:
"??ame against the Illini undefeated and '
the favorite. Bob Zuppke's.eleven had <
lost only one game, that 10 Wisconsin
by the score of 14 to 10, but it managed
to win fr^ni Ohio in the last few min?
utes o ' play by 9 to 7; and because it
bad /'''' and had 'won more games
than the Ohioans and had therefore,
the higher percentage figures Illinois
was accorded the championship.
Title in the Balance
Virtually the same condition exists
on the eve of this year's tussle. Ohio
State has not lost a game to date, hav?
ing won all four pi;.yod, while Illinois
has won four and lost one. Wisconsin
again beinc the eleven which tripped
the urbanit?s. What is mor?-, the score
by which Wisccnsin won tris year, 14
to 9, is within one point of last year's
tally. Thus Illinois can again win the
title by beating Ohio.
The. Illini for the past several years
have been the clc=-,s of the Western
circuit. I?+s record shows that it has
the edge on all other elevens in that
section since about 1913. Jack Wilce,
former Wisconsin star player, is the
coach of "Ohio, while Bob Zuppke. the
idol of all Illinois supporters, is also
a Wisconsin grrd, but never made the
team there, being considered too light.
Nobody, however, has ever accused tV is
successful coach of being light in the
head.
Ohio State will be the favorite again
Satur, ay. largely becaus? of its victory
over Michigan. In this issue the
01 ioans opened up a dazzling display
of forward passes and pn?l runs in the
last few minutes of play and won by
a sere of 11 to 7. Illinois, on the
i other hand, got a rather lucky win
ever Yost's crew, winning by 7 to 0. a
Michigan man failing to kick the goal.
However, Ohio got the same kind of
a verdict over Chiccgo, the score being
7 to 6, whereas, against Stagg's eleven.
; Illinois wen by a count of 3 to 0.
I Besides. Chicago, Illinois has beaten
I Iowa. Minnesota and Michigan and has
j lost to Wisconsin.
Crangle Star of Illinois
Victory for Ohio State on Saturday
j will give the Buckeyes a cle?r claim
j to tne title, but if Illinois wins and
j Wisconsin defeats Chicago, Illinois, in
having wop one more gam-- t'-.an its
opponents, will earn the championship.
Illinois has in . "Happy" Jack
Crangle one ol the best halfbacks in
Lhe country, a hard-running, heady.
'11 around player who is certain to
receive the unanimous' nomination for
; ih'j All-Western eleven. One advan?
tage the Urbanit?s have over the Buck
yes is that their eleven is virtually
i veteran team. Every player except
ITellstrom was a member of tho var?
sity last year. The team includes the
Fletcher brothers, Bob and Ralph.
The latter is a fine goal kicker.
Ohio also has a pair of brothers, the
Workmans, who are above the ordinary
as gridiron performers end who are
i specially adept with the forward pass.
In this respect Oh'O has it on 111 nois
rn Stinchcomb the Buckeyes have a
back nearly the equal of Crangle. who
has taken on where the wonderful
"Chick" Harley left off.
The game Satur,lay is certain t->
draw a record crow?!. It is figured
that more than 50.000 persons will b??
in attendance when the first whistle is
blown.

Williams Improves
Defense for F i n a 1
Game With Amherst
F"e-n a Special (\>i?f \pondent
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Nov. 17.
Williams is tuning up this week for
its last and most important gam? of
the season with Amherst, at Amherst
Saturday. The decisive victory over
Wcsleyan has given the Purple in?
creased confidence, but the varsity has
earned no rest. Coach Brooks is a '
ing his charges hard, giving chief v
: tention to defensive work.
The shift in tho Williams line whicV
placed Charlie Boyntcn at center and
Snjith at guard, tended to bolster the
defense against Wesleyan, but Hrooks
i re not quit? satisfied with this depart?
ment of the game despite the improve?
ment? shown. In scrimmage this week,
a large part of the practice has smo
tho sen bs in pi n of tlie ball,
with their strong backfield, composed
of varsity st bs, hammering the regular
line.
Few Williams m -n will remain her?
?Saturday, when the team takes the
1 field ; t An herst. 1 cations
! are that the entire stud nt body ?rill
be in the Purple che ring section,
rooting for Denny Boynton uni his
men. The college authorities have
^ not declared a holiday as ,
'might just as well, ?or the claw
? oon s will be empty.
