Football.

The practice yesterday was longer and harder than usual. The first and second elevens were very nearly matched in strength, and the second eleven held the first on downs several times.

Before the two teams lined up a new method of interference was practiced by the 'varsity. The various positions of the men were carefully explained and each man was assigned to block off his special player.

In the game, the new method worked very successfully when the formation was maintained, and when the men get accustomed to working together it will doubtless make a very strong interference.

Ex-Captain Waters joined the squad yesterday for the first time. He did not do any actual playing, but coached the second eleven vigorously. He has begun exercising and will play in the line in a day or two.

Emmons put on his suit again yesterday but did not play in the line. He still is slightly lame and will not endanger his ankle as yet. Manahan and Arthur Brewer were also on the field in their suits. The injury to Brewer's face is not so severe as was thought last Saturday.

The sixth serious accident to Harvard's players came yesterday when Richardson, who has been a strong candidate for end, broke his collar bone. Weld, who has been playing fullback for the second eleven, was also carried off the field with a wrenched knee.

The 'varsity succeeded in making three touchdowns during the twenty minutes the game lasted. The playing was very uncertain. At times the 'varsity would gain fifteen or twenty yards by a compact interference, and again their backs would be downed with loss. This was due to the fact that each player does not yet understand his part in the work of blocking off. This fault can be done away with only by practice.

The elevens were made up as follows:

FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN.

Richardson (Moulton), l.e. r.e., Newell.

Hallowell (Teele), l.t. r.t., Wheeler.

Murchie, l.g. r.g., Hoague.

F. Shaw, c. c., Doucette.

J. N. Shaw, r.g. l.g., Hennen.

Gould, r.t. l.t., Teele (Holmes).

Hartwell, r.e. l.e., Sever.

Foster (Wrenn), q.b. q.b., Fairchild (Borden).

Hayes (Hamlen), h.b. h.b., Jackson.

Brown (Phelan), h.b. h.b., Gierasch.

Dunlop, f.b. f.b., Weld (Arnold).

Ninety-Five, 6; C. H. & L., 6.The seniors played the Cambridge High and Latin School eleven on Soldiers Field yesterday to a tie, 6-6.

Ninety-five was very weak in contrast to their game on Saturday. The Cambridge men were strong in their interference on round-the-end plays and worked together well.

Freshman Football.The outlook for a good ninety-eight football eleven grows brighter every week. The new system of developing material has proved a great success and now only the best of the candidates remain with the squad. The number of men has been reduced to two elevens and the coaches are now busily engaged in perfecting their team work. The greatest fault the men have lies in their slowness and in their inability to follow the ball. The centre men are especially poor in these particulars. At present the rush line is very weak and a good deal of coaching will be required to bring it into proper form. The men are large and strong and will doubtless improve greatly with experience. The line will also be strengthened by the addition of several 'varsity men who will join the freshman squad later in the week.

The team will be especially strong in its positions behind the line. Rand, Hardenbrook, Flint, Hincke, Redpath, and Cabot show up very well at halfback, while Captain Scott, Valentine, Hayes and Goodrich are good candidates for quarterback.

Nearly all of the men have played on some preparatory school eleven and this experience, together with the work they are doing here, ought to make their chances against the Yale freshmen seem very encouraging.

Harvard-Yale Game.[N. E. Associated Press.]

SPRINGFIELD, MASS., Oct. 15. - Manager Moore of the Harvard Football Association was in the city today and engaged Hampden Park for the football game with Yale, Saturday, November 24. This settles the question of a change of date.

Princeton, 12; U. of Virginia, 0.[N. E. Associated Press.]

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15. - In spite of her great advantage in weight, Princeton today could only score twelve against the University of Virginia, and was unable to score at all in the last half. Her heavy tackles and guards repeatedly made openings for the backs, but her long gains were made around left end.
