YALE AND HARVARD WORKING HARD FOR BIG GRIDIRON STRUGGLE OF YEAR
CENTRAL AFTER
STEELTON GAME
Play Here Saturday; Teams
Working Hard; Academy
Meets Gettysburg
Coaches Smith and Harris of the
Central High school team are working
the players hard to get them into
shape for the big .game with Steelton
on the Island on Saturday and the
Karae with Tech, Thanksgiving Day.
Light practice was held yesterday
for the first time since the Reading
game, Saturday. This afternoon the
team and scrubs were put through
grinding drills in all branches of the
game, punting, receiving, forward
passing, line work, both offensive and
defensive. Every effort will be made
to have Central close the season with
two more victories. Only one defeat
has been scored against the Harris
burg team this year, Lancaster doing
the trick by a 7 to 0 score in the first
game of the year.
The Lancaster boys themselves say
that they would not be able to defeat
the Central team now. Coach Tag
gart at Steelton is keeping his plans
under cover, and will bring a strong
team to Harrisburg on Saturday.
Plays of all sorts are being worked
out on Cottage Hill field this week,
Coach Taggart working- up the weak
spots in the team. Both Steelton and
Central will in all probability start
the game with the regular line-up, al
though the lower end boys will not
have Dayhoff on the field.
At the Academy
At the. Academy field, Coach Talein
is out every day with the team work
ing them hard for the Gettysburg
Academy game on Saturday, which j
will be the last one of the season. The
Academy eleven is after another vic
tory a tthe expense of the battlefield
team. '
The Academy will send in the
regular line-up keeping several well
developed substitutes in reserve in
rase of injuries to any of the regulars.
Coach Tatem's team has suffered only
one defeat this year. Wenonah
Academy taking them into camp 13
to 0. All of the other games were
won by score ranging from 19-0 to
72-0.

E. N. Mayer, familiarly known to
his fellow collegians at the University
of Virginia as "Buck," is one of the
best halfbacks in the business, and
because of his remarkable playing
against Yale in the game which Vir
ginia won by a 10 to 0 score, may land
a job on some expert's All-Anicrican
eleven.
Ma.ver has been playing at Virginia
for four years and will receive his de
gree as bachelor of law next Spring.
He is 23 years old. and weighs 170
pounds. He plays left halfback.
In 1914 Mayer made more points
than any other football player in the
East. He personally scored 121
points, 102 of these came from 17
touchdowns which he made. He was
captain of the 1914 Virginia team and
All-Southern halfback. Jn the Thanks
giving day game with North Carolina
last year lie made all the points
scored by Virginia in their 20 to 3
victory. I,ast year in the Virginia-
Yale game, Virginia gained more
ground against the Elis than any
other team save Harvard. Half of
this ground was gained by Mayer.
This year he has accumulated more
than 90 points. In the game with
Vanderbilt on November 6, Mayer
made two touchdowns, sprinting fifty
yards through the entire Vanderbilt
team for one of them. He ie ono of
the fastest halfbacks and best line
plungers seen on an eastern gridiron
this year.
His accomplishments are not re
stricted to the gridiron. He has a
record of 10 1-5 seconds for the hun
dred yard dash and has made it in 10
flat unofficially. He puts t>ie shot 42
feet 3 inches, can do 22 feet 9 inches
in the broad jump and 5 feet 8 inches

BLUE AND C
WORK HARD FOR
. SATURDAY CLASH
Shevlin's "Ineligibles" Hammer Old Eli and Score Four
Touchdowns; Guernsey Continues His Great Drop-
Kicking; Harvard Shifts Initial Line-up, Putting
Cowen in Taylor's Place at Guard
Yale and Harvard are hard at it getting ready for the big battle
of the year on Saturday. The Crimson is "doped" as the winner, but
the Bulldog has set his jaw—and besides there's a rather fair field
goal kicker on Old Eli's eleven.
Cambridge, Mass. .Nov. 17.—Har
vard usually goes lightly In football
during the week preceding the Yale
game, but yesterday afternoon there
was plenty of action in the Stadium.
The 'Varsity team spent more than
an hour on its running plays and on
defensive aslgnments against the sub
stitute layout, and then went Into a
ten-minute scrimmage against the
coaches, seven of whom lined them
selve up against the men they are
whipping Into trim for Harvard's final
game.
The coaches after long consideration
of the needs of the Yale game, have
decided to make a shift in the initial
line-up. They will not start Taylor at
guard, but will put Cowen, a three
year veteran in his place. Taylor
surely will get into the game, but as
Yale is expected to be particularly
aggressive Saturday, Cowen is believed
to be the man to stand the gaff for a
time. He is not as shirty a lineman
as Taylor, but is heavier and stronger
on straightaway work.
Soucy at left end will be beside Gil
man and Dadinan will be on the left
side of center. Cowden, Parson and
Harte will make up the right wing,
but there is still a chance that Oilman
will be put over inside of Harte on
Saturday. Boles was in the back field
with Mahan and King to-day, but En
wright worked with the subtitute and
there is more than an even chance
that he will start the gamo on Satur
day.

1/vbaiinit Valley—Annville, Pa., Nov.
J 7• —Coach Guyer ordered his Leba
non Valley squad to report early on
Annville Field this afternoon as he
wished to spend the greater part of
the day correcting errors noticed in
Saturday's game. Coach Guyer has
divided his charges into two groups.
Captain Swartz ran the backfield men
through a forward pass and punting
practice, while Guyer gave his line
men a workout in line charging. The
varsity and scrub teams were then
chosen. All of the regulars were in
their positions with the exception of
Keating, who Is out on account of an
injury. Van Campen went to quarter
back. Fullback Mackert called sig
nals.
Dickinson —Carlisle, Fa., Nov. 17.
—The Dickinson College varsity eleven
was put through a liard scrimmage
this afternoon on Biddle Field. Palm
called signals from the fullback posi
tion while Dalton played quarter. The
first string backs tore their way
through the line time after time.
Gettysburg—Gettysburg, Nov. 17.
The Gettysburg team indulged in only
a light workout yesterday, nothing
more than signal drill being attempt
ed. Most of the regulars were ex
cused, as nearly every man in the
entire squad who participated In the
Bucknell game Saturday received
minor Injuries of some nature. Get
tysburg's only hope of finishing strong
depends upon the Thanksgiving day
game in Lancaster. The result of last
year's game with Franklin and Mar
shall is fresh in the minds of the
local followers, and they have hopes
of the team showing real comeback
form, which was demonstrated in that
game. LeVine, who played in his
first college game Saturday, showed
up well, and will make a strong bid
for one of the backfield positions. His
tackling and punting were first class.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
| New Haven, Conn., Nov. 17.—Cap
tain Wilson's Yale eleven got a bat
tering at the hands of a Shevlin picked
team of ineligible players yesterday
afternoon, which will stand them In
good stead In the Harvard game. For
twenty minutes the Yale scrub ham
mered away at the 'Varsity line and
scored four touchdowns. No track
was kept of the first downs, as the
melee was intended merely to give
the Yale forwards, regulars and sub
stitutes, a taste of real work before
they meet the Crimson.
"Mai" Scovll sustained a bump in
the head during the scrimmage, but
said he was all right after the prac
tice. He was removed from the play
after his Injury. To-day was Scovii's
first chance in scrimmage In ten days.
He is in good shape to play in the Har
vard game and will probably alternate
with Guernsey. There were no other
injuries yesterday. Guernsey con
tinued his excellent showing as a
drop-kicker this afternoon in the
kicking practice. Directed by Dr. Wil
liam T. Bull he sent more than 70 per
cent, of his kicks from varying angles
on the 40-yard line. If he gets off
his tries in the Harvard game as he
did this afternoon, the Harvard for
wards will have to break through
quickly to hurry htm.
liuckncll.—Lewlsburg, Pa., Nov. 17.
—Bucknell players were given lively
work to-day. Only one player who
started in the Gettysburg game last
Saturday will be unable to take his
place in the scrimmage work this
week. He is Mangan, who played
such a brilliant game at Harrisburg.
Several players, who have not been in
practice for several weks, were fit
to start scrimmage work to-day. They
are Yarnell and Banks, varsity ends,
and Pelton and White, guard and
tackle. These players have not been
in a varsity game for over two weeks.
The coaches expect to give the war
riors but little scrimmage work this
week and the last scrimmage prac
tice of the season on the local campus
Avill be held next Monday.
Indians— Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 17 —The
Carlisle Indian varsity players re
ported on Indian Field this afternoon
and were given various exercises that
necessitated the handling of the pig
skin in order to overcome the ten
dency of fumbling, which has been in
evidence in every game played so far
this season. Every player reported
in good condition with the exception
of Fred Broker, who is troubled with
boils and a bad knee.
Villatiova- —Villanova, Pa., Nov. 17.
—Practice for the Fordham game
was begun in earnest this afternoon.
The chief feature of the day's work
was a half hour's scrimmage be
tween the varsity and scrub elevens.
The first eleven tried out a good many
forward pass plays, but the scrubs
showed unusually good form in break
ing them up. Fogarty and McGee
han, playing end and tackle for the
scrubs, put up a fine game on the de
fensive. All the members of the
squad were out yesterday, with the
exception of Conway, who is still in
disposed. His wrist is still weak, but
he will be out to-day.

NUMBER 13 IS
TECH'S HOODOO
Maroon and Gray's Chances
For Victory Grow Slimmer
and Slimmer
The number 13 seems to be a hoo
doo for Coach Whitney's Tech High
football eleven. The Maroon and
Gray team not only lost to Lancaster
on the 13th by a 13 score, but. also
were deefated in the Easton and sec
ond Steelton games when 13 points
were tallied by those teams.
Following the 13 hoodoo, Carter
Wier, tackle and back on the Tech
I team broke his right collar bone for
the second time this season, in the
scrimmage against the scrubs last
evening. Coach Whitney was de
pending upon this player to fill in the
gap in the back field in place of
Philippelli who handed in his suit last
Friday. Philippelli became peeved
when asked to play on the line for
the remainder of the seaon, instead
of at full back. He is considered the
strongest defensive player on the
squad, but has been weak on the of
fensive.
In fact the entire team is weak In
the scoring line, but has shown Just
as strong when it comes to the de
fensive same. Not more than 13
points have l>een scored by any team
this season against the Maroon eleven.
With a little more punch the Tech
team would win more of its contests.
With Philippelli, Wier and Britch
out of the back field, the scoring
problem becomes more difficult than
before the lesens Tech's chances for
winning on Thanksgiving. The entire
Tech squad was taken by auto to-day
to New Bloomfield, where a return
practice game was played with the
academy team of that place. * Coach
Whitney will try out all his new plays
to be used against. Allentown at that
place Saturday. Last week Easton
and Allentown Highs were dead
locked in a 0-0 score, which indicates
that the local eleven will have an
other hard contest.

Ohio State University. at« Columbus,
Ohio, is real proud of A. H. Winters,
the star halfback on the football team.
Winters, praetieallv single handed, or
single footed, won two games for
Ohio State this year. His 33-yard
kick from placement was responsible
for the tie with Illinois and a like
kick from the 30-yard line gave Ohio
State a 10 to 9 victory over In

Experience in the past has demon
strated that there are any number of
cases in the city which would be real
opportunities for service at the hands
of the society, were it not for the
natural and commendable pride that
refuses to accept charity, if it is ob
viously charity. The Friendly Work

NOVEMBER 17, 1915.
NAVY EXPECTS TO
DEFEAT ARMY
West Pointers Keep on a-Plug
gingfcor Game at Polo
Grounds
Annapolis, Nov. 17. There Is
nothing forced about the confidence
with which the midshipmen and other
members of the naval contingent here
await the outcome of the football
game on November 27 at the New
York Polo Grounds between the rep
resentatives of the service schoois.
Admitting that West Point has much
the better record for the season and
should be the undoubted favorite, It
is still believed here that the Navy
team will enter the game with a good,
even chance to win. This opinion is
based upon several grounds. Chief
among these is that the Navy team has
shown Dashes of excellent football
during the season and that it can and
will be made to play this kind of foot
ball for all the game. Further, it is
believed that the full strength of this
year's team will never be developed
until the day of the game against the
soldiers.
West Point, N. Y„ Nov. 17.—Coffin
was back in his former berth at full
back yesterday, while Gerhardt was
used to drive the big team in its
hour's hard scrimmage against the
scrubs. The Varsity scored twice, and
so did the scrubs. The latter used
Navy formations and made the regu
lars hustle throughout. Ford and
Neyland were both in togs to-day.
Ford was used sparingly In the rough
work, while Neyland got only light
passing and signal drill. Redtield wasi
at one end, with Tully and Britton al
ternating at the other. At guard.
Knight was used again In O'Hare's
place, and Parker was In for Jones at
tackle. McEwan did not report until
late, and Goodman worked for a good
part of the afternoon at center. The
drill was stiff and several of the Var
sity men were sent to the side lines
suffering from bruises.
