...arrangements for the Army and Navy football game have now been pretty well completed. For bringing the crowds to Princeton, the Pennsylvania Railroad has built eleven new terminal tracks, in addition to the nine tracks already laid below Brokaw Field. Immediately after the game, special trains will depart as fast as they are filled, the increased accommodations providing for the transportation of as many as 12,000 passengers at one time. Luncheon will be served in the old and new gymnasiums, as well as on the first floor of University Hall and there will also be two tents dispensing handy...
...University eleven had its last signal practice yesterday afternoon on the Tedesco golf links at Marblehead. This work lasted half an hour and was as fast and lively as that on Thursday. In the punting practice, which followed Burr made some especially good kicks. All the backs caught the ball well, there being not a single fumble. The line up of the University eleven was the same that will start in the game today. After this the substitutes also ran through signals. Their line-up was: l.e., Bartels, Pruyn: l.t., Montgomery, Spear: l.g. Peirce: c., White, Barney: r.g., McFadon, McLeod...
Great reliance is placed in a versatile ground-gaining set of backs. Veeder, at left halfback, although inclined to be slow in starting, is strong on the defense, keeps his feet well and follows his interference. He is also a very reliable punter. Morse and Roome are both fast half-backs. Morse is a hard line plunger, and Roome is especially useful in helping along the runner. Levine and Flinn are powerful fullbacks, but the latter's defensive game is rather weak. Hutchinson and Jones both use good generalship and get the plays off fast. Jones is best on running...
Shevlin and Cates are both fast ends. They get down well under punts and are sure tackles. Biglow at tackle lacks experience, but follows the ball well and is good on interference. Forbes on the left side of the line is quick in breaking through and is a reliable ground-gainer. Of the guards, Tripp plays well under all conditions and is generally sure of short gains when running with the ball. Erwin and Hockenberger are also strong guards. At centre Flanders is steady and passes with accuracy...
...scrimmage yesterday afternoon and the defense made a strong showing. The second team was given the ball three times on the 15-yard line and every time was met by a solid resistance against which it was impossible to gain. The offense was also stronger, the men starting fast and together. The interference was more effective and the team play was noticeably better than at any time since the week before the Pennsylvania game. In the 13-minute scrimmage the first eleven made two touchdowns by hard rushing and consistent gains. Later the substitutes also lined up against the second...
