CAPTAIN PENDLETON RESTS

Other Princeton Regulars Given Three-Hour Drill Yesterday.

Princeton, N. J., October 30, 1912.--The football team was put through a hard program today, being kept on the field almost three hours. First came a scrimmage with the scrubs lasting about 45 minutes, during which the Varsity was kept entirely on the defensive. Though the Varsity's tackling was still far from perfect, and the work of the ends poor, there was noticeable improvement in the line. The scrubs could make no steady gains, their plunges being repeatedly thrown back. They scored once, however, when a thirty-yard end run by Hammond brought the ball to the one-yard line, and a rush by Thompson, the former all-Western star, carried it across.

This was followed by a thirty-minute practice with the freshmen, the Varsity's offence being thoroughly tested. Two touchdowns were made on straight line plunges. In both cases, the ball was taken by Waller, who is still showing prowess as a ground-gainer; once, he got away for a thirty-yard run.

There were many changes over yesterday's line-up, especially in the backfield. Pendleton and S. Baker were given complete rests. Andrews was tried out at left end in place of Streit; neither man's work, however, shows any improvement.

The line-up was as follows: Andrews, l.e.; Phillips, l.t.; Shenk, l.g.; Bluethenthal, c.; Logan, r.g.; Penfield, r.t.; Dunlap, r.e.; Emmons, q.b.; H. Baker, l.h.b.; Waller, r.h.b.; De Witt, f.b.
