Rev. DIR. Schauffier of New York, will de-
liver lecture in Dwight Hall on Monday
eds p. M, taking for a subject "What
saw In the east end of London" The leo
ture is open to all members of the university
and is the first of . series to be given this
year. The course Of lectures given last year
was we'll attended and proved very
profitable. AL those who heard Or. Sohauf-
fer last year In his lecture on the slums of
New York. illustrated by stereopticon views,
remember him as very interesting speaker,
we'll worth hearing.
Prof. Weir leotured to an audience of
about forty In the Art school yesterday af-
ternoon, on the renaissance period of Italian
art. The lecture, which was illustrated by
stsreopticon views, proved interesting. 1t
was shown how art developed from the thir-
tenth to the fifteenth century III Florence.
A marked improvement was made in the
lines and composition of art, the formality
and stiffness of draperies and figures giving
way to elegance and beauty. A good ex-
ponent OF architectural art at that time was
the tower built by Florence, after the design
of Giotto, at a cost of So, 100000. The dome
of the cathedral at Florence, built In the
middle Of the fifteenth century, was the
| model from which st. Peters at Rome was
copied. Giberti was the most famous Of
that period. His designs SURPRISING his six
competitors, he was given the contract to
| construct the massive bronze doors In the
Baptiste building. The Art school possesses
| o very fine cast Of one set of these doors.
The doors weighed nearly two tons and con-
tain twenty-four or more small panels.
Each panel has representation In has re
lief of biblical history, no other panels being
alike. Prof. Weir will lecture next Friday
| on lines.
The university chamber concerts will be
given this year for the third season. The
series will be given in North Sheffield hall
during the winter of 1SS9-90. The music
| will be of the same order as during the last
| two seasons. Efforts are being made to pro-
cure the Kneisel qusrtette of Boston and the
Beethoven quarteete of New York, in addi-
tiop to piano recital. Six concerts are ex-
pected, but the number depends on the num-

may be secured by present or past members
of the university, at the treasury building or
at the Yale CO operative store, at two dollars
q ticket. The maximum of tickets to be
Issued is placed at 375.
The Yale team will play Wesleyan this af-
ternoon on the latter's grounds. The make
mp will be left end, Moyle '9l; left-tackle,
HeywortR90S left. guard, Heffelfnger 9lS
center, Hanson go; right guard, Newell 80;
right tackle. Adams '91S right end. Town
| send 81; ouarter-b back, Il. Graves '92; half
backs, McClung '91 and Bliss '92; full-back,
8. B. Morrison 81. Captain Gill, together
with Wurtenberg, Mcbride, Hartwell, Rhodes,
Ferris and Stagg, will go to Cambridge to-
day to see the great Decentralization game.
1t will be surprising If these men should not
learn some points from this game which will
better enable them to win the games from
Harvard and Princeton.
For the last two days only members of the
university or friends Of the members were
allowed to enter the Yale Field. This has
been done by Captain Gill so that he can
work the tricks with his team under sys-
tenn of signals, which it Is highly important
to keep secret from Yale's opponents. Next
week still strioter system will be put into
effect. Guards will be placed about the field
and none but undergraduates of the univer-
sity will be allowed to watch the team prac-
tics. The team expects to put in some of
l
| Yale team next week.
A large number of Yale men will attend
the Harvard-Princeton game to-day. The
feeling among students here is that Princeton
will win with safe score. Princeton will
| put into the field very stong team. Dom
nelly, the left end rusher, weighs 155 pounds,
has had the experience of several seasons
with the Media football team, plays an ag-
gressive game and is a fine tackle. He is q
first rate player. Cowan, who will face
Rhodes on Thanksgiving day, as ne did
last year, needs but his name to
be mentioned, for it carries with it
all the qualities Of frss-class
football player. Riggs has developed into a
very good player, although at the beginning
for the petition of left guard. Symmes as
center is not as good as the veteran George,
who would have played had not the resolu-
tions been passed by the advisory committee.
However, he is q good match for Harvard's
heavy center. Janeway, who plays right
head for football. He is hard worker and
can make a good hole IN the rush line for
Charming to slide through. He played
York against Yale. Warren and Woods
for right tackle and right end respectively,
| are not below the standard of the other
players aud will play O strong game. Poe,
| quarterback and captain, although this is
his first year on the Princeton team, is a very
active player, lsvel.headed, and a fine rum
ner. Charming and Black are both fine half
backs. Ames, as full baclr, is a fine tackler,
fast runner, and punts wonderfully. He is
| apt to lose his head In crises, however, and
often makes mistakes in the signals. If he
keeps cool 1t will be hard for Trahord to out
kick him.
Harvard puts a strong rush line in the
field, but is weaker than Princeton back of
the line. Cumnock (captain), left end, plays
with snap and energy. He is a hard man to
block and tackles we'll. He has good deal
to attend to, however, and cannot play as
good game In that position as If he were
not captain. Blanchard and Cranston are
heavy men and succeed in making good holes
for the half-backs on the left side of the
rush line. Tilton, the center, is a
tower of strength, weighs 1876 pounds
and is an exceedingly hard man
to block. Trafford, right guard, is an
old player. He has had experience and is
considered fine guard In every respect.
Stickney, right-tackle, and Crosby, right
end, are pretty fair players, but 1t is doubt
full whether they are better than those who
will face them to-day. Dean, quarterback,
is considered to be the finest that Harvard
has had for several years. Lee, half back, is
the fastest runner; nothing extra at lodging,
and gives up quickly when tackled. Fearing,
| the other half-back, 10 good dodger
and takes advantage of every opportunity.
Both men, however, have been fumbling in
practise lately. Trafford, as full-back, punts
we'll and kicks goals from the field at a good
distance. There promises to be some punt
ing back and forth between Trafford and
Ames, and it is doubtful which will gain by
1t. The result Of the game depends on the
| team work, as the men individually are evenly
matched. Princeton seems to have the adj
vantage in this respect, and victory for the
crimson will be surprise to most all Yale
men.
