 Athletic interest at Yale mainly centers in football. For the past week McClung has been training the men in tackhng and kicking the ball, with short run and shower bath at the close. If it is the Yale spirit to be fearful of failure, those inter ested in football have this spirit fully in grained, However, the large number ofprem- ising players earnestly at work, ,is, indeed, a hopeful outlook. With the exception of | one good half alf-back-McClung, of course, will play the other-there are plenty of candidates. It is now known definitely l that Holoomb will not return to take his old place at center. Naturally, Paine '94, who rowed last year at New London, is thought of for the position on account of his size, and he seems to stand very good chance for it. Although he is entirely in experienced in football, he has shown earnestness and willingness to work to such degree that this will not seriously be much against him. Heffelfnger and Morrison will soon return to contest for their old positions.
 Heffelfnger, Paine and Morrison certain | ly ought to make triumvirate that will | withstand any rush line in the country. They will all have weight and muscle, which are two of the most essential re- l quirements for these positions, while Nor : l rison and Hefelfnger have both made | names for themselves on the football field. l McClung is deservedly a popular cap | tain. His crafty generalship, which MT. Casper w. Whitney of Harper's Weekly remarked upon when the eleven were asked to come to Newport about the middle of
 September to get two weeks practice be-
 fore college opened, his clever leadership
 is indicated more and more every day. Still Harvard is at work and the
 up last year will need but
 little practice to make formidable op- ponents. Harvard is doing less practic- l ing than Yale and did not begin so soon, I but, in view of the number of available
 men that trained for the eleven last year,
 this seems likely to be a good move, for
 in six or seven weeks our eleven can get in condition and will not lose the snap
 and vim that often attend long practicing.
 Princeton, it is rumored, is not 50 strong
 as she was last year. The rush line suf-
 fers most on account of the dearth of
 heavy men.
 The athletic team will begin training ! at the field this afternoon at 4 o'clock, at 1 which time all members of the university
 interested in track athletics, are requested
 to present themselves at the track in run
 ming clothes and are asked to have their
 names as soon as possible with w. B.
 Wright, jr., captain, at Dwight hall.
 The team this year will be under most
 competent instructor, Mr. W. c. Dole. Although most effort is generally de-
 voted to athletics, journalistic enterprises
 are equally alert at Yale. They, however,
 are not troubled with the proverbial mod
 esty of the gymnast and speak for them
 selves. The News is as newsy as ever and
 the literary journals announce early dates
 for their first issue. During last spring } cussed and now it is established on firm financial footing and has been promised
 hearty cooperation on the part of the
 alumni. The first issue is announced for ] October 1. Leading articles will be writ
 ten by member of the faculty and by ) Hon. w. E. Simonds, '66 L. s. The edi-
 tors of the Banner are also at work. They ) will probably profit by the dismal failure of last years edition and produce better
 work than it's predecessors in many par ticulars.
 H. u. W Ol, UuO CdpIdlu ol 1dSt ! years Mott Haven team and conductor ss track athletics at Chautau9ua, will have } charge of athletics att- SSiglar's Preparatory school for the coming year.
 AdaG2s '91, who was also at Chautauqus le:sG summer, will have charge of the Will
 Hams college gymnasium.
 '73 and '94 Shelf. will have their annual F rush this evening at corner of Edwards , and Orange streets in the Foote lot. LAST NIGHTS RECEPTION BY THE Y M
