HEFFELFINGER PRACTISING.
Yale VIII Meet the Other Colleges with .
strong Team.

New HAVEN, Oct 2O.-The practice OF the
Yale football team of the past week has done
more toward developing the university players
than all the work done earlier In the season.
When the final makeup of the team comes there
will probably be some new faces in the rush line.
In place of the veterans of last years battles

the rush line. The presence of Heffelfnger,
daily playing on the college side and entering
the contests with the same spirit that charac-
terized his work when in college. has done much
to bring about the dash and snap in the play
to-day rs compared with the lstless practice Of
week ago.

home last sunday, heads the list. He is rathera

He has also developed habit OF falling on the
