HINKEY ENFORCEs THE RULES.
InsIsts That Jumping On . Man who IL
Down Must Be Penniized.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Oct. o0.-The practice of
the past week has not tended TO advance the in
dividual play ers OF the Yale team. Capt.
Hinkey is still pursuing the plan adopted, when
play was first begun, OF shifting the men about
as much rs possible. and keeping the college
side as near as possible equal in strength with
that OF the varsity. McCrea has apparently
been dropped from the team, for the practice
play Of the week has found him on the college
side every day. while his place at guard has
been flied by either Chadwick or the younger
Hickok. 1t is said that Hefiehnger, during his
stay here last week, discovered the weak points
in McCrea. and. being unable to overcome them.
recommended that he be permanently retired.
1t is with the players on the left of the line,
between Stillman and himself. that Capt. Hinkey
IS having the most trouble. The positions OF left
guard and tackle are very poorly filled. and 1t Is
through this point that opposing teams have
thus far this season made their greatest gains.
Between Stlllman and Hinkey there is II hole
through which the backs ON all teams have
found an outlet for long runs. In the hope OF
discovering an available man, Dater Of the
varsity crew WAS induced to begin train
ing this week, and has been tried at
both positions Of guard and tackle.
Although a substitute on the team last year,
Dater seems to have lost his ambition for
honors on the football team, and what is true OF
most crew men Is also true OF nlIn- lie IS 100
