CAPTAIN HINKEYs POLICY OF MAKING FIRE
QUENT CHANGEs-THE WORK OF THE
INDIVIDUAL. PLAYERS
New-Haven. Nov (SpeciaD.-All lovers OF foot
ball are watching the Yale eleven with a great
deal Of interest Some of the not playing
with anything Ike the skill that is considered
necessary. Captain Hinkey Is still pursuing the
plan adopted when play first began. Of shifting the
men about much possible. and keeping the
college side may be 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 the college side
every day. while his place guard has been filled
either by Chadwick the younger Hickok. II Is
said that Heffelfinger during his stay here last
week discovered the weak points In McCrea. and
being unable TO overcome them. recommended that
he be permanently retired.
II Is with the players the left OF the line be-
tween Stillman and himself. that Captain Hnkey
Is having the most trouble. The positions OF left
guard and tackle poorly flied and IL is through
this point that opposing teams have thus far this
season made their greatest gains. Between still
man and Hinkey there is hole through which the
backs on all teams have found outlet for long
runs In the hope of discovering available man.
Dater of the varsity crew. was induced 10 begin
training this week and has been tried at both posi-
tions OF guard and tackle. Although substitute
on the team last year Dater seems to have lost
what is true Of most crew men is also true Of him:
ne is too methodIcal in his work the gr.diron
and does not grasp situations quickly enough TO
make him available in the places which Hnkey is
trying FIJI. The other half OF the line seems
70 be working TO the satisfaction OF al Interested
and IL Is pretty safe TO predict that Greenway Muir
ply and Hckok will form the right flank Of Yae's
line in the game with Harvard. These men. with
Stman at centre are playing together every day
and are as good to-day they were year ago when
they entered the Harvard game at Springfield
stiman is far better. and being assured OF his
position. Is training easily and playing conndent
game every day of the week.
On the other side Of Stillman. however. Captain
Hnkey Is the only player. With all his old
agility he has added several new moves which me
changes In the rules have brought out, one favor
ite play OF his being to follow the bail down the led
on the kickoff or al any other tune wnen occasion ,
ground when the bail strikes and has made many
gains by falling on the pigskin when fumDied by
