YALES FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE PRAC-
 TICE GAME YESTERDAY.


 The Yale Eleven win Go Springfield Fii-
 day Afternoon-H eadqusrters to be at tho Y. M. c. A, as Usuai-some Points on the Yaie Players,
 The gates of the Yale field were thrown open again yesterday afternoon to those who wished to watch the prac- tice and another large crowd turned out to observe the play of the eleven. It was the last work which will be done before the team lines up against Har- yard at Springfield. This afternoon the men will go out to the field and do some sprinting, but no regular prac- tice game will be played. t
 Thursday afternoon and Friday morn- ing will be given up to light exercise such as passing, kicking, bunting and working of the signals. On Friday af- ternoon both elevens will go to Spring field. Both Harvard and Yale will travel in private trains, and 1t is the intention of both elevens to take their full culinary department with them. This will be done, because past ex- perience has shown that the change of diet, especially in the matter of drink ing water, is very apt to alter the physical condition of the men.
 Yale will make her headquarters at the Christian association, as she has in the past, and Harvard will be quar- tered in her customary boarding house.
 A press dispatch from Springfield yesterday, says: Tickets for the Yale Harvard football game are selling fast. The sale thus far has been confined to the $1.50 seats in the end section of the Yale Harvard grand stands and the $1 seats on the two south sides. It is believed by the management that there will be enough of these to satisfy the local demands. The seats in other parts of the field have been sold in the different cities to which they have been apportioned. The sale will be continued throughout the week by Manager White. The work at the park on the immense grand stand and field is progressing faYorably. Everything is we'll advanced towards completion. The contractors have received a number of serious setbacks by the weather, but have large force of men on the grounds daily and are thus able to make up for lost time. The gates have been made much wider and 1t is hoped will prevent the disagreeable crowding of previous years. A new system of selling tickets has been devised, which will undoubtedly facilitate matters greatly. A,.f..'''.
 Much promiscuous criticism has been passed upon the Yale team of late. Here is the opinion of two men who are closely connected with Yale ath- letics on the blues eleven, as given in the New York Evening Sun last night:
 While Captain Hinkey has had many difficult obstacles with which to con tend, especially in the apparent ab- solute lack of available new material, and while through some unfortunate actions on his part severe criticism has, justly or .unjustly, been, hurled at him, it is nevertheless our opinioni that the game will show that he has contended successfully against it all. We believe and this is the privately expressed opinion of the coaches-that he will lead upon the field at Springfield an eleven which will prove to be one of the strongest Yale has had in recent years. We believe that the work done by the eleven in that game will be a surprise to many who have not seen s,,. vo1o take the men up Individuality:
 "Hinkey is certainly, with the possible exception of Kid Wallace, the best end that Yale has ever had. His defensive work is almost perfect, an opposing back hardly ever getting around his end, and in getting down on kick he is almost as quick as Wallace used to be. If he would learn to use his voice little more, however, 1t would be better, for one of Wallace's most effec- tive plays was the warhoop he let out just as the full back was about to catch punt.
 "A full back who was not thoroughly accustomed to the yell would frequently be so startled as to miss his play. Beard, who plays left tackle, is also very strong man. He did fine work last year, and under the skillful coaching of Rhodes he has improved greatly this season. We shall be greatly surprised if the Harvard rushers find any hole in his part of the line.
 "McCrea, the left guard, has not it must be confessed, shown up remark ably strong in the past. The last two weeks have, however. brought him out better than anyone had anticipated, and if he keeps up the style of play which he has evinced in the recent practice games he will be a pretty tough subject for his opponents to toy with. Stillman at center and Hickok at right guard are the two weakest men on the team Both of them are slow, and Stillman is very apt to lose his head at critical moment, Neither of them is good in making holes for the backs. Harvard's best gains should be through that side of the center. Murphy is putting up a fine game alright tackle. His defensive work lis excellent, and hesis one of the best in breaking through the line. withdrawal from right end will, of course, be felt but those who as- sume that the Harvard rlshers are go- ing to have . picnfc with his former end are greatly mistaken.
 Young Hinkey is, to be sure, a pretty light man, but many of the best ends in past years have not had great weight. He is remarkably quick, and
