whom several plays were directed, was perhaps the most seriously injured of any man in the game. He seemed to be the special mark of the crimson team and was stretched out on the field dozen times. any one of which was sufficient to kill a common man, but "Murph," as the boys call him, is not of the common stun. He has pluck enough for Roman gladiator. and af- ter his knock-outs he would rise again to the fray, and would not give up un- til he could no longer get up, when he was carried from the field on stretch CT. Chadwick took his place. Jerrems, one of Yale's pluckiest men, was so badly smashed up that he had to be taken from the field. His place was taken by Armstrong, captain of next springs crew.
 Butterworth, who has for some time been suffering from an injured eye, had the same eye so badly injured that he could not see. It is feared that he may lose 1t, although he himself thinks he will be able 10 play next Saturday. Murphy also thinks he can play in the Princeton game. His wonderful cour- age Is appreciated by his fellow stu dents, and he is mentioned as being sure of the captaincy of the team next year.
 Various reasons are advanced by foot ball experts as to the cause of the rough play, but nearly all of Yale's old coach es say that the new rules are the cause, since under them more individual play ing Is done, and the men consequently play harder and get more excited. Con- siderable money changed hands on the game, and 1t Is even said that Harvard men won the most of 1t, as they would not bet on the general result, but took all bets they could on Harvard's scor- ing.
 Following are the names of the diff ferent players of each team, with their respective positions:

 MURPHY IS ALL RIGHT-wILL PROBABLY
 PLAY AGAINST PRINCETON.
 Murphy, Yale's famous right. tackle, returned to New Haven last evening or the S:O4 express from Springfield, ap- parently in good condition. He was seen by Journal and Courier" report CT in his room, 63 West Divinity hall, where he was found reading and to all appearances in the best of health. He said that he had suffered no serious in- jury, but was just laid out for the time being by the collision with the Har- yard man. He will in all proba bility be in condition to play with Prince ton next Saturday. Hinkey was report ed last evening as having said that Rodgers would be put on in Murphy s place if the latter was unable to play Text Saturday.
 SENTIMENT AGAINST THANKSGIVING
 GAMEs-MAY BE NO PRINCETON CAME CANNOT CUT CHAPEL NEXT SUNDAY. There appears a strong sentiment among the faculty against any big ath- letic games being held on Thanksgiving day. The freshman football team is trying to arrange game with the Har- ward freshmen at Cambridge on that day on account of the Princeton game coming Saturday. One prominent pro- lessor is reported as saying that the faculty would rather give cuts to the whole freshman class on Friday than to have the game come on Thanksgiving day.
 The unexampled roughness of the game on Saturday has caused much serious talk among the students as tc what attitude the faculty would take towards athletics hereafter. A well
 known and prominent professor is quoted as saying that there was g strong probability that the faculty l would take some decided stand in the
 matter, and that there possibly might be no game with Princeton next week. A new rule has been passed that nc student will be allowed to take q church cut next Sunday. He must either be in New Haven or with his parents, from whom he must have let. ter stating that he spent Sunday at home.

 Trains and Who Occupied Them.
 For the first time since the Spring. field games were started the railroad accommodations were entirely adequate Saturday.
