- CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. ia
heavy rain last night turned Soldiers
Field into lake, and the football team
went through signal practice indoors
| When the rain ceased, soon after noon
a force Of men was put to work scoop
| ing out the puddles, and their efforts
aided by high wind, improved the
| grounds. At $50 o'clock the Harvard
| eleven and the substitutes trotted out
on the slushy ground, but the prac-
| tice was limited to catching and re-
turning the ball on the kickoff After
ten minutes of this work the men went
out on one of the practice fields where
the ground was harder and went
through signals for ten minutes The
| men were spared perceptibly on &C
count of the sloppy condition of the
field, and there was no effort to prac-
tice sharply.
The lineup was as follows and will
probably be the same tomorrow: Cabot,
left end; Swain, left tackle; Bouve, left
guard; Doucette, center; Haskell, right
guard; Donald, right tackle; Moulton,
right end; Garrison, quarterback; DID
blee, left halfback; Warren, right half
back; Haughton, fullback. All of the
men in the regular makeup seemed
full of ginger and good condition.
BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 12-The Yale
university football team reached Bos-
ton this evening. The football party
numbered fifty-six. OF this number
forty-four were players and substi-
tutes. The following coachers accom-
panied the team: Walter Camp, Frank
oI1ly in1y I nc,
Hinkey and G. Foster Sanford. The
football train was a long one and was
heavily loaded with Yale Students.
The players tumbled out Of the cars,
and, entering carriages, were driven
to the Vendome. The squad presented
a striking appearance. The men are
all sizeable, and there is no doubt that
every man Of them is in splendid con-
dition.
After dinner the players lounged
about the corridors, chatted and whiled
away the time until shortly after 8
o'clock, when they went to their rooms
BY 10 o'clock the whole squad had re-
tired for the last nights rest before
the great contest with Harvard at Sol
diers' field tomorrow
As regards Yale's chances for victo-
ry, there is little to be said Capt
Rodgers and his cOachers refused to
talk for publication on that score. They
admit the men are in fine condition
physically, that their spirits are good
and that they are prepared to fight
the hardest kind of a battle. In spite
of the fact that the Yale men are not
loquacious, however, it is not difficult
to see that the New Haven collegians
are not worrying.
Quietly, considerable betting was
done. Yale's sports had plenty of mon
ey with them, and they looked COR and
found considerable at even figures
Capt. Rodgers admitted officially that
Corwin would take the place of Dud-
ley, who was called home by the death
Of his mother. The Yale contingent
the team not included, claims Yale
victory tonight, but every one is look
ing for the most fiercely fought contest
of the year.
The Yale team will probably line up
in tomorrow's game as follows: Hazen,
left end; Rodgers (captain), left tackle;
Marshall, left guard; Cadwallader, CEN
ter; Brown, right guard; Chamberlain,
right tackle; Hall, right end; De Saul
les, quarterback; Benjamin, right half
back; CorWin, left halfback; Mcbride,
fullback.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE rush of
football enthusiasts from this city to
Boston to see the Yale Harvard game
was unprecedented. All trains from
the Grand Central depot for that city
were crowded to their utmost capacity
