YALE MEN HOPEFUL.
The Varsity Eleven In Good Shape for satur.
days Game With Harvard.

New Haven. CT. Nov. S.-The Yale
university foot ball. this afternoon. be-
gan the process of closing up its ranks
preparatory TO the great contest with
Harvard at Cambridge. Saturday.
From 215 until o'clock. the practice
was of the star chamber order and
from 3 until $50. spectators were ad-
mitted. This afternoon, the Yale
policy was made apparent. The round
ing up of the IL men. who will compete
in the two big games, was begun and it
was not difficult to see that the course
of Yale's coachers has been productive
of results.
Early in the season, it was decided
that Yale foot ball must undergo COM
plete reconstruction and lines for ac-
ton were drawn which had for their
limit the establishment of Yale's
impregnable defence. The whole uni
versity has gone over and every avail
able man has been called out. Today.
Yale has little army of men, all of
whom are good foot ball players. The
best II men have been picked and hope
of victory is by no means abandoned.
The team development scheduled for
this week promises to produce for Old
Eli an IL which will not be walked away
with.
Today, the Varsity played good foot
ball. Every man on the team thorough
ly understands the Yale game, proved
apt and the rehearsal of tricks. intri-
cate formations and signals were a sue
cess. The college side was given the
ball during the greater part of the
practice. but the Varsity ripped the
scrubs wide open. Once the subs team
succeeded in making long gain. but it
was around the end of the line, point
where Yale's most serious weakness is
evident. When the University eleven
had possession of the ball it was a case
of tearing through the opposing line at
will, despite the fact that their oppon
ents knew the signals.
Altogether. the afternoon practice
was exceedingly encouraging and one
thing is announced as certain: Yale's
1897 foot ball team is one Of the sandi
est and most gritty in the history of
Yale foot ball.
Among the student body, tonight
there is great hope for success. With
Capt. Rodgers. the coachers and play
ers there is strong determination and
something like faith in the ability OF
the team to stop Harvard. Neither
victory nor defeat will surprise them
but Yale Waterloo is not looked for
No one was injured on the practice,
and every man on the team is as fit
as a fiddle. Tomorrow and Wednes-
day, practice will be had. On Thurs
day morning, exercise. a light practice
in the afternoon and signal rehearsing
in the evening will be the programme.
