YALES PROBABLE LINEUP
HOW FIFE BLUE WILL BE REPRE- SENgED AT HARYARD,

sitions in Doubt-Other Places PractI- caIIy Certain-Tho Team Continuos to Improve-Junior and senior Game Yes- tnrday Afternoon-Juniors Won.
 The game with the Chicago Athletic association eleven at the field this af- ternon is expected to be very close and exciting one. This same team de- feated the Newton Athletic club team 0 week ago by score of 30 to 0, while Yale only succeeded in scoring 10 points against the same team.
 In consequence of this, taken in con- nection with the fact that several of Yale's men are a little fine, the open practice yesterday afternoon was only of 20 minutes duration. During that time, however, the work was fast and aggressive.
 Line bucking and around the end plays were used almos: continually. The Varsity eleven showed the good effects of the previous days hard work and kept the college team from making more than two or three gains. Hine did some very good playing for the col lege, and his bunting was exceptionally good. Mcbride also showed improve ment. He kicked more accurately and farther than at any time in the past two weeks. The team work and inter ference was much better. The secret practice of Thursday afternoon, with Walter Camp in charge, must have been hummer, at any rate the entire prac- tice yesterday gave evidence of some needed changes having been made.
 A short secret practice was again had yesterday afternoon.
 The days before the big games with Harvard and Princeton are numbered. The former is only a week off, while the latter is but two weeks away. This means that a great deal of hard work will have to be done in the next few days.
 The makeup of the team that will play in these games and be the repre- sentative eleven of the university is probably uppermost in the thoughts of all the undergraduates and those deep ly interested in the team.
 The question is discussed in the rooms, at the "fence," in the eating places,on the street and in fact every place and every time that two or more men meet. Each one has an opinion as to the proper man for each position, and his reasons for thinking so.
 A wide diversity of opinion exists. The positions which can't be agreed up- on are end and half backs. Most all are agreed as to the five line men, the quarter and full backs. The candidates for the other positions are evenly bal anced and the work of each for the last two weeks has been so very good that it is difficult to choose between them.
 The lineup of the team which will barring accident, face Harvard will probably be as follows: Center, Cad- walader; right guard, Brown; right tackle, Chamberlain; right end, Hall; left guard, Marshall; left tackle, Cap tain Rodgers; left end, Hagen; quarter back, De Saulles; right half back, Ben- jamin; left half back, Dudley; full back, Mcbride.
 The most prominent candidates for end are: Hazen, Hall, Hubbell, Eddy, Connor and Slocovitch. The latter is at the special training table at the New Haven house, but his work for the past two or three days has not been alto- gether satisfactory, while Hall has done some brilliant playing and will no doubt be the lucky man.
 Hagen has filled the position at end very acceptably His appearance on the field was later in the season than any of the other men, but with the ad- vantage of considerable experience he soon became the leading candidate for that position. The early part of this week he was taken sick and compelled to step practice, but was out again yesterday.
 Connor i1 the early part of the sea- son did some remarkably good work at half back, but he was found to be too light and was tried at end. His lack of weight was $ drawback in this position and he was superseded by heavier men. His being taken to the special training table has caused many to think that he will be captain of next years eleven and play quarter.
 Fer half back, Kiefer, Gilmore, Shat tuck, Dudley, Benjamin, Corwin, Hine and Marvin have all shown up very good. Of these Dudley, Corwin and Benjamin are at the special training table. Ikiefer is a good ground gainer, E but fumbles badly. Shattuck plays a | strong game, but has been unfortunate in having his nose twice broken and his ankle injured Hine has been tried at both fu.i and half back, and will no doubt replace Mcbride at full in case the later is injured. Benjamin ham, rners the line in good style for big gains and is probably the best sprinter on the field. His fuinbling is his worst fault. Dudley plays a steady game and tackles, interferes and runs well. He < is little slow in starting.
 X Marvin and Gilmore have both done < good work, and were seriously consid- < cred for backs. In case of accidents the substitutes will In all probability E be: Center, Post; guards, Mcfarland and Drummond; tackles, Allen, McGee, 4 Hale, Francis or Chadwick; ends, Hub bell, Connor, Slocovitch, Greenway or Eddy; quarter back, Sullivan Wurter Stoddard or Ely; half backs, Corwin, Shattuck. Marvin, Gilmore, Kiefer. and full back, Hine.
 Harvard has no game scheduled for
