Among Undergraduates and Supporters
 -Captain Rogers Says That There Will
 be Very Little Secret Practice-News
 Notes.
 The prospects, for a Yale victory in either or both of the coming big games with Yale or Princeton are growing dinner and dinner, as the days go by Last Saturdays game on Yale's part was one of the poorest exhibitions of football seen for many years. The team was outplayed a, almost every point and the men so worn out that practice yesterday afternoon was short and of not much advantage. The men lined up the same in the game Satur- day, Post playing center on the 'Varsi- ty. while Cutten was lined up in that position on the college eleven.
 Owing to the state of the. weather and the worn-out condition of the men, the practice was only a half-hour long.
 Armstrong '95S, and w. o. Hicko1 '95S., were the new coaches on the field and gave the men some good pointers. Sanford will return tomorrow and di- rect his efforts to strengthening the de- fensive game.
 The mass play introduced by him last week and tried only by the college team, proved very effective. It is al- most a. sure ground gamer and will in all probability be given a trial by the Varsity during the coming week. One thing is certain; some new plays will have to be perfected, and that right soon.
 Captain Rodgers when e.sked yester- terday concerning secret practice said there would not be much of it this year. ''The work" he said, Twill be done in the gymnasium and will consist of the perfection of the interference and few new plays about to be introduced. The public will not be excluded from Yale field for more than two days previous to either of the big games" From this statement 1t Is evident that the men in charge are fully aware of the poor condition of the team and will use every effort to bring it up to the standard of former years. The men taken to the special Univer- sity training table established at the New Haven house yesterday are: Mar shall, center; Brown and Cadwalader, guards; Chamberlain and Captain Rogers, tackles; Hagen and Slocovitch, ends; DeSaulles, Sullivan and Connor, | quarter backs; Corwin and Dudley, halt backs, and Mcbride, full back. The fact that Cuttea has been relegat ed to the college team and is not among l the number taken to the special table | has caused much comment and specula- | tion as to the final makeup of the elev- en. among the undergraduates and all l others interested in the team. 1 Benjamin, who was acting captain I during Captain Rogers illness, Kiefer | Ely and Chadwick, who have been con- | sidered formidable candidates, are not | among the list and the indications are that they will not be, although several l additions will be made as work pro- | gresses this week.
 It will be remembered that Marshall | was tried at center in the early part | of the season and showed up in good form. It is thought that since Cutten's 1 injuries have proved so serious that he will be succeeded by Marshall, although l Post is at present playing center. 1 From the fact that Cacwalader was 1 chosen it is evident that the managers are confident that his recent injury is not so serious as is supposed, and he will be able to play in the big games | It Is to be hoped that the end of this week will show a great change for the better
