All Will Be in Excellent Playing

Place of Capt. Rodgers Yale's
Trainer Feels Confident.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. IS- Yale's foot
tall players went 10 sleep tonight realizing
that they had lined up for he last time
in practice this season. They were not
worked hard this afternoon and they crept
to TED feeling as healthy ana frisky as
kittens.
THESE stories of any member OF tie team
being out of condition are untrue said
Fitzpatrick the Yale trainer, tonight Il
never saw an eleven just before heir Zig
game IN any better condition, if a. good. a 5
Is the Yale team AT present. The bruise
hazeu received will not handicap him at
all He Is as lively as ever today. Cad
walader has ceased to limp and both viii be
in tlIeir best form by Saturday"
1t was decided this morning TO line up the
eleven this afternoon, but to give the
varsity no hard work. Nc morning prac
tice was taken, the team attending recita
lions and resting quietly in their rooms.
The management are making every effort
possible To keep the players quiet ana are
guarding them against excitement. The
trainers and rutbers visit each player and
give MIN a physical examination twice a
ness ia the joints. There is no change in
the plans OF the team. The light lineup
OF this Afternoon ana the signal practice
OF tomorrow VIII he all that the players
viii do till the game On Saturday.
The 'v3rsity lineup against an opposing
team this afternoon did not last ten
minutes Butterworth and the Hinkcy
brothers were the only coaches present, and
-.
CHa1uberiaip ana Mcbride, W no were Yale's
twin punters in the Harvard game, have
been working out sous new tricks. and al
together, Yale expects to play some fox $
moves on Saturday.
One scheme the coaches exhibited in
open practice today was to put Chad
wick at left tackle in place of Capt.
Rodgers Rodgers has never fully recovered
from lis recent attack Of typhoid, and al
though he stuck TO the Harvard game till
it closed, he was exhausted by the mass
| plays Harvard 4 invariably aimed at tackle.
PnncetOn's close formations are said to
be also aimed at tackle, and if Capt.
Rodgers is obliged 10 quit the game, Chad
wick viii BE the man chosen To go into his
| place.
The football season at Princeton was
| completed this afternoon. The big stands
surrounding the field are down and the
| tackliBg dummy, which has done its share
/ in developing the team. was laid ava Y
/ carefully until next year. The lineup
! gainst the scrub was omitted from to-
| da VS. practice, ana an hour of fast, sna ppy
work on signals was all that was required
of the players.
Purke pla yed quarterback all through
| the practice, passing the ball and giving
| the signals in good style. Baird Wa
/ not on the field, hut Ira iner McMasters
said that the crack quarterback is coming
into shapc and VIII play In Saturdays bic
/ game. Kelly ran through the signals
| In his cid position at right halfback. In
one of the end runs Kelly tripped and goi
q tad fan on his weak shoulder.
He stretched out oil the field for a few
minutes, and it looked as though he were
againcut, but, after a short rest, be jumped
into the game again. He is in poor physl
cal condition, and VIII not be able L
| stand more than fifteen minutes Of hard
| football The coachers, however, intend
| TO let him start in the first half with
! Barnard on account of the experience the
two have had in the big games and the
/ liability OF the other backs to become rat
/ tied in the opening plays.
After the game is well started and the
men h6ve gotten over their nervousness
Kelly will be taken out and Reiter sub
stiruted. Holt has a slight cold, and was
J given a rest today. Potter played left
tackle. and will be used for first substi
tute. Geer Will play right tackle If Hide
| brand is forced to quit Booth has

rest TO prepare for Saturdays tussle.
