CAPTAIN CHAMBERLIN STILL WORRYING
Yale is going to have good Practice game
with Brown at New-Hayen next Wednesday
and another rather stirring affair with the
Carlisle Indians week from yesterday. FOL
lowing that will come the game with West
Point All these contests will show Yale's full
strength and It won't do for her 10 start In any
Of these games with n lot Of substitutes Nor

shape fairly well. though the weak centre OF
which the papers have been full, is still night
mare to Captain Chamberlin. II is all well
enough to bring back to New-Haven PA Cor
bin and Foster Sanford, those Yale centres OF
renown but first rate centre-rush Is born, not
made and II almost looks as II Yale University
at the present time contained no heaven-born
genius Of a centre-rush. Cutten, Richardson,
Andrews and others are tried In rotation. but
none Of them are strong, and unless there Is some
wonderful bolstering between now and Novem-
Der ; Princeton Will make a Dig STEADY arrive
at the keystone in the Blue line
PRINCETON STILL HAS PROBLEMS.
ENCOURAGING reports have come from Prince

form thus far warrants much exuberance among
the student body at Old Nassau There has
certainly been improvement. seadying Of the
whole eleven, and very perceptbe tendency
toward some team work But the eleven is still
so weak in individual spots that as yet there Is
comparatively little cause for coneratulation.
The centre will be strong of this there seems
little question and any opposing team that tries

the Orange line will be tacklng tough propo-

very weak 1t seems to he toss-up with the
coaches whether to use "A couple oil lleht anu
