Yale's Final Practice Before the Prince
 ton Game.

ton Game.
 The final practice of the Yale uni versity eleven before the game with Princeton was held at Yale field yes terday afternoon in dnenching rain. The indictment weather did not keep the pigskin chasers from indulging in a short practice game They were lined up for about ten minutes, and the makeup of the university team was about the same as it will be when it faces the Tigers tomorrow afternoon. It was: Cutten, center; Brown, left guard; Marshall right guard; Stillman, left tackle; Captain Chamberlin, right tackle; Eddy, left end; Coy, right end deSaulles, quarter; Durston and Town send, halfbacks, and Marvin, fullback. Mcbride will, of course, play fullback, but the coaches were not desirous of his being injured again. There was considerable fumbling, but that was to be expected because of the condition of the ball occasioned by the rain. All the linemen are now in good condition. None are suffering from any injuries and each one should be able to play the game of his life. As for deSaulles at quarter, his ankle is not as strong as it might be- It would not take much of wrench to so injure him that he would be compelled to retire. Much de- pendence on the playing of the team is put upon deSaulles' ability to last the game through. He is far and away ahead of the other men trying for the same position. Ely or Sullivan will be second choice.
 The announcement that Durston had passed his examinations and would be able to participate in the big game was received with much joy on the campus yesterday morning, as there is much need of a man with the weight, plung- ing and sprinting ability possessed by Durston. He is a splendid line bucker and a handy player. His offensive work is superb and he is quite strong on the defense. Yale supporters will have no occasion to fear for one halfback As for Townsend. he has been laid up for the past three weeks with a strain ed knee. He has only partially recov- cred from this injury, but for couple of days past has been playing good game despite this injury. He is a speedy player, follows his interference well and is expected to make some round the end runs for good gains. Me- Bride will be found at fullback. He has improved during this season, both in kicking and line buckng. If kick ing game is resorted to Mcbride can be relied upon for good gains. As for the substitute backs, there are num- Der who play fairly good games, among them being Marvin, Benjamin, Gilmore Harvey, Wear, and. Beard and Graft for halves, Dashiel and Dupee for full backs For line substitutes there are a number of good men, among them be- ing Mcconnell, Hall and Thompson, center, Adrews and Grant; guards, AL len, Cook, Hixon; tackles, Schweppe, Sharpe, Slocovich, Thomas and Hub bell. ends.
 All the men on the squad met at the gymnasium last night and practiced signals. It is thought that Yale will not resort to any tricks, but that straight, hard football will be played throughout Forty-five men will be taken to Princeton. They will leave here to-day on the 4 o'clock train for New York and remain at the Murray Hill hotel till Saturday morning.
