FOOTBALL.
Yale Supporters Much Encouraged by
 Yesterdays Practice.

AestetuNy's Practice,
 There were just thirteen coaches present at Yale field yesterday after noon and it is needless to say that the practice was unusually good. Many of those who witnessed the practice are very much encouraged over the pros pect and were quite enthusiastic in their discussions concerning the mat ter last night. The coaches were Wal ter Camp, who gave general advice; Knapp and Stillman, who paid partic- ular attention to the center; Heffletin- ger and Chadwick for the guards; Winter for the tackles, Frank Hinkey and Wallace for the ends; Bliss, Thorne, Mccormick, Graves and But terworth for the backs. With one or two men to coach each man on the eleven there is every reason to believe that a wonderful improvement, both in team work and individual playing will be made before the contest with Princeton on Saturday next. The uni verslty team started in to play as fol- lows: Cutten, center; Brown and Mar shall, guards; Chamberlin and Allen, tackles; Hubbell and Coy, ends; de- Saulles, quarterback; Marvin and Dud- ley, halves, and Dashiel, full back.
 It was a matter of much qualification to all present to see de Saulles line up once more, and everyone was just as much disheartened by his sustaining another slight injury to his ankle, which caused him withdraw in favor of Sullivan. Various reports have been circulated as to the condition of Me Bride, one of which said that he was suffering from water on the knee. Be- fore the team lined up yesterday af- ternoon he, however, spent some time in bunting and is in very good condi- tion. He did not take part in the practice game. Of the men who have ben laid up from one cause and anoth- CT. Marvin, Dudley and Townshend were each tried at half, and played in a manner which seemed to indicate that they had each entirely recovered from their injuries. The team as a whole played much better game than on the preceding day, and many times better than the one put up against the Chicago Athletic club eleven on Sat- urday. Cutten seems to have profited considerably by Saturdays game, at any rate he is playing much stronger now than at any previous time during the season. Yesterday afternoon he broke through the college line, secured the ball on fHmble and made a long run before being downed.
 Captain Chamberlin played only a short time and Richardt was substi- tuted. Only one half last about twen- ty-five minutes was played and consid- erable attention was given to the strengthening and improvement of the defensive work. In consequence of this the university team failed to score.
 At present the physical condition of the men is such that barring accidents all of the best men on the squad will be in condition to participate in the big game.
 It is quite probable that the lineup for Saturdays game will be: Cutten, center; Brown, left guard; Marshall, right guard Chamberlin, right tackle; Allen, left tackle; Coy right end; Hub bell or Eddy, left end; deSaulles, quar- ter back; Mcbride full back. The two halves are the most uncertain, but they will likely be frawn from Durston, Dudley, Townshend and Benjamin, with the odds in favor of the two form CT. It is not likely that secret practice will be resorted to at all this season, at any rate not this week. There may, however, be secret practice next week.
