FOOTBALL
YALE.


New Haven, Conn, Nov. T7.-Late to-
night 1t was learned that the definite pick
| ing of the Yale football eleven has been
made. There were only three positions
| about which there was any doubt at all,
| the two half-backs and that of full-back.
/ For the latter place it was taken for
| granted however, that Mcbride would
eventually be chosen, but the cOacher to
whom was delegated the power to decide
the matter has tonight sent Mcbride to
| New York to be treated by a specialist,
as his ankle is getting worse. though at
/ first il seemed a simple wrench. This
gives the big full-back only one chance
in a thousand of playing next Saturday.
In his place Townsend viii doubtless go
in. Such is the plan tonight In punting
and all kicking Captain Chamberlain
will, however. act. For half-backs. Dud-
| ley and Durston are picked out with
Ely at quarterback and Eddy and Hub
| bell for ends, Chamberlain and Stilman
for tackles, Brown and Marshall guards
and Cutten at center. Durston is put in
despite his fumbling in the Princeton
game, because he can so we'll fill Cham
berlain's post at tackle when the latter
goes into the kicking department of the
game. Should Dudley give out, Corwin
is the first substitute.

Philadelphia, Nov lin the absence OF
Coach Woodruff, Captain Outland took
charge of the University Of Pennsylvania
football team today. All the men were
out except Overfield and AIcMahon. Over
field is still confined to his bed with an
attack of the grip and it is possible that
he may not be able TO play again this
! season. Should this be the case Nc
Closkey will probably take his place in
the Cornell game on Thanksgiving day
and Smith may be given a chance at
full-back McMahon's ankle which he
wrenched yesterday, is causing him much
pain, and if he should be unable to take
part in the big game, Hodge will prOba-
bly, play left end. Captain Outland lined
the men up today and gave them twenty
minutes signal practice. The work was
good. but slow. on account of the number
of cripples. The men who are more or
less ailing are Ruegenberg. Carnett, Gar
diner, Coombs. Hedges and McCracken.
| These men were retired after the signal
practice and with scrubs in their places
the team was lined up for 10 minuets
practice against the scrub team. The
scrubs were given the BAH for ten downs
at the expiration of which time they were
four yards back of their starting point.
The Varsity put up a strong defense.
CORNELL
Ithaca. n Y, Nov. 1.-THE competition
for places on .CorneIs Varsity team
which will line up against Pennsylvania
will be very close and the work OF the
candidates who are trying for positions in
establishing the line is the best seen at
Percy Field this year. For full-back,

ton game, and Perkins. the heavy full

the struggle for the place. Today Perkins
was favored by the fact that his oppo-
nent was not able to work, and he was
kept in the position during the hour
practice. VIII and Windsor are trying
for right half-back. Cross replaced Grim
shaw at right end today Caldwell Il IS
believed. Will be put al center by the
end OF the week and Wyviu is already
booked 70 play at left tackle. II is doubt
ful il Alexander Will be out in time for the
Philadelphia game. Quarterback Young's
position was filed by Short OF the scrub
eleven. Signal practice at the beginning
was hard and was kept up for a good
time. II was open practice today and not
all the formations 20 be used IN the COM
ing game were used. There was much
fumbling by the Varsity men today and
as a result they were able 10 score only
one touchdown or the scrubs. Short
placed a fine goal from the field. Cap
tain Whiting Is gradually improving and
Will be in the game on Thanksgiving
day.
