FOOTBALL.
Two Halves of Thirty Minutes Each
 Played at Yale Field.

b"o AdAEes or Thirty Minutes Euch
 Played at Yale Field.
 Contrary to the expectation of many the practice of the Yale university football squad at Yale field yesterday afternoon was an exceedingly hard one. In consequence, the attendance was not so large as usual, but those who were present saw a marked change in the playing. The individual work of sev- erai ot the men was superb and at times the interference both on the uni Versity and college elevens was very brilliant. The backs were so well as- sisted by their interferers that several very long round the end runs were made and numerous times the college line was torn apart and gains of from nVe to twenty yards were made.
 The team work however, is not yet up to the standard, but great improve ment has been made in this respect uurlng the week. It is thought by many that an abundant opportunity Will be afforded the coaches to deter mine upon the various faults in the team plays and also that of the indi- Vlduals and that all of next week the coaches will devote themselves entirely to remedying the individual faults and the perfection of team play. Yester- day afternoon two long halves were played. A part of the game pure straight football was played, but later a few tricks were attempted, which worked remarkably well and could doubtless be used to good advantage in tha ar i,1or Harvard. The university eleven was very strong one and they succeeded in making several touchdowns. In the first half the lineup was Cutten, cen ter; Brown and Marshall, guards; Allen and Chamberlin, tackles; Coy and Ed dy, ends; Sullivan, quarter; Wear and Burdlck, halves, and Mcbride, full- back. Most of the gains were made by end runs and line plays, but some kick ing was done by Mcbride. He kicked very well, sending the ball from 40 to 50 yards each time. The college eleven was assisted by Heffelfinger '91 S., the giant guard. He gave the men on that eleven many valuable pointers which enabled them to stop the fierce line plays of the university backs
 In the second half he played left guard against Marshall and caused Marshall to work much harder than he ordinarily does. Marshall will doubt less profit by his experience. McCon- nell, the Law school senior, played cen ter for the college against Cutten, and for while it was nip and tuck, with the odds slightly in favor of Cutten. His playing showed the benefit of the recent coaching received from Sanford and Stillman. The backs for the col Iege each played renarkab bly, wei, es- pecially Beard at full back and Atha at right half. Boards bunting was at times equal to that of McBride's and his line bucklng and interference was splendid Atha made several nice runs around the ends. In the second half Durston and Gilmore played halves for the university and Dashiel full back. Durston and Gilmore are both heavy and speedy men and they made several unusually long gains through the line. These two men would make a splendid pair of backs and both would be use ful as line buckers or runners. With such weight as the two men possess, each weighing over 175, and Mcbride at 193, the trio would be an unusually hard one to stop.
 A number of coaches were again out among them being Laurie Bliss 's3, F. T. Murphy '97, P. T. Stillman '94 W. T. Bull 'SS, Frank Butterworth 95. Murphy gave considerab ble attention to the end men. Coy, who is suffering from sore neck, had it injured and was compelled to retire from the prae- tice in favor of Slocovich. Dudley and Townsend were both out in suits and took, some light exercise in an effort to hasten the hea'ing of their injured knees Charlie de Sau'les attended the practice, but was dressed in citizens clothes.
 The lineup of the Yale team in the game with the. Chicago Athletic club at Yale field this afternoon will be as in the first of yesterdays practice. i game.
