 The practice of the Yale squad at the field yesterday was much better than that of the day before. The men went out in the morning and went through the usual light work, returning to the gymnasium at 12 o'clock. This prac- tice was lighter than on the former days. In the afternoon Brink" Thorne 95 came up from New York and helped to coach the team. The backs were di- v1ded into two squads and kicked and caught punts for three quarters of an hour under the direction of Thorne. There was strong wind at the back of the kickers and the kickine was therefore better than on the previous days. The wind at the same time dis turbed the men in catching and they made poor work of this The line men went through the usual practice, fall- ing on the ball and starting. The prac- tice closed with two stiff halves. Cap- tain Cha
 men on the university during the first half: Hall, center; Andrews and Brown, guards; Dunston and Richards
 tackles; Walker and Walker and Schneppe, ends; de Saulles, quarter; BenJamln and Corwin, halves; Dashiel full. The play was fast and strong. Team work made it's appearance for the first time this season and the gains especially of the university, were long and frequent. The university team scored twice in the first half. Duston making the first touchdown on a tackle play, and Corwin the second one on a dash through the line. After fifteen minutes of hard work a short intermis- sion was taken. In the second half Me- Bride went in at full on the first team. Marvin took Corwin's place and Gov went in at right end The playing time for this half was fully twenty minutes. but the men finished in good shape. All but one or two are in excellent con- dition. The college line was much weaker than that of the university and gave way to it for large gains. The first teams end runs also resulted in long gains. They made one touchdown. Corwin, who had taken Marvins place. when the latter was hurt, securing 1t. The college team succeeded in keeping the ball more during this half than in the former, and prevented further scor- ing. By short rushes around the left end and through the left side of the line, the college backs playing with good team work, ran the ball well down toward the universitys goal. Had the line held at all the college team would have secured a touchdown. Both teams were extremely weak in defense It was McBride's first game His best work was in plunging through the center. de Saulles also lined up for the l first time during the first half. He ran his team very we'll. Cunah was OuL TOT Lue morning practice, put did 1 not show up in the afternoon It is rumOred that he has had enough. Dud- ley and Walton also failed to appear, l but will be out again to-day Mar shall is expected now within a few days. McGee '99 will also come out. It l is likely that he will try either for | guard or center, as he is much heavier l than during last season.
 Bull was out again yesterday, but aS yet is doing no coaching. Nevertheless he keeps a close watch on the men | while they are at work. His advice | will no doubt soon be offered where 1t | is most needed. He will enter the med- | ical school this year. Thorne returned | to New York last night. Sanford was ! out and gave some valuable advice to l the center men. While coaching he im- | presses the men with the fact that he | knows what he is talking about But | terWorth and Graves will be out to- | day, Butterworth to remain over Sat urday. Graves will coach for a week | or two.
