YALE ELEVEN LEAVES FOR C4M-
 BRIDGE TO-DAY,
Names of Players Picked for the Game Not Announced-Ha1e Almost Sure to Play Center-Yest.rd.y,s Practice of the Eieven-Harvard Team Ready.

the Eieven-Harvard Team Ready. | The Yale eleven will leave for Cam | bridge early this afternoon. Previous
 to going they will assemble at the New
 Haven house for last conference with
 the coaehers. At this meeting it is very likely that the men who have been chos-
 en to play in the first half of the game tomorrow will be informed of their se- lection. The coachers steadfastly re- fused last evening to make their names known.
 The going away of the team will be witnessed by the students of the uni versity in large numbers, and they will
 be given grand send-off Following the usual custom, each player will be given rousing cheer, and students
 have already been elected to lead the
 cheering.
 The eleven held it's practice as usual
 yesterday afternoon, but it was very
 short and light. After the opening half
 hour of secret practice but ten minutes
 of open practice were played, and this
 was merely signal practice for the first
 eleven. The team as it lined up yester-
 day is more thap likely to be the one
 that will play in the opening half of
 the game tomorrow. On it Switzer
 and Hubbell played ends Francis and
 Stillman tackles Brown and Olcott
 guards, Hale center, Fincke quarter,
 Mcbride full-back and Sharpe and Du- pee halves. By the above it will be seen that Hale has probably displaced
 Cunha in the competition for center. Such a change, made just before an ap- preaching big contest, is one of the most unusual of the kind in the history of Yale football. It shows what an effect the two days coaching of Sanford while he was here had upon the rest of the coachers.
 Sanford picked Hale as being better man at center than Cunha, and ''~ will undoubtedly be given chance in to- morrow's game Hale's playing of this position leaves the position of left tackle open for Francis who, with Stillman, will probably play the tackles. AS Brown and Olcott are decidedly the best men for guards there are only two end positions in the line left in doubt. Switzer and Hubbell make as fast a pair as have been produced. Both lack the weight of Thomas, who played in the first of the season, but in every oth- CT respect they are his equal. But for the good qualities of the other pair, Schweppe and Gould, they would cer- tainiy have a strong hold upon the po- sition. As it is, they are likely to play in the first half of the game, but they may be replaced by the latter two in the second half.
 Tn back of the line there is equal in- decision as to who the halves will be. Sharpe, Dupee, Richards, Chadwick and Keane are the candidates, and it will be the hardest task the coachers will have to contend with to discrmi- nate between them. Dupee and Rich ards play the most brilliant game of l the five, while Sharpe, with either of | these two seems to profit by their dash. His bunting also is in his favor, and un- less he is in poor condition, as has been hinted at, he is almost sure to go into [ the game. Chadwick and Keane are, In any event, first substitutes, and it is not unlikely that they may be given a | chance.
 Mcbride has as substitutes both Du- pee and Adams. The latter plays the position the best of the two, but Du- pee's bunting makes him valuable. At | quarter Fincke will probably play the whole game, barring accident. Wear | will probably be the first substitute.
