By neat double pass Cornelius Daily,
who is now with the Columbia foot ball
squad, will go to Yale after all. close
friend of Daily, who Is Yale student, went
to Branford last night to see him when 1t
became known that the Worcester athlete
had turned to Columbia. The friend had
induced Daily to come to Yale in the first
instance, and he was. therefore. surprised
to learn of the young athletes change of
mind. AS a result of the conference DAILY
told his chum that he had experienced an
other change Of mind. 1t can be stated that
DAILY will be at Yale next Monday to take
the final examinations.
IF pass them" said Daily. II shall en-
ter. Yale was my first choice. but I was
influenced against my own desire to go to
Columbia. If fail to pass the entrance ex-
aminations for Yale 1 shall go to some col
Iege other than Columbia"
Captain Brown of the Yale eleven has de-
c!ded to begin the scrimmage work of the
season tomorrow. Richardson, who all but
made center last year. arrived at New Ha-

in the special points Of the game.
Ballet took the center men to one corner
of the field and gave them the benefit of his
experience in the snap back position. Ar
thur Poe assembled the candidates for end
rush and made them tumble over each other
in the endeayor to learn the mysteries Of
blocking and taCkling. Nat Poe was on
the gridiron in foot ball clothes, and showed
the quarter back candidates how to receive
the oval from the center, and the most ad-
vantageOuS manner Of passing and follow
ing the interference.
Hutchinson, the star quarter back of last
season, will not return to Princeton this
fall. and the new material has not as yet
produced any promising men. Duncan OF
the junior class is at present the most like
ly candidate.
