Pruning Down the List of Candidates
 on College Teams. 2.
 New Haven, Conn, Sept 2S.-The football practice of the Yale squad yes terday afternoon gave the best oppoTs tunity yet afforded to size up the new material. All the old men, with the exception of Sheldon. were out, and Glass and Hogan, the giant freshmen, appeared together at guard and tackle in the varsity line.
 The aspect was most pleasing to the Yale supporters. Holt at center, Glass and Olcott. guards. and Goss and Hoan, tackles, formed a quintet for the middle of the line in which all the men. with the exception of Olcott, who weighed more than 200 pounds. and which presented a tentative varsity rush line of most formidable propor- tiOns.
 Behind the line John DeSaulles. a brother of the former quarterback, was in at quarter. with Chadwick of last years team and Hart and Wilhelm in the other three backfield positions.
 The varsity lined up against scrub team for fifteen minutes and scored twice in remarkably fast football for this time of the year, the most note worthy feature being the all-around play of Glass and Hogan. Glass tore through the scrub line at will, while Hogan brought the crowd to its feet with two pretty thirty-yard runs through the whole of the opposing eleven. The coaches out yesterday were George Stillman. the newly ap- pointed head coach: George Adee, Ben iamin and Townsend. haIfbacks in '97, and Sherman Coy, last years end.
 Princeton, N J.. Sept 27.-For the first time this season the football war riors of Old Nassau were lined up yesterday for fast. snappy fifteen minute half and although fumbling the ball was frequent occurrence and the play ragged in places the two teams made a eommendable showing
 The scrub team kicked off and the varsity. by line plunges, worked the ball down the field to the twenty-yard line and then lost it on a tumble. The ball was kept by the scrub for two minutes and worked back several yards. butlwas lost m tumble, After hine Iminutes' play sDavis got the, ball on the ten-yard line and l1nad9 a touchdown for the varsity. The ,scrub kickedsof again and the varsity. I8by line Rttacks and eItf runs acarFied the ball down to the scrubs' fifteen yard line. and time was eaIled.r !. q
 Several men showedsup in fine form. Henry at left end did excellent work, | especially in blocking his opponent and in making tackles. Freeman at quarter played clever game. and Ika- fer and Delaney made good gains through the scrubs line. Short at left tackle on the scrub eleven played strong game against the veteran De witt.
 Cambridge. Mass, Sept 2S.-Beyond the work of Baldwin at quarter, who did some fine tackling. and of Devens, who did we'll at fullbaek, the work of the Harvard football squad yesterday was decidedly poor.
 The backfield is discouraging for want of promising material. Two teams were InadeIup and played a game-neither scoring.
 To-day the first game of the season will be played with Williams.
 From their training quarters at Bran ford Point. Conn, the Columbia foot ball squad arrived in New York last night, ready to battle for honors on the gridiron. The men were accom- panied by Coach Sanford, who said he thought the team would be able to give a good account of itself.
 Referring to the game which was to have been played in Buffalo to-day with the University of Buffalo, MT Sanford said the game was cancelled hTy direction of the Columbia Advisory Council. and that n re-arrangement f of the schedule was probable.
