SECRET PRACTICE YESTERDAY.

Yale Team Fast Getting Ready for Princeton-Short Open Practice. Quite contrary to expectations the | Yale football leaders put the team through hard practice yesterday af-
 ternoon, Over half of the practice was
 behind closed gates. This plan will be followed until after the Princeton
 game New formations will be tried and the college men will know nothing
 of them until they are worked on the Tigers.
 After the secret practice the gates were thrown open and the varsity and college teams were lined up against
 each other for half of fifteen minutes duration The varsity men were near ly all out and were apparently in good condition. Swan did not play at the end and the backs were changed about somewhat Weymouth played on the scrubs during some of the practice and played a fine offensive and defen- sive game against the varsity. He was later put on the varsity and kept up his good work. There seems to be no doubt but that he will start in the
 Princeton game Saturday.
 Coach Stillman even thought it best
 to have the signal work in secret so the
 varsity were sent through fifteen min
 Ites of this sort behind closed gates.
 Mike Murphy is very confident that all
 the men will be in good sound physi-
 cal condition when they meet the Fig

 dc much as he has not fully recovered

When Gardiner Comes To-day the New
 Haven Team Will Be Compact
 All of New Haven's polo team have reported to Manager Aufort with the exception of Gardiner, the halfback. Manager Aufort received telegram from Gardiner last night stating that he would report in New Haven to-day and it is expected that the team will practice in the Chapel street rink this aft ernoon. Cunningham and Berry, the other new men on the team. came two or three days ago and are in good condition to start the season Thurs day.
 Manager Aufort stated last night that the time for commencing the games this season would be 8:30 o'clock Instead of o'clock, which has been the custom ever since polo started here. It is thought that S;3O will be a better hour for the public. The admission for the games will be twenty-five cents, the reserved seats costing thirty-tive cents. This price is reduction from that of last year and will doubtless have good results. The reserved seat tickets will be on sale at Laubers cigar store on Chapel street. This evening a meeting will be held at the Hotel Garde and the schedule for the season will be adopted. Other business will be transacted and all arrangements preparatory to the opening of the season will be com pleted.
