1t appears as though the Yale grad
uatss and undergraduates are working
at cross purposes on the matter of the
eligibility of the Harvard players. Wal
ter Camp in an interview given as repre-
senting the graduate feeling. stated that
no protest had been made of the Harvard
players and that Yale had made no in
vestigation of their records.
On the other hand Manager Francis
of the Yale team gave out an interview,
in which he stated that there might be
something. doing If he was asked as to
the feeling of the undergraduate body at
Yale concerning the Harvard players He
went to Boston last night and his visit
is significant.
zaids far noffllig has been said which
is more than insinuation by the Yale un-
dergraduate managers. and until Mr..
Camps statement. nothing at all had
been said by Yales graduates.
The secret practice at the Yale field
yesterday afternoon was slightly longer
than Monday. The work was largely
signal practice.
Wihelmi will probably be able to get
into the game Saturday as substitute. If
not at regular half back His lame leg
which was invented by Trainer Mike
Murphy. and the treatment has been most
beneficial. Rafferty, was again alternated
at full back with Weymouth, and Nc
Clintock was on the college team
All the men seemed to be in first-class
shape, and it is probable that by to-mor-
row the regular team may be lined up
for practice together
Cornell resumed work yesterday. Seven
of the varsity players were out for light
practice. but Hunt, Coffin, Schoelkolf and
Purcell were not fit for any kind of ex-
ercise. Hunt went to the infirmary yes
terday morning.
Two men who reported were not en-
dangered in a line up. Sharp signal work
was sufficient for the first days work.
This was preceded by several romps
down the field on punts. Quarterback
Brewster showed the best form he has
evidenced this season.
Coach Reed and Coach Starbuck worked
with the varsity squad, and Coaches Da-
vail and Cool took the scrubs aside and
taught them the first principles of the
guards back. Today there will be a
scrimmage and this formidable offense
will be sprung on the regular line The
game with Vermont for Saturday will
be entirely lost sight of and all attention
Will be focused on the Pennsylvania
game.
In case neither Purcell nor Hunt should
be able to play in the final game, Fresh
mar Sheperd would undoubtedly be the
halfback, unless the coaches should de-
eide to transfer F'inucane. For right
guard either Emmons or Cooper would
have to be relied upon.
Coiumbia's football team left for An
napoiis last night and will line up against
the Naval Cadets today. The outcome
of the game is very doubtful, as Column
bia'e team is group of cripples. Weekes
and Smith are probably out of the game
for good, and the back field, which at the
beginning of the season was regarded as
the best in the country, is now only a
shadow of whatit was.
Morley is still at quarter and Berrien
at fullback, while there is no real varsity
material to take the places vacated by
Harold Weekes and Smith. Deuel., who
mas proved himself a close second to
Smith, is also the hospital list while
Harold Townsend, enc of the stars of the
early season, broke his leg two months
ago. In order to meet the exigencies of
the case Sanford has shifted Van Hoeven-
berg's position at end to Arthur Wolff.
Annapolis has beaten Pennsylvania this
year by score of to 5, and the In
dams by 16 to 5, and word has come up
from Maryland that Annapolis will win.
But the Columbia players are determined
to redeem themselves, and will fight to
the last for victory. Special rates have
been made for men wishing to accompany
the team and band of rooters left last
might
Practice yesterday was light and con-
sisted of running through signals and
trying foundations The lineup today
will be az follows:-
Left end, A. Boyesen; left tackle; Kind
gen; left guard, Lancon; centre. Shaw:
right guard, Mcclellan; right tackle,
Bruce: right end, Arthur Wolff; quarter
back, Morley: left halfback, Van Hoeven-
berg; right halfback, Fisher; fullback,
