Hogan and Olcott Placed on the Scrub
Ragged Work by the Varsity
Scrub Almost Scored.
The Xale varsity football team re-
ceived the first real shakeup of the sea-
son yesterday afternoon when Olcott
and Hogan, two men who have been
with the first team since the first line
up, were relegated to the scrub side.
This was done, probably, to give the
varsity as whole, better practice
rather than to put these two men on
the second team for inferior playing.
The presence of Hogan and Olcott
greatly strengthened the scrub side
and they played far better football
than the varsity. Once they forced
the ball from the 15-yard line to the
one yard line, there to lose 1t on downs.
Hogan and Olcott played with great
snap, and infused all kinds or life in the
second team They played quicker than
the varsity, whose work was ragged,
in fact worse than it has been at any
time this season. Goss was slow and
he proved easy for Hogan, Weeks, the
Andover freshman, who took Hogan
place, played a good game and 1t looks
Head Coach Stillman gave nearly all
his attention to this player, who IS
promising candidate. Olcott's place at
left guard was taken by Phelps. OIL
cot kicked off for the scrubs and de-
Saulles was downed before he got five
yards. The varsity tried to work the
delayed pass game on the scrub line
and in two attempts they were thrown
back for a total of fifteen yards. Will
helmi kicked and Metcalf, who caught
the punt, ran 1t back for about twenty
five yards before he was doWned. Here
the scrub team tore holes in the var
sity line and landed the ball on the l.
yard line. The coachers yelled and yell
ed at the first team men, but they
couldn't hold. Gould was tircled once
and Olcott tore through Goss for good
gains. The varsity Just saved them
selves from being scored against by
big effort They took the ball and
tried to rush it, but after three downs
were called on them Vanderpool, who
took Wilhelmls place, kicked to the 30
ward line. The varsity took the ball
on downs and then Chadwick circled
Ferguson's end for forty yard rum
After the next lineup the half ended
The same teams went in in the second
half. and the work of the second sur
passed that of the varsity The work
of the first team simply went to show
that against strong and lively oppo-
nent the varsity team is not up to the
average Yale team. This was conclu-
sively shown, too, in the Amherst game
Wednesday. Howard Knapp, the IA
mouse guard was at the field yester-
day, but did not coach the men. Still
man, Bull and Townshend were the
coachers. About an hour was taken in
the preliminary work of punting, catch
ing the ball. tacking and breaking
through the line, but the work was as
unsatisfactory as ever, except IN rev
cases. The lineup of the varsity was
as follows: Left end, Gould; left tackle,
Goss: left guard, Phelps; center, Holt;
right guard, Glass; right tackle, Weeks;
right end, Rafferty, quarter, deSaulles;
left half, Hart; right half, Chadwick;
fullback, Wilhelm and Vanderpoel.
The scrub backs were Metcaf, Fox and
Scott, half backs, Olcott and Sutphin,
full backs, and Donahue, quarter back.
Tufts play this afternoon. the game
being called at $3.50 o'clock.
