One Thousand Men Gathered In Alumn
 Hall Last Night-What MT. camp Say
 Of tho Yale Team-An Enthusiasti
 Meeting Yesterdays Practice.
 One of the most enthusiastic mas
 meetings ever held before big foot
 ball game was that of last night il
 Alumni hall. No less than thousand
 students were there and while the
 meeting was short one it was full o1
 spirit. Walter Camp, Yales athletic
 advisor, addressed the students on the
 football situation. He referred to the
 Glass case and said that he was glad # he was out of it. MT. Camp said that
 Yale has lost one of the finest players
 that ever wore blue jersey but he
 wanted to impress upon the men the
 fact that they should not feel defeated
 for the players who will take their po-
 sitions Saturday are stars, every one of < them.
 He said that it was generally the case
 that when man became captain of a
 >@~S eSeAAAA AiAo PioyiiA5 lSll olL, UQl lI1lS \ year he said 1t was different. Instead
 of playing behind his game MT. Camp
 said that Captain Gould was playing
 ahead of his game Gould never play
 ed better football in his life," said the
 speaker, land that means a great deal
 l hope that the same man who made X the first touchdown last year against
 Princeton will do the trick this year In s as few minutes" It will be remem-
 bered that Gould made the touchdown
 very shortly after the game opened last
 year. MT. Camp said that reports that
 Princeton and Harvard were beginning to get confident over the coming games
 were seen every now and then in the New York and Boston papers but he
 assured the men that as soon as the players from Cambridge and Princeton see "" sweater their hopes drop like ton of coal. He said it would be just the same this year.
 Mr. Camp spoke of the trick of grab ping the ball from a players arms in 2 Scrimmage or after he was downed. He said that this was a great stunt with Princeton more than Harvard and he impressed 1t upon the members of the team to hold the ball no matter what happened. Hold the ball and hold it tight" he said. The speaker said 1t would be well if any of the students present had personal friends on the team to tell them on that point 50 that there could be no chance of los ing tho pigskin after a long run. The ball snatching act has given Princeton many first down when it rightfully At<s@y<x roI +o f1a tnry

 LONG SECRET PRACTICE.
 Yesterdays secret practice of the 1 Yale football team lasted over an hour | and before 1t was over a crowd of per- haps 300 gathered about the gates and | waited for them to be thrown open All the varsity men with, of course the exception of Glass, were at the field, but Olcott and wilhelmi were in their street clothes. Olcott's leg is still stiff and he limped considerably in walking around the field. Wilhelmi's leg was worse than Olcotts, and it was stated yesterday that he would not be able to get in the game with Princeton. He wrenched his knee Tuesday and at first the coachers thought it was tri1e Tn the open practice McC1intock was at full back and Hart and Easton were the half-backs Hart was given many chances to advance the ball, but he gained little ground against the heavy scrub team. McClintock was in good condition, and it may be decided to play him against Princeton at full back and have Chadwick and Weymouth the half backs. This would make a heavy combination and one of good line buck Ing ability. Chadwick would be de- pended upon to make the end runs for the team
 In Glass place at right guard on the varsity the coachers are undecided as 10 whether they will play Hamlin or Ioss. Hamlin was in the place in the open practice and Goss was there in the secret practice. The injury of the alter is fast getting better and he will ,e in good shape Saturday Olcott will play left guard and left tackle will be paved by either Goss or Hamlin. de- 5Aulles was given great deal of prac- { Ice in kicking yesterday both punts { md drop kicks. He punted well, and ut of five attempts for goal from the I leld he succeeded once. He will do all I he bunting in the game with Prince z on. Bloomer tore through the varsity I inc yesterday twice, the first time be- I ng for run of forty yards. Rafferty f md Ferguson were at the end of the | Inc, Hogan and Francis were the f ackles, Hamlin and Johnson were at t ,uard, Holt was in his old place at cen- f CT and Matcalf was at quarter-ba r early all the half. When the kicking q vas done deSaulles went in.
 This afternoon will take place the last neup before the game and @ large lumber of students will be on hand to heer the men. Glass was on the side n mes yesterday afternoon an interested T pectator during the practice. He was h I his citizens clOthers and looked O 1uch more fit to enter a hard game | !
