 New Haven, Sept 25.-Work at the Yale field yesterday afternoon was not under the best of conditions, light rain falling that made the field slip pery. The men did not seem to mind the adverse circumstances and put Tn a solid afternoons work. Morning practice was begun yesterday for the backs under Frank Butterworth and Captain Chadwick. The afternoon work was more extended than usual and slightly out of the usual program. The first half hour was spent with the dummy, after which the entire squad was set at. routine work. The line men were sent down the field under the ball and the backs set at forming interter- ence on the run. The scrimmage be- tween the varsity and college teams took the shape of two short halves. h the first half the varsity and college teams took the ball at the center or the field. By successive line plunges in which the guards and tackles were worked to good advantage the ball was carried to the college line without any marked losses by the varsity line. The college team proved a strong one on the offensive, and with McMahon, who hurdled the line, carried the ball to the 'yarsity's one-yard line, where the var sity made good and won out. The new men out yesterday were Allen. Lord, Hall, sHoyt, Freeman, Stein. Mitchell, Petry, Gallagher and Harrington.

A num- ber of new men reported yesterday. 1t Is not certain that Graydon will be at his old position this fall on account of the lack of tackle material. Al Still man, who was substitute fullback on the 1900 team, yesterday expressed his determination to come out on Monday. Hurley. the freshman halfback, who played such a star game last fall, was also out for the first time.

 1t is announced that the University of Pennsylvania football players will wear khaki suits this season. They think khaki will prove lighter and more durable than other material. This in- novation recalls Harvards' celebrated leather suits at Springfield i'll 1893. which proved a failure and were speed fly discarded. Yale. with just ordinary, everyday canvas, went through the leather suits and won the game, to O.
