 lege Teams Began Yesterday.
 New Haven, Sept 23. Interest yes terday at the Yale field centered in the work with the dummy which was used for the first time. From three differ ent distances the linemen and backs were sent at the machine and the re- suits showed that many of the men have lots to learn in the art of bring ing down d runner. The machine used is of the latest type with dum- my that drops instantly when the weight of the tackler is brought to bear on it.
 For the first time the full line was set at breaking through. The back field was not employed at the work, but the ends were sent into active play which was snappy and continued long CT than heretofore. Practice was harder than on any day last week and will be followed up by q scrimmage between the varsity and college teams either to-day or Wednesday. Dr A. H. Sharpe has left town and conse- quently Field Coach Swan and Cap tain Chadwich had entire charge yes terday. The new men out yesterday were Hazen, Knox, Drummond, Batch eldor, Bronson, Curtiss, Owsley and Jack Ward.

 Providence, Sept 23.-The lineup of Browns varsity team yesterday was considerably different from that of last Saturday. Cobb, last years guard, was out for the first time and took the place of >Philbriclz, the new freshman guard Schurin, also of last year $ team, was put in at left end, and Scud- der was put in as quarter in place of Pattee. The work yesterday consisted of about twenty minutes of fast asso- ciation football to give the players bet ter wind, some hard running down un- der the ball and about a half hour of good, snappy signal practice. There were enough men out for three teams, but no .tackling and no scrimmages took place.
 Princeton, Sept 23.-The Tigers squad yesterday afternoon was aug mented to about seventy. The latest arrivals were mostly substitutes on last years eleven, who up to this time have been busy studying for the con- ditionaI examinations. The practice yesterday was the nearest approach the men have had to real football The squad was separated into three divi- sions. Coach Hutchinson and Gresh- am Poe, last years quarter back, had charge of the back field Marshall Mills, the old guard, took the candi- dates for the center positions, and Cap- tain Pell of last years ream had the 1 tackles and ends. The line men did some scrimmage work, but no tackling was allowed.
