| Wagers are already being freely
made by the loyal supporters of Com
pany As eleven that their team will
pc the first to take a game from the
| plucky Naugatuck boys on Saturday
| AFTERNOON, when these two teams again
line up at the Athletic field. The BOYS
from down the valley are not to be
beaten if what their friends say is
true. They have not lost a game in
two seasons. but have seldom played
off from their own grounds ana al.
though they have team work down to-
perfection the Waterbury eleven viii
practice faithfully this week and
don't you think they WON'T ring in
some team work also. The large
crowd of Naugatuck rooters who are
coming up in a special train will I'M
doubleday prove an interesting tlrong
TO Waterbury audience, who are al
ways very backward in their praises
Tor local teams and seem to fear lest
some one may see them wake up. This
game should certainly go far ahead of
anything ever witnessed on local
grldlrOn and the boys deserve an enor-
nous crowd Of spectators.
New Haven, Nov 12.-Eight coaches
besides Field Coach Swan were N
Yale field yesterday afternoon to
watch the Yale eleven at work. De-
spite their number they did little ex-
cept to advise the men about the finnr
points of line work, and to instruct
the ends in offensive and defensive
work when the fullbacks Kicked. The
greater part of the afternoons play
was in kicking and following the ball
up and down the field. No attempt
was made to rush the ball, although
the respective team half backs were
permitted to attempt to run the ball
back on catches. The ends were or
dered not to tackle the runner with
unnecessary force, and at no stage Of
the practice was the dragging and
hauling of men a feature, like IN the
Bucknel1 game The coaches are fol-
lowing the mandate of Trainer MUIR
ply that the men must be favored in
order to get them back into the physi-
cal trim which they seem to have lost
lin a measure at least.
Captain Chadwick has not been in
the game at all since Saturday, nor
has Metcalf. The latter yesterday
was called upon to attempt a few field
goals. He missed each try. He
seemed discouraged and wanted to
keep on trying, but was sent back to
/ the side lines
Rafferty's head was injured again
yesterday. The rubber and leather
headpiece which he wore with BAN
dages protected him so that the in
i jury was not serious, but it demon
strated that he cannot hope to last
through more than one-half of the
Princeton game. Coffin is being
drilled now to take his place in prefer
ence to Wilhelm. Frank Hinkey
came from Tonawanda to assist in
coaching the ends.
Two of Co1umbia's football players
were badly hurt in practice on Smith
| field yesterday. H. B. Post, substi-
tute end on the team, broke his collar
bone in an attempt to tackle man
! in the manner adopted with the new
| tackling machine invented by William
r. Mnr.ay, the head coach. s. 81.
Sladkus, bottom man In hard
scrimmage, broke his ankle and had
to be removed to st Lulze's hospital.
S1adkus and Post are both ends on the
varsity team, and their absence will
be a severe loss Both are out of the
game for the remainder OF the season.
