ON THE GRIDIRON
Results of Last Games May Make
Some Changes.

Some CnangeS-
New Haven, Nov 4.-Yale's exhibit
ton against the West Point Cadets
was very disappointing. The coach
es agree that the greatest fault of the
team play is sloWness Metcalf is
chiefly responsible for this. as he hesi-
tates about giving the signals and ham
dies the ball too deliberately. Cap
tain Chadwick says that there is no
reason to feel discouraged, but the rec
ord for the season is already dimmed
by tie game and something must be
done to quicken the eleven up. The
practice yesterday was long and sharp.
The coaches do not expect any trouble
with Bucknell Saturday and will take
up this week the practice of teaching
the second eleven Princeton plays.
Cambridge, Mass, Nov 1.-The game
Harvard played against the Indians
on Saturday brought out the fact that
the Crimsons are still little weak on
the defense, but powerful on the Of
Iense But, judging from the show
ing IN general, the coaches give it as
lhelr opinion that all the team needs
TO correct the faults is a lot of prac-
tlce As vet the final makeup of the
team has not been decided upon. but
another week should see the regular
men who will play against Yale III

weeks Of work in which the team will
be rounded into shape.

most entirely through splendid indi
Yluudl play, and with the ragged and
weak offense, which has of late char
acterlzed their game, they cannot hope

Philadelphia, Nov Awhile every

New York, Nov 4.-The poor physi-
cal condition Of the Columbia PLAYERS
on Saturday was one of the causes that
led to their defeat at the hands Of the
Pennsylvania team. While the Quak-
ers showed a remarkable reversal of
form the Blue and White men at no
stage of the game exhibited the kind
of football they had been accustomed
to do in practice
