YALE CANDIDATES DO GOOD PRACTICE
WORK-HOLT, HOGAN, GLASS AND
CHADWICK To PLAY.

New-Hayen, Conn. Sept Is (SpeciaD-Yale's sec
ond week of football practice closed yesterday with
the first game OF the season with Trinity This
year the usual preliminary hammering of the rud-
ments of the game into the new men has been
largely dispensed with, and scrimmages have been
more frequent than in any previous wear at this
time in the season This has resulted in more
advanced style of play by the first two teams than
had been expected.
The showing made by the candidates thus far has
been satisfactory. and the prospects for the deye-
opment of a strong team early in the wear are
excellent 1t has been Captain Chadwick's plan
to use all of the new men on the second team, In
stead of changing the lineup of the varsity every
day. has usually been the case so that none
of the newcomers have yet had chance TO try
out the first eleven Sixty candidates are now
in the field, and next week third and fourth
eleven will be chosen and played against each other
and against other teams from out of town. In
this way it is intended to keep all of the football
material moving during the entire season Morning
practice with the backheld candidates has also
been instituted. and this will be continued until
the coaches satisfied that the new men are
taking hold of the Yale game.
1t is understood that this year Yale will attempt
to carry out three practical ends in working up the
team, among others. 1t will be year in which the
Yale style of play will be close formations instead
of open field play. The backfeld will be Thoroughly

Yale win rely for her ground gaining on heavy line
attacks, and the drill thus far has borne out this
expectation. Yale will put in the field a weghty
but fast line and set of heavy and plunging bac

To carry out this line 1t will be necessary for Yale
to have an unusually heavy and big set OF men
