 Doing Better Work.
 New Haven. Nov 13.-Yale coaches have drawn up 8 schedule which shows the eleven as picked for the Prince ton and Harvard games, with the sub- stitutes fin order of excellence. The schedule is the final rating of the foot ball squad, and is as follows:
 Rafferty, left end; substitutes, Hare, Hyatt.
 Kinney, left tackle; substitutes, Bis sell. Turner.
 Batchelder, left guard; substitutes, Morton, Flanders. SccR.
 Roraback, center; substitutes, Mor- ton. Scott, Miller.
 Boomer, right guard; substitutes, Morton, Batchelder. Miller.
 Hogan, right tackle; substitutes, Bisse1l. Turner.
 Shevl1n, right end: sustitute, Nea1e
 Rockwell. quarterback; substitutes, Soper, Donahue. ..... >
 Owsley, left halfback; substitutes, Mitchell, Bowman. .---.
 Metcah, right halfback: substitutes, Owsley, Allen. Phipps. Preston. ,.
 Farmer, fullback; substitutes, Hoyt, Bowman. Phipps.
 There is probably little or no possi- bility of change in Yale's rush line between now and the Tiger game. Roraback has been returned to center after experiments with other men, and his worst fault. that of bad passing, to fulIback for punts, has been alleyi- ated by a novel scheme on the part of Rockwell, who now takes the ball on a. regular snapback, and in turn passes if to fullback, who punts.
 This new idea delays the punt some what. but the Eli line is considered to be strong enough to hold on the snap back. The play has the advantage of letting the ends have an extra second or two of time to get down the field and it is practically impossible, with it, to bring about a tumble. And Yale fears more than anything else a fum- ble or dropped ball inside her own 5o- yard lines with the indomitable De Witt there to boost the ball over goal.
 HARVARD DOING BETTER.
 Cambridge, Mass, Nov 13.-Harvard had its last hard practice before the Dartmouth game yesterday afternoon, and everybody except Hurley was on the field. Hurley is just recovering from an attack of tonsilitis, but ne will be able to play. on Saturday. More than POO undergraduates marched to the field yesterday afternoon with band, and cheered for the team and re- hearged the songs for the Yale game. Walter Clarkson. captain of the nine, will be leader of the noise force at the big game, which comes week rom Saturday. The cheering seemed 10 have good effect on the team. Both the offence and the defence worked better. The varsity scored two touchdowns and Marshall kicked a goal from the 28~yard line fin 20-min- ute scrimmage Marshall fumhled badly again yesterday, and other mem bers of the team committed similar of fences. Meier fumbled the pass on the 2-yard line just as the varsity was about to go over for touchdown.
 Princeton, N. J.. Nov 13.-The Tigers had their last football practice 4yester- day before the ale game. The prac- tice consisted of signal work, and Trainer Robinson would not permit the squad to attempt any Scrimmage work whatever. All the coaches were on the field and each player was drilled carefully in his position in each of the plays. The coaches seemed to be sat isfied with the speed of the backs and every one connected with the team appeared to be confident of victory. After the formation work, Vetterlein, Burke, Kafer and Miller practfcad catching punts. point of the game in which the four men have been espe- ciaIly weak Considerable improve ment in this respect was shown yes- terday. Captain DeWitt's drop kick ing was better than at any other time this season. After the practice was over the tackling dummy and players benches were piled up in the middle Of the gridiron and burned while the players and coaches performed an In dian dance around the fire. Last night the undergraduates held a big mass meeting in Alexander hall. The coaches addressed the meeting and the students praciced their songs and cheers. The team left Princeton for New York at 3:5O o'clock this after noon A large number of students will accompany the eleven to New York.
