Same Old Tale From Yale.

L
With several of the players wearing out
ing caps while running through signals be-
cause they are suffering from grip and
cold in the head. the Yale varsity eleven
spent two hours in light snappy practice,
but without any sermmages, at New Ha-
ven yesterday. Only the lightest kind of
pactice will be held today and the eleven
Will leave for New York this evening.
Neither the coaches nor Murphy. the teams
trainer. is Offering any apology before the
game for the team, because they have
faith in the ability of the eleven but ii is
well recognized that several of the men
are not in the best form for a hard game.
Shevlin was In the lineup Yesterday for
the first time since Saturday. His limp
was still pronounced. He left the field
wearing an overcoat over his sweater and
a hat on his head. Hoyt and Owsley also
wore caps, both suffering from colds There
is no truth in the report that Ortmayer
substitute fullback, suffered a broken col
larbOne Wednesday. He was on the field
In uniform, his injury being only a bruise.
Harvard's Ragged and Listless Play.
The work of the Harvard team at Cam
bridge yesterday was ragged, and the plays
were run off listlessly and with no great at
tempt at a fighting spirit. The varsity
scored three times, but their work was
marred by an excessive number of fumbles,
for which all of the back field were equally
ltSpOHSiDie. Inc QtIenSe or the varsity
was poor, and they were unable to stop the
weak second team from crossing their goal
line. The practice was long, and the men
were worked their hardest. Barney who
played in the West Point game has been
relegated to the freshman squad. Herman
who played quarter on the second kept up
his brilliant work of Wednesday. The var
sity scored by means of straight line
piunges merely, as the coaches are devot-
ing all their energies to strengthening the
offense, realizing that unless the team has
scoring ability 1t will be unable to play
any sort of game at all at Yale Norton
Shaw and Schoelkopf were sent into the
lineup against the second to find any
faults which can be corrected before the
Yale game.
Pennsy's Work Not of the Best.
The weather interfered somewhat with
the practice of the University of Pennsyl-
vania foot ball team yesterday at Phila-
delphia. AS the team has only had a
couple of rainy days all fall to contend

the offense- While some of them were in
the lineup, they were not given the ball
And when they were sent to the dressing
room the substitutes could do nothing
against the scrub. Stevenson was the ex-
ception and he got away for several good
runs.
Smith was the only absentee Lamson
and Greene were out In signal drill, but
did not line up. Piekarski was given a lit
tie work on defense, but was soon replaced
by kase. Zillegen was put In on the var
sity, but the big fellow did not do as well
as usual. Capt Torrey was back at tackle
for change and Taylor played center until
Torrey gave way to Rookie.
There was no attempt made at scoring

he stopped. This was true both of the
