Yale Team Worked Hard With Scrubs.
Yale's varsity scored safety and clean
touchdown in a short but hard practice
game against the scrub" at New Haven
yesterday afternoon. The coaches showed
Yae's new offense with Kinney carrying
the ball. The big guard seems to have been
aroused to show the strength of his 2l5
pounds. In number of plays when he
did not carry the ball. he was brought back
to make interference for Stevenson, Leav-
enworth Flynn, the backs, who made
long gains by clinging to him.
Stewart, substitute end. was moved to
right tackle the varsity team. He was
used to caFy the ball.
In secret practice, the coaches drilled the
team on signals for the new formations
and when the open work began the var
sity eleven seemed to be playing with a
wholly new set of number signals. That
the coaches pleased with the varsity
offenSe is clearly evident, but the defense
is not yet up to championship form.
When the varsity kicked off to the
scrubs Roome returned the punt to Stew
enson. Using Stewart to carry the ball,
the varsity hammered their way to the
scrubs fifteen yard line. Hutchinson
tried a quarterback kick and Roome, who
caught it, was forced back over the line
for safety. The ball was given to the
scrubs on the twenty-five yard line. They
carried the leather twenty yards, but could
not cross the 'varsitys last five yards of
ground.
With whirlwind speed Hutchinson dashed
the varsity Offense into gruelling action.
A quarterback run of thirty yards by
Hutchinson, followed by Kinney in guards
back and halfback end run plays, in a
trice had the ball over the scrubs g" goal
line in record time.
Second Team Pushed Harvard at Will.
The practice of the Harvard foot ball play
ers was full of snap and ginger at Cam
for the most part was not up to the average.
In the scrimmage, in which each side scored
touchdown. the varsity team was pushed
all over the field by the substitute eleven,
held for downs and scored on by straight
playing.
Parker, the big freshman who played left
guard In the Pennsylvania game, has a
slight touch of tonsiitis and will not be
out until Thursday. When he returns he
will be played at center instead of guard.
Capt. Hurley was out in toga, doing light
work. but he did not go into the scrim-
IMAGES. Other men worked were Oveson,
Mills Leary and Derby. There was an
other shift in the ends, Montgomery going
in at right end and Jones being moved over
to the left side
Randall who was reported to have left
the squad account of being dsgruntled
because he did not get into the Pennsyl-
vania game. was on the field again yester-
day, playing for time at left end on the
varsity. He explained his absence from the
field Monday on the ground that he was
out of Cambridge on urgent business.
The coaches out were Malcolm Donald,
who looked after the tackles Lewis and
Russell, who worked with the centers and
guards; Buster Burnett, who coached
the centers in passing the ball; Cochrane
and Cabot who drilled the ends, and Car!
Marshall, John Dunlop, Bob Herman and
Wrightington. who drove the backs.
]. F. Derby of New York has been elected
captain of the Harvard freshman foot bail
team. He came from Groton School, where
he played for two years. He Is right half
back on the eleven, and is a fast, hard
player.
V. F. Jewett has been elected captain of
| the Harvard senior class foot ball team.
Pennsy Took Only Light Work.
The University of Pennsylvania foot ball
squad started in at regular work again yes
terday afternoon at Philadelphia. The play
ers who started the Harvard contest were
only given light work, but the substitutes
land scrub men were put through the regu-
lar scrimmage practice. With the exception
of Lamson and Smith. all the varsity men
were in suits. The latter is at his home
and Lamson was out of the practice on ac-
count of a bruised foot. The other men
played around a little with ''pigskin" and
then made several circuits Of the cinder
| track. A signal drill was not even INDUCED
in. A complete rest. both physically and
| mentally. is the object of the coaches. so
as to prevent a slump, which they fear may
come for Saturdays contest.
Smith is expected back for the Lafayette
game, but 4amson will probably not play
against his old college team. Rookie will
doubtless play right tackle, and Zilligen,
who was yesterday promoted to the varsity
squad, will also be available for this game.
His work In the scrimmage game yesterday
was good. Especially was he strong in car
rying the ball.
| The varsity substitutes took all the
blunt of yesterdays work for the var
sity. Capt. Torrey followed them in their
signal drill and also watched closely the
scrimmage game with the scrubs The SUBJ
stitutes did even better in this game than
the varsity usually does. The scrubs were
unable to make more than two first downs,
and the substitutes never were held for
downs, and. aside from two fumbles, their
days work was very satisfactory. In quick
| order they scored twice on the scrubs, w.
Hollenback making the first touchdown and
Corson the second.
