New-Haven Conn., Nov. 23.-The Yale var
sity football squad left for Auburndale, Mass
at 1:45 O'Clock this afternoon, and will have no
more practice except signal drill before the
final game with Harvard on Saturday. The
team got a rousins send-off. several hundred
undergraduates marching to the station TO cheer
as the train pulled out
There is still some uncertainty as to whether
the coaches will risk sending in Tod Jones at
quarterback. His ankle is weak and painful
that his play is far below par, and until the
Yale coaches can size up Harvard's strength
they will not be about using the clever
freshman He may start the game, but will
not be used except for short time. 1t de-
cded to-day to play Roome at left halfback
instead of Veeder account Of the formers
star defensive play. but veeder may play part
OF the second half Yale expects to use some
twenty men during the game.
The feeling at Yale tonight over the Har-
ward game is not one of confidence. There was
a scare yesterday when the scrub tandem
scored against the varsity defence, and it IS
still felt that If Harvard is in condition her
tandem with Squires and Brill will make serious
inroads In Yale's territory. Yale coach said
to-day:
Yale will win, think. but either by al small
large score. It may be to 0, If Har-
wards attack is strong and takes up much tirne
thus leaving Yale little time to score in. If the
Crimson team is weak defense. and If Yale
can hold the tandem attack. Yale ought to make
four touchdowns Yale has tremendous scor-
ing machine, and the new plays ought to win in
fast open football do not believe Harvard
can cross Yale's goal line except tumble.
On the other hand, the Harvard tandem being
close and slow, is liable to produce fumbles,
it has all along this year. and in that case Yale
should be quick enough to seize the opportunity.
The Yale nervousness over the game is based
on Harvard's heavy tandem and Yales weak
line defence. To meet Harvards heavy tandem
Yale has been practicing for week ShevIin
may be used on the defence at either guard
behind the line, Morse going to right end in his
place.
Yale's lineup for the Harvard game will be:
Gates left end; Forbes, left tackle Erwin, left
guard; Flanders. centre: Tripp, right guard;
Rfgelow, right tackle; Shevlin, right end; Jones
and Hutchinson quarterbacks; Roome, left half
back; Morse, right halfback, and Finn, full
back.
