iSHEVLIN CANNOT PLAY.
Yale Captain will Not Line Up Against
 Wesleyan To-day.

Wesleyan To-day.
 Captain Tom fShevlin. of the Yale football eleven will be unable to lead his players in the opening game of the season here this afternoon, when the Blue meets Wesleyan, owing to a strained ligament in his leg. Not in ten years has Yale captain before failed to take charge of his men when the opening game of the campaign was fired. Shevlin hopes to be able to line up Saturday against Syracuse.
 It is a remarkable fact that Yale will rely greatly for scoring power to- day upon Bob Forbes, who was the Wesleyan captain a year ago. He will play left tackle for Yale. Forbes It was feared might request not to be sent in against his former team, but he has made no protest and he will be played.
 Roswell Tripp, right guard, has been chosen captain in Shevlin's place till Shevlin can again take charge of the team. He was Shevlin's leading op- ponent for captain in the election last winter. Tripp did not report for prac- tice yesterday because he was busy with scholarship examinations.
 Yale's coaches expect a much harder battle with Wesleyan tomorrow than usual. Coach Bosey Reiter of Prince ton predicted that Yale would not be able to score more than once. The Yale coaches hope for three scores, but do not see their way to getting more than two. Yale welcomes this game because Wesleyan plays the Princeton style of play, taught by Reiter
 Yale's lineup was last night an nounced as follows:
 Left end, Congdon; left tackle, Forbes; left guard, Erwin; center, Flanders; right guard, Tripp, right tackle, Bige- low; right end, Stuart; quarterback, Hutchinson; left half back, Hoyt; right half back, Morse; full back, Finn.
 Yale will probably. use three. sets of backs during the play.
 One of the additions to the squad yes- terday was Count Louis Vallombrosa de Mares, Shelf. junior.

Three Per Cent. Dividend on New Ha-

ven Iron and Steel.
 The annual meeting of the stockhold- CTS of the New Haven Iron & Steel company was held in Camden, N. J., Tuesday. The present directors and of- ficers were elected.
 The report shows that the directors did not declare a dividend two weeks ago. The years profits were not quite equal to two semi-annual dividends of over five per cent. on the $50O,O0O cap ital stock. The one dividend declared during the year was three per cent.
 The present market price of $2.5O for the stock reflects but a little more than the figure ($2.19) which the manage ment figures represents the net quick assets of the company, not including real estate and plant.
 J. E. Schall of this city is general manager of the concern.
