Final practice for the games tomorrow
was light at all the leading universities yes
terday. Yale drove her men a bit. but the
coaches are confident that she will win
easy victory from Columbia. They say the
weaknesses In the teams defense have been
patched up. Columbia is saying little after
the Princeton game, but is not discouraged.
Princeton says she fears overtraining and
is worried over the work of her men, while
Harvard shows her feelings by making
shifts In the line to strengthen 1t and in
| crease its aggressiveness. They appear to
believe Carlisle will give them hard game.
The Indians coaches think they will win.
Pennsylvania is so wrought UP over the
eligibility question which Harvard stirred
that she has scarcely stopped to consider
her chances of coming through the game
with Lafayette.
Quakers Resting UP.
Yesterday the coaches decided that the
Pennsylvania men, who have been working
hard every day since the season opened.
needed rest. and after running through
signals they were sent to the dressing
rooms. Capt. Torrey expects hard game
with DR. Bulls men from Easton, Pa. There
will be no scrimmage work the rest of the
week. The freshman team is being coached
by Marshall Reynolds, ex-captain of this
years team. in the absence of Smith, who
is taking PiekarskiS place, coaching Wash
iEgton and jefferson. The freshmen went
through a hard days work. Sheble of the
freshmen was coached in punting by Rey-
nolds. He has his brothers form, and with
experience ought to make good as varsity
Final Work for Yale.
Yale had her final hard practice befc-e the
Columbia game yesterday behind closed
doors. An important change made in
the lineup, Flanders going to left guard
from center and Hockenberger shifting from
guard to center. This arrangement, it Is
felt, will give greater solidity at center and
give Flanders. who is very active for his
weight. better chance.
Tad Jones was not at quarterback, and
may not get into the Columbia game. He
is first choice now for the final games, and
the coaches are taking great care of him,
| especially as he was thoroughly tired out in
| the West Point game. Hutchinson will play
| in his stead, with Needer at left halfback.
Morse right halfback and Finn fullback. A
second string of backs Will be sent in for
part of the game.
Coach Owisey has invited Coach Reid of
Harvard to see the Yale-Columbia game as
Yale's guest. The eleven will leave for New
York early tonight. There is no expectation
at Yale that the game will make Yale show
much of her hand, and as the line weak
nesses on defense have now been patched
up Yale does not expect any serious gains
by Columbia s back held
Tigers in a Slump.
Princeton is experiencing a slump. In the
secret practice yesterday the work was
Iethargic and unsatisfactory. the coaches
losing patience and raking the men severely.
Fears are expressed for the game with
Dartmouth. The players act as though in
poor condition and are Enthusiastically off
! color.
Against a very weak scrub the varsity
was able to gain. but ends runs and quar-
terback kicks were In order and there was
considerable fumbling.
The impression Is growing that the ability
of the team has been judged too much by
sensational and individual plays and that
1t is not nearly so strong expected. Such
plays do not win championships.
Simons did brilliant work and covered
seventy-five yards on one of his end runs.
Fryer received a bad twist of the leg which
put him out of the practice and will likely
keep him off the gridiron for several days.
Capt. COoney did not play and his injured
leg is troubling him so much that 1t is uri-
likely that he Will face Dartmouth on Sat
| urday. O'Brien is also unlikely to play.
|. Harvard Prepared for Indians.
Harvard practiced yesterday on following
| kicks down the field. Parker was again al
| center, forcing White out. 1t is nearly GER
tain that either Pierce or Burr will play
left guard and Kersberg right.
Other changes were made yesterday.

The punting yesterday shows that Har-

especially, was strong, while Starr played
