their fancied security was demonstrated
yesterday in several quarters. There will
be shake-ups all along the line a re-
suit, and the personnel of the leading
elevens will undergo quite a change as
consequence. Yales failure to make the
| expected showing against State College
and the hard game now looked for at West
Point next Saturday has led to the calling
| back to New Haven of host of new
coaches. There were half dozen add
| lions to the corps yesterday and more are
| expected
| The work of BIgelow at right tackle and
| OF Flanders at center was the main cause
| of criticism of the Blue. while one end Of
| the line still bothers those in charge OF
| the eleven. 1t is hard to find man to re-
| place either Of the first two named among
| the light material available for the line,
| and the coaches must content themselves
| with grilling the present players. Gates.
| showed the better form at end ana. Will
| likely be the choice. although lighter than
| Yale men would wish. Tad Jones continues
to lead at quarter back. The defense of
| the Blue Is below par and will receive the
| main attention from this on.
| At West Point in preparation for Yale
there will be light work all week IN an
| effort to get the players into condition
| The hard game with Harvard left the
| cadets pretty sore and. though they need
work, their tenderness does not admit OF
! it. The army coachers are hopeful OF de-
| feating Yale. but sober view OF the situa-
| ton would tend to the belief that the New
Haven men will be primed sufficiently TO
| take care of themselves and probably to
| win by two touchdowns or more
| Walls From Harvard.
At Cambridge there is complaint from
| every one over the failure Of the right
side of the line. The ends are not blamed
! for the runs around them as much as the
| tackles and the whole line Is criticised for
| its lethargy An effort Will be made to inn
| prove its speed. Some fear Is expressed
| over the coming Brown game Saturday.
| hut 1t seems unreasonable In view OF
| Browns showing in Philadelphia, where the
| Providence team was markedly outplayeo
and made its showing on Pennsylvants
| errors rather than on merit OF Its own
| At Princeton there is a disposition to
rest on laurels won. The showing against
| Lafayette is regarded as satisfactory IN
second half This is blamed on condition
| more than anything else. Simon's return

/ seems to be a disposition to accept DlllOn
as a better quarter than Tenney which
! considering the exceller She Phlla-
| delphian augurs unusual ability on the part
| of the youngster. The Columbia game is
| held rather cheaply in Nassaus eyes
Work Cut Out for Quakers.
| Poor Penn seems to have her work cut
out The week will be devoted to correct

+ game There is no complaint OF the de-
| Tense. and it is believed the attack will
| develop in due course. But against the
| Indians they have fearfully hard task.
George Woodruff has his team in excellent
| physical condition and apparently playing
| well together The issue of the game of all
| the matches to be played Saturday Is most
| in doubt
| With most of the players resting oil. the
side lines as the result of their work against
| West Point last Saturday. Harvards var
sty eleven played rather loose foot ball
| yesterday. In spite of frequent fumbling.
| however, three touchdowns We're scored
against the scrubs, showing Harvards Of
| Tense is far from weak this year. One of
| the features of the day was the work of
! Carl Brill the big tackle. Brill's defensive
work was excellent, and he proved a verita-
| BILE battering ram in the charges. Brill Is
| in fine condition this year and Will prove
| a big obstacle to Yale's success when she
| meets Harvard on November % Another
| feature of the practice was the playing of
| Dave, sltbtackle last year at guard on the
! varsity. Davie Is a tall, muscular fellow,
without an ounce of superfiuOus weight on
| his frame. He will receive good trying
out. Pruyn, who played against Yale last
| year. was taken together with Davie and
! two other ends, Bartells and Whitman, to
! the varsity training table last night. Pruyn
may play against Brown On Saturday, for
| O'Bren. the freshman end, has broken his
nose and will probably be unable to play
| for some time. Dan Knowles, All-America
/ tackle in 1903, signalized his appearance as
| full back by making a bad tumble. The
| tumble came on the Seconds two-yard
| line. and Blair, picking it up, ran the length
| of the field for a touchdown.
Tigers Are Sluggish.
After the hard game with Lafayette the
Tigers appeared sluggish in their practice
yesterday. The coaches had to stir them
up in several instances. The men appeared
