Yale Worked in Secret.
Practice at Yale began yesterday for the
Princeton game. and was held behind clos
ed doors. The scrimmaging inside the gates
lasted only fifteen minutes and was evenly
divided between offense and defense. the
two sets Of backs being used as last week.
The first string consists of Veeder. Morse
and Finn on the defense and the second
string Roome, Stevenson and Levine the
offense. Flanders playing at center was a
biz gain over last week and he now seems
sure OF holding that position in the two
games to come. Forbes and Hockenberger

carefully kept out of possible injuries for

claim that the team is still green, and re-

The next two days will be devoted to the
hardest work OF the year behind closed
gates. and then VIII come two days COM

Reynolds May Join Pennsy.
While Marshall Reynolds. PENIS famous

a peculiar ruling by Dean l evils of the
university law school. did not play In the
game against Harvard. as II was announced
he would. there Is still good chance for
the halfb1ck TO represent his alma mater
in the last games OF the season. Gov.
Peunypacker. IA president of the board of
trustees OF the university. has recommended
that Reynolds be admitted to the course in
the law school that he desires. Should Gov
Pennypacker's recommendation be carried
out power at the university can stop
Reynolds from playing foot ball. as the
great hdlfback is eligible in every sense of
the rules.
The sympathy of the university faculty,

During the practice yesterday the Har-
ward team seemed to be demoralized from
the effects of Saturdays game. The men
fumbled the bag almost every time they
got within striking distance of the goat
line, and were listless in their attack with
the result that gains were short and only
two touchdowns were made. The men who
played most OF the game against Pennsyl-
venia did no heavy work. Montgomery
