WORK ON THE GRIDIR0N.
Short Scr5mmage for Columb'o
'Vmsitz-Lack of Substitutes.

rrL e,,,r~,b,. football team had only light
practice yesterday afternoon in prepaia'ioii Aoi
the Yale game on Saturday. with 'he eaiie
against the dark blue less than week OIL INoi
ley will not take chance of tnJur1ns any VI 'iie
men, as the team is already wofully deficient In
good substitutes. Won Saltza' ross anu
Browne were not out yesterday. Browne Is CIV
ing his shoulder rest, and Ross has not yet
recovered from the effects of the game on Sa'ur-
day. Morley said that he had not seen Won
Saltza since the Princeton game IL Is re-
ported that his mother is critically i'll ana tnae
there is a strong probability that he Will not De
able to get in the Yale game
With the squad in it's present condition such
a loss as this TO the team can hardly be over
estimated. This would mean that Carter would
go to fullback and Heinrich to left half. In
case Browne is not able to play at right tackle
it leaves that position with no strong man to
fill it. The candidates Ryan and Esche-
verria, the two substitute guards and Naething,
who is substitute left tackle. Naething, how
ever. is graduate of Yale. and at one time was
q candidate for her football team. Last winter
Naething refused TO wrestIe against his Alma
Mater. and it is believed that he will not play
against her in football.
The practice yesterday indicated that Morley
intends to different tactics against Yale
from those he adopted against Princeton. Car
ter, Collins and Muir all coached In punt
ing. Muir surprised the coaches by getting
away several punts for fifty yards or more.
Carter and Collias both averaged well. Collins
was tried at drop kicking. where he did such
work to Justify the hope that If he can get
within striking distance of the Yale goal posts
he can put one over.
II Collins had more experience 1t is likely that
he would replace Donovan in the Yale game.
AS ii is. few who are following the work of the
teao he a5 inn,
start. He is faster man than Donovan. runs
back punts better and puts more snap and
ginger into the team In the Princeton game 1T
is admitted by all who saw the play that Dono-
used poor judgment especially in the first
half.
There was only five minutes scrimmage work
in the practice yesterday. The scrub kicked off
to the varsity, who took the ball and carried
it over for a touchdown. Both elevens were
then sent through signal drill for the rest OF
the time that they were out. Morley said after
ward that the work was far from satisfactory.
and that he was greatly hampered in develop
ing team by lack of a big squad. The men,
he said, come out for a few days until they see
that there is chance of making the first
eleven. and then retire, leaving the team with a
weak scrub against which to work At no
time this year has the varsity had any diff
Guilty in piercing the scrub line or in stopping
their assaults.
Morley is trying to develop a team that
can last through two halves of game In
every game this year the team has taken a
slump in the second half. Williams, Amherst
and Princeton unable to during the
first half, while at times each of the teams
fairly played Columbia off her feet in the sec
ond.
While the undergraduates are expecting de-
feat at the hands of the New-Haven team they
not looking for the 81 to 0 of last year
the % to of 1903. Much depends
just how the team is able to line UP Saturday.
If Won Saltza and Browne able to play
is not thought that Yale Will roll up than
IS points.
