 ates to Practice Football Song This
 Afternoon.
 After three days rest at Hastings-on- the-Hudson the Yale varsity football team will now begin short but prob ably hard practice in preparation for the Harvard game in this city Satur- day The men are all back in their old time form again and if their condition is as good Saturday as 1t is now there Is no hope for Harvard. It is probable that the lineup wilJ be unchanged Sat urday, but as Head Coach Rockwell said: Tt is possible that Roome may Sel lHlo part or the SdHlC'
 Roome, whose absence from last Sat urday has been frequently commented on, will probably begin the game satur- day, His presence in the Yale backfield makes an infinitely stronger combina- tion, both in offense and defense.
 In warming up before the Princeton game he was in fine shape, and sent high spirals away for distances ranging from fifty to fifty-five yards The same performance next Saturday will enable him to hold his own with Burr of Harvard.
 Harvards crippled squad is gradually rounding into shape, and although four or five of the regulars did not take part in the light practice of Monday, 1t was less because of their injuries than be- cause of Reid's desire to keep liking for the game in each mans mind and have everybody eager to get into things Then, too, it is risky business taking chances with player who is not absolutely right at this late stage of the game, and Reid is ever more cautious than daring in his prepara- ton.
 The Consolidated railway has com pleted the terminal switch atEthe Yale field for handling the big travel satur- day. The switch, which is about 800 feet in length is sunk below the sur face of the street, and after the game the tracks will be covered with crush ed stone so as to be no impeachment to the general travel. The company has a force of men laying anacadam pave ment six inches deep for distance of 800 feet in Derby avenue near the field. This pavement is between Reynolds and Tryon streets,
 The manager of the Harvard varsity football eleven has arranged with the Consolidated railway forispecial cars to meet the squad upon arrival at Union listation, and also to carry them to Yale field on the day of theabig game, next Saturday
 The Crimson squad, numbering forty men, will arrive in New Haven at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and are to be taken at once to the Pequot house, Morris Cove. On Friday the football eleven will spend the dsy in the open air, and indulged in light signal prac- tice.
 Saturday, the day of the game, 8 special double truck car will carry the varsity and substitutes to the Y. NJ. c. IA gymnasium, where they will dress for the big grldiron battle, proceeding l
 direct to the field. Although the Yale-HaFvard game is yet three days away the advance guard of the thousands who will attend the game has already made it's appearance. The visitors were to be seen in num- bers yesterday morning on the campus and the Union depot is the scene of much preliminary activity. Many auto auto parties have already arrived and the town is beginning to assume its autumnal heavy coat of blue,
 The indications are that the attend ance at Saturdays game will be as large as the seating capacity of the stands will allow in their most crowd ed state.
 Congressman and Mrs. Mick" Long worth will be here Saturday to see the Yale-Harvard game. They have bought fine seats on the Harvard side and Nick will help the men from Cambridge to yell. President Roosevelt is Har- ward man and his daughter is loyal to her fathers Alma Mater, even though she is a great admirer of Yale. MT, and Mrs Longworth will come down from Pennington, where they are guests of the presidents sister, Mrs. Cowles, and while in New Haven will be the guests of Congressman and Mrs. N. D. Sperry. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., who is a stu dent at Harvard, will be with the Long, worth party. The party will lunch at the Tontine hotel.
