SECOND ELEVEN STRONG
 AGAINST TIE VARSITY Makes One Touchdown to First
 Teams Legitimate r Two. TWO BACKFIELDS USED Wheaton at Field in Uniform, i. But Does Not Enter Scrimmage.
TWO BACKFIELDS USED

The longest, hardest practice of the year so far was held at Yale field yes- terday, when the varsity with its full strength bucked up against the sec- ond eleven, and for long time was unable to push it back. The practice was longer than any half of any reg ulation game could be, and the men were dripping with sweat when It was over.
 The varsity started off with Berger, Philbin and Coy in the backfield, and for over ten minutes the elevens scrimmaged without ,either side being able to make a gain, and with the ad- vantage slightly with the scrub team. Then Burke took Coy's place, Wylie Philbin's and Murphy Berger's, the change in the last position being very advantageous. The varsity, with plunging tactics, pushed its way to the second eleven's ten-yard line, when the scrub team secured the ball and Denny at fullback punted off. Wylie got the ball on the count and carried 1t on a good run to the tffteen-yard line. Dimes, who had taken Jones place at quarterback, gave the ball to Alcott on a long forward pass, and Alcott, whose playing at end has inn proved wonderfully lately, carried the pigskin over the line for a score.
 The ball was then put back on tho scrub team's twenty-five-yard line and the varsity given another chance The toughest kind of line-bucking was tried and the scrub team pushed back, Wylie finally carrying the ball over the line unaided for a touchdown Going back to the scrub teams twenty five-yard line in order that the varsity might have some more prac- tice in this kind of play, Dimes tried to make another forward, pass for a gain, and Hobbs, who was playing right tackle on the second eleven, caught the ball and made 8 siXty-five- yard run down the field for touch down.
 Starting again from the scrub team's twenty-fve-yard line the var sity pushed it's way to the one-yard line, Where the second eleven held it for four downs. Naturally they would have had the ball, but the coaches let the varsity keep it. and Wylie went through for touchdown. This ended the scrimmage.
 Wheaton, Yale's star drop kicker, was at the field in His uniform, but did not enter the scrimmage. His leg is very stiff and it will be some time before he can play.
 The report has been circulated all over the country that shifts in the ends, putting Coy and Brides in these positions, were to be made. There is no truth in this, and the Yale ends, Burch, Alcott, Logan and Howard Jones, are developing finely.
