FAST SCRIMMAGB
 AT YALE FIELD Rockwell and Veeder Again Guide Scrubs Against
 Varsity. THREE SCORES SECURED Princeton Tactics Keep the First Team Guessing
 for a Time.
THREE SCORES SECURED

The development of team work on the part of the members of the Yale eleven was the object of the coaches at the field yesterday rather than te run up high score on the second eleven, and at the close of yesterdays practlce the team showed marked inc provement along this line.
 There were plenty of coaches to give the members of the eleven points and before and after the twenty min. ute scrimmage the players had indi. vidual coaching. Bomar and Rirlow m particular had considerable coach- ing in kicking from placement.
 Among the coaches at the field ves. terday afternoon were Charles Rafrer- ty Ralph Bloomer, Jack Gates Ed Glass, Dewitt Cochran, Carl Flandera. Foster Rockwell, Phil Smith, Frank Butterworth, Paul Veeder, Johnnie Hall and Head Coach Knox.
 Foster Rockwell as on the previoug day, played at quarterback with vee- der to help him in the backfeId. Yee- der and Rockwell used the Princeton tactics and for a time kept the 'var- sity from making any decisive gains. Then Wylie, Bride and Coy, who were the backs on the varsity, with Dimes at quarter, were given the ball one after another for long gains.
 Bomar was in the scrimmage for a while at first, and played a fast and steady game, his place being taken by Philbin Coy was supplanted by 1 Wylie, veeder harassed the varsity several times by short kicks. iust touching the top of the ball with his foot and sending his whole eleven after 1t.
 | Line bucking was used almost ex.l clusively for gains by the varsity Early in the play, by short gains, tfk first team reached the 1O-yard line and Brides went over with the ball, l Wylie later made touchdown in the same manner. A third touchdowu was made by Congdon, who ran around the end catching the ball on 4 forward pass and distancing all purs suers. The second eleven did not score:
 The lineup of "Wednesday was in general followed Congdon and Gon- ney alternated at center and right guard, Goebel having been given q days rest by the coaches. Foster played at left tackle in Paige's place and it is probable that the latter will not be in the Brown game Saturday. Brides played halfback through the entire scrimmage and in addition to tearing up the line of the second eleven, made several good tackles. one landing Rockwell, and twice re- covered the ball for the varsity on a second eleven tumble, The shifting Of Brides to left halfback will probably be permanent.
 This afternoon there will be light practice to get the men in condition for the game against Brown to-mor- row The lineup yesterday:

The game at Cleveland Park last
Sunday between the Parker BIakes, OF
New Orleans, and the Napoleonvilles
proved to be rather tame, the Assump-
tionites plainly showing their lack oil
practice, both in fielding and hitting,
while the druggists performed in their
usual fine style. Zehner carried of the
batting honors with two triples and
a single, and A. Claverie got double
that would have netted another base
had he cared to try for it. Wallace
Prejean umpired, and at the conclusion
of the game the score looked like this:

Batteries-Leon Ford and Burns; Aucoin,

There will be game tomorrow aft
ernoon between the Reliances and The
Birds, teams composed of candidate
for positions on this seasons Pelicans,
and as there is deal OF good
natured rivalry between the COMPETE
tors, the contest should be fully worth
the price of admission, which has been
fixed at 10 cents.
What promises to be good exhibit
ton will take place here on Wednes.
day, March q, when the New Orleans
Southern League club and the Alex
andria Gulf Coast League team will
come together in test of strength.
The line-u ups have not been definitely
announced, but Manager Auslet of
Alexandria is authority for the state
ment that New Orleans will have some
of its best men and will pitch either
Crystal or Long, while he announces
Weeks and Allen as his twirlers, and
says they will have team behind
them sufficiently strong to take the
measure of the Southern Leaguers.
The Pelicans will probably play
their first game on Easter Sunday, if
the team can be whipped into shape by
that time, as the man agement is deter
mined not to open the season until a
club that can cope with the best is or
ganized. Several professionals are be-
ing correspondent with, and it is prob
able that arrangements will be made
with one of them to come in next week
and take charge of the squad, and
then the real work will begin. They
are all good men and experienced ball
players, among them being a third
baseman at present coaching college
team and a second baseman who is
managing team in northern league
that doesn't get under way until May.
A number of likely youngsters who are
trying for the local team will make the
older players hustle to hold their jobs,
and with a good man to coach them
in hitting and team work, bunch
should be picked that will hold its
own with any club.
