YALE WILL
SPRING NEW
STYLE PLAY
Ellis Expect No Easy Task
in Meeting Harvard
Saturday.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 19-Changes
in the style of play and possibly some
alterations In the lineup may be made
before Yale takes the gridiron IN the stad-
ium next Saturday. Yale coaches think
that Harvard is not to be treated with
the same anesthetic which put the Tigers
to sleep on Saturday. More of a forward
passing game may be expected against the
crimson, but In point of well-miring up
the plays Yale will aim to follow her ex-
ample set in the second half Of the Prince
ton game,
Coy, despite his brilliant end running
and clever lodging, was not himself in
the matter of quick starting and of dis
lance punting. He was outkicked by Har-
Ian much Of the time, and he was SO lax
In getting away quickly that. but for the
interference by Brides, several of his most
successful plays could not have been ex-
ecuted.. Coy will be coached Justify in
these matters during the two days on
which Yale will practise this week.
Yale coaches are bemoaning the COM
dition under which they are compelled to
face Harvard. One of them said yesterday:
IF Yale should win by a fair-sized score
the team would get little credit by most
people. who would point to the
and to the Carlisle scores As Il matter
of fact, Yale has a hard proposition to win

Dartmouth because of the absence OF her
| brilliant regular quarterback, and because
OF much of the luck which is possible un-
der the new rules. No team has stirred
up the Harvard defense much. and Yale
will have a hard task to do it.
The Yale players are becoming dlsillus-
toned about the prospect of beating Har-
ward either easily or by a big score. All
the veterans say from experience that
I i .rxya,I u,alrac Vale NAV harder than
Princeton does to win, and they think
that the Harvard team will round into
shape fast this week. A, technical matter
in which Harvard has been extremely
weak has been her protective formation
for punts. Dartmouth showed this up Sat-
urday. and Harvard has n chance to thor
oughly mend it before she meets Yale.
1t is by no means certain that Paige
will line up for Yale Saturday. His weak
knee proved to be in no condition to with
stand the Princeton attack, and Foster
showed up in such improved form that he
stands the better chance of facing Har-
ward. Congdon's sprained ankle will prob
ably allw him to play Saturday but Dun
bar will be worked and coached carefully
this week in case Congdon should not re-
cover in time to play Saturday.
Thu practise at the Yale Field yesterday
afternoon consisted Of Il clash between the
second eleven and the first varsity sui
s%titutes. The first ~stringmen. who were
exhausted by Saturdays game. were .exi
cused from drill. Today and tomorrow The
coaches mean to work the regulars, espe-
cially on the defense, against Harvard
formations and in two or three Yale plays
which went wrong last Saturday. The
team will get a rousing send-off Thursday
noon, when 1t departs for Its quarters ut
the Woodlawn Park, Auburndale. Mass.
where they will remain till they 20 to
Cambridge Saturday.
