C00NEY BACK AT CENTER

Foster Rockwell, Yale's quarter back in 1903, 1904 and 1905, yester- day afternoon in his old position, put th4 second eleven through the trick plays and the style of the regular plays which Harvard Princeton and Brown have used so far this year in games, and demonstrated to the var sity how these might be overcome He was assisted on the second eleven by Paul Veeder at left halfback, whose loss was one of the most serious Yale suffered at the end Of last year. Rockwell has been to the big games in which Brown Harvard and Princeton, as we'll as the Army and Navy have taken part, and so is we'll acquainted with their method of play on the grtdiron. On their side, the first eleven was coached by Wal ter Camp, Frank $. Butterworth, Johnnie Hall, Carl Flanders, Al Fur guson and Head Coach Billie Knox.
 As soon as the members of the first eleven became acquainted with the methods of RockwQlFs team they blocked the scrubs and time after time I secured the ball for gains.
 Because of the weather, which was the worst the eleven has been up against this year, the practice was held in the Troop A armory instead of at Yale field Once before there has been hard rain on a practice day, but at that time the squad went to the E field Now, however some of the players have slight injuries which useless playing in the rain and mud I might aggravate, and 1t was thought ! better yesterday not to have the men go to the field.
 In the armory it was impossible to : make touchdowns or to make long high , punts but otherwise the large audi 4 torium there afforded first class prac- ! tice field. As fast as the first eleven got the ball down to the scrub teams end of the armory the coaches would ] call the men back to the center of the ' floor A large amount of the time was spent in giving the men special play for the big game, and before and after the scrimmage, the men received indi- $ vidual coaching.
 There were several important shifts in the lineup of the varsity, some of which will probably be permanent, Brides who ten days ago was shifted from left guard, where he had been playing a star game all the fall, to left # end strengthening the line materially, #was yesterday shifted back to left half- back and Howard Jones was put in his old position at end. In his latest pos I ition which is similar to that which & Brides played on the freshman eleven ! and in preparatory school, he made many good gains for the varsity and added weight to the back field Coon Hey, who several days ago was relegat- led to the second eleven and who later was put at left guard on the first, was y'esterday put in his old position at # #center and showed good results for his &temporary absence. He was more az #gressive than he used to be, and his #passes were very accurate. Pop" Fos- #ter, who has alterated with Cooney at #left guard since the shifting of Brides, awas yesterday put back in his old pos 85ition at left tackle, as a substitute for #Paige, who played during the first part 8of the scrimmage Brown, who has Splayed at left tackle for the past week, & went to left guard.
 Coy was in the scrirnmage gain yes- terday at fullback. For the past two 8weeks the coaches have been afraid #that his knee would go back on him Nand Vale would lose it's best punter F4is knee is baked daily to ward off the trouble, and he will probably be in whose knee was pierced with a lead penoil fast Saturday was in the game awhile yesterday as was Paige Mur- phy succeeded Philhin at right half- back, made several holes in the line of the scrub team, Tho lineup yesterday: Varsity Position.
