most advantageously. If he can do this and steady his passing to quarter, 1t will be interesting to compute the num- Der of foot-tons force his moving weight will produce
 Tad Jones, at quarterback, is a tech- nician absolutely His ability to pull off runs of his own is well known and he can drive a team at it's top speed. His fumbling, which was greatly dwelt on in the accounts of the Army game of 1906, was eradicated later and there seems to be no reason for its recurrence this year. Should any injury incapaci- tate Jones, Dimes can fill his place more than satisfactorily. Really Dimes qualities are complementary to those of Jones' As a strategist he is fully the equal of the latter. If Jones is right" this year, it is my prediction that at the end of the season of 1907 his repu- tation will be as scintillant as that of any quarter in the history of the game.
 Bomar, who played in the Harvard game last year, is a strong defensive back, and an effective line borer. He is inclined to run wild and blindly at times, but standardization as it were, should mitigate this fault.
 Berger is fair punter, a good sec- ondary defensive man and an ordinary end-turner. He has never realized his possibilities and with plenty of season. ing and experience ought to surprise even himself.
 Coy, a brother of Sher Coy of Gordon Browns wonderful eleven, is a back of promise. His kicking is excellent, though cratic at times, and in medi- ocre form, and he is a good average man at line-b breaking and defensive play His inexperience is against him and there is great room for develop ment.
 To the casual observer, so far the line is roseate but a close inspection develops many clements of weakness. The substitute line material is greatly deficient, with a few exceptions. If injury deprives Yale of the services of a first string man the descent will be. not to a slightly inferior man, but to a light. inexperienced man. Dunbar, Bidlle and Foster are men who do not come within this classification and all are valuable in different ways. Under the further development of the new football they may prove more so. This phase of the situation may be altered by the coming out of more big men or the improvement of men already on the squad. There is certainly a chance for tbe latter.
 | The different sets of backs are all very green and liable to unsteadiness. 1 At first sight it seemed that there were three or four combinations of full and halves equally promising. Since the scrimmage started on Wednesday many faults have cropped out and it will require a deal of coaching, plan- ming and shifting to evolve the most | effective trio. The problem will be a hard one to solve and will retard the development of team play until its so- ready to absorb new plays until they
 have mastered the technique of their respective positions.
 Scholarship complications have in-
 tervened in the case of Bridges, last ] years guard, and others may follow. Brides may recover his eligibility, but ! at present is under the ban. 1 At present it seems that the team
 must be built up around Biglow and
 Paige. Cohesion must exist, and con
 tinuity of development. As a matter
 of course stellar qualities of the in- i dividual must be merged in team ef- ] fectiveness.
 1 The difficulties may be summed up as green backs, a more or less green line dt must be remembered that varsity football is vastly different from freshman) and lack of compe- tent substitute material. To pro- duce a championship eleven Yale must !
