 YALE PLAYERS HUMP Puts Cooney on Second Eleven and Congdon on the
 First.
MURPHY STAR OF THE DAY
Goes Through the Line for Many Gains During Hot
 Scrimmage.

The Yale varsity was put through It's most exacting drill of the season yesterday when Frank S. Butterworth' who was half back on Frank HlnKey 5 elevens, went onto the gridiron ana as sumed full charge of the coachlns, Butterworth kept the men moving all the time, vigorously calling them down for not keeping hold of the ball.
 Soon after he assumed active charge of the coaching Butterworth put Coo ney. Yale,s heavyweight center, over onto the second eleven and shlIteu Congdon to the first. Congdon IS aoout fifty pounds lighter than Cooney' put has been playing first class game while Cooney has been playing very poorly of late. Cooney has not mani- fested the slightest desire to be ag- gressive of late although he has always been good defensive center. Congdon is better on the offense than the de- fense and in addition to his work at center is a plucky tackle. After he was shifted over to the varsity to-day he played first class game, bucking against Cooney for many gains.
 Under Butterworth's careful attention Goebel showed considerable improve ment yesterday In his position at right guard. Brown on the second eleven has been showing up so well lately that if Goebel should not continue to improve, he will get a chance in the varsity line.
 Murphy was the star of the days practice. Encouraged by Senator But terworth he went through the line for gain after gain, always finding a hole in it and making every time ten yards at least. Murphy was in the center of the scrimnage the, whole time and in the whole days practice did not tumble the ball at all
 Twice the varsity eleven scored. The first time Coy punted sixty yards from the varsity's thirty yard line where the first team had been pushed by the second, and Wylie getting the ball on the punt carried 1t over the line for the touchdown. Soon after the elevens had gone back to the center of the field Berger punted about thirty yards and Biglow, getting the ball carried it along for a good gain, but was unable te make a touchdown. After this Berger fumbled the ball several times, and the aggressive work for the rest of thf scrimmage was done by Murphy. Or the five yard line Berger fumbled the ball and Paige picked it up and fumbl ed it again, Denny for the second elev en bunting off, Tad Jones caught i on a fair catch and Murphy in severa runs carried the ball to the one yart line. where the second eleven held thu varsity for two downs, Berger finally carrying it over. Murphy heeled th' ball when it was kicked in and Biglov made an unsuccessful try for a goal The coaches besides Butterworth, wen: Jim Rodgers, Burr Chamberlain, John nie Hall, Carl Flanders, and DeWit Cochran.
