New Haven, Oct. 2S.-Nith number Of varsity
players nursing injuries and others resting after
the game with Villanova, the Yale coaches did not
have many reserve men left after lining up two
elevens this afternoon. Three changes made
in order to try out promising candidates who have
been showing varsity calibre recently. Beebe, who
has worked his way up from the third eleven in
two years. tried at left end. The coaches have
been watching him closely for some time, and II
he continues to play well as he did to-day he
may get in of the big games.
Buster" Brown who played guard on the fresh
team last year. and who has played In that
position on the varsity in several games this year
first substitute. moved to tackle to-day, in
the absence of Paige, who may be out of the game
for two weeks Brown showed to such good ad-
vantage in the practice that Ralph Kinney, who is
coaching the tackles. expressed himself well pleased
Brown is a natural player and is likely to GUST
Pop Foster as first substitute If he does not sup
plant Paige.
The third change consisted OF playing Bobby
Burch behind the line. He looked the
best end at Yale last fall until injured. and
playing at right end in practice this year up to two
weeks ago, when he met with slight injury, which
has kept him out of the lineup. Foster Rockwell.
head coach last year paid special attention 10 him
to-day. Burch's work crude but promising.
He made the only touchdown scored by the regu-
lars He may be chosen next years captain.

Princeton, N. J., Oct 2S,-The Princeton coaches
announced day that practice will be held
each day this week until O'Clock. when the gates
will be thrown open. The work of the squad this
afternoon was of light nature. Few Of the regu-
lars reported. After signal drill a scrimmage
held between the substitutes and the scrub IN
which the latter team allowed TO keep the ball
the entire time. MacFadyen the only regular
player in tho lineup. The scrub directed most Of
their line plays against him. but he held well.
