New Haven, Nov. 13.-The air of New Haven
IS beginning to take its annual football tinge.
The winding up of the scrmmage practice for
the Princeton game on Saturday, the arrival of
the advance guard of guests. who have come. in
many cases. thousands Of miles to Yale fight
her two great battles of the gridiTon, the nightly
mass meetings in Alumni Hall to sing a new
repertoire of defiant football songs, the final
march to the field with a cheering ovation as Il
boisterous vote OF confidence in the eleven, a
general intermingling IF the Blue with the
Orange and Black in show windows and from
pennant poles, ali bear witness that the eve Of the
great battle has practically arrived. The Yale
eleven is selected, and it is now certain barring
accidents, that the team will line up as follows
Left end, Howard Jones: left tackle. Paige;
left guard, Cooney; centre. Congdon; right
guard, Goebel; right tackle. Captain Bglow;
right end, Alcott; quarterback Tad Jones: left
halfback. Brides right hafback, Bomar; full
back, Coy.
a great step in advance of last years cam
paign has been made in selecting the eleven
three days before the rivals meet Last year
the coaches thought that they had the team
picked, but their way TO the field shifted the
men selected for end rush. The remaining three
days will be devoted to the settlement of the
first substitute places. as far as can be decided
in advance Burch is universally set down as
first choice for substitute end, on either wing
He would be regularly in the lineup except for
recent injuries. For tackle and guard Foster
til! last week, will be first substitutes If Cong
don should be injured it is likely that Cooney
would be moved to centre and Brown Foster
take his place. If both are compelled TO retire
Dunbar. formerly substitute tackle, viii be
played as snapbaCk and Foster at guard. Biddle
is also a prominent candidate for centre and
tackle, and Pggott and Logan are aggressive
understudes for the end positions
Dimes, who has made the race for quarterback
interesting competition for Tad Jones. will
get into both the big games for part OF the time
Berger viii play part of the game as left half
back Murphy at right halfback and Wyle at
fuback. An unusually heavy task falls to Coy
in his punting, for this viii be a large factor in
Yee'S attack.
For the first time since the Brown game the
varsity got a genuine try-out this afternoon
The regulars clashed with the scrub for fifteen
minutes behind closed gates. and after the pub
lie had been admitted met the freshmen for ten
minutes and the second team for fifteen min
utes A single score made against each op-
posing eleven in the open practice. Coy getting
| both. After T. Jones had registered a pretty
30-yard run Bomar opened the line for a dash
to the 1-yard line and Coy took the ball over
A long series of line banging was necessary be
fore Coy could get the second score.
Every member OF the varsity was in line
Paige and Howard Jones working through thirty
minutes of strenuous football in their regular
places The Yale Alumni Weekly" said this
evening in discussing the game that Yale was
strong enough to win on her merits and that
she should defeat the Tigers on Saturday
Il Is unlikely that any scrimmage viii be held
tomorrow for the first eleven. The coaches
plan to send the second string players against
the scrub for fifteen minutes. Paige needs all
the work he can get. owing 10 his long absence
from practice and he VIII be in the play.
