NO TROUBLE OYER GAME
Yale and HarUard Not at,Odds Con-
ceyming Football Officials.
IBy Telegraph to The Trloune.l

New Haven. Oct. 16-The Yale football
coaches are confident that every detail relative
to the Harvard game will be settled amlcably
at the next conference, which may be held in
Springfield this week Knox head coach of the
Yale eleven, said to-day that there was no hitch
or deadlock in the negotiations and that as soon
as the football association officials at Yale and
Harvard have discussed the details which were
brought up at Springfield and left without agree
ment they be disposed of.
The Yale faculty is keenly interested in the
conference, for the reform element is decidedly
aggressive and the alert for any unsatis-
factory management OF athletics, especially in
the details of the biggest football games Of the
year.
Knox said tonight that Yale and Harvard
will not make a move toward framing and sign
ing new general athletic agreement before the
coming football game. This makes il certain,
according TO present indications, that the game
will be played with each university putting for
ward an eleven according TO it's own eligibility
rules without regard to the rules in existence
at the other university. Such a condition Of
affairs has not existed in two decades. yet Har
ward has shown no disposition 10 arrange new
eligibility or general athletic agreement.
In the practice to-day Denny, fullback on the
second team. dslocatcd his nose and will be out
Of the game several days. The scrub scored
on the varsity Berger taking the ball over for
a touchdown after Hobbs, the former Dart,
mouth tackle, had fooled the first team on
double pass for 3O-yard Phbn and
Burke scored for the varsity after the regulars
had penetrated the scrub line for irresistible
gains. Tad Jones helped toward the second
touchdown with 30-yard run.
