LAST PRACTISE FOR
BULLDOG, TEAM
IN HARD Rain
Fifty Coaches Drill Men for
Game with Princeton
Saturday.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 12.-Yale will
send the following doughty football
warriors to do battle against Prince
ton on Saturday, the lineup having
been announced by Head Coach Bige-
low:
Haines, left end; Lilley AND Hobbs,
left tackle; Andrus, left guard; Biddle,
centre; Goebel. right guard; Brides.
right tackle; Coy, right end; Johnson.
quarterback; Philbin, left halfback;
DAILY. right halfback; Field. fullback.
Fifty coaches looked on yesterday
as the men were put through the most
vigorous sort of practise in a driving
rain. Each player received the most
careful instruction and attention, and
there was an enthusiasm about the
work which may spell defeat for the
Tiger eleven. 1t was the gloomiest day
OF the season, but withal one of the
most cheerful from the viewpoint of
the coaches. The varsity was put
through a long signal drill, and hen
there was a scrimmage which tested
the gameness of every player. The
freshmen were found to be standing
the strain of punishment well INC
should be well prepared to meet the
onslaught of the Harvard freshmen on
Saturday,
After some of the liveliest of play the
varsity scored three t%ouchdowns on
the freshmen while the latter team
could not get the ball over the goal
line once. Field, the new fullback,
made the initial touchdown of the aft
ernoon. For ninety yards he ran
through a broken field, also adding an
ntha- foItobdnvyn ~, aapon favriHc linz
plunges. AndrusI wrenched his knee in
signal practise, and Brown was sta
toned at left guard In the scrimmage.
Yale now has one of the greatest
array of coaches. Tom Shevlin is on
hand and takes an active part in drill
ing the men and other recent coaching
acquisitions are Carl Flanders, Clint
Jim Hogan, Ralph Bloomer,
Dewitt Cochran, L. H. Bigelow, Tao
Jones, George Adee, AL Sharpe.
The team will leave tomorrow for
New York. and after the game will
probably go up the Hudson to Dewitt
Cochran's home and stay until the
middle of the week, when they will
come back to New Haven and get
ready for the Harvard game. The
Alumni Weekly, which comes out to-
morrow, does not think the outlook for
winning the game Saturday is very
bright and tomorrow will give an ex-
pert tkiticism of the team which will
play Princeton at Princeton. This is
inferred ing, particularly because even
undergraduates have not seen the
team as 1t is now made up in>a scrim-
mage, and the shake-up early this week
has brought several new men to the
front and has placed veterans in new
positions.
The Weekly says:
THE Yale upset with Brown, and the
knowledge now that Yale's strength
was less han had been advertised, will
drive Princeton to ~hercuean efforts.
Princeton Is today in better shape than
Yale, and her last week of practise,
with the team In a settled condition
and in a sense veterans, because of this
Dartmouth match, will get more out
of it han Yale, owing to the latter's
eleventh-hour and desperate changes.
Both teams appear to have a
stronger defense h a attack, and 1t
would not surprise anyone to see a tie
between these two teams. Yale may be
able to uncover something in his new
form in which she has put her team,
but 1t is not to be denied that the out
look is far from bright for a victory.
This Yale team has the possibilities
of great football and has shown it in
a few widely separated bursts of speed
and power. The coaching has been
good, conscientious and careful. It
seems to be up to the players them
selves to justify their right to Blue
Jerseys"
