FIGHTS FOR POSITIONS
Good Men Ont for Ground Gaining
Placcs-McCormick and SAKE
Banged Up in Scrimmage
-Frnnkel to Play.

The first week OF high school prac-
tice has made It's entry and exit, leav-
ing behind It. what promises to turn
into sharp competition for various po-
sitions on the eleven. The week
opened with the appearance OF mere
handful OF candidates at Yale field and
ended with fully two elevens on the
gridiron. Present Indications, how
ever point TO similar beginning this
week, for although a large number
was present Saturday quite few OF
them will be absent to-day.
The sick list has again come into
evidence, and Mccormick who was
used as a batterlng ram along with
SAKE Saturday. confiscated a fcw coll
ors OF the rainbow and transferred
them to their visages. Both plucky
backs bucked the line until they we're
all in and now bear the marks Of their
campaign. Besides the visible re-
ceipts the two students are pretty well
used up and will probably fail to pre-
sen their physiognomies to-day.
Along with these absentees will be
few Of the New Haven men. who
will center their attention now ir
tackling the Yale exams. The tack
ling process will be reeorted to tol
three consecutive days, and thos'
players will not be able to appear a
the field before Thursday. The coach
ing problem looks very much rosy and
four men have promised TO offer thei,

general rainfall came TO New England,
In many places the wells are running
dry and very serious state OF affairs
confronts the farmers. In many places
II has become necessary to carry wa
ter two miles.
Grass and vegetation have suffered
severely. Water In the lakes has been
receding at the rate OF one inch a
day. Numerous forest fires have start
ed. Many mills have been crippled by
the lack of water supply and others
have been compelled to shut down.
In many places for two or three feet
below the surface there Ia not any
moisture In the ground. Potatoes have
been dug earlier than usual and are
much smaller than In previous years
Cattle have been suffering for lack OF
water and the mills supplying 1t be-
coming limited.
There ia a shortage Of pasture feed
and an absence OF green feed and fod'
der for the cattle
Except for the month Of August thu
