BURCH LOOKS FOR
HARD CONTEST
WITH HARVARD
Vale Captain Says Crimson Will
Be Tougher Than
Princeton.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 17.-Captaln
Bureh remained here instead of going
to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with most
of the members of the eleven Saturday
night. He has begun training for the
game Saturday with Harvard. Kill
patrick, his fellow end. who has been
laid up with water on the knee, and
he started on the Yale cinder quarter
mile track for practise on distance
running. They logged two miles at a
fair clip before they felt like quitting.
Burch says that his. shoulder is in
| good shape again, and he fully expects
I to start the game against Harvard. XIII
patriek's knee is gradually growing
stronger and, while he cannot expect
to regain his fastest form by Saturday,
he fully expects to play.
How GO you feel About the Yale
Harvard game Saturday," Captain
Burch, OF Yale, was asked.
ut will DO a much harder game for
Yale than the match with Princeton
last Saturday. said the Yale captain.
yale will have a much more difficult
task to win than she had with Prince
ton. It won't do .for Yale to wait for a
second-half rally against Harvard"
Fred Murphy, Dutch" Goebel and
Fred Daily are the only players who
were in the lineup Saturday who are
here. Daily is the only one VINO took
part In the scrimmage between the Sec
ond and third elevens which provided
football at Yale field. Only the players
who felt worn down by Saturdays
game were sent up the Hudson, and
as DAILY and Murphy played only a few
minutes, they had no lee of a layoff,
Goebel insisted hat he was not even
jolted by the thirty-f1ve-minute halves,
and came here to tackle his studies
again.
Head Coach Biglow arrived here in
time to look over the scrubs in Their
scrimmage. He ran the work. With
former Centre R~oraback, they are TAX
ing advantage of the absence of the
varsity to work up material for the
regulars next year They have forbid
den the freshmen to break training, al
though their schedule was closed Satur-
day by their annual match with Har-
yard 1912.
The coaches have not fully decided
yet on the makeup of the team, but
they incline toward trying Ford john
SON at quarterback again. johnson was
kicked in the head at Princeton before
he had a chance to show his merit as
a campaigner, and, although Corey
made good. 1t Is likely that johnson
will get a. trial as first choice.
Indications are that the eleven will
start the final weeks dress rehearsal
today with the following lineup: Left
end, Fitzpatrick and Coy alternating;
left tackle. Hobbs; left guard, Andrus;
centre, Riddle; right guard, Goebel;
right tackle. Brides; right end. Captain
Burch; quarterback, %Johnson; left half
back, Coy and Fitzpatrick, alternating.
Extra precautions are being taken
with the gridiron at Yale Field. 1t Us
heavily covered with straw nightly, and
watchmen are stationed to prevent ac-
cident to the stands.
The advance guard for the Harvard
game Saturday are already here, COM
ing from the game at Princeton Satur-
day, and the hotels are filling up fast.
Accommodations for everything In
town have been tied up for weeks from
family parties here composed of par
ents who came East to visit Yale sons
and who planned to enjoy both the
Yale-Princeton and the Yale-Harvard
games.
