ANDRUS NOW OUT.
Giant Guard Develops Blood Poisoning Just Before Great
 West Point Game.
CAPT. BURCH NOT TO PLAY
Goebel Only Lneman Who Will Be Ready to Play Against Army To-
 day--Logan Sprains Ankle.

Last evening at about o'clock, the Yale football team with the regular backs, but only one of the regular line- men who is able to play, left for New York, where the men will stop at the Murray Hill and today go up to West Point. Goebel will be the only reGu- lar lineman who will be able to play against West Point and the hopes of the university are centered in the backfeld.
 Yale will be in the unique position of playing a big game without its cap- tain, a thing which has not happened in great many years. Captain Burch will go with the team, but will not be in the lineup, Yesterday he appeared at the field with his arm in a sling, and all hopes of his playing were immedi- ately given up.
 But more serious injury than that to Captain Burch was made public yes terday afternoon when 1t was announc- ed that the Yale team would have 10 play without Andrus, tho loft guard on the varsity. Andrus Is suffering from a bad case of blood poisoning and will be unable to play today and will be out of the practice for at least a week This leaves in the line, Goebel, who is a regular tackle, and Riddle, who with Hyde Is in contest for the center posi- ton Fitzpatrick is at left end. In place of Hobbs at left tackle, Iilley will play Brown will play In place of Andrus and Riddle will start at center In place of Cooney at right tackle will he Richard son who in practice this week replaced Hobbs at tackle. Goebel will he in his new position and Is expected 10 in spire the Yale fans with confidence, At right end will be Naedel an entirely new man. Logan would take the posi- ton. 1t had been decided but he de- yeloped A sprained anlsle at the field yesterday afternoon and was debarred.
 It is In Yale's backfeld that the hopes of the students rest and princt- pally in the quarterback Fred Murphy. Murphy never played in the position until a week ago when he was sent in in the second half of the Holy Cross game. During the week he has devel- oped the ability which may win tho game. He is the equal of any quar- terback Yale hos had with the possi- ble exception of Tad Jones, according to the opinion of Guy Fl. Hutchison.
 Philbin will start the game at left half back, but he Is not in good form and probably be replaced by Wheat on, Wheaton Is counted upon, if tho West Point line Is approached within 70 yards, of kicking a goal from the f1eld... Brides will play at right half back, and can be counted on through out the game. His new ability to sarry the ball makes Ysle's hopes of winning the game stronger than they would be undsr ordinary conditions. Coy will he in at fdllback, and though he has not yet shown his last years form 1t Is ex- pected that he win develop something of the ability he showed in the game last year against Princeton.
 While 1t was probably not inten- tional, all the many coaches which have been around here during the past week deserted the Yale team yesterday with the exception of Rev. Dr. Cutter and last years all Americans, Biglow Jones and Atoott These four remain cd with the team and last night accom- panied 1t 10 West Point
