be no changes in the Yale eleven before
the Princeton game. He ran the eleven
through an hours signal practice yes
terday with the lineup exactly the same
as it has been since the Brown upset
Saturday, with one exception. Andrus
was not at left guard. He has sore
knee. and Buster Brown. formerly right
tackle ''subbed'' for him. Andrus Will
be back today.
The coaches agree that the revolutionary
changes in the lineup made Monday has
given the eleven greater speed than it
has possessed at any time this fall. When
the Shake-up was ordered on Monday II
was generally believed that the action
was taken for the purpose of disciplinlng
the players who played poorly In the
game Saturday According to Head Coach
Bigelow, however, there may be no more
scrmmaging until after the princeton
game. He said that he felt like taking
no more chances of more injuries, ana
has decided not to work the eleven To-Day
except in signal drill.
1t is generally admitted that the play
ers found themselves rather hne' alter
the game with Brown. and that the neeo
of rest has seemed to increase every
day this week. BY Saturday the eleven
will be in great fighting trim, 1t is eX-
pected and the wisdom of Head Coach
Bigelow in ordering two days rest IN
stead of a let-down of only one Gay De-

Harvard Plays in Mud.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. November IL
The Harvard foot ball team was put
through stiff practice yesterday after
noon in pouring rain. Owing to the wet
and slippery condition of the field, the
actual scrimmage was shorter than had

Two Changes on Navy Team.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 12-The
navy coaches had the opportunity of try
ing yesterday afternoon against the scrub
team a new lineup with which the team
has been running through the signals
during the first part of the week. Jones
replaced Cobb at left end, while Clay
filled Jones old place at left half back
1t is thought that the change will work
we'll, and that the strength of the Navy
team will be greatly increased. Clay
played half back in some of the opening
games and proved himself one of the
best end runners at the academy. but
Dalton secured the place by virtue of his
fine punting. However, Clay appears to
be too good a man to lose, ana putting
him back on the team will prove popu-
lar move. Jones is a good back. but is
likely to make a better end. He is a
good defensive player and the best man
on the team in getting man out Of the
way OF the runner. Left end has been
a problem since Robertson broke his col
lar bone two weeks ago, but the present
shift looks like good solution of it.
There was a secret signal practice in
the early part of the afternoon, and then
the public was admitted while the regu-
lars opposed the scrubs. The scrubs re-
ceived every advantage. and were repeat
eddy allowed to hold the ball, but were
able to make any material gains on the
regulars. All of the regular players were
i'm the lineup and the team appears to
have been benefited by the rest since
Saturday, and worked with fine spirit.
