THE CRIDIR0N
Great Shakspp in tie Yale Team Was Made By the Coaches
 Yesterday.

New Haven, Nov 17.--At leas, four changes in the Yale eleven are likely before the Yale-Haryard game Saturday. Captain Burch is almost certain to take his former position at right end instead of Coy, and Kill patrick and Coy will probably divide left end instead of Haines. Coy will be used to receive forward passes when played at end and to do the distance bunting and the heavy plunging when used at fullback. XII, patrick has played fullback till this year and Is therefore equally at home at end or in the back field.
 Hobbs will replace Lilley at left tackle. Lilley was unequal to the heavy Princeton attack of Saturday and could hardly be expected to stand up to the Harvard assaults next Saturday At quarterback chances favor Allan Corey holding the posi- tion. Corey was the only one of the three Yale quarters tried Saturday who stemmed the tide of poor passes and inferior generalship.
 In the backfield the coaches tail; of placing Daly at right halfback. They look at the possibility of the game hinging on the possibility of a held goal and, therefore, of reserv- ing Wheaton for the occasion. He is the only dependable drop kicker on the Yale squad.
 The Yale eleven went Sunday to Hastings-on-the-Hudson, the country estate of Dewitt Cochrane, Yale '97, to remain till this afternoon. Coach Biglow planned nothing for yesterday except a tramp through the country. This morning signal drill was had after luncheon the team caught d train for New Haven.
 One reform which may be made in future football as result of Satur- days game is to change the hall whenever it become unfit for play. The ball is changed generally be- tween the halves, but Yale and Princeton men say that had they real ized that there was no rule to pre- vent it, they would have had the water soaked mass changed in the second half of Saturdays game for a suitable oval. Yale and Harvard may agree for their match here Saturday on rule allowing the referee to substitute fit ball for one which is unsuitable, as is done in base ball.
 Johnson, who was kicked in the head Saturday and made groggy, was Detter Sunday. All of the players will be able to practice to-day.
 The Tribune football team would Ike 70 challenge any team in the city or state for a game Thanksgiv- ing day or the following Sunday. brownies, Quakers, Emeralds and Rosebuds take notice. Average weight is 135 pounds. Any of the above teams wishing to accept this challenge please call on William Thompson, Bridge street or Thomas brick. corner of Ridge and Carmen streets before next Sunday. Any other team wishing game for next sunday will be accommodated by calling at any of the above streets between z and 8 o'clock D. m. The Brownies have sidetracked us long enough aLd if they fail to accept 'his challenge they are branded as lot of squealers,

PREHISTORIC FRACTURE
IN SURGEONS Off,

w. H. Reed, the curator at the mu-
scum of the University of Wyoming,
this morning presented to DR.. H. L.
Stevens a fossil of considerable inter.
est to the surgeon. 1t is a part of the
rib of some prehistoric animal which
the curator secured in some of his bone
hunts, showing a fracture and a natu-
raj knitting of the bones. The two
bones overlapped and were Joined by
the addition of new bony material,
making a rather clumsy job but per-
haps satisfactory to the owner of the
rib. DR.. Stevens believes the surgeon
who made such a bungling job at this
time would be prosecuted, but inclines
to the belief that the statute of limita-
ton would operate to W. the opera.
tor of those early days, which were
even longer ago than when Bryan first
wanted to be president.
