Yale coaches. which lasted all Sunday

and Meriden brought them here hurriedly.
and the eleven ran off signals and were
taught plays yesterday afternoon In 'ex-
actly the same playing order as the team
faced Princeton, except that Fitzpatrick
rested and Bomeisler was used at left
end.
Shevlin's plan of teaching the flew for
nations will allow two days of scrimmage
work this week, while only one had been
possible under the plan of the eleven not
reporting until today. The scrub was
drilled in the Harvard attack and the
varsity also had some work In defensive
formations.
The freshman eleven has been ordered
out to meet the varsity along with the
scrub. Tom Shevlin says that It win take

The feeling runs high among the players
and coaches and is gaining ground among
the undergraduates that Yale is going to
defeat Harvard. According to the coaches.
the plays shown against Princeton, which
proved so successful. are only a small
proportion Of what Yale really has. Tom
Shevlin states that there Is a variation
to the wing shift that is much more pow
erful: that one type of game was developed
to defeat Princeton. and it succeeded:
that another and better style is still in
reserve for Harvard. and that it will sue
coed in its purpose.
There was much amusement among the
players and coaches in their dressing
room when 1t was stated that Capt Hart
OF Princeton. having heard Of Shevlin's
new play, sent man out west to learn a
def nse. and that Hurry-Up Yost at
tempted to give one, but with what sue
cess the Princeton game is proof.
Capt. DAILY tol the men to forget all
about the Princeton victory and to devote
all energies toward the game next Satur-
day: that 1t was no time to celebrate. but
to delay it until Yale had defeated Har-
ward. The only results OF the Princeton
victory so far as discernible were to send
the men to work with greater vim and
sterner determination.
