! The team started for Meriden tonight
immediately after dinner. The trip was
made in automobile. and because of insult
fcient accommoda lions only the following
sixteen men, who are most likely TO play
against Harvard. were i'll the squad: NH-
patrick Scully Fuller, Morris, McDevitt,
Paul Brooks, Howe, Field, kistler, Savage.

tain DAILY. The men will rest tomorrow,
not attending any Rotations 1t is unde-
cided at present whether the team will re-
turn TO New Haven for signal practice
tomorrow or not. If suitable grounds can

take place there. II not the team viii come
10 Yale Field.
Regarding the lineup against Harvard,
Captain DAILY said the team would take the
field as it faced Princeton. 1t is probable
that several substitutes will go in. Bomeis-
Ter and Vaughan will surely play in the end
positions with Fitzpatrick md Brooks
Reilly will replace kiStIer It fuback, #
only to give the latter res. Kistler's
work has been nothing short OF phenomenal
this week. His plunging has been extreme
~ effective Savage will surely play at
tackle part of the time in place of either
Sculy or Paul.
Like I<istIer the work of Savage has been
unusually good the last week. II is doubt
full If Yale's center trio of Fuller Morris
and McDevitt will he changed. In case of
necessity through injury Francis will play
guard and Reed at centre Francis may
alternate with McDevitt at guard. Because
of Tomlinsons injury Mersereau will be
second substitute tackle but will not play
unless it is necessary Norris will only be
removed through disability. Corey. Reilly.
Baker Deming ana Merritt may all play in
the backfed.
The coaches present at practice TODAY
were Thorne. Camp Shevlin. Hinkev. San
ford. Rora back, Rogers, owsley. Gov and
Holt.
