touches in preparation for the Harvard
game tomorrow. at Yale Field this after
i1ooii- ne men came here from Meriden,

'i'eS' anu he work over. went back again
10 Keep away from the noise and hustle
OF the city which is lveIier than ever on
Ile eve OF the great struggle
Tom Shevlin, Walter Camp. Frank
Hinkey. Jack Owsley. Ted Coy. Harry
Hot. George Foster Sanford, Frank Bu.-
teTworth and George Adee watched the
team run through a short signal and for
nation practice The regulars were used
without any substitution. The men who
Will start the game are Fitzpatrick. left
end Scully, left tackle; Fuller. left guard
Morris centre; McDevitt. right guard;
Paul. right tackle; Brooks, right end;
Howe, quarterback; Field. left haIfback;
Captain DAILY. right halfback; Kistler, full
back
Regarding who would be substituted,
Captain DAILY said It was almost a GER
tainty that both Harry Vaughn and
Bomeisier would play at end, while Il.
Freeman, whose work this week has been
somewhat spectacular, stands an excellent
chance of playing part OF the game at
halfback. Freeman has had little expert
ence, but has shown up exceedingly well.
He is fast and aggressive He approaches
Bakers type of play nearer than any
other half6ack, and if the latter's ankle
still bothers him Freeman will be the one
to go in Greeley is another back of the
same general type. and there is a chance
of his playing for the same reason. Greeley
was fast finding favor among the coaches
until he injured his shoulder.
Reilly and Deming are other possible
backfeld substitutions. Savage is sure of
playing tackle for time, replacing either
Paul or Scully, as occasion may demand.
Tomlinson and Mersereau are next in line
for the tackle position, but with little like
lihood of playing. Francis and Bucking-
ham are the choice for guards. with small
chance of playing. 1t will be Yale's policy
to substitute few men if, as is expected,
a close game results.
Word came from Pennington. where the
Harvard squad is in camp. that the day
was devoted to walking and a short signal
drill and punting practice. No definite an
nouncement was made. but it appeared to
be UNDERSTOOD tnat W enQeIi "ould start tne
game at halfback instead of Ted Frothing-
ham. who has been Ill for three or four
days The players are in fine condition and
quietly confident.
Tom Shevlin. who whipped the Yale team
into condition to defeat Princeton, and who
has been on hand all this week, said: We
have a good Yale chance of winning. After
the game, If win l will have something
to say Our chances are good, but you
can't make a silk purse out of pigs ear
in two weeks, no matter how good the men
may be.
Ted Coy, the head coach, said: 'I think
our chances of winning are good-very
good. l am confident, and everything looks
good TO me-
The excitement and interest in the game
we're never so great. The unprecedented de-
mand for tickets. the uncertainty and the
possibility of a strong Yale comeback
have set everybody on edge
The weather promises TO be clear and
sunny, with a touch of crispness and little
wind
