Yale Team Picked
 For Princeton Game
Coaches Decide to Start Dunn at FuiIback and s aiding
 ard Camp as HaIibacks

New Haven, Nov. 17-A rest of three days before the Princeton game has been decreed by the Yale football coaches. Yesterday the worst thing that happened to the players was signal rehearsal, leaving a gap from Wednesday till Saturday, a long time between scrimmages, as the Governor of North Carolina remarked. The coaches expect a grue ling, wearing, exhauSting bout with the Tigers, and figure that gap of three days will not be too long a rest.
 The biggest thing the. coaches did yesterday was 10 settle the team. They stood pat on the lineup which they have ordered daily for two weeks, except that Jesse Spalding gets the plum of right halfback, as everybody expected he would. He lost it only because he was injured, and now that his health has been restored he has been awarded the place for the Prince ton game.
 The decision to send Spalding back to right halfback was discounted, but doubt has been felt about the per manency of Dave Dunn at fullback. Dunn was at fullback only three days before he was assigned a trial there in the Brown game. His work was somewhat crude but powerful. The coaches did not decide, however, till yesterday to start him in the position on Saturday, and even now they are not unanimous for the move.
 Dunn is former end. He formerly explained the New Britain eeven which won the Connecticut interschol- astic championship. Fullback also was the last position on the Yale team to be filled last faN,,>when Kistler was the selection. Dunn is neither as pow erful nor as finished football player as was Fistler. Dunn, however, is a better defensive player.
 The Yale eleven spent two hours on the gridiron, but there was no scrim- maging. There were twenty coaches on hand, and every one raised his voice in the individual coaching criti- cism that preceded the signal line up.
 More than half an hours signal work ming off plays in different parts of the field. This took pace on the fresh man gridirOn, in order that the varsity field might be saved for Saturdays game. The squad, however, went to the varsity gridiron for its bunting Ted Coy, the former captain and head coach; Captain Howe and Walter Camp, IT,, stood side by side and booted the ball for the backs to catch. Coy sent the oval whizzing seventy yards and made life a burden for the backs who tried to catch the skyscrap- CTS. Camp came next with lifts of fifty to fifty-flve yards, and Howe sent his kicks forty-f1ve to fifty yards. The patient, painstaking drill made 1t clear that Yale is to lapse into a punt ing duel on Saturday on the slightest provocatfon.
 Trainer John Mack was delighted on learning that the coaches took his ad vice and ordered no scrfmmagfng. He has the team in the pink of playing form, and thinks that roaring lions will be tame compared with the thirst mess of the Eli players for goals on Saturday. Not a payer has been in jured within a fortnight. and the old bumps have lost all their soreness.
 The undergraduates desire to fur nish rousing demonstration for the players proved to be a frost. Less than 700 members of the university turned out to march to the field, and although this little bunch cheered it. self red in the face and sang itself raw in the throat, the fact could not be hidden that it was not half in size the usual crowd that gives a parting cheer to the players before big game. The Yale Daily News will try today to stir the undergraduates to action.
 Today the players will don their togs and spend half an hour on Yale Field, but the practice will be simply signal rehearsal. The lineup decided upon sends against the Tigers four players who assaulted that team last year Captain Howe, Scully, McDevitt and Paul.
 Francis played aeainst Princeton two years ago as halfbs ok. Of the other six men, Spalding, Camp and Bomeis- Ter were on the freshmen team two seasons ago, but were prevented from playing last year by injuries. Avery was only sub on his freshman team two years ago, as was Dunn, and Ket- cham was center on the freshmen last
