Changes Made In
 Yale First Team
Coach Field Displeased With Showing of w. Howe and Francis Drops Them
 From Varsity

New Haven, Oct. 1S-Head Coach Field hurled bomb into the ranks of the Yale varsity players yesterday afternoon, when the contemplated change which was rumored several days ago was made in the lineup. Coach Field and his corps of assist ants are much displeased with the playing of several of the regulars, and as result it is probable that Satur- days lineup against the West Point eleven will contain several new faces.
 The coaches are determined to over come the constant fumbling which has marred the daily scrimmages, and af- ter repeated warnings to the regulars they decided to make the changes. Some of the changes came as a sur prise, but the placing of Childs, cap tain of the track team, at right guard in place of Francis was not an un- expected move. Francis was shifted over to right end in Bill Howe's posi- ton.
 The lineup was changed continually yesterday afternoon in an effort to get men in positions best suited to their playing. Bill Howe's work has not been up to the standard demand ed by the coaches and he was sent back to the second team. Although the change is not permanent it is probable that he will not take part in the Army game on Saturday if Childs makes good. Cooney, who has been out of the game, was in his gridiron togs and played center. He did we'll in that position.
 The good work of Freeman, half back on the second team, has earned him a trial with the varsity, and he was placed with tke first eleven yes terday afternoon. The other backs were Anderson and Spalding. Phil bin, who has been out of the game, returned and got some practice with the varsity He remained on the field for a short time, and showed that he may be able to play in the West Point contest Cooney will act as first substitute for Ketcham, the reg ular center,
 Paul, last years tackle, was placed back in, his old position by Coach Field, who got him out for practice. In the early part of the season he was injured, and since then has not had his football togs on. He showed up well, and will appear in the var sity lineup on Saturday. Arthur Howe, captain of the EQis and Scully and McDevitt did some light practice, and then were sent off the field to rest up for the Army game. They will not indulge in any strenuous Work until the latter part of the week.
 Only one touchdown was made in the scrimmage which followed the sig nal formations and bunting practice, and that was scored by the varsity. The scrubs had the ball twice on the ten-yard line, but could not tally. The backs rushed the ball down the field and brought it down to the scrubs twenty-yard line. Al tumble lost the ball to the scrubs. After an exchange of punts Anderson made an end run, bringing the oval to the ten-yard line. Freeman, who played in Spalddng's place, took the ball over for touchdown
 A formidable array of coaches are helping to put the team through it's paces. The coaches included John Field, Buck Morris, Walter Camp, Ar thur Brides, Dr. William T. Bull, De Witt Cochrane, Ted Lilley, Paul Vee- der and Howard Jones'. The varsity lineup follows:
