NEW HAVEN. October 24-The prac-
tice Of the Yale foot ball squad yesterday
showed clearly that the coaches have
learned a lesson from the defeat at West
Point Saturday. There was little mourn

In a matter of fact way as one Of the
seasons incidents. But the weaknesses
disclosed at West Point were the subject
Of long and earnest coaching yesterday.
The playing of the linemen caused COM
plete surprise, and great emphasis was
laid yesterday on this work.
George Foster Sanford was on hand
yesterday. and every player who did not
take part in Saturdays game had the
benefit of his vigorous coaching. Sanford

coaches believe that Saturdays play
should have been better.
The necessity for more end, quarterback
and ba -kfield material resulted in three
changes. Baker. the speedy varsity man
Of last year, was out in uniform, jogging
about the field, and every effort will be
made to get him In condition. His speed
and experience against Princeton last
year make him most valuable in a green
backfield and he probably will be used
by the time OF the Brown game. Dunn.
