Yale Men Disappointed
At Failure to Win

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. 2s.-It was
a great disappointment TO Yale men
here that their varsity eleven could
not win against Harvard. This years
team had been regarded as one Of un-
usual strength. and had been taught
more football than any in recent years.
Twenty-nine former players of distinc-
tion assisted lead Coach Field in de-
veloping the eleven.
Before the Princeton game the team
had been regarded rs having n strong
defense. and n was exre'ted shat the
offense today would lie mad. brilliant
by individual players.
The crowd before the brlletin boards
of newspaper offices here were never
larger, and the progress of the garac
was eagerly followed. When the no
score result was announced the crowds
quietly nelted away.

Navy Team to Receive
Reception by Friends

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. Nov. 26.-The VIC
tory Of the Naval Academy team over
the West Point lads yesterday gives the
friends Of the sea-service eleven more
than Usual satisfaction. and q big recep-
ton Is being planned for this after
room, when the football party will ar
rive. Out of respect for the Sabbath,
there will be no demonstration in the
city, but the players and coaches will
be given an informal reception when
they reach Bancroft Hail. Later the
regard of the brigade will be expressed
in some more formal way.
Not only are the members of the
Navy contingent delighted over the fact
that their team won the deciding game
of the series, but they are claiming that
the Navy team Of this year should be
ranked with Princeton. at the top Of
the heap. In view of the Navy's tie
game with the Tigers and the Army's
decisive victory over Yale, it is not
seen how the Navy can be placed below
any team in the country.
1t is also felt that at least four men
on the Navy team should be cons.d-
cred for the All-Amertca team. Captain
Dalton is held to be the best punter
Of the year and a terrific line smasher.
Brown. left tackle, and Howe, right
positions. while Gilchrist is believed to
be a star among the ends. Gilchrist
played quarterback yesterday on the Of
1ensive, but his regular position is on
end, and he played there when West
Point had the ball.
The Navy will lose four players by
graduation: Captain Dalton, who played
left halfback; Hamilton. left end !;
Weems CENTER and Wakeman, left
guard. All of the remaining regulars
are from the third class and will be
second classmen next season. AS there
will be no member of next seasons
class who was regular player this sea-
son, the necessity may arise of either
selecting a substitute or a member OF
the next lower class

The defensive systems were much

Yale Field Will
Have Better Drainage

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 26.-Among
the changes to be made in the football
field at Yale will be the raising of the
grade of the field to improve the drain

be raised foot and the grade will

edges will be six to ten inches lower
