New Haven. Nov. 9.-Yale's practice to-
day practically concluded preparation for
what is now considered one Of the most i'm
portant games Of the schedule, that with
Brown. The Providence eleven Is expected
10 play much better football than II showed
against Harvard. The contest will go far
toward determining just what Yale has In
store for Princeton and Harvard The
Brown game has never before assumed
such proportions in the public or under
graduate eye as this year. Arrangements
to handle twenty thousand spectators have
been completed.
The day will be marked by the first ap-
pearance OF seniors in costume. Elaborate
preparations have been made for the antics,
which are in charge of Esmend O'Brien,
son Of ex-Judge Morgan J. OBrien. OF New
York The main scene will illustrate the
present war between Italy and Turkey, with
the taking Of Tripoli. All the great powers
will be represented. side issue Will be a

The general spirit of both players and
coaches has improved remarkably in the
last week Field said everybody on the
team seemed 10 he rounding into good con-
dition the cripples are all recovering. ana
the team is decidedly on an upward trend.
The squad has been drilled In new plays
all week Improvement may come very
fast, but the coaches do not want to see
too much of it on this Saturday.
Work was light to-day. 1t was all done
in secret in the presence OF large crowd
of coaches. The usual routine OF the late
season work was followed. consisting OF
twenty minutes handling Of punts, with the
ends and linemen going down under them;
forty-minute signal practice, and then
long period OF individual coaching. The
scrimmage between the varsity and scrub
lasted only ten minutes. The varsity
scored two touchdowns in the short period
Of play. both OF which were made by Dunn.
A change expected for some time was

other changes in the Yale team, its perma

made by Francis. 1t leaves Yale ends very

squad The coaches expect he will be ready
by the time of the Princeton game. Scully

has slight muscle bruise in the side, but

urday.
The backfeld which will start the Brown
game probably will be Camp, Spalding and
Dunn. Camp has been doing well and will
have a chance on Saturday. Much will de-
pend on the showing Of Dunn. II he comes
up to expecta tions, very knotty question
in the Yale backfield will be satisfactorily
solved Just at present Dunn is regarded
as being the key to the scoring power Of
Yales offence The remainder of the team
is uncertain. but may start as II played to-
day.
