New Haven. Oct S0-The Yale hospital
list already large went up with big
1ump to-day. partly as the result of the
practice and partly because Of Saturday $
game Field. the head coach. and Captain
Howe said after the work this afternoon
that they had never seen so many good
men out of the game at the same time on
a Yale football team. The most unfortunate
accident of the season occurred this after
noon. The varsity men were being coached
on getting down the field faster under
punts. a serious fault with the Yale for
wards with scrub backs 10 run back the
ball On one OF these Scully and Tomlin-
son. playing in the tackle position for the
varsity, LED the other Yale forwards, and
both closed IN on the runner from opposite
sides. They made a dive with tremendous
force and speed at the same instant, but
missed the back and crashed headiong INTO
each other.
All play instantly stopped, everybody on
the field rushing to their assistance. as
both were cut and bleeding from the col
lision. After hasty restoratives both men
were rushed in an automobile to the New
Haven Hospital, where the injuries did not
turn out 10 be so serious as appeared at
first glance. Two stitches were needed TO
pull a cash together on Tomlinsons fore
head. while nine stitches were taken in two
cuts, one above and one below Scully's eye.
Both men were severely shaken up and
suffering from nausea because of the shock.
il was said that Scully would be out Of the
play for a week. but Tomlinson said he
would be back in a day or two
After one hours work In speeding up the
eleven in covering kicks, punting and
blocking ends. signal drill was held, and
a long scrimmage followed. The varsity
men played only about fifteen minutes and
scored twice by means Of Spalding and
Mitchell Two important changes were
made. Paul. the star varsity tackle Of the
last two years was moved from right
tackle over TO left guard. Paul has not been
playing his usual strong game at Tackle
and Yale has such a wealth of good ma
terlal for this position that the coaches feel
that Paul will be more useful at guard
where the material is scarcer. Childs IS
out a. present with a lame back, ana the
new combination is expected TO be faster
CAPTAIN Howe went into the scrimmage
