fBy Telegraph To The 4rihune.I
New Haven. oct 1.-The practice OF
Yalc's varsity eleven was light to-day.
Following The strenuous Holy Cross game
on Saturday most Of the regulars who are
assured If places were excused from the
scrimmage work. but following the routine
drill on fundamentals had long signai
practice. The game of Saturday has caused
a few changes in the varsity lineup
Perry. the new right tackle, did such phe-
nomenal work that he displaced Warren
and the change is likely to be permanent.
He is tell. ra1gy, speedy and aggressive
and captain of the wrestling team. NOR
man Read the substitute centre OF last
year. who has been out OF the game with
an injured Shoulder, reported I'm toys to-
day. but did not work. The fight between
him and Ketcham for the regular berth
will be close. Both are unusually good
men IN swapping the TALL.
Waiter Camp, jr.. the end, who has been
out with a lame back, also was on the
field in a suit. but did not play. Galauer,
the regular end. will he out OF the game
for two weeks. He broke two fingers so
badly that the bones came through the
flesh In blocking a punt in the wesleyan
game.
The varsity lined up for signal practice
to-day as follows: d. Bomeisler, left end;
Sculy. left tackle Francis, left guard;
Ketcham, centre: McDevitt. right guard {;

fullback
Immediately after signal practice two
elevens lined up for a fifteen-mlnute scrim-
mage. The first team was composed OF the
best varsity subs and few regulars. The
play was hard, with the first team dis
playing the greater power. Mitchell, An
derson and Church. the first back field, tore
through for great gains-one run OF TWEEN
ty-fve yards by Mitchell and others Of
fifteen and twenty by Church and Ander-
son-but there was no scoring.
Ed Freeman. a substitute halfback Of
last years varsity, played fullback on
the second team. and his work was

the only score Of the afternoon when he
intercepted Mitchelrs forward pass on his
own 25-yard line and ran eighty-fve yards
Tor a TOUCHDOWN. MeTTllt' tIIt iudi
back for the first eleven. ran back punts
brilliantly
The forward pass formation of the Yale
team Is ineffective this year. and the play
is rarely successful. Field the head COACH
spent much time in individual coaching OF
Anderson who If considered most prom
Using. Cooney had his first scrimmage work
at left guard and did well.
The lineup OF the first team during the
scrimmage was: Davis, left end; Tomlin-
son, left tackle; Cooney. left guard; Bron-
son. centre; Childs, right guard: Warren
right tackle; Becker right end: Merritt
quarterback; Anderson. left halfback
Mitchell. right halfback: Church, fullback
About seventy-1ve freshmen reported for
the opening practice to Kister and Strout
coaches. to-day. The squad seems awkward
and has little good material. The coaches
did not even advance so far as the funda-
mentals with them. They will play Willis
ton on Saturday
