New Haven, Nov 2O.-Yale resumed her
usual practice work to-day. following the
disappointing Princeton game on Saturday.
The squad has taken the defeat eXcellently.
There has been no wailing and gnashing OF
teeth. The men simply say they were
licked. that's all. The undergraduates
seem to be more behind. the team since the
defeat than before, and they feel strongly
that the better team was licked by the
fortunes Of the new game There is real
dissatisfaction over the result Of the game,
and some Of the players said to-day they
would rather he defeated and feel defeated
than simply have the wrong end of the
score against them.
The general cry is now to take II out on
Harvard next Saturday. and there is no
doubt that the team will play much
harder and more desperate game than
would have been the case If they had de-
feated Princeton. The whole team feels II
has something to retrieve next SATURDAY,
and that a decisive defeat of Harvard
would go a long way toward accomplishing

Captain Howe said to-day that Yale
might have not any more sCrimmage work
and certainly not for over a few minutes
at a time. II is evident that the men need
rest more than anything else. This is es-
necially true in the case Of Howe. who IS
slightly overtrained. 1t is believed he was

would have been more brilliant. Howe is
slightly tense and drawn, but is not in
such condition that a short rest would not
