HARVARD TEAM READY
Potter Runs Eleven in Short Scrim-
mage, the Last Before Bat
tie Saturday.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November 23.-
The Yale foot ball team had its last prac-
tce OF the season yesterday afternoon,
winding up with the usual song and
dance around the burning pile Of old
shoes, headguards and other foot ball
parap hernalia. AS usual, the men said
it had been a great year. even though
it Is tainted with one big disappointment.
The squad will leave here today at
las o'clock for Auburndale, where 1t will
stay until Saturday morning. The entire
university is planning to turn out and
give the team a rousing sendoff. Defeat
often serves TO bring men closer together.
and tho Princeton defeat has certainly
brought the team and undergraduates
closer together. 1t has been a standing
complaint that Yale victories are no
longer celebrated by bonfres because
they have been too frequent. but there
is no lack OF support now. The players
were all in fine condition last night. and
every one is full Of confidence.
The work yesterday partook of gen
eral finishing. The coaches grasped the
last opportunity for a long and thorough
individual drill This was followed by a
signal practice of half an hour and a
twenty -minute scrimmage with "Sandy's
Pets" a collection of good substitutes
which George Foster Sanford rounded to-
gether No attept was made to score,
the ball being given first to one team and
then another.
After the scrimmage a long kicking
drill was ordered. Camp and Howe did
the punting. with the ends and backs
working out. Howe also did some drop
kicking, while Francis worked at place
ment goals. Then came the war dance
around the sacrif1cial fire to the foot ball
gods, and the work ended. The scrub

meled all year for the sake OF develop
ing the varsity, enjoyed their annual din

Merritt and Stout. quarterback, may ne

Capt Howe was in much better con-
dition last night than he has been for
two days. He said he felt fine. as well as
ever In his life. and he looked 1t. Every
body In New Hoven Is confident OF the
outcome, including the players. and will
be more SO when Capt Howes real condi-
ton is known.
