Tackle Scuhy May
 Be Out For Year
Veteran Yale Lineman Has COncussiOn of Brain as Re-
 suit of Collision

New Haven, Nov. 1-Jim Scully, Yale's stellar tackle, proves to have been more severely hurt Monday than was at first believed. The shock of his collision with Dan Tomlinson, an- other tackle, produced a slight con- cuSiOn of the brain. Instead of his resuming practice in three or four days, Head Coach Field said last night that he saw DO hope for. Scully to figure in the Brown match next Sat urday a week, and he stated that 1t is improbable that he will play agadn this season. Scully is resting com fortably at the New Haven general hospital, but should be able to leave it in two or three days.
 Two more injures, although slight, swelled the list yesterday when Bron- son, centre, and Church, full back, of the reserves received cut heads. Head Coach Field said that the hospital list had increased to the largest number though the injuries are all such that complete recovery is possible in three Or four weeks. As the gridirOn sea- son will close within that time the re- flection is inadequate Solace for the Yale coaches.
 No Yale regular is free from injur- ieS Or none has not been in the hos pital within a fortnight.
 Plans of the coaches were shifted yesterday when they decided to order secret practice this week. They clos ed the gates yesterday afternoon and announced that they would be closed daily till Saturdays game.
 Although it was possible to muster only an eleven of substitutes, forty minutes of scrimmaging of the steeple- chase variety was reeled off Plays which were taught the regulars dur ing the evening practice last week were revealed in scimmaging. The coaches admitted themselves pleased because the Varsity galloped inces- sanity down the field, scoring three touchdowns and one field goal. Cap tain Howe, whom the coaches have de- cided to use occasionally in practice, thereby reversing another plank of their platform as recently announced, ran the Varsity during he enire prac- tice. It was his first scrimmage prac- tice in three weeks at the head of the regulars. He furnished the fireworks of the practice by breaking free, af- ter catching a punt, and leaping back forty yards. His field goal was from the 30-yard line.
 The injuiry to Scully compelled a shakeup of the tackle positions and it was decided to send Perry from right to left of the line and to give Char ley Paul nlS OlQ pldce at TiSHC ldchie Dunn and Sheldon, the pony ends, were used, Dunn's work proving es- pecialy satisfactory. He has been re- gently shifted from halfback. Spald- ing, McDevitt, and Howe, who only recently left the hospital, were the only first string men in the lineup.
 Following the scrimmage a long drill and goal kicking from the field, with the rival rush lines in action, were attempted. protective forma- tion known as ::Foster Sanford's hu- man basket, was arranged to hold the scrubs safe. Pete Francis, who was injured Monday, came out of re- tirement long enough to try a few field goals, all of which he missed. Capt. Howe ended the practice by kicking four goals in five trials.
 Read, formerly centre, and Childs, the injured guard. practiced with the scrubs for the first time. Childs ex- poets to return to the play for the Brown game. Read hopes to figure in the final matches of the season. Yale is short of centres. Last night Head Coach Field said that Ketcham's s ankle was in bad shape and that Loree would play as snap back Satur day.
