New Haven. Conn. oct 3l-Secret prac-
tice was resumed at Yale Field to-day and
Will be held every day this week There
IS much work to be done with the team
a. individuals but the point has now been
reached where a more complicated series
OF plays must at least be tried out. The
Welding Of the men into a team can be
done I'm the open. but the development Of
play is reserved for secret work. and II
IS felt this can no longer be delayed with
less tnaE four weeks Of the season left.
While most Of the work was secret, the
gates were thrown open for short clos
Ing practice.
The varsity of to-day bore considerable
resemblance 10 the third team of a few
weeks ago. as most OF the first team men
and first subs are nursing minor injuries.
The varsity scored three touchdowns and
one field goal from the thirty-yard line by
Captain Howe
The scoring power was attributed TO the
presence of Howe. who has been forced 10
rc-enter the scrimmage because Of lack of
cuarterbacks Merritt is permanently out
end Strout is not in good condition Foss
has just returned TO the game and took
his 6rst scrimmage in two weeks with the
second eleven
Paul was moved back TO tackle from
pLard. where he played yesterday. The
injury to Sculy caused the change. Field
said to-day that Scully would not play
before the Brown game, and probably not
until the Princeton game. If this proves
true the contemplated shift of Paul to
guard Will not he carried out.
squad Read took his first scrimmage
on the second eleven at centre to-day
Read has been laid up since the opening
Of the season, and the peculiar hard luck
Of his case caused every possible effort tc
be made 10 allow him to play. After great
work on the scrub last year ne was the
logical candidate to reap the reward and
play on the varsity this season. a wrong
diagnosis of his injury, which proved to
he broken bone, has not only kept him
out Of the game. but probably lost him the
captaincy next year. His special shoulder
brace is said to he working well, but II is
hardly believed he can play this year
Reads anxiety 10 play is almost pitful
AS Ketcham is I'm worse condition than
was AZ first known and Yale has no good
substitute centre, Read may ilay
Childs. the varsity guard, also played
on the second team to-day. His status Is
not yet exactly determined and will largely
depend on his future play. ST Germaine
the Indian guard, replaced him on the
varsity. but is not likely to get the call
Loree will play at centre on Saturday.
At the end Of the practice Captain Howe
and Francis spent twenty minutes drop
kicking. Howe averaged about % per cent
Francis was not so successful.
The new coaches to-day were: George
Foster Sanford. George Adee, Pa" Cor
hin and Howard Jones. The lineup fol-
