New Haven, Oct l6-The hardest work
Of the Yale football squad in preparation
for the West Point game on saturday
was finished to-day, and tomorrow MOTH
ing but light scrimmage or possibly
none at all and no work at all or possibly
only signals for Friday afternoon are the
coaches plans.
The varsity, as It will play on Saturday
with ore or two exceptions, was given
Aftv-uinute scrimmege against the second
team and the freshmen. The SCRUBS played
about thirty minutes. The work OF the
varsity was satisfactory.
Yale has a green team this year which
needs slow and careful grooming, but IN
this week all the regular plan OF deVel-
oUment has been cast TO the winds and
about two weeks work has been crowded
into one. This, combined with the long
trip and a team coached especially for
Yale, makes the game rather hard one
Yale Is the only big team now on the
Army's schedule, as Srinceton and Har-
ward Rave dropped out.
The best part Of the practice OF the last
two days has shown an improvement In
the offensive work Of the line. and paruc-

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 1s-There uas
not very long session Of football in the
Stadium to-day, but what play there was
was fast and furious. The coaches had
figured on a driving scrlmmage between
the Harvard varsity and the regulars,
but later decided 10 send the first team
against the freshmen.
The freshmen were full OF fight, but
were unable TO make much Of an impress
sion on the varsity line. The latter
however, did not show a great deal
against the hrst year men, scoring only
one touchdown.
In the rush line to-day Mcclure was at
right guard, and did so we'll that ne
doubtless will be the choice over With
