New Haven, Nov. I2.-Before another
small army Of coaches the Yale football
eleven put in short but rather stiff prac-
tice. to-day. The scrlmmage lasted only
half an hour, but the varsity ran up p
points and gave a good indication of a
strong defence by twice holding the
scrub for downs inside the 20-yard line.
The Yale backs continued to tumble,
not frequently, but often enough to cause
the coaches much serious concern. Phil
bin again offended while Cornell and
Flynn showed the same tendency, which
the coaches are making every effort 10
curb II is an individual fault, however,
for the individual player to overcome. 1t
may prove disastrous in the two big
games now at hand. Several changes Of
importance were made to-day. Perhaps
the most significant was moving Gallauer
from end to tackle, his old position, where
he played last year.
There were two reasons for this Cal
lauer's end play has fallen off this year.
while Yale's stock Of available tackles
has dwindled considerably. Two early
season tackles, HARRISON and Pendleton,
have been made over into guards and It
was felt that Gallauer would be more
useful in enc Of those positions. lie stin
may be used at end but his presence
there is not so necessary since the return
of Bomeisler TO the game to-day, and the
good showing made by Sheldon and Car
ter
Bomeiser was back in the scrimmage
for the first time since the Holy Cross
game. Howe said tonight he was rather
against playing him on Saturday but
might il he was in good condition.
Flynn rested this afternoon as did
Ketcham. The latter has played more
regularly than anybody on the team.
Sheldon had recitatons and was unable
to get out, while Talbot did not play in
the scrimmage. Bunny Warren taking
his place at tackle. Another tackle who
has steadily been coming 10 the front Is
w. Baker. He has worked hard and
quietly all year and is now showing signs
Of ability Marrying worked in Ketcham's
place. He is considered close 10 Ketcham
as a centre, and plays the same style Of
game. Read worked both at guard and
centre.
LOTUS. who suffered a broken finger
early i'm the season, was back again and
may earn a place. Cornish, the quarter
back. also reported. He said that his
ankle did not bother him. but after a
short scrimmage he limped considerably
and Howe does not believe he will be able
to play before the Harvard game. Cornish
was first choice for quarterback before his
injury.
Howe used the following men in the
signal drill and scrimmage to-day: Ends
Avery and Bom6iser, Carter and Gle;
tackles. w. Warren and II. Warren;
Gallauer and ". Baker; guards, Pendle-
Ton and Cooney; Read, Arnold and Mad
zen; centre, Marrying and Read; quarter
back. Wheeler Cornell, Dyer, LOTUS,
Cornish: backs, Phllbin, Spalding, Pun
pelly. Markle, r. Baker, Beckett Dietz
and Castles.
Wheeler has the call over the other
quarterbacks and will start against
Princeton. unless the unexpected happens.
I'm speaking Of the team Howe said to-
night:
THE eleven certainly is not so far ad-
vanced as IT should be. l regard the
week of enforced lay-off as wholly re-
spOnsible for the slight backwardness In
form, but without any regrets for the
course we then pursued. We are going
10 try 10 make up that week In the next
two with all the coaches on hand we can
conveniently use"
Howe showed no signs of being especial
~ worried over the outcome Of the games
with Princeton and Harvard. II occurred
TO him that Yale mught be beaten but he
was not ready 70 believe IT.
The coaches here to-day were; Ted
Coy, Ted Lllley, Tom Shevlin, Walter
Camp, George Foster Sanford. Jack Field,
Frank Butterworth, Guy Hutchinson,
Pop Corey, Ford Johnson, Ed. Glass, Ed.
Goss, Ralph Bloomer and BUS Brown.
