New Haven, Nov. 6.-Careless hand
ling Of the ball and mix-up in signals
which marked Yale's playing yesterday
were entirely eliminated to-day, and the
football team HAD a snort and satisfactory
practice The varsity minus Lefty
Flynn. who had Rotations. scored twen-
ty-one points to the scrubs nothing in
thirty minute period.
The regulars played a good game Of
fensively, and all of the backs, Spaldins
I'm particular. made several fine line
plunges for good gains. On the defence
they showed the same stubbornness which
has been one Of the best characteristics
all season, and the scrub was able TO
make only one first down and never got
nearer than the varsity 45-yard line.
Bomeisler and Gallauer. the star ends.
worked with the regulars in the signal
drill Both were excused from the heavy
work There is a chance that Bomeisler
will play in the Brown game for few
minutes. Gallauer is ready, and will be In
his regular place. Cornell and Wheeler
Pendleton were the guards.
In the scrimmage spalding scored the
first touchdown wholly by his own good
efforts and practically unaided. He car
ried the bail half the length Of the field,
smashing either side Of the line for gains
Of from six to ten yards at a time Phil
bin helped by two good plunges and
kicked the goal.
Wheeler replaced Cornell az quarter
after this and Philbin scored the second
touchdown on short gain at right end
after both he and Spalding had made sew
eral plunges averaging about seven yards
each Pendleton kicked the goal. The
third touchdown, with Dyer at quarter
back, came harder The substitutes were
in the backfield and they were barely
able 10 make their distances. Marlae
squeezed across the line and kicked the
goal.
The play was of the type the coaches
believe will be most effective in the big
games, and Of the type adhered to all
season. Line-spnt and skin-tackle plays
were used for the greater part, with occa-
sional guard and centre dives.
Mitchell, Of the scrub. ran one kickoff
back twenty-five yards. This player is
showing considerable ability in broken
field work and almost daily makes such
run against the varsity.
Howe has started work on Alec Ham
mer. a scrub quarterback, to take the
place Of LOTUS, who is out Of the game
for the remainder of the season with
fractured finger. Hammer has been doing
fairly we'll and was allowed to run the
varsity to-day in the closing minutes Of
play.
1t is barely possible that Yale will abol-
ish the direct pass from centre to the
backs to a certain degree in the big
games. Some Of the coaches are object
ing To it. While it saves time IT is consid-
cred too dangerous; in case the back miss
es tie pass or the centre passes poorly
the opposing ends have a fine chance 70
get the ball as Sam White, Of Princeton,
did last year.
Baker took Flynns place in the back
field to-day Pumpelly has charley
horse" and did not report.
II was learned on good authority here
tonight that the Harvard team will
spend the night before the Yale game at
the Mohican Hotel in New London, to
avoid the New Haven crowds. Ticket APP
plications for the Yale-Harvard game
closed tonight, and the management re-
ports that more seats have been applied
for. even under, tse more stringent rules,
than ever before.
The following coaches. many Of whom
are working especially with the quarter
backs, were on hand to-day: Walter
Camp, Tom shevlin. Ted Coy, Carl Elan
ders. George Adee, PA" Corbin. Guy
Hutchinson, Burr Chamberlain and Ralph
BloOmer.
Howe used the following players as
regulars and first substitutes: Avery,
Gallauer, Sheldon. Carter and GLE, ends;
Talbot, w. Warren and II. Warren
tackles; Arnold, Pendleton, Cooney ana
Madden, guards; Ketcham and Read, CEN
