New Haven, Nov. 4-Yale's football
team rushed through it's final scrimmage
before the Princeton game on SATURDAY
IN a dripping rain and on a muddy heiu
this afternoon. The coaches believed the
team stood in too dire need of work 10
let the chance slip. All OF the regulars
were in the scrimmage except Phllpin'
who is expected to bear the brunt OF the
attack against Princeton. The play to-
day was almost entirely defensive so lar
as the varsity was concerned.
The practice started with a tmrty-niih-
ute signal drill, with Philbin in the line
I'd, after which he was dropped anu
Pumpeny took his place. The lineup con-
sisted of Avery, left end; Talbot iei'
tackle; Cooney, left guard; hetchaul'
centre; Pendleton, right guard; warren
right tackle; Bomelsler, right end; Wheei-
err quarterback; Pumpelly, left hatoach'
spaldins, right halfback, and Flynn full-
hsrh This js the team which, Howe said
tonight, would start against princeton
with the exception that Philbin would be
back in place OF Pumpelly. Gallauer' VINO
IS suffering from an injury TO his hahd'
may play part of the game.
The scrimmage was wholly try-out Tor
tbe varsity defence, the scrub holding
tba hall. without any regard TO downs
Twice the varsity took II away ana
kicked out OF danger, but finally the SCRUB
got the ball on the varsity 2O-yard Hhe
and scored after about ten minutes ana
several extra downs. The exhibition OF
defensive work was highly satisfactory 10
the coaches.
After the scrimmage the squad came in
early 10 tho cage and worked in hckihg
and passing the ball, the quarteroaeAs
and centres especially. Bomeisler piayeu
all through to-day's scrimmage in flne
style. and in speaking of HIS weak shoul-
der he said
"My shoulder did not bother me to-day
and feel In great condition. The pad IS
helping considerably. and I feel ready 10
play all through the game. ! think
will be all right now and give no further
trouble. and l could stand a good, haId
blow without any danger"
Howe used a good many substitutes
This afternoon, in case they may be need
ed against Princeton Galiauer went IN
for Boreisler, and Carter and Gle also
PLAYED at end. Sheldon may be used
against Princeton. but was not worked
to-day. II. Warren and w Baker suboed
as tackles, Arnold. Madden and Read as
guards, Marting as centre. Cornell and
LOTUS as quarterbacks, and r. Baker
and Markle IN the backfeld.
The team will get some Hght Work al
Yale Field tomorrow. probably nothing
more than a signal practice, and will
leave for New York at 6:45 o'clock in the
evening. Lefty Flynn settled all doubts
as 70 where he prepared, by stating to-
right that he spent Ave years at St.
Pauls School, in Concord, n. H, and one
year (his lasO at Paving School, In New
York, Just before entering Yale
There is a feeling Of confidence every
where about the Yale team. The coaches,
players and undergraduates, and especial
~ the former, are confident OF Yale's
ability in the coming game There is not
the slightest evidence OF worry In the
Yale dressing room after practice, and
nothing but the most exuberant spirits
prevail II means something.
Among the coaches on the field to-day
were Shevlin, Clarence Olcott, Cochran
and Walter Camp.
