New Haven, Oct. 22.-The Yale regulars
who took part in the strenuous work
OF beating West Point last Saturday en-
joyed more rest and did much as they
pleased at Yale Field to-day. The men
are in the best of condition, however, and
all reported for a short signal and forma-
ton drill
Howe made one important announce
ment. He said that the present secret
practice, started shortly after the season
opened, would be continued indefinitely.
This means that nearly all Of the work
for the remainder of the season will be
held behind closed gates.
The practice this afternoon started with
a Commute preliminary drill. during
which the forwards worked at charging
and breaking through, while the backs
practised starts and kicking.
The varsity was excused from the fol-
lowing scrimmage, not only TO rest, but
also to give the coaches more opportunity
TO work with the substitutes. Howe be-
lieves his substitutes are a trifle below
normal. and in case of injury to his reg
ulars the team would be seriously inca
pacitated. With the quantity Of material
on hand It is his intention to develop
practically an entire new team as near
varsity calibre as possible. He used all
Of his first substitutes against the SCRUB
to-day. and the practice was hardly satls-
factory Both teams scrimmaged for 10
minutes before the substitutes were able
10 score The touchdown was made by
Pumpelly on a short line plunge, ana the
same player kicked the goal
PumpeIly's work was the best of any OF
the backs. Beckett also was efficient az
a plunger. Castles fumbled considerably,
and was replaced by Walter Camp, jr.
The substitute forwards were below the
mark They charged high and with little
dash. The ends were good defensiveiy'
but failed to help their tackles enough
on the offence. Wheeler started as quar-
terback, with the substitutes, and later
gave way TO LOTUS. Both ran the team
well. and their work is being carefully
watched by the coaches.
The character Of the play was plain,
straight football. There were no long
runs except when Martin f. Scrubs circled
right end for dash of thirty yards.
After the scrimmage the work consisted
mostly of kicking and individual coach
ing. Howe used the following men as his
first team to-day: Gle and Osborn, ends;
II Warren and Pendleton, tackles; Har-
bison and Thaw, guards; Mcneil, centre;
. Wheeler and LOTUS, quarterbacks Beck
ert and Baker, left guards Castles and
Camp, right halfbacks, and Pumpelly
fullback.
Harvard Captain in Signal Drill.
Cambridge, Mass. oct 22.-An of Har-
wards football regulars, including Cap
tain Wendell, were out for signal practice
to-day. but when the scrimmage began
against the scrub Wendell went TO the
side lines and took Hitchcock and
Storer. tackles, and Parmenter, centre,
with him. The three forwards have
worked like Trojans all the fall, are down
10 lighting weight and welcomed the rest.
The second team was equipped with
series of plays such as Brown may be
expected to use in the stadium on Satur-
day. but the varsity line, even with three
substitutes. was more than a match for
its much lighter opponents. Beebe was
at left tackle and Tom rockingham at
right tackle. These two men will be the
first substitutes unless Cleary is able to
get in the game right away. Armory, the
former second team man, was at centre,
and was active.
lot Of attention was paid to Bradley,
at quarterback. He may be in charge OF
the team against Brown as Gardner will
be at Princeton to watch the Tigers in
action. Logan, who played quarter until
a week ago, has been in the backheid'
but to-day was coached to play end.
In the scrimmage the varsity played on
defence most Of the time. After stop
ping the second team in midfeld the ball
was recovered by the varsity on a
tumble, and a few hard smashes at the
line and & 10 yard romp by Brickley
crossed the scrubs goal line. Shortly
after this Coolidge intercepted a second
team forward pass and made good gain
Then Hardwick broke through for %
wards and the varsity continued TO 10
up the field to secure another touchdown
with line plays.
Wigglesworth. the substitute centre, was
not out neither was Bradlee, the substi-
tute backfeld man. Both have lame
backs and possibly neither will be ready
IN NAV before Harvard meets Princeton
Small hope is entertained that Wendell
