Yale football team was at his post to-day,
ready for the most important week of the

Harvard on Saturday. 1t was thought

The coaches were plainly disappointed
over the teams showing against Prince

coach. and Captain Spalding expected

think Yale will profit in much the same
way.

Romeisler was the only player who ala
not do some work to-day. He was worn
mt by the play on Saturday, because he
had had so little work since the Holy
Cross game, early in October Every |
other man took part in the signal drlll' |
the team lining up exactly as against
Princeton. except that Gallauer was at
end in Bomeisler's place. Avery was the !

Cooney and Pendleton, guards; Ketcham |
centre; Wheeler, quarterback; Phioin |
and spaldlng. halfbacks. and Flynn, full |
back.
g. Foster Sanford took the forwards IN |
hand and had them fighting each other |
on breaking through and charging for a |
while. Besides this work there was con- |
siderable place kicking-Flynn, Philbin, |
Talbot and Pendleton taking turns at |
trying for goals Yale has been working |
up this part of the attack to consider |

a surer method for a long chance to score
than drop kicking.
Herbison worked out with the squad.
The coaches would like 10 play him at
guard, but his ankle is so stiff that Howe
does not believe he will be of any use
even by Saturday Cornish is in the
same boat.
Among the visiting coaches here to-day
were G. Foster Sanford, Tom Shevlin,
Walter Camp. Clarence Alcott, George
Adee, Bob Loree and Dewitt Cochrane.

Cambridge. Mass, Nov. lS.-There was
nightly little football on Soldiers Field
to-day. The Harvard regulars had day
on. but the second team was busy work
ing up the Yale plays to use against the
varsity in scrimmage. The men came
out OF the Dartmouth game in first class
condition. in spite of the hard playing 10
which they were subjected. They will
have two hard sessions tomorrow and
Wednesday. On Thursday only the line
men will be at Soldiers Field, as Percy
Haughton and most of the coaches will
take the backs. kickers, ends and one or
two centre men down to New Haven for
practice on Yale Field. This over, the
men will return to New London, Conu,

-Ihe Harvard team in the Dartmouth
game showed improvement, although it
took long time to get going. Late in
the game the speed was too much for the
much heavier Hanover eleven, and the
Cambridge coaches hope that history will
repeat itself on Saturday.
The most encouraging thing in the Dart
mouth game was the work OF Driscoll at
right guard He is one of the heaviest
players Harvard has, and early in the
season ,.,s slated for a regular place at
guard. He was hurt, however. and while
away from the varsity team Trumbull
did so well that the coaches favored him,
until a heavy cold gave DTiscoli a chance.
Harvard is concerned about Harry
Gardner, who was late In getting speed
into the team. showing last years ten
denotes to hold up the play by changing
signals. The Cambridge players feel mono
TOO well toward Dartmouth, which played
"A rough game in the stadium, much
more so than usually has been the case in
this annual match in which splendid feel
ing has prevailed. Next fall Harvard
will not try to play through such hard
schedule. and II would not be at all sur
