MANY. COACHES
NOW AT YALE
Former Gridiron Stars of Old Eli on
Hand to Help Stop
Harvard.

New Haven. Conn. Nov. lS-Return-
ing from a seashore Sunday from Green
witch in time for morning Rotations to-
day and this afternoon the Yale foot
ball men enjoyed a variation from their
daily Yale field practice by running on
formations for two hours in the new
baseball cage Scrimmaging was not
possible. practically every member OF
the squad being tender and lame from
the gruellng Princeton game of Satur-
day, but the coaches picked up the task
Of reconstructing Yale's attack for the
Harvard game of next SATURDAY. and vi
bolstcring up the defense.
For plugging the holes in the rush line
Foster Sanford. creator OF fales de-
tense for two decades. has been sum
moned, and his activity with the center
men to-day should result in such as
saults on the Yale rush line as were
seen last Saturday proving impossible
again. Tom Shevlin was here to Illus
trate his varied wing shift attack. and
some of the plays are likely to figure
more extensively against Harvard than
they did against Princeton, where they
were used but little.
Other visiting coaches included the vet
eran Walter Camp. DO" OlCott. head
coach at New York University: Dewitt
Cochrane. George Adee. Bob Loree. and
Clarence Alcott. Questions of team
changes were left for the coaches Coun-
ell this evening, and it is unlikely that
the permanent composition of the eleven
against Harvard will be decided until
Friday.
Head Coach Howe said tonight that
no changes whatever had been decided
upon. He asserted that the team had
come through the Princeton game in
excellent condition. save slight individ-
ual lamenesses, and should round into
perfect form by the middle of the week
when scrimmaging will be tried for two
days. He was delighted with the cold
weather, which is great factor in
rounding the players back into form.
The squad was to-day reOrganlZed for
the final week of the season. just three
complete elevens being left. and the
training table has been reorganized at
the Hotel Taft. 1t is likely that the
back field. which will start the game
against Harvard will be Capt. Spalding.
Philbin, and Flynn. and that Pumpelly,
despite his clever field goal kicking Sat
urday. will be reserved for similar crises
against Harvard.
Wheeler and LOTUS will scramble for
the quarter back place all the week, and
Arnold is most likely to be given right
guard. as Pendleton has a muscle bruise.
HARRISON resumed practice to-day. and
is a bare possibility for the position.

EASTERN MEETS
F. TECHNICAL TO-DAY
Light Blue and White Eleven Will
Fight for Second Place
in Series.

Eastern High Schools football team
will clash with the Technical eleven at
Union League Park to-day, the game
starting at $3.50 o'clock.
Coach Mccartney will make but one
change in his lineup, that of sending
Powell to left end in place of Reilly.
The Light Blue and White outfit is con-
fident of victory, as a win over the
Manual Trainers will assure it of second
place in the series.
Technical will outweigh Eastern but
what the Eastern team lacks In weight
it will more than make up for In speed.
While many claim that the Blacksmiths
will defeat the Capitol Hill eleven, 1t
will take a better Tech team than was
defeated by Central to defeat Eastern.
The Tech team will take the field con-
fdent of winning and will play a hard
game The same officials will run the
game, namely, Mr.. Gass, referee; Mr.
Nielsen. umpire, and Mr.. Wood, head
linesman.

Dartmouth, which was admitted to the
league last year, has also been given
a place on the executive committee,
thereby emitting it to a full voice in the

The furnishing of officials by the
league for all the games was SO sue
cessful last year that it has been made

Ithaca, y. Y. Nov. 1s.-There will be
no changes in the lineup of the Cornell
football team in preparation for the
game with Penn. according to the an
nouncement OF Head Coach Sharpe this
afternoon, at the conclusion of a long
conference and blackboard talk with the
players.
The team held no outdoor practice
today because few of the men could
get away from their cIassroms at one
time.
Beginning tomorrow the football team
will open up series of scrimmages with
the freshman and scrub elevens, and
these will last all through the week, as
the Ithacans have no game scheduled
