ntnsham gave the Princeton footoail
eleven its last hard workout this AFTER
noon in preparation for the oatue WIN
Yale on Saturday. The practice was iar
more encouraging, as the varsity Clearly
outplayed yThompson's all-star team anu
scored IL points to it's opponents Z. fltz-
patrick decreed that all the veterans
should rest tomorrow and Friday WIN
.he announcement Of this ultimatum' t''e
coaches made the most of the pracuce
and drove the regulars through long
signal drill, followed by a FAST nara
scrimmage.
Earl Waller scored a clean TOUCHDOWN
on straight rushing after a Few minutes
of play. and "Hobey" Baker succeeded III
placing two place kicks between the pos's
before the period ended. Thompson was
the only consistent ground gamer Tor the
scrub The big fullback tore up the
varsity defence repeatedly, tallying the
second teams touchdown practically I'M
aided.
"Goldie" Wight and Andrews started
the practice on the ends, with Trenchard
watching the latter carefully. OF the two
Wight seemed q little the better. He Is
stronger and heavier than Andrews ana
while he lacks speed, "Goldie' is great
man for sizing up plays.
Logan, at right guard, played a strong
game, as did his running mate, Rip
Shenk. The centre OF the line looks SOLID
enough to the coaches, but right tackle
and the ends are the danger spots. PEN
field is likely to occupy the right tackle
berth in place Of Ed Trankman, who has
been out of active work through injuries
for the last month.
In the backfield Pendleton and Baker
alternated at left half as usual, with
dewitt at fullback and Waller at right
half. Emmons and stew" Baker took
turns at running the team Baker has the
call over his lighter rival, for he handles
the team we'll and is valuable man in
the interference.
The team lined up to-day as 1t is almost
sure to take the field against Yale, rs fol-
lows:
Left end Andrews; left tackle, Phillips;
left guard. shenk; centre, Bluethenthal;
right guard, Logan; right tackle, Penfield;
right end, Wight; quarterback, S. Baker;

A host of coaches was on the field

New Haven, Nov 13.-The Yale var
city football team had another short
scrimmage against the scrub to-day.
scoring twenty points in the half hour
work Howe gave every one Of promi-
hence a chance in order TO get a line on
lust how each one was working this week
and to round them out for Princeton on
Saturday. The lineup was changed after
each touchdown, but each succeeding
team managed to squirm across the scrub
line at least once. although the effort re-
CURED TO accomplish this increased con-
siderably with each change. and the dis
lance gained on plays diminished.
Wheeler was in charge of the team at
quarter and there is now no doubt that
he will run the team against Princeton.
HARRISON returned 10 the field to-day, but
hlE ankle was stin and Howe would not
allow him to play in the scrimmage
Cornish also was out, but his ankle was
stiff. Gallauer, after being shifted from
left end to tackle yesterday, was shifted
&c right end in the play this afternoon
The real purpose of the move was to &C
custom Avery TO playing left end. which
he probably will do in case Bomeisler is
selected to start on Saturday. Both
Boneisler and Avery have always played
right end. Lefty Flynn did not report,
but is in fine condition.
Bomeislers shoulder stood the strain OF
another practice and he played with al
his dash and speed.
The team defence is satisfactory to the
coaches, and everything is being done IN
the final practice days to make the at
tack as powerful as possible. There has
been much Improvement in this respect
The PLAYS have gone smoother and power
has been much better applied.
The team viii have Its final scrimmage
tefore the Princeton game tomorrow, and
Will leave for New York after dinner on
Friday night at GAS o'clock. The ma
mass meeting before the Princeton game
was held in the dining hall tonight, with
