New Haven, Oct 1o-Many of the Yale
stars enjoyed rest from scrimmage
work to-day, partly to prevent the daily
routine from getting them stale and
partly in an effort to develop the second
team players TO a higher point
In speaking to Tribune reporter to-
day concerning the different departments
and the work, Howe, the head coach,
said:
"Our main trouble Is still with the
guards and quarterbacks l look upon
the guards as being our weakest point.
We have veteran ends. and while. with
the possible exception of Bomeisler they
do not perform spectacular stunts, they
are consistent and steady and we have
always known what they will do. regard
the tackles as being little ahead of the
guards. They are developing slowly, how
ever, and may never come up to stand-i
ard. or course We have good centres in
backs, Cornish, Cornell, Lotus and Foss,
are perhaps showing all We can expect.
They have made no bad mistakes, but
their work is not yet satisfactory. What
they all need is to get a little wiser from
experience in games. / expect they will
be capable of good work at the end OF
the season. but need lots OF instruction.
have about decided TO pick out some
other men and see what I can find to
develop. We will probably need them.
I'VE are better of in backs than the
other departments. We have fair first
string men but our second string is far
from the standard. Not much can yet be
told OF them because they haven't worked
together much as yet
The practice to-day, after the usual
routine, consisted Of a thirty minute
scrimmage with the scrubs. One change
OF considerable importance was made.
Bunny" Warren, who has hitherto been
playing halfback, was moved UP to tackle
and played in that position on the var
sty to-day. Warren Is stockily built
enough for tackle. and fast enough for
halfback, and the combination ought 10
make him good in his new position. Mar
kle, Castles, Talbot, Flynn, Cornell, Avery
and Galauer were all rested.

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 1D-In one Of the
fastest scrimmages Of this year on os-
borne Field Princeton's varsity eleven
ripped up the scrub team for three hard
earned touchdowns The individual plays
by Pendleton, Waller and "Hobey'
Baker were the features OF the after
moons work. Though somewhat handi-
capped by a slow charging line, the
speedy Tiger backs ran rings around the
second string ends, advancing the ball
almost at will.
Captain Pendleton was in the scrimmag-
ing for only a few minutes this afternoon.
'Tiobey" Baker was shunted over to left
half, while STREET. and Walter completed
the backfield Stew Baker changed po-
sition again, playing quarterback on the
varsity in place Of Emmons. It is likely
that he will start the game on Saturday
I'm this berth, as he showed speed and
good judgment to-day.
Another change was the shifting Of F.
Trenkman to an end position. Treakman
has been playing second string fuilback
all season, but the coaches seem to con-
slider him a find as a forward 7. Swart,
who played a strong game yesterday in
the line, occupied tackle berth on the
scrub, giving e. Trenkman lively time
of IT, De Witt was on the field to-day, 4
but took no part in the scrtmmagtng The
coaches are nursing him along for the
Virginia game, as the visitors are report 1
ed to have q heavy line and first class
set of backs.
