YALE M0URNS TED YORK
President Hadley Conducts
Funeral Services of Player.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune


New Haven, Nov. 1.-The funeral Of
Theodore w. York, the varsity football
guard, took place with all college honors
to-day at the college chapel. The service
was largely attended by the football
players and coaches and members Of the
undergraduate body. All recitations in the
university were suspended during the hour
Of the funeral The services, conducted
Dean Jones, were short but impressive,
Secretary Stokes speaking.
Some beautiful floral tributes were sent
by the Yale football manaeement, the
football squad, the football coaches, the
sophomore class and the Yale Dramatic
Association, of which York was a MEM
Der. Andover, his preparatory school,
also sent tribute. Among the pail
bearers were Coaches Arthur Howe and
Elmer McDevitt. After the ceremony the
body was taken to Portland, Me. accom-
panied by many OF his classmates and
football players. Captain Spaldlng has
received many kilograms from other col
lege football teams conveying their sym
pathy.
In order to forestall future reports, and
some which have already been sent forth,
about the players death being more or
less due to football. the three doctors in
attendance upon York have, through 1.-THE
Yale News" made the statement that not
only was York's death not indirectly due
to football, but that his playing on the
team helped to prolong. his life, in their
opinion.
The active football work will start
again on Monday, and the squad will try
TO forget the unfortunate occurrence in
hard work. Some OF the men have been
told TO take as much exercise as possible
in the mean time to keep In condition. The
absolute rest is not an unmiXed evil, be-
cause the numerous bruises and bad
ankles will have time and opportunity TO
repair. 1t is doubtful II Cornish, the
quarterback, will be able to play again
this season. A muscle attached TO his heel
has been injured, and he is unable TO bear
any weight on his toes and runs stiff and
fiatfooted.

NAVY WINS IN THE RAIN
Beats Western Reserve by
Scoring One Touchdown.

Annapolis, Nov. AFTER having called
of the football game scheduled to be
played here tomorrow between the Navy
and Western Reserve, OF Cleveland, as a
mark OF respect to the memory OF vice.
President Sherman, the Naval Academy
authorities permitted contest to be
played between the two teams this after
noon.
The game, which was won by the mid
shpmen by a score OF Z to 0, was an
unofficial contest, and the members OF
the brigade were not permitted to cheer
appreciation and encouragement OF the
team being restricted to handclappinS.
Pouring rain during the morning soaked
the field, and showers during the contest
added to the players troubles by giving
them wet and slippery ball TO handle.
The only score was made in the second
period, when, after the teams had played
each other to a standstill, the Navy
coaches sent Captain Rhodes into the
backfield for the first time this season.
Replacing Nichols at quarter, he imme-
diately started odd style" line smashing

goal, comprised the only scoring.

Thinks PrinCeton'S System of
End Play Dangerous.
fAVORS HARVARD ELEVEN
Says Crimson Team Has Fair
Chance to Win in Game
at Cambridge.
BY Sol NIetzger.

In a nutshell, this Decentralization
game looks to me to be up to the Tiger
ends and the system Of end play that the
coaches cling 10. II that proves sound,
which doubt, there Is little doubt as 10
the even strength Of the two teams. Har-
ward is strong In the backheld: so Is
Princeton. One finds little to choose be-
tween Captain Wendell, Bricliley and
Hardwick, OF the Crimson, and Captain
Pendleton. "Hobey" Baker, Waller and
dewitt, of the Orange and Black. Each
team has a rush line OF medium grade If
one compares II 70 the Yale set OF for
wards In power and strength, and each.
in turn, is blessed with rare punters and
field goal kckers. Herein will dewitt
and FELTON, do battle under different
plans, the result of which is In doubt.
Thus will the two elevens face each
other and the struggle promises TO be
close and hard fought.
Personally, Harvard looks a shade the
stronger, because of the Princeton style
Of end play, for which ] have no patience,
yet Harvard IS not usually up to top
notch form in this game, whereas the
Tiger is usually rampant when the Grim
son is Haunted, and has been nothing
loath TO trail that proud banner all over
the field by sheer grit or the rare ability
Zone might say to foresee opportunity.
These Tigers have 1t bred in the bone to
win this game by sheer daring, and to-
day they are quite as likely to upset all
ones calculations.
BE that as It may, while Harvard seems

DARTMOUTH STAYS INDOORS
Cavanaugh Goes to Cambridge
to Size Up Harvard.
GBy telegraph to The Tribune.


Hanover, y. H., Nov. 1.-Amherst ar
rived in Hanover to-day with three hun
dred supporters, determined, II possible,
to repeat the trick that the Tigers did TO
Dartmouth last Saturday. The Massa-
chusetts team averages about l65 pounds,
both on the line and In the backtield
Dartmouth will outweigh her rival fifteen
pounds 10 the man.
With Cavanaugh on his way TO Cam
bridge 10 size up Harvard tomorrow,
the weather conditions prevented the
Green from holding an outdoor practice.
The thirty survivors were rushed into the
ball cage and sent through the starts.
After a half hour Of this work, signals
were run, and the makeup Of the team
for to-morrow's game determined. Hin
man will be used at left guard.
The probable lineup will be: Hogsett'
left end: Englehorn, left tackle; Hinman,
left guard; Gibson, centre; *. Bennett,
right guard; K. Estep, right tackle; Lar
ferty, right end; Llewellyn, quarterback;
Whitney, left halfback; Morey, right
halfbaCk; Snow, fullback.
Amherst's lineup will be: Swasey, left
end; Shumway, left tackle; Konold, left
guard; Slocum, centre; Written, right
guard: Lind, right tackle; Browne, right
end; Cooper, quarterback; Allen, left half
back; Moore, right halfback; McGay, full

Sol Metzger Looks for
Bitter Football Fight

the stronger eleven, this Nassau team Is
a splendid fighting machine. 1t is, In my
opinion, far ahead OF the 1911 champion
ship eleven. and II has a noticeable con-
fldence in its ability 20 deliver the punch
when a punch opportunity is presented.
Harvard's team seems tom just a shade
behind the one Of last year. and though II
seems stronger for this battle, | realize
that such a statement will prove con-
fuslng TO one who did not follow football
closely the last season.
My reason for favoring the Crimson IS
due TO the waiting-end style Of play that
Princeton cannot forget Dartmouth very
clearly proved II a vulnerable point one
week ago in its march for touchdown
against the Orange and Black. And
Haughton, the Harvard coach, isn't the
man 10 let such a glaring opportunity go
a-begging The Crimson style OF attack
Is prlmed primarily for such a defence,
with any OF It's three backs able 10 pound
along for three 10 iye yards after they
reach the line OF sCrimmagc.
| look for Harvard 10 aim its attack
toward the end. This will draw the end
across and leave that wide gap. 50 APP
parent one week ago. between end and
tackle in the Princeton lire. 1t takes Il
most alert and aggressive tackle TO cover
the space, and Princeton so far hasn't
produced this sort OF tackle. once tE3
gap is made, watch those sure-footcd
Crimson runners turn In and go crashing
into the secondary defence in a manner
that will wear heavily upon dewitt. the
very man Princeton needs to save for
other work. Such smashing defensive
play will even wear dewitt down, and
then look out.
Furthermore such a plan will grad
ually draw in the Princeton halfbacks.
whereupon Harvard can deliver a telling
blow via the forward pass. This is the
big Crimson advantage. and II works both
ways, because II gains ground for the
attack and wearies Princeton's strongest
offensive backs. a wet day would favor
Princeton because Of this one point, even
though Harvard has tho heavier team, as
| it would hamper such an attack.
