New Haven. Nov. 11.-Almost as many
coaches as players were at Yale Field to-
day to prime Yale for the two games OF
the season, with Princeton and Harvard.
The practice was very light. The Brown
game tired some of the players consid-
erably, as there were few substitutions.
Gallsuers nose was broken, but not
enough to prevent him from going into
to-day's signal work. All of the regulars
were out, with the exception Of HARRISON
The latter's ankle is still very lame, al
though he says il is coming along fairly
well. He viii not be able TO play against
Princeton on Saturday. This is about the
hardest blow Yale could get. Guards have
been very troublesome here all year, ana
HARRISON was expected to fill big gap.
He will probably be ready for Harvard,
however
Saturdays game settled many doubtful
Issues. The Cornen-Wheeler duel at quar-
terback resulted in Wheeler being moved
UP to first position to-day in signal prac-
punts so surely and used his head so
well that there is little doubt that he
will receive the first call on Saturday.
Cornell will be used part Of the game as
he is not out of the running by any
means Dutch" Arnold's play at guard
was a big disappointment but the coaches
think they know the trouble and how II
can be remedied
Romeisler's injured shoulder has kept
him from all scrimmages since it was hurt
in the Holy Cross game. a special pad
has been prepared, but just how 1t will
work is unknown. 1t would not be sur
prising if the coaches decided TO save
"Bo" for the Harvard game and give tho
others the benefit Of the Princeton eN-
perience. Pumpelly's fine work has as
sured him Of position in the Yale back
field as first sub for all three regulars,
The coaches to-day picked twenty-four
men who will hereafter eat dinner In the
evening at a training table.
To-day's practice consisted only Of
lorg signal and kicking drill. Ted Coy
got his toe in order and made many Rng
punts for the backs to handle, and the
ends TO cover None of the regulars tried
drop kicking at all This sort Of play
lasted until darkness. The line received
much individual attention in all sorts OF
Ilay.
The varsity lined up in signals to-day
as follows: Gallauer and Avery, ends;
Talbot and Warren tackles; Coonay ana
Pendleton. guards Ketchan. centre;
Wheeler. quarterback; Philbin and Spald-
Ing. halfbacks; Flynn, fullback: Cornell,
quarterback; Pumpelly and Markle, backs,
and Arnold and Read guards also went
in These are the men who with Bomeis-
Ter. will probably play against Princeton.
The coaches are here TO make Yale ad-
vance as usual by leaps and bounds in
the last two weeks. The week Of enforced
rest Is held accountable for Yale's play
on Saturday, which seemed to disappoint
all except those close to the team, who
understand Yale's policy Of pointing the
eleven for the two big games. The fol-
lowing coaches were here to-day, besides
the resident staff: Foster Sanford. Tom
Shevlin. Walter Camp. DO" Olcott, Ted
Gov. Arthur Brides. Burr Chamberlain,
George Adee. PA" Corbin. Fred. J. Muir
ply, Carl Flanders and Dewitt Cochran.
Long Day for Tiger Squad.
TBY Telegraph TO The Trlbunc.l
Princeton. y. j., Nov n.-With the
Yale game only four days distant, Gun
ningham gave the Tiger football eleven a
long. hard workout this afternoon. The
squad was on the gridiron for nearly
three hours, running through signals both
before and after a gruelling scrimmage Of
an hour and a quarters duration. Heff
Herring's team opposed the regulars and
when the game ended the score stood
10 :. Earle Waller was responsible for
the 'varsity's tally. while BOland, with
the help Of Thompson, the former West
ern all-star," negotiated touchdown
for the scrub on a neat quarterback run
around end.
II was a hard days work for all the
veterans, even Dunlap with his dislocated
shoulder being used in the signal drill.
The coaches had the regulars working on
the defensive for a long time at the be-
ginning Of practice, Trsnchard giving
close attention TO the ends.
"Goldie" Wight had rest to-day and
Andrews ana STREET were lne CholCe Oh
ends "Doggie" had all the scrub outside
men around him while the teams were in
action, pointing out what should be done
on the ends when certain plays started.
Biucthenthal. the stocky Tiger centre,
certainly looked Ike an old-time football
player to-day. His face was covered wish
strips of adhesive plaster, and If he wears
this decoration on Saturday spectators
will have little difficulty in recognizing
him. "Bluey" was at his best this after
noon. smashing up plays before they
started. and getting down the field in rare
style.
Penfeld occupied Trenkman's place at
right tackle again, and 1t begins to look

rival. Trenkman has been Handicapped
