COACHES AT YALE
SORE AT SHOWING
Shevlin's Plays Canned and
Big Changes in Lineup
Made.

AS a result Of Yale's sorrowful show
ing against little Maine on Saturday,
the football faculty assembled at
headquarters yesterday afternoon and
discussed the situate at length. That
the coaches were disappointed with
the Bulldogs work in not registering
a victory is putting it mildly. In fact
the entire student body was at a loss
to unders tand why Harvard should
win by a "a to count and then have
Yale fight desperately and fail to
score.
Tom shevlin, whose famous shifts
proved such a disappointment in Sat
urdays encounter, left yesterday and
will not return until the week prepar-
atory to the Princeton game. It was
decided at yesterdays meeting to rele-
gate Shevlin's plays to second place
from this time out. His plays were
given a good trial but the results do
not warrant further experimenting.
Captain Ketcham, who played a
guarA position, was oVer-anxfous in
getting into plays from his new posi-
ton and Marrying, at center passed IN
accurately. Yale's ends played a much
improved game, getting down well un-
der kicks and stack1ing clearly.
Big schanges are to be made in the
Y ale lineup before the game with La
fayette next Saturday. In all proba-
bility Ketcham will be back at center
while the backf1eld will be completely
changed. Knowles, who has been laid
up at the fnfirmary for several days,
will don the moleskins again this week
and light out for g, halfback position.
His most formidable opponents are
Cornell, Guernsey, Wheeler and Pun-
pel1y. Thompson was injured late in
Saturdays game, and will be out Of
the practice during the hrhst part OF
the week, because of a wrenched knee.

LINEUP IN SERIES

Cleveland, Oct. 6-The Pittsburgh
National League team and the C1eVe-
land American League team were to
meet here at 2 o'clock, this afternoon,
in the first game of post season
SERIES Gregg or FSalkenberg, for
Cleveland and Adams or McQuilen
for Pittsburgh, were the likely pitch
ing sections.
The chief interest in the series will
be the chance offered of comparison
of Hans Wagner and Napoleon La1ote,
respectively the deans of the National
and American League players, and by
many regarded as the two greatest
players of all time.

pears to have recovered well from the
effects of his recent automobile spill.
Snodgrass's Charley horse however,
still is bothering him so much that it
is out of the question to expect him to
play to his usual form.
1t looks to be probable, therefore,
that the Giants will line up Tuesday
with Merk1e, Doyle, Fletcher and
Herzog filing the infie1d positions,
and with Burns, Shafer and Murray
in the outf1eld. Some close watch ers
of the play of the team are inclined
to think that the team as thus form
ed will be not bit weaker than with
a lineup that included Snodgrass and
left Herzog out.

to decide the baseball championship
of the world are at hand with the as

arrangements for the big event.
So far as the condition of the teams
who will do battle is concern ed, there
seems doubt that all tie regulars
of the Athletics will be ready to take
the field and play the game without
physical handicap. Not so much can
be said for the Giants. While it ap-

that the New York Telegram will use

YOSTS VANQUISH
FAST ACORN TEAM
Local Gridiron Warriors Have
Hard Battle With Meriden
Boys
(By Wagn@.l

The Remington Y osts, tore the lid
off the 1913 football season yesterday
when they beat the Acorns of Meri-
den at Yost field by to 0. The local
boys showed some fine individual
playing although they didn't put
much pepper into their efforts. This
was probably due to the weather,
which was too warm for the gridiron
game.
The Acorns had a light, fast team.
They bothered the Yosts considerably
and although McCormick's men gain
ed frequently they were unable to
rush the ball in consecutive style. One
of the features of the game was the
work of Cossett, the deaf and dumb
youngster who played end for the
visitors in the first half. He broke up
oil the plays that came his way and
was repeatedly cheered by the crowd.
About 1000 spectators saw the battle.
The veteran Kecko was in the Yost
lineup and did fine work. The back
field had some new faces. Mysterious
Smith proved a, star at halfback. He
made several clever runs and was a
placed Casey in two periods, was also
a dashing halfback. He announced
his appearance in the second period
by Keeling off a rs yard dash and a
few minutes later ran ten yards for a
touchdown. Silva kicked the goal.
the Annex eleven of New Haven last
year, was at fullback for the Yosts.
He, showed plenty of speed for big
man and was a reliable ground gain
er. Eddie Reilly exhibited his usual
heady stuff at Quarterback. The line
was very strong. Abbott and McCor-
mick hadn't attained their nid-season
form and the visitors ripped off sew
eral good gains through the tackles.
