YALEFAVORS GAME
WITH NOTRE DAME
Contest With Indiana Eleven Is
Practically Assured for
1914.
POST SEASON FOOTBALL

A football game between Yale and
Notre Dame next fall is a probability,
according to reports in college circles
at New Haven. Yale's tentative
schedule for 1914 contains a date for
Notre Dame at New Haven on Ooto-
Der II, 1t is stated, and the Indiana
university is understood to have about
decided to accept.
Students remaining at Notre Dame
University for the holiday season re-
ceived information yesterday that
Notre Dame will play Yale at New
Haven October II, 1914. Coach Jesse
Harper would not admit that the ar
rangements had been completed,
neither would he deny that Notre
Dame would meet Yale. When the
Notre Dame football squad disbanded
1t was with the understanding that
the eleven for next season would have
contest with either Yale, Harvard
or Princeton.
For Spartan simplicity the valedic-
tory of the 1913 Notre Dame football
eleven is a welcome relief from the
fulsome praise accorded teams which
fell short OF the record established by
the Indiana combination. The team,
which scored 267 points to its oppo-
nents' Al, and defeated West Point,
Penn State and Texas University dur
ing the season, was accorded the fol-
lowing paragraph In the university
publication after it's final victory at
Austin, Texas: 1.-THE 1918 varsity
eleven passed into history Thanks

Captain-eleot Earl Huntley. of the
New York University football team
announces that the team will use
numbers in all games played next
season. The plan has been under con-
sheraton since the close of last sea-
sc n, and 1t has the Endorsement Of
Physical Director Frank Cam, as well
as Captain Huntley.
That the numbering of players will
again come UP for discussion at the
rules committee meeting Is an assured
fact. Last year the football doc
tors held a long conference on this
point, and though the majority voted
against making It q rule, all agreed
that q test would be welcomed. Dart
mouth made the first move among the
big elevens of the East, and specta-
tors at the Polo Grounds, when the
Green eleven played the Indians, were
most agreeably surprised at the re-
suits.
Parke Davis, Princeton represent
alive on the rules committee, spoke
strongly in favor of the system at the
last meeting, and Is still strong ad-
vocate of the plan. In the West and
South the plan was tried out by some
of the leading elevens, and the results
were the same as in the case of Dart
mouth in the East. The agitation in
favor of numbers was so strong dur
ing the past season that 1t eeems only
O question of year or two before the
plan will be universally adopted.
Tho Yale management is still nego-
tiating for a team to take the place of
Wesleyan for the opening game OF
the season. The Middletown univer-
sity has declined to fill the place 1t
has held on the Yale schedule for
many years, and there is a possibility
that this mid-week game in late Sep
TENDER will be dropped from the Ell
schedule. Two other teams will be
missing next year. Lafayette has de-
clined the invitation to play again
and Holy Cross will probably be
dropped.
