Inside News.

Charles 2. Cory, Jr.. the crack hurdler
who will wear the colors Of PENNSYLVANIA
this year on track and field, and who
matriculated at the University Of chit
cago last year. has received letter from
a personal friend now playing on the
Notre Dame football team which con-
tains most interesting information about
the Notre Dame-Yale game tomorrow.
The letter follows:
Although football games Of lmpor
tsnce will be played all over the country
tomorrow these are placed in the back
ground by the first intersectional contest
OF the year between Notre Dame and
Yale. In the minds OF many authorities
Yale will be forced to the limit and will
have TO show all the football it has been
taught to defeat the Western school.
Harper the Notre Dame coach. has left
no stone unturncd in perfecting his ma
chine. because this game is the most i'm
portant on Notre Danes schedule The
men will go into the game realizing this
and hope to bring back an Eastern scalp.

Dame Is nearly one Of veterans. only
two mon left last year and there places
have been filled to perfection by new men.
Notre Dame has had the drop on other
Western teams, as 1t has been practicing
since early in September. This early as
semblage was due 20 the early Yale
date. The team has been progressing
thoroughly and when II faces Yale it
ought to have a stonewall defense and
powerful offense. The attack OF Notre
Dame will be approximately the same
as was used against the Army last year
Forward passes, open formations and the
line plunging of Fullback Eichenlaub will
be used In the endeavor to cross the Yale
line. Punting will be resorted to when
the ball is in Notre Dame territory, and
as the men are in good condition nothing
but a hard fought game should result

to be in the best Of shape for the Yale
game tomorrow.
practice at Notre Dame has been held
every afternoon and night. At night the
team gathers in the gymnasium, which
has a dirt floor. Here plays are worked
over with as much success as out in the
open.
''Notre DANES system Of athletics is
one OF her best assets. Every one in the
institution is forced to come out for her
teams. It is required and a grade in
athletics Is just as necessary as grade
in English or history. From this system
Notre Dame trains her men from the
ages of six and seven right up until they
are graduated from college. 1t is no In
frequent sight to see 10 or II teams out
practicing on the field. These teams range
in all sizes and ages from prep
school TO college. From this system
Sotre Dame puts out many athletes OF
highest quality and. moreover. they have
worked together from boyhood"
NEW HAVEN. Oct ls.-The Yale
scrubs, whom Dr. Bull has been train
Ing for week in the use Of the Harvard
Princeton and Notre Dame formations,
played the varsity yesterday 10 II
tie. The scrubs were in rare form and
the varsity displayed only mediocre abii-
ity. Tho open work OF the scrubs gained
more nrst downs than the regulars were
able TO make with mass plays. The
scrubs could make few holes through
the varsity line, however
The scrubs made their touchdown early
IN the game. Several end runs by weiser
and Metcalt and forward pass from
Notre Dame formation, which Contne,
the scrub quarterback converted into a
So-yard gain. fairly took the regulars off
their feet. Howe received forward pass
on the varsity four-yard line, but then
the scrubs were held for downs and
Guernsey punted out. Again the scrubs
took the ball down the feld Weiser went
over for a touchdown on line plunge
and Kent kicked goal
The varsity touchdown was made by
Waite at the end of the scrimmags. when
he received a forward pass on the 30
yard line and ran through the scrub
secondary defense for tally. Guernsey
kicked the goal,
Aleck Wilson, the veteran quarterback,
appeared in uniform yesterday for the
frst time since the Virginia game when
he sustained an injury which developed
into water on the knee. Although he
took part in only the light signal drill.

that ne will play tomorrow II Notre
