YALE's TEAM LOOKS
 LIGHT THIS YEAR
Men Hard at Work at Madison-First
 Game Sept. 26.

The past week of football practice has shown that the Blue team this year probably will be lighter by sew eral pounds than the one which was mauIed by Harvard last November. Yales chief problem this year will be to fill the shoes of Ketcham, last years captain, and one of the most aggressive players in a Yale line in years. Avery, the end; Pendleton, guard; Warren, first string tackle; Marrying, center, and Dunn, in the back field, besides two or three good substi- tutes, are also among the absent this year. but the Blue has fair amount of good material from last years freshman team to draw from. The back field, consisting of Ainsworth, Wilson. Pumpelly, Guernsey, MasLeish of the veterans and LeGore, Easton and Milburn of the 1917 team, will be strong. 2.
 Hinkey will adopt an entirely new policy this year in an attempt to bring out a championship winner. Hereto fore, about half of each season has been devoted to secret drilling behind closed gates. much to the disappoint- nlent of the big student body. This year Hinkey has announced that the gates will be open during every prac- .tice on Yale field. He says that se- cret practice rarely availed Yale team anything. Hinkey is an exponent of the open game and the Elis may be depended upon to play straight, fast football with plenty of end running and action through the line. Hinkey' s career as head coach is being watched with great deal of interest by Yale's alumni. He was probably the best end Yale ever had and his coaching meth ods will be characteristic of Hinkey. fOn the field, as a player, he was known as Yale's silent captain. and as a coach his work will be carried on along quiet and simple lines.
 YaIo has Or1v one mt nf toxvr, yor,oo this year, that with Princeton on Nov. IA. On the following Saturday the immense bowl, Yale's new athletic stadium, will be thrown open for the the two universities will be accommo- dated within the great steel and ce- ment structure. The bowl is the big gest thing of its kind in America. if not in the world. and its opening will mark an epoch in Yale athletics. The old football field across the way, which has been the scene of Yale Harvard and Yale Princeton battles for years will be used in preliminary games only.
 It is difficult at this time to size ur the material on hand, but during the week at Madison it was evident that there were fewer ':big'' men in the squad than usual The present style o1 game is conducive to fast running, an6 Hinkey's idea will be to mould a team ability to kick 8 field goal almost al readily as Captain Brickley. Durins the last few years Yale has lost sev. eral big games through her inability to boot the ball between the uprights

 best kickers Yalo ever turned out vii assist Hinkey in that department Q tke game. Dr. Bull was in Madiso, two days last week and gave the bacl kicking. Yale's first game is on Sen, 26 with :he University of Maine. whfcI held the Biees to & 0 to score las year.
