Captain Talbot Again
Out of Yale Varsity

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 29.-Despite
the apparent need of his services, Cap
tain Talbot will not play tackle for
Yale against Colgate Saturday. Belts
will hold down the berth in the absence
of his captain. Talbot is still suffering
from his injured leg, and Coach Hinkey
will take no chances with him. In yes
tcrdays scrimmage Belts did very well,
sizing up the attack in fine style and
displaying great strength on defense.
Yale's offensc still appears weak and
uncertain. especially with Alec Wilson
out OF the lineup. F'umbling is frequent,
and the forwards are not charging fast
enough TO suit the coaches. Stllman
and Bunker remain at end. and will
probably start the Colgate game. Bum
ker was last years freshman fullback.
and until this week has been playing
tackle. Despite his newness to the po-
sition, he is taking hold of the work
we'll, and promises to develop into a
first-class end.
