N. E. A. PREPARING FOR
 fRULKEEEY GAME SATURDAY
Coach overbaeh Drilled the Team
 Monday Through Long Signal Prae- tfee.

Hard practice has started at the Academy in preparation for the big football game with BuTkeley which will be played on the local campus this coming Saturday. All Monday after noon Coach Overbagh drilled the first team in signal practice interference and the forward pass. the latter re- ceiving particular attention. A change in the backfle1d was tried, as follows, Stanley shifted to right half, Shea taking his place at quarter. Holmes fullback and Captain Murtha left half back. In the signal practice Monday this combination showed great speed in getting off with the ball and it was
 noticed that this same combination works like a charm in working trick passes and shifts.
 Scrimmages will be held today be- tween the first and second teams
 when some new trick plays will be | tried out.

YAEE'S OPEN PLAY THE
 FRUIT OF HARD WORK
Under Coach Hinkey the Team Has
 Developed Brilliant Passes.

While no consternation is felt at Yale over the report that Harvard has imported a set of Canadian banks to teach the Crimson backfield the Rugby lodging, passing and side-stepping game, the announcement has been re- ceived here with keen interest as an indorsement of the revolutionary style of play introduced by Coach Hinkey of the Yale eleven. The lateness of Coach Haughton of the Crimson squad made by the Yale strategist will, of course, prevent it from being learned thoroughly between TOW and the close of the waning season of 1914.
 With the gridiron games half spent the time for installing new system |of play Is limited and if the Harvard team can learn in three weeks a style of play which Hinkey has spent ten months already in drilling. they will be veritable wonders. Months must re required. according to the belief of those who have witnessed the devel- opment of the Yale system, before any othr eleven can acquire the perfec- tion in passing and running which Yale has attained.
 Last February, immediately follow ing his appointment as head coach, Hinkey began laying the groundwork for the accuracy and perfection in de- tail of the new game and the Can- adian methods of passing and running were utilized from that date, Hinkey' s
 electric devices for registering for
 ward pass accuracy were installed
 quietly in the baseball cage early in
 the spring and for three months the
 squad worked at these innovations
 while other elevens were devoting their spring practice to old lines of prep laration for the fall campaign.
 | Hinkey's practice in Madison was given in what was really daily secret practice, tow the further development
 of the game, and the few days spent in the opening practice at Yale field
 was behind closed gates with the Can
 adians working with the Yale backs IHinkeys game was then made wide open. The product of the months oi
 secret passing was exhibited in Yale''
 opening game with Maine. when Yale lcompletely fooled the visitors with 2
 dazzling set of passes and scored Itouchdowns as often as Captain Tal. bolt decided to .uncork these plays
 upon the helpless Down Easters.

the readjustment was possible with out any serious disturbance whatever. So that man said, with sense of re- lief, Well, we are glad to get that be- hind us, and 1t wasn't bad after a1l-'
 Then came the currency reform. You remember with what resistance, with what criticism, with what sys- tenatic holding back. large body Of bankers in this country met the proposals of that reform, and you know how, immediately after its pass aRe,- they recognized its benefit and its beneficence. and how ever since the passage of that reform. bankers throughout the United States have been congratulating themselves that it was possible to carry out this great reform upon sensible and solid lines.
 Then we advanced to the trust pro- gram and again the same dread, the same hesitation. the same urgency that the thing should be postponed.
 .'It will not be postponed; and 1t will not be postponed because we are the friends of business
 ''We know what we are doing: we purpose to do it under the advice, for we have been fortunate enough to oh- tain the advice. of men who under we know that the effect is going to be exactly what the effect of the cur rency reform was, sense of relief and of security.
 Because when the program is nn- l ished, it is finished; the interrogation points are rubbed off the slate: busi- ness is given it's constitution of free dom and is bidden go forward under that constitution.
 And just so soon as it gets thaI leave and freedom there will be g boom of business in this country s1ch as we have never witnessed in the United States.
 'I, as a friend Of business and a servant of the country, would not dare stop this program and bring on an other long period of agitation
 T am sure that it is beginning to be evident to the whole press of this Icountry, and by the same token to the people. tthat a constructive pro- gram Is at last not only to be pro- posed, but completed, and that when it is completed business can get and twin get what it can get in no other lway-rest, recuperation and success full adjustment.
 Tt is g, matter of conscience as well as a matter Of large public policy to do what this Congress am now cer- tain is going to do, finish the pro- gram. And do not think it is so- ling to take a very long time.''

BIG BOOM FOR BUSINESS IS PROMISED THROUGH DEMOCRATIC
 PROGRAM BY THE PRESIDENT

Wa shington. June 26-President Will son yesterday promised the country sttlae greatest business boom in it's h1s- tory.'' This was his answer to oppo- nents of trust legislation at this ses- sion of Congress and to prophets o1 evil times. ,N
 The president spoke to a group of Virginia editors in the east room of the White House but his assurances were intended for the country The president said:
 we are in the presence of a bus mess situation, variously interpreted Here in Washington we are perhaps in a position to judge of the actual condition of business better than those can judge who are at any other single point in the country. want to say to you that the signs of very strong business revival are becoming more and more evident from day to day.
 .sBusiness has been in a feverish and apprehensive condition for more than ten years. I will not stop to point out the time at which it began to be apprehensive. but during more than ten years business has been the osb ject of sharp criticism in the United States. a criticism growing in volume and growing in partfcularity; and as a natural consequence as the volume or criticism has increased business has grown more and more anxious.
 .'Buainess men have acted as some men do who fear they will have to undergo an operation, and who are not sure that when they get-on ths table the operation wdII not be a. cap ita1 operation
 "AS a matter of fact, as the diag- nosis has progressed it has become more and more evident that no capital most a minor operation was necessary to remove admitted distempers and l evils.
 seThe treatment is to be of const1- tutionaI rather than surgical, affect l ing habits Of life and action which it is admitted that there are pro cesses of business or have been pro- cesses of business in this country which ought to be corrected. But the correction has been postponed and in | proportion to the postponement the fe- l yer increased-the fever of apprehen- | sion.
