Capt. Wilson Will Have a Squad of
rs at Madison on Sept. Good Ma
terial Available.
Captain Aleck Wilson of the Yale
eleven has announced plans for the
Sridiron campaign for 1915.
He has ordered a 'squad of rs play
ers, comprising all candidates of ex-
perience, to report at Madison on the
Sound, about 20 miles east of New
Haven, on Tuesday, Sept. Z. IS
Light Work Daily.
The squad will take light work
daily till Sept. 20 on the links of the
Madison Country club, which can be
fitted up into an excellent gridiron.
The squad will dine and be CHARTERED
at the Hammonassett house, only 200
yards from the playing field The ho-
tel is located on the Sound, and the
squad is thereby assured surf bathing
The squad found conditions at Madi-
son perfect last year, and the scheme
of training there promises to be made
annual.
A squad Of 125 players will report
on Yale field Sept. 20, and will get 10
days of aggressive football before the
formal season opens.
When Captain Wilson threw open
his desk at the Yale athletic offices
recently he really opened the season.
He will be there two or three times a
week till Sept. 1, when he will arrive
permanently. He will spend the month
of August in the Yale crew quarters
at Gales Ferry. He is a member of
the faculty of the Roxbury Tutoring
school which conducts a summer pre-
paratory school at Gales Ferry. Marty
Shedden, the Yale track captain of
last season, will also be at Gales
Ferry.
Wilson Gains WeIsht.a
Captain Wilson has spent July at
Camp Susquehannock, near Montrose
Penn, where about los collegians are
summering, including Dick Merritt the
former Yale baseball captain; Fred
Dawson, formerly baseball captain at
Princeton; Charlie Shons, the former
Williams college center fielder; George
Carlton Shaffer, the Columbia tennis
and baseball player; Bayne Taylor, the
former Amherst pitcher, and Kemp
ton, the Exeter quarterback.
Wilson has played baseball, football
and tennis the past month, and is
somewhat distressed because instead
of tightening his weight he has added
five pounds and tips the scales at 1876.
This is the heaviest figure for a Yale
quarterback on record and is equally
heavy for Yale end. Wilson is I'M
decided which to play, but will prob
| ably be found at his old position at
quarterback.
SeNeTdl changes III Ills
plans have been made, principal of
which is that Fudge Heffelfinger, who
had agreed to spend the season at New
| Haven, has found it impossible to do
so and has asked to be excused from
acting as Yale's defensive and prin-
| cipal line coach this fall. In his place
| Captain Wilson has chosen Red Dun
bar, who was one of Yale's best CEN
| ter rushes several years ago, and who
has had three seasons coaching ex-
perience at Notre Dame since then
Dunbar who is a remarkable all
round athlete, is accredited with be-
ing largely responsible for Notre
Danes fine showing the past few
years. He played end rush and half
back as well as center at Yale and
was also one of Yale's best pitchers
