SHEVLIN WILL USE
 HIS FAMOUS SHIFT
Yale Attack to Be Made Faster and More Effective for Princeton Game


 Shevlin and Frank Hinkey, followed by more than an hours signal re- hearsal, comprised yesterdays Yale football program. Hinkey reviewed the Harvard Princeton game, at which he acted as Yale scout, while Shevlin outlined the plans for Yale's campaign against Princeton this week and pointed out to the Eli players their faults of omission and commis- sion against Brown last Saturday. Hinkey said that Harvard and Prince ton have unusually strong elevens.
 During the long signal drill, the Shevlin shift with it's countless varia- tions, was used extensively. It will be the backbone of the Yale attack next Saturday.
 Shevlin feels that the Yale attack was slow and ineffective Saturday, largely because of lack of time to learn 1t thoroughly. He feels that the Eli players will be much more famtl- far with 1t next Saturday and that it will shatter the Tiger rush line. Tn yesterdays signal practice it worked much more smoothly than last Satur- day.
 Two substitutions were made in the lineup, Claude Black displacing Dick Kent and Guernsey succeeding Scovii. | Kent will probably be found at right l guard, and it is still possible that Scovil will begin the game at fullback. although his thumb, which was dis ! located Saturday, is still botherfng him. Although Higginbotham re- turned to practice, Buck" Church was kept at left end and the competi- ton between him, Higginbotham and Moseley for the position will be keen. With the exception of Scovil, all the players were in excellent condition, and were in high spirits as the result of their two days outing at the Farm ington Country club. j.
 Although Baidridge returned to practice yesterday, Gates was retained at left tackle. His showing Saturday pleased the coaches, and his chances are even for holding the position. His only handicap is his light weight. Left end, left tackle, and quarterback will be undecided till late in the week. Otherwise the eleven will face Princeton as it played Brown.
 Princeton money arrived here last night offered at odds of to 8 against l Yale but the betting was slow.
 An examination of the injuries of ! "Chub" Sheldon and Carl Betts last night made it clear that Betts will play no more this year. Sheldon will be sent into part of the Harvard game but is not likely to be used against Princeton.
 The coaches have decided upon two days scrimmaging this week--a short bout today against the freshman and lively brush on Wednesday against the ineligibles.
 Yesterdays coaching staff included Shevlin, Field, Lilley, Fitzpatrick, Him. key, Bull and Erie Kistler, full back four years ago, who made his first visit of the season to the bowl.
 Between the halves of the YaleS Princeton game Saturday there Is to be spelled out the word "Y-A-L-E' in white letters on a solid field of blue silk handkerchiefs reaching along the entire Yale side of the bowl. This will include more than the cheering section which forms part of 1t, taking in every seat on the Yale side. The huge ness of the plan makes it the mosf brilliant color display ever attempted at Yale football game.
