the Yale Bowl here to-day. and To,
Shevlin thought it best 70 make N.
football practice as brief as possib,
As result. nearly half OF the prae,ie.
for the Yale eleven was held indoo,.
IN the dressing room beneath the Con.
crete seats.
For twenty minutes Sheylin and IN.
other members of the Yale board o,
coaches stood at a blackboard And
marked up formations and plays which
were features of the Princeton game
All of the mistakes Of the linemen and
backfield players were pointed out 4,
far as possible. Not all Of /, wa,
criticism, however, for Sheviin /, 40,
chary of praise when it is merited
Then the men went out on the field
for thirty minutes of snappy signal
work. Parker Allen was sent 10 RIGHT
ed 10 replace Niedeman. whose knss
was wrenched so badly in the Prince
ton game that he will be out for the
remainder Of the season. Allen has
/ not figured prominently on the Yale
varsity this year, but has all sorts OF
possibilities as an end.
He is short. rather stocky and is hard
all over. He has pair of broad shoul.
ders which hit so hard when he make,
a tackle that the impact is likely 10
be remembered by the man who is car.
rying the ball In addition. he is fs,.
and has considerable ability as a place
kicker. He is sophomore and played
on his freshman team last year.
The varsity lined up to-day with
only one change from the makeup Of
Saturday: Left end Chui CHI: left tao.
kle, c. Sheldon; left guard, Black; cen.
tire, White; right guard. J. Sheldon:
right tackle, Way; right end. Allen;
quarterback, Van Nostrand; left half.
back. Wilson; right halfback, Bingham;
fullback, Guernsey.
All of the time to-day was spent on
the old plays, and considerable progress
was made in polishing up their execu.
ton. The coaches said tonight that
the team would work with these plays
and not try to master any new ones
1t is their belief that the formations
which the team now has are sufcen.

vas little test Of the variety OF the
ale offence, for tie Blue field genera.
Van Nostrand, was not called upon to
exercise all of the teams resources.
Yale had the lead during all but few
minutes Of play in the third quarter.
There was no evidence, aside from a
few minor bruises, in the appearances
of the men on the Yale eleven today
that they had played through a hard
game with Princeton Saturday. Sun.
days rest and the cold weather KEPT
all of the men on their toes through
out the signal practice. An added IN.
centive was Tom Shevlin, who stood
behind the team throughout the work

There were many encouraging tnlnr
about the workout to-day. The inter
ference got away faster and there Sis
no humping or jostling among We
backs as the plays were run on. ing

unity than on Saturday. The ene'
