More Shifts at Princeton.
The shift at Princeton may or may
not be permanent. If it is to be per-
manent, Princeton will be in the same
position that Harvard was in in 1910.
If it is not permanent, the Tigers Will
be in the same position as the Tiger
team of 1910. In either case, Yale can
shift and probably will shift it's team

The constant shifting of the Yale
team through the season. which usual
ly has been due to injuries or to the
temporary poor showing of the men
originally selected. has an advantage
for Yale, inasmuch as it has developed
a number of men capable Of filling the
various positions, and probably no
eleven in the country can boast such
a strong array Of men ready to take
the places of regulars as can Yale.
Yale Has Supply Of Ends.
Yale has six ends, any of whom
may replace any other, and all of
whom may be seen in the game of Sat

The first faint suggestion Of the
tactical battle that will be waged in
the Yale bowl Saturday afternoon be-
tween Coach Speedy" Rush of the
Tigers, and Coach Tom SheVlln OF the
Ellis has come.
Dispatches from Princeton tell OF
changes in the Tiger backffeld. Moore,
an end running and broken field run
ming back, had been sent in to take
the place of Tibbott, the drop-kicker
Of the Tigers, and Dickerman, the line
plunger,- sent in to take the place OF
Shea, the Tiger defensive back, and
the Tiger team had been changed from
a defensive team possessing drop,
kicker to an offensive team without
a dropkicker.
These dispatches naturally went to
New Haven and naturally again were
noted by Miracle Man Shevlin OF the
Yale coaching staff. Then when the
Eli team reported for practice, the
calling of names for the team A lineup
found Neville, the end running back,
replaced by Bingham. the defensive
back, and found Scoyil, the line buck
ing back, replaced by Guernsey, the
defensive and dropkicking back of the
Yale squad, and the Yale team was
changed from an offensive team pos
sessing no dropkicker to a defensive
team possessing dropkicker.
Tigers 1910 Team Great on Defense.
Thus has Coach 'Shevlin answered
Rush's first challenge, and the method
of answering recalls again the famous
1910 season. when Shevlin last appear
ed as the rescuer of an Elf forlorn
hope.
In 1910, Yale boosted a number of
backfeId candidates, part of whom
were good defensive men, and the re-
mainder of whom were good offensive
men. Princetin in 1910 was represent
ed by great defensive team, and
Shevlin, realizing that condition.
prinaed his offensive backs for the oc-
casion and trounced Princeton. Har-

offensive team and Shevlin shifted the

DAME RUMoR SAYS
YALE is AFTER YosT
Blue Has Eyes on Miehisan's Crack
Coach.

That Yale intends to make a deter
mined bid for rehabilitation on the
football f1eldSis apparent in the stimuli
taneous announcements from New Ha-
ven and Ann Arbor that Yale is ne
gotiating with Fielding H. C'Hurry
Up'O Yost to take charge of football
at New Haven. One despatch insists
that the negotiations have progressed
so far that Yost will sign contract
in a short time.
For years prior to 1910 Yale reigned
supreme on the gridiron. Blue vic
tories were scored with monotonous
regularity. 1t was seldom that the
string of triumphs was interrupted.
And in those years other sports -four
ished at Vale. But since 1910 Yale
has been slipping backward. Blue
victories have been the exception
rather than the rule. Yale longs to
regain lost prestige.
If Yale is successful in its negotia-
tions with Yost and the Michigan
coach elects to come east and look
after the bulldog on the gridiron, Yale
will have procured one o fthe most
competent coaches in the country.
Yost at least knows as much football
as any man extant, and knows a great
deal more about the game than the
majority. If anyone can reestablish
Yale-and it can be done-Yost will
do it.

COACH RICE SAYS YALE
Has POWERFUL CREW
ceIumbia Has Steady Rowing Boat
and Will Give Blue oarsmen = Bat
tie To-day.

: For the first time in nun1Der Of
years Columbia will row Yale at New
Haven today. Coach James C. Rice
of the Columbia crew in an interview
said:
Il had the opportunity of seeing
the Yale crew as they passed at close
range enough to get good idea of
what kind of a, stroke they were row.
certainly are a powerful bunch of men
and row a hard, driving stroke which
is smooth, too. There is a wonderful
squad here to pick crew from. At
Columbia this fall we had y1e men
from which to pick the crew.
There are two men rowing on the
university at present who rowed last
summer at Poughkeepsie, Captain
Bratton, stroke, and Workman, No. 5.
This is the first year we have had
coming as it does with the reinstate-
ment of football. four men from last
seasons crew are playing on the foot
ball team
The crew has been rowing just as
it is now for two weeks and they
have got wonderfully clean, smooth
stroke. considering so many are mex
perienced men. Captain Bratton is
think, responsible for that. He is the
biggest man on the crew, Weighing
IT'S pounds, and is tall and rangy
Bratton has a great personality and
is wonderful leader. Captain Low
is remarkable stroke-oar, and is a
heavier man than Bratton. He is of
different type, however, being short
and stocky, with powerful legs.
ITO illustrate. the smoothness of the
stroke the Columbia crew is rowing:
was up the river about four miles
after dark with the boat the other
afternoon. 1--WE have to row after dark
because the men cannot get out earlier
at Columbia) and was slightly. ahead
of the, crew in the launch when Il
struck me how smoothly the bow light
was moving along the shore back
ground. It seemed to slide along like
an automobile light with no dip or
hang as the bows of some shells do.
There is something in that crew: they
get together remarkably we'll and they
may spring a surprise. Any crew that
beats them will know it has been in
| a race.
| "As for coxswains, we have slight
advantage there in weight, but McLane
| has had a great deal of experience
more than Thomas has had, who was
| coxswain on the freshman crew last
year.
Our crew is very light, as evil
| denced by the fact that Meyers, No. 2
weighs only $50 pounds; but he is
| stocky and strong.
