Scientists are now convinced
that the moon has no more influence
on crops than it has upon the tenn
perature, or the amount of rain, or
The winds, or any other weather
element. says experts of the Agri-
cultural Department al Washington
The growth of plants depend
upon the amount of food IN the soil
aud the air that is available for
them, and upon temperature, light
and moisture. The moon obviously
. docs not affect the character of the
soil in any way; neigher does it af-
feet the composition of the atmos-
phere. The only remaining wav in
which it could influence plant
growth, therefore. is by its light.
Recent experiments, however,
show that full daylight Is about
GOO, 900 times brighter than full
moonlight; yet, when plant gets
one one-hundredth part Of normal
Daylight it thrives little better than
in absolute darkness. II one one
hundredth part of normal daylight
is thus too little to stimulate plant
it seems quite certain that q six
hundred thousandth part cannot
have any effect at all. II is, there

the whole plan Of the Tiger practice
for this week. Rush and Captain Click

go impressed with Harvard's showing
that they are convinced the Tigers will
have to improve greatly before they
can heat the Crimson. A few days of
light work, devoted mostly to polishing
tho rough edges, was to have been the
program for this week. but instead the
team will be worked to the limit.
Cyril BALM and Jim Mccormick have
arrived to assist the regular coaches.
The former will help coach the ends
and the latter the backheld. Even
though some Of the regulars were out
OF the game. the showing Of Princeton
on Saturday will leave no reason for
overconfidence regarding the Harvard
game.
1t is not likely that any change will
be made In the backfield as the result
of Moore's good playing on Saturday.
His sensational showing yesterday in

hind the line, nut 1t is improbable that
he will get first choice over Tibbott or
Shea for the halfback position.
Just now the Princeton injured list

and unless some one Is hurt this week
the Tigers will present their strongest
combinati ton against Harvard. Tibbott's
rest should do him good. and Brown

ALEC WILSON TAKES
ELI FOOTBALL TEAM
UNDER OWN CHARGE,

NEW HAVEN, Nov. Capt.
Alec Wilson, Of the Yale football
team, has assumed the duties Of
head coach, pending the arrival Of
Tom Shevlin, All-America end, who
captained Yale's championship
team Of 1905. Wilson announced on
Saturday night to the Yale football
squad that Shevlin would be head
coach for the remainder of the sea-
son
But Talbot, captain Of last sea-
sons Yale team and one Of Frank
Hinkey's chief assistants this sea-
son, today declared that Hinkey
would continue as head football
coach at Yale for the season. He
also stated that there would be a
number of new coaches back to as
sist with the work at Yale Field
this week. The list includes some
Of the best men who ever played on
the Blue elevens. The names are
John Fitzpatrick, Ted Lilley, How
ard Jones, John Field. Guy Hutchin-
son and Lucius Bigelow.
The sudden changes In the personal
OF the Yale coaching stan came as
result Of tho decision Of Capt Alec
Wilson. Things have been going badly

succeeding game showed the varsity to

squad OF the fact.
with Captain Wilson's decision the
entire face of Yale football has changed.

there has been an important change,

Shevlin returned to pull a defeated Yale
team off the rocks. He did 1t that sea-
son so successfully that. after a mis-
erable early season showing. the Blue
eleven defeated Princeton by n score OF
. to 3. and played the strongest Har-
yard team In years to a scoreless tie.
No time will he lost in putting the new
coaching system into operation. Tom
shevlin will roach New Haven tomor-
row from Minneapolis. according to
telegraphic advice. while the assistant
coaches listed above will be here to
help with the practice today.
Most OF the new Yale coaches were
line men. although there Is a ha!fback
and a quarterback among the lot. Tom
Shevlin. the new head coach was an

played next to Hogan. who also had the
distinction of being member Of the
