iron To-day?

New Haven, Oc.. ga light signal
drill in the bowl this afternoon COM
pleted the easiest week Of practice for
the Yale team thus far this season.
There have been only two scrimmages
all week, one on Wednesday and an
other on Thursday, and both were
brief. Neither of them revealed much
offensive power on the part OF the
varsity. although they did indicate an
improved defence. which will be APP
parent against Colgate tomorrow, the
coaches hope.
Yale is thoroughly forewarned
against the plays which the Hamilton
men have shown thus far and de
fence has been worked out for them.
Whether this will be effective to-mor-
row is doubtful. At any rate, the Blue
will have much stronger defence than
against Washington and Jefferson a
week ago. Numerous changes have
been made from end to end, with the
result that Bad Talbot, who has
charge Of the forwards, has a set Of
men who average 1872 pounds, including
the ends. This compares favorably
with the Princeton line, which will
average approximately 1874 pounds a..
it is playing now
The signal practice this afternoon
was not altogether encouraging. Part
OF the time il went well, but most Of
the time it did not. Captain Aleck
Wilson ran the team from quarter
back. He will start the game to-mor-
row. but it IS likely tina. Bill Savage
also will get chance. If Savage
showing is satisfactory tomorrow he
may get Wilson's place, for it seems
probable now that Bob Bingham will
be declared eligible. Bingham and Saw
age could take care of the quarterback
position and then Wilson would be left
free TO return % the backtield.
Yale's chance to win against Colgate
lies in the ability OF the Blue TO de-
velop team work. 4 Yale graduate

he said: The trouble with that Yale
team is that it IS a team Of. individual
PLAYERS. When they get down on the
opponents 10-ysrd line the questions
the men ask one another are, Can Will
son make his FIVE yards" or Can
Scovil make mis- five yards They
never ask whether the team can make
five yards"
With many new men in strange posi-
tions tomorrow the team work will
count heavily. III all depends on what
attitude the men take and whether
they get together or not. II they get
together we will win" one OF the Yale
coaches said tonight.
Here is the lineup Yale will use:
Left end. Moseloy; left tackle. Bal
drige; left guard, Kent; centre, White;
right guard, j. Sheldon; right tackle,
Way; right end, Wiedeman; quarter
back. Wilson; left halfback, Waite /;
right halfback, Higginbotham; full
back, Scoyil.
Hamilton, y. Y. Oct. 90. During the
last week the coaches have been work
ing TO prepare the team for ITS second
hard game OF the season. Last Sstur-
DAYS easy victory over K. 7. !. gave
the men a good workout. and this week
they have been groomed for the Yale
contest.
The squad had the hardest and long
est workout of the week on Wednes day.
The varsity was mostly on the defen-
sive. but the scrub scored only once
during the afternoon. while the FIRST
string players made three touchdowns.

used tomorrow a. against Army. The
following men started to-day for New
Haven: Bankart. coach; Brewer, man
