Yale Eleven Spends Day Fol-
lowing Victory by Whirl-
ing in Autos Through
Connecticut Hills.

New Haven, Nov. 14.--Yale care
through the Princeton gnme with only
one serious injury. Niedeman, tae
right end, twisted knee which has
been weak ali season. and is out OF
the play for the rest of the year. His
place will probably be taken by Hig-
ginbotham or Moseley.
Tom Shevlin and his veteran board
of coaches tomorrow will resume the
task Of whipping the Blue eleven into
shape for the final test in the STADIUM
next Saturday, when Yale Will Get
Harvard. They will have well -conCi-
toned lot OF material 70 WORK .lth
and a team the composition Of which
is practically settled upon. In addi-
ton, the coaches can count upon con-
fidence among the men, confidence
supported by decisive victory over the
Tigers.
In the opinion of those who are
closely In touch with the Yale foot
ball situation, the spirit which Shov-
lin has instilled into his men will be
an even more important factor In the
Crimson contest. If this spirit can be
developed this week at the rate il was
last week, Yale will have more than
an even chance in the stadium. Little
else is being talked Of in New Haven
tonight than the miracle which Shey-
lin has worked.
The Yale players spent the after
noon in automobiles, whirling over the
roads leading through the Connect
cut hills, getting the benefit OF tie
clear, crisp air and the sunshine. To-
night, when they returned. all OF them
felt equal TO q hearty meal at the
training table.
Every one connected with Yale foot
ball. and especially the coaches who
remained in New Haven, are tremen-
dously pleased with the showing
against Princeton. Their JOY is tenn
pered somewhat by a genuine respect
for Harvard, and, more especially, for
Eddie Mahsn.
Princeton's gains yesterday were
principally around the Yale wings,
from fake kick formation. A con-
siderable amount Of work will be done
with the ends this week, Fitzpatrick
and Howard Jones doing the individual
coaching. II is felt that il Mahan's
end runs can be stopped, Yale will be
a long way on the road that leads TO
victory over Harvard. From tackle
TO tackle, the Yale defence Is con-
sidered satisfactory, although il is
hoped TO improve that department Of
play. as we'll as the secondary defence.
Most of the coaching efforts this
week will be devoted to the attack.
The interference for the Blue runners
Yesterday was not so quick 10 get
started as IL might have been. and
greater variety Of plays will have to be
placed at the command Of Van Nos
trand, the Yale field general, IL Shevlin
is TO oppose Harvard with a scoring
machine capable of consistent gains.
There will be snappy signal drill
Tomorrow, with Tom Shevlin back of
the team TO drive the men along. On
TUESDAY there will be more signal
work and possibly light scrimmage,
while on Wednesday the principal
scrimmage Of the week will be held.
Thursday will see a final workout at
signals In the Bowl before the Yale
squad leaves town, late that afternoon.
for Auburndale, where II will be quar-
tered before the Harvard game.
The team will go 10 Cambridge on
Friday 10 run of signals In the
stadium. The kickers will also work
there to test the wind currents.
