NEW HAVEN. CONN. November IL.
Instead of ordering scrimmage prac-
tice. the Yale football coaches to-day
sent the team through the long de-
fensivc drill, arming the ineligib les
with Princeton formations and walking
them through the plays, aimed. leisure
ly, at the varsity line. The coaches
plan no more scrimmasing until after
the Princeton game.
Scovil was again a fullback. but his
injured thumb is still tender. and
chances favor starting Otis Guernsey
in the position. Although yesterday
lineup is probable against Princeton,
it Is barely possible that HigEinbothan1
may replace Church at left end and
that Baldridge will succeed Gates at
left tackle, because they are heavier
and are of veteran experience. Church
and Gates have the advantage OF IA
miliarity with the line shift plays
which Shevlin has taught the past ten
days.
