Last Practice a Hard One.
The final work to-day. apart from
signal and formation drill in the sta
dunn az Cambridge early Friday after
noon. was stiff, and the coaches, an
army Of them, were eXactlng. lnci-
dentally, the practice went with dash
and with far more finish than week
ago. The lessons Of the PRINCETON
game showed, as we'll as the polish ap-
llied in the last three days.
This Yale eleven still lacks much TO
make it a really great team Inc
chances on Saturday appear TO be
against il, but it has come far IN two
weeks-nine working days, TO be eX-
act-and with things breaking we'll IN
the first ten minutes of the game VIII
take lot of beating.
Needless TO say, Tom Shevlin was
the moving spirit this afternoon. Inc
genius. the understanding. the knowl-
edge Of this man are wonderful. The
keenness of his brain shows in every
move. His impressions, quickly formed,
20 rarely astray. One must see him on
the field, watch him work with crowd
of fellows, to understand the amazing
power he exercises, the confidence ne
inspires. the results he gets.
One week ago, when II was my prlvl-
lege to see the Yale team in secret
practice, he came rushing on the ne
~throwiug of his coat, calling wildly for
sweater. The men were standing
around waiting. Not one of the many
coaches seemed willing to set the wheels
going until this man gave the word.
The word was not long in coming.
Shevlin never wastes any time. Crowd
ing into a sweater, pulling his hat over
his ears, sticking a big, black cigar in
his teeth, he shouted: "Come, varsity"
and that squad of one hundred men was
galvanized. Every player jumped, and
kept on jumping.
il was different to-day, but the. result
was the same. He came on the field
quietly, turned up his coat collar, pulled
down his hat. TO be sure, and reached
for cigar: but the same strange force
was at work. Again the men were on
their es-electrihed, alive!
The Shevlin Method.
Sometimes Tom Shevlin raves; some
times he only shouts; sometimes he lair
IL purrs. He began to-day by purring; he
ended BY raging down the held under
hunts with the ends and tackles, shout
ing. "Ahl ah, ahl an. Get that man!
Watch that ball!"
No lash, no spur could have had the
same effect.
From first to last e knew when TO
blame, when to prais He was as free
with one as the 9th, r OF all mer he
seems TO know best gnen TO apply the
whip. when to smooth over, when TO
drive. when to relieve the tension. NO
culprit escapes. no shortcoming misses
his eve. no good work is overlooked.
"Who missed that signal, who missed
!. ?" he shouts one minute, and as the
guilty one makes quick acknowledg.
nent snaps ont. Don't do. IT again
rney don't.
another minute he follows up good
NAV. bawling: Very pretty; very,
very. VERY pretty" ana 1t seems for
he moment 40 greater praise could
lie given.
Mixing up the physical with the men
al is a favored policy. He forces the
sub-eonscious mind TO activity. In the
neat OF the scrimmagc, with the signal
:or p.sy half givea, he suddenly
cries:
await minute, wait minute'
Now, boys, what do we do to-day" and
