New Haven, Conn, Nov. 23.-Three
more members Of the Yale eleven TO-
dav developed sore throats, end rushes
George Moseley and Charlie Comerford'
and jim Braden, the best drop-kicker
OF the Eli squad.
In the cases Of Quarterback Iravers
Smith and Captain Cupid Black the
sore throats, which appeared last week.
turned into light cases Of tonsilitis, and
the coaches tonight wondered whether
the three new cases would take a SINH
lar course tomorrow. In case the
three plavers show high temperature
tomorrow. it is doubtful whether they
will be able to play against Harvard on
Saturday.
The medical attendants Of the eleven
tonight insisted that the threats were
an incident to the rainy weather. Ihey
believe that the players will improve
and that the sore threats will disappear
by Saturday.
Smith. who was first attacked, was
unable to play against Princeton. he
remained in a Nez York hospital till
Wednesday, when he returned to the
eleven. Yesterday and to-day he took
mart in the signal drill, being made
quarterback on the second eleven. For
a short time during to-day's practice, he
ran the varsity.
Head Coach Tad Jones said tonight
that Smith was in condition, when
would allow him to start Saturdays
game. Jones declined 70 announce Sat
urdav's lineup. Ii is regarded as IN
settled. and il is thought that the
coaches will not decide between La
roche and Smith for the quarterback
position till just before the beginning
Of Saturdays game. II Smith appears
in excellent physical condition, he Will
be sent into the lineup when play be-
gins.
Black Returns TO Line
CAPTAIN Black, who was taken III with
tonsilits on Monday, returned to-day to
the lineup, practising for the first time
This week at left guard. He said this
evening that he had recovered from his
indisposition and fully expected to start
Saturdays game.
In the cases Of Moseley, Comerford
and Braden. the coaches feel that de-
velopments must be awaited; that IL is
impossible to predict whether the slight
sore throats which appear to-day VIII
disappear tomorrow, or will develop
into cases of typical tonsillitis.
All of the players who have been
lost 10 the Yale eleven this fall have
disappeared because OF Illness, instead
OF football injury. "Chub" Sheldon and
Bob Bingham have been definitely lost
for the season, and II seems impossible
that any Of those who have shown
svmptoms OF tonsillitis this week will
be able to play the whole Of the game
Saturday.
The Yale eleven did not visit the
Bowl this afternoon, changing its plans
because Of the drenching rain which
fell all day, and running of signals
this afternoon in the baseball cage.
They worked an hour under the arti-
fetal lights on the earth floor of the
cage, covering their entire repertoire oil
PLAYS, including few forward passes
and even punts. In spite of their sore
throats every member Of the eleven
was i'm the lineup for the entire prac-
ticc. excepting Smith, and unless more
definite symptoms of tonsillitis appear.
the eleven will meet Harvard exactly
as it met Princeton.
Former Stars Aid
Present az to-day's practice were
Foster Rockwell, "Pudge" Hefelhnger,
Ted Lilley. Phil Smith and Alec Will
son. captain Of last years eleven.
The entire eleven tonight went 20
the college inhrmary, where the play
ers who have sore threats were given
treatment.
