CENTRE POSITION
WORRIESCOACHES.
OF YALE ELEVEN
Hutchinson, Callahan and
Vorys Will Be Tried
There This Week

New Haven. Nov. Light work will
be ordered for the Yale first string
football men this week. with the excep-
ton Of possibly one afternoon. when a
genuine work out will be held for the
Brown game Saturday
The coaches regard the daily long
scrimmage practices over for the sea
son. The physical condition Of the
eleven yesterday against Colgate made
it glarngly evident that pressing
problem will be TO bring the team on
the gridiron in its three remaining
games able 10 play the best football
Of which 1t is capable.
The game opened with the Yale rush
! line incapable Of stcmming a forcible
attack. The coaches patched up the
line. and the rebuilt structure proved
able in the second half to check the
Colgate artillery.
Vorys Disappointing
Only one position is giving the
coaches much concern centre rush.
Whether Rex Hutchinson will be re-
turned TO this post or whether Norys
= OF yet been decided Vorys displayed
inexperience Yesterday. but IT was
stated to-day that his retirement was
due to his lack of physical endurance
rather than to poor play.
Callahan is not yet IN good physical
condition. but may be IN shape TO play
in the Brown game. He is expected 10
be in tip-top form by the time OF the
Princeton game.
Rex Hutchinson proved invaluable
yesterday at fullback. and when Norys
md Lcisenring had proved unequal TO
the task of holding the Colgate attack
returned TO centre and made the Yale
rushlinc stone wall during the final
period Of the game.
II is traditional Of Yale football
teams that their annual slump takes
place during the first week in Novcm-
Der, the date when the terrific daily
driving ceases and when they have fin
ishcd their series Of preliminary games
with minor college elcvens.
One of the Yale coaches said to-day
that he doubted whether Yale would
meet much stronger opponent TINS
season than Colgate proved Yesterday.
Brown Is not considered as strong as
the New York State eleven.
"Invalids" Fared Well
Although Yale's rush line was badly
shot to pieces, as regards physical con-
dition, before yesterdays game began,
all the semi-invalids will probably be
nj the top of their game by next Satur-
day. Galt's indisposition was due TO n
slight attack of Indigestion, whilo
Blacks injured ankle has gained IN
strength daily.
II Hutchinson returns to centre the
coaches will feel no worry about inc
manner in which the position Will be
played i'm the final games Of the seasoh.
Charley Taft will be out OF the prac-
tice for several days because or n Sc
we're bump he received in the head yes
terday. He played for some time dazed,
Colgate aiming its attack at him when
in this condition.
The backfcld will be strengthened by
the return of Left Halfback Bob blng-
ham. who will be in the lineup by
Tuesday. He has been at his home, IN
Methucn, Mass, ten days, recuperating
from an attack Of tonsillitis. Emil
jacques is not likely to play in the
Brown game, but he is rapidly recover
ing from slight attack OF water on
the knee and will be available Tor the
Princeton and Harvard matches
The Yale eleven will have only -FOUR
or five more long scrimmages tins sea,
son. One will take place Tuesday ana
another probably on Wednesday. TINS
programme is likely to be repeated next
week, in final preparation lot inc
Princeton game, but 1t would create no
surnrise if the coaches ordered only
ono day of brisk scrimmaging between
tho Princeton game next week Satur-
day and the Harvard game the follow
ing Saturday.
