REX HUTCHINSON
PLAYS FULLBA0
FOR ELI TO-DAY
Vorys Will Start Contest
Against Colgate Eleven
at Centre

New Haven. Nov. 3-Two unexpected
changes in the Yale lineup have oeeh
made on the eve Of the game with Col
cate. Rex Hutchinson has been sent
AGAIN 20 fullback and Jack Norys has
received the snap-back assignment.
Hutchinson's transfer from centre
two days ago created stir. lie ola
we'll in the position, although he had
not PLAYED there in three years. To-
dav his return TO fullback, where he
plaved from the opening OF the season
until three weeks ago, verified the re-
mort that the coaches have found the
work Of Jim Braden unsatisfactory.
Lacks Endurance
Bradcn, as a line plunger, has ire
mcndous individual power for a short
period. but he lacks endurance, fails
TO get into the interference for his
fellow backs and has little defensive
cleyorness. 1t is extremely unlikely
that he will be started in any Of the
remaining Yale games this season. He
is. however, a valuable substitute and
will be sent into every remaining game
this fall as reserve fullback.
Hutchinson will start to-morrows
game. He and Jacques, who is now at
the college infirmary with water IN
knee, will fight 1t out for fullback IN
the final games of the season. There
s thirty pounds difference between the
weight Of Jacques and that OF both
Hutchinson and Braden, but Jacques
is easily the superior of both his rivals
IN defensive play and in interference.
The selection Of Vorys for centre has
brought into the game the member OF
The SQUAD who has been the champion
hard luck player Of the last two sea-
sons. He was a brilliant pivot man
on the freshman eleven two years ago,
and when the squad reported IN l9l .
was heralded as the almost certain Sc
lection for the position during the sea-
son. He has undergone a succession
Of injuries which have prevented his
beginning single game either during
last or the present season.
lie will begin to-morrow's game in
excellent physical condition, facing a
rosy prospect of selection for centre
rush in the remaining games of the
year. Callahan, who shaded him
slightly till both were injured this fall.
is still recovering from sprained
ankle and probably will finish the sea
son as first substitute for guard and
centre.
Warned Against Colgate
The Yale players have been told that
Colgate has a strong eleven and is
capable of playing a remarkable ef-
fective forward passing game.
The Yale practice to-day was largely
devoted TO defensive work on the for
ward pass, Dr.. Bulls second eleven
constantly using the pass, as manipu-
lated by Colgate all the fall. Only
dummy play was ordered.
The visiting coaches we're Foster
Rockwell and Paul Veeder. Nothing
has been heard from "Pudge" Hefle-
finger. who left st. Paul three days ago
to assist in settling the right guard
question. IL will not be decided till
tomorrow whether Charley Gait or
Fred Graham will start the game in
that position. Graham was used in
most Of to-day's practice, although Gait
was in uniform and was in the signal
drill a short time.
To-morrow's lineup will be: Left
end, Gates; left tackle, Taft; left
guard, Black; centre, Vorys; right
guard. Gait or Graham; right tackle,
Baldridge; right end, Comerford; quar-
tcrback, Smith; left halfback, Neville;
right halfback, lie Gore; fullback,
Hutchinson.
