Street ClOtheS-Neville
Stars on Varsity

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 22.-Captain
! Clinton Black and Traver Smith, the
only two Yale players who are out OF
condition, were at the Bowl for to-
davis practice. Smith was in uniform
and was placed 1T quarterback on the
second eleven, which did no scrimmag-
ing. but took nearly an hours signal
drill. Black wore his street clothes
and was wrapped in a heavy fur over
coat. He followed the practice closely,
! and said that he felt tip top.
The coaches again stated tonight
that both these players would start
next Saturdays game. Most Of the
first string players have been taken to
the college infirmary, to avoid the noise
on the college campus the remaining
nights before the Harvard game.
La Roche Runs Team.
I Black and Smith are still a trIhe
weak from the effects of their recent
illness, and it is not believed that they
will try 10 play the whole OF Satur-
DAVIS game. Chester La Roche ran the
eleven to-day in good style. and Charlie
Gait was at left guard. The regular
ends, George Moseley and Charlie Com
! erford, had rest Frank Lynch and
Heylinger Church replacing them.
Otherwise the lineup was the same as
In the Princeton game.
The only scrimmage practice OF the
week was held. and as Saturdays con-
test will ring down the curtain on the
Yale schedule, it will be the last OF
the season. Only ten minutes play
/ was ordered, but it was Of the slam
bang variety and disclosed Joe Neville
as the ground gaining hero.
I On the third play, with the varsity
in possession of the ball in midheld,
Neville ripped free around left end
for ten yards. He repeated the dash
on the next scrimmage for 3O-yaru
gain, which melted the regulars their
, first touchdown.
Putting the ball in play at the var
sity 20-yard line the regular backs
I dashed eighty yards for their second
and final touchdown, lie Gore working
a skin tackle play for five, Jacobus pene-
/ trating centre for ten, and La Roche
/ heaving forward pass to Neville,
who caught the ball and tore forty
yards for the score:
The visiting coaches included Jack
Field, Ted Lilley, "Pudge" Heffel.-
finger, Jack Gates, Foster Rockwell
| and Walter Camp.
The varsity lineup follows:
Left end. Lynch; left tackle, Gates;
left guard, Gait; centre, Callahan
right guard, Fox; right tackle, Bald
ridge; right end, Church; quarter
back, La Roche; left halfback, Ne
Vile; right halfback, lie Gore; full
back, Jacobus.
All Records Broken.
! The Yale Football Association to-
night asserted that the demands for
tickets for the Yale-Harvard game ex-
. ceeded all previous records. The
association has been unable to respond
favorably to nearly 10000 requests for
seats, having sent back about S20,0O0
which had been forwarded by persons
who made formal application for tex
! cts. It has been impossible to provide
/ tickets for students in the PROBES
were late in filing their applica--
tions, and for many city officials ana
prominent business men.
Although there is drastic New
Haven ordinance against specializing in
/ tickets for any amusement or athletic
event in New Haven, spectators have
begun to offer pasteboards in local
cafes for prices ranging from $40 to
$50 each, according to the location Of
the seats offered.
A large number of people who came
from the West to see the game without
definite assurance of tickets has been
obliged to pay almost fabulous prices
to the SPECTATORS in order to insure
their presence at the game.
