HOLDS SECRET
DRILL IN CAGE
Bulldogs Sharpen Teeth
for the Annual Chew at
the Tigers

New Haven. Nov. 14.-Yale's football
eleven did not even visit the gridiron
this afternoon nor indulge IN serim-
mage practice. In an attempt to re-
cover from the ineuess Of physical
condition into which the hrst-string
nlsvers have lapsed the two first
elcvens were simply taken TO the base
hall cage for an hours secret signal
rehearsal, the only work prescribed to-
day. ,.., II
in point Of physical condition, all
tho nlaycrs showed some Improvement,
and Cantain Black, Harry lie Gore and
charley Comerford who have displayed
tho most aggravated signs of overwork,
will not be used extensively IN the
two scrimmagc drills before the
Princeton game. Scrimmaging has
occn ordered for tomorrow and Thurs
dsv and tho PLAYERS who have not gone
sfslo will get hard and long drill.
To-dav's signal lineup was an
,ounced as the nearest approach the
coaches can make at present TO a de1-
mite selection Of the eleven at Tiger
town. Il was as follows:
Left end. Moseley; left tackle, Gates;
left guard. Black; centre, Callahan;
right guard. Fox; right tackle, balo-
ridge: right end. Comerford; quarter
hack. Smith; left halfback, Neviile'
tight halfhack, lie Gore; fulibsck'
Jacques.
Oarsman at Guard
This makeup Of the team cmbodles
several unexpected changes which the
coaches have tentatively decided upon
The choice of Larry Fox, the six-foot-
dve-inch varsity oarsmsn. replacing
Charley Calf at right guard, IS per
hans the most startling. Fox never
plaved football till this fall. but Is
physically much stronger and faster
than Gait, who weighs 227 pounds,
total greater than Yale coaches have
allowed in recent years IN their selee-
ton Of rush-line material.
Gait to-day returned TO the squau
after a weeks absence due to illness
He was the best guard OF the fresh-
man eleven last year. but has not 1ulIy
recovered his strength from his reeeh.
illness, and Fox, who is In peIlect
nbvsicaI condition, is now favored for
the position. He is hardly Morse
man. and weighs 2l0 pounds.
Fullback Jim Braden limped to-day
showing the effects of his recent
muscle bruise, and Emil Jacques has
been reinstated, probably permanently
al fullback This playing combination
allows the coaches to use Joe NeVliiS
Al left halfback. Braden will be held
in reserve as pinch punter. drop kicker
and line rammer. AS an emergency
back he has no equal on the lsle
SQUAD. hut his regular back field play
hss been inconsistent and often ragged.
IL Brsden we're started at fuliback,
with lie Gore at right haltoack, IL
vould be necessary to hold Neville IN
reserve for punting purposes. Ihese
three rlayers are Yale's only passaoie
hunters, and the coaches will not start
the entire trio in the back held.
Hutchinson in Reserve
Inc coaches believe that Callahan,
in his present first class physical con-
dition, slightly outclasses hutchinson
especially in accurate punting. Hutch
inson will be retained as first substl-
tuts centre and second reserve full-
back.
frllv recovered from his recent muscle
bruise has led the coaches TO favor
switching Art Gates from left END 70
left tackle, and in giving left end 70
George Moseley.
Every member Of the eleven was
back in the signal lineup to-day ex-
cent Bob Bingham and Club Sheldon,
whom illness has removed from the
