NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov. 21.-Yale's
football squad got down to the frst
real work to-day since the victory over
Princeton. The men returned from At
iantic City too late yesterday to get a
workout in the Bowl.
While the entire Yale camp Ia radiat-
ing confidence In the ability Of Capt.
Blacks team to defeat Harvard. Coach
Tad Jones this evening desired It to
be understood that he had given out
no Interview in which ne prophesled that
the Blue would triumph over the Grim
son.. 81 am confident OF the fighting
spirit OF my men. hut ! am not given
to making any predictions. ! never have
done that and 10 not propose to start
now he said.
Jones declared that II was not at all
certain that Smith would not be at
quarter when the team faced Harvard.
The little quarterback watched the
workout to-day from the slde lines. but
was not In uniform. La Roche p!loted
the eleven.
Capt. Black was not on the field. being
confined to the infrmary with a sore
throat and a slight fever. II was stated
n he would probably be In to-mor-
rows drill. His place was filled BY
"Chub' Sheldon. the tackle who q
Obliged to discontinue playing a few
weeks ago on account OF rheumatism.

minutes against the Crimson.
lie Gore. Braden. Neville and Cary all
rot of fine spirals to-day and they were
handled well b" La Roche and Var Nos
trard. Callahan passed well for the
kicking and the punters were able to
get their kicks away fast. After a few
minutes OF this sort Of work they shifted
to drop kicking and showed a good deal
OF skill In this department OF the game.
Braden was In good form and booted
goals from incredible distances and
angles. lie Gore m Neville also got
0V0r some fine kicks.
Regulars DO Little.
the men finished their preliminary
york In shor order and Their started
signals. Three teams lined up and ran
through signals for a while and then
the third and second had a good scrim-
mage, while some OF the regulars fol-
Wwed the scrimmage and also took a
Uttle bit Of the work at different stages
- the game.
The seconds went very well and sue
eeeded in carrying the ball over a
couple OF times and kicking the goal
afterward. The coaches followed the
playing closely and told the individuals
row to better their play and what TO
Expect from certain formations. The
team playing against the seconds used
Harvard formations. and so the men
yho played and also those who followed
we're greatly benefited by the work.
il may he stated here that In a good
many instances men are able to learn
more football by watching football than
by actually playing II. The faults can
he brousht To the attention Of the regu-
lars in a more impressive way. At the
eicsc OF the scrimmage the varsity lined
4p and received a few kickoTs. which IL
ran back. The first string men went in
atter this and 4 little more scrimmaee
was INDUCED in by the remainder Of the
fquad. for they had not had quite
enoulh.
The line men were closely followed at
1li times by Dr. Brides and Fudge"
Heffelfnger and Jck Gates. who gave
the men some mighty fine points. IN
backs n ends were attended TO In a
similar manner by Tad Jones, Foster
Rockwell and Alco,t.

keen interes' and many smiles Of salts

Rraden and Neville lifted long high
spirals or popped the ball between the
Nprights.
