YALE FOOTBALL men
RESPOND TO CALL
CorWin Says Eli Spirit Still Ex-
lists and Team Will Be Formed

New Haven, Oct. 24.--Yale was
face to face last night with that old
question OF supply and demand. But
the old Yale spirit Is going to bring
about a solution. With plans conf
nlete for the organization of an in
formal university football team COM
posed Of upper class men to play
games with other colleges and the
elevens from the military training
camps candidates met at the ticket
office yesterday afternoon in answer
to the first call.
?About score of men physically
capable Of withstanding the rigors OF
the game were among the crowd that
gathered Prof. Robert N. Corwin.
athletic adviser and DR.. Arthur
Brides, who has taken the place OF
Tad Jones as coach, believing thai
the notice of the call had been too
short immediately issued another call
and last night, with all other stu
dents safely tucked in their beds, cam
didates and coaches and advisers met
on the campus.
"The Yale spirit is still here" said
Prof. Corwin. There is no question
of the desire of the students here to
| have their football as in years pastH
! We are highly optimistic that the
! meeting tonight will draw out enough
! men to fill up 3. large enough squad
| to furnish the informal team which
! the university is planning to put In
the field. The point. however, which
| l wish to emphasize is this: That 1t.
is the desire of every man in the coli
lege- to have a team and the only thing.
which will prevent them from orr
ganizing one will be the shortage OF,
| material"
DR., Brides the coach, felt the same
way about it. Early in the evening
he and his assistants were busy rout-
ing out every Yale man who has q
laundering for the sport and appears
capable of being turned into suitable
material. Student organizations have
added their weight and are working
; hard to make the team a reality. Off
t cial of the Reserve Ofhcers Training
Corps, Of (which nearly every man In
the university Is member, have
agreed to allow football candidates to
drill in the morning instead Of after
noon in order that they may attend
football practice.
= So farano list Of candidates has
!. been compiled, but the coaches believe
- that If enough men present them !
> selves they can put out a team that
- will have the old Yale punch.

MAY DISCONTINUE ROWING
Few Oarsmen on Hand for Fall Prac-
tice and Courtney May Give Up
Work Until Early in Spring.

Ithaca, Oct. 24.-Assistant Coach
John Collyer of the Cornell crews was
in the city over the weekend discuss
ing the rowing situation at Cornell
this year. He will not remain here
to aid Coach Courtney in the fall
practice, but will be hand when
the spring work commences.
It is likely that fall practice for
the crews will be given up in the near
future. Coach Courtney had few
varsity and freshman oarsmen out on
the water at the Cayuga Inlet Satur-
day, but the number reporting for
regular work is not deemed sufficient
to keep the boathouse open any
longer during the cooler weather. If
fall practice is given up now the can
didatcs will be excused from further
work until December or January
when machine drill will start at the
gymnasium.
That Cornell is in favor Of varsity
and freshman rowing schedules next
spring is shown in the negotiations
which the Cornell authorities have
opened with Harvard, Yale and
Princeton regarding intercollegiate
regattas next May.

stable companion for his other thor
oughbreds, raced like a really good

PRINCETON TO HAVE TEAM
Faculty Grants Students Permission to
Play Yale and Harvard.

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 24.-Close in
it is to form an informal football
team came permission from Prince
ton faculty yesterday afternoon for
the organization of a similar eleven
at Old Nassau. The students petit
toned the faculty for permission to
organize a team to meet an eleven
from Camp Dix, at Wrightstown, N.
j., in the Palmer Stadium on Satur-
day afternoon, and the request read
ilv was granted. 1t is regarded as
almost certain that the Yale and Har-
ward games will be played on an in
formal scale.
Princeton has had no varsity eleven
this fall. The board of athletic con-
troll ordered the Suspension of all par
ticipation in athletics with other col
leges when war was declared last
spring, and this fall it decided that
it was inadvisable to organize q team.
Lack of men who would wish to
play football and inability to finance
contests were given as the main rea-
sons. Upon the receiving of the in
vitation from Camp Dix, however,
football men expressed their desire
that a contest be arranged, and the
faculty committee gave consent. The
conviction that athletics should be
encouraged in the army camps is
said to have been one of the impor-
tant factors in causing the Prince
ton authorities to make their de-
cision.

ATHLETES TO STICK.
New Haven Boys Will Not Rejoin Club
Despite \. A. Z. Action.

New Haven, Oct. 24.-Despite the
action Of the investigators in granting
Director John c. Collins a clean bill of
health in the New Haven A. A. squab-
BILE, there will be no rallying to the
colors by the rebellious athletes ac-
cording to the word passed around in
local athletic circles last night. The
athletes, who severed their connec-
tons with the organization, following
bitter arraignment of the club as
conducted under the present regime,
claim that the finding does not alter
their decision to stand pat. One of
the leaders authorized statement
last night to the effect that the ath-
letes will run unattached rather than
reurn to the fold.
The finding in the case, which ex-
onerates Collins, was not unexpected
by the athletes themselves. Several
belligerents expressed the opinion that

powers that be-" while others stated

Against Freshman Eleven.

Against Freshman Eleven.
Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 24.-Har-
wards informal football players had
their first glimpse Of the season of
head coach Percy Haughton yester.
day afternoon. The veteran coach
watched the scrimmage between the
varsity substitute team and the fresh
men and saw the college team score
five touchdowns. Hoffman, the quar-
terback, did some beautiful open held
running.
Coach Haughton, who is also sup
posed to be coaching, the Camp Dew
ems team, which Harvard will meet on
Saturday at Aver because the soldiers
cannot come here, did little coaching
yesterday afternoon, but will be back
on the job in earnest If it is decided
at New Haven that a team can be de-
veloped to play against Harvard
little later in the season.
Today the varsity regulars were
scheduled to scrimmage against Bos-
ton college, aaginst which they scored
a touchdown last week.
Henry H. Faxon was elected cap
tain of the freshman eleven yester-
day. He played three years at Mil
ton Academy and plays tackle on the
freshman team, being one of the like
Hest players on the "1uad.
