were given program which was
limited to an hours signal rehearsal
Scrimmaging was not attempted, and
all the actual football that the first
eleven will receive during the week
between the Princeton and the Harvard
game was the fifteen minute clash
"hich was ordered yesterday.
The coaches realize that the eleven
was badly worn down in tie Tiger
game, and that although none of the
playes bears marks or bruises, tney
VIII need the entire week TO recover
from the exhaustion of the grue.lIng
Princeton contest. The entire varsity
squad has been sleeping in the dormi-
tory of the college iniirmary on Pros
pect Hill to as. ure quiet re-'ef from
the distracted conditions of the campus.
This was dec ided upon as an extra
means for restoring the players to per
scc. physical condition.
The coaches this afternoon used
Barclay Robinson at right end. and
state that they now favor starting him
instead of Parker Allen, although they
have not made their final decision re-
sarding this position. They are aware
that Aliens injured shoulder will not
allow him to play the entire game. and
for perhaps tie first playing period.
but their opinion has changed, and
Robinson was at right end during the
entire dress rehearsal to-day.
Braden Still Off Field
Braden alone of the eleven which
the coaches expect to gridiron against
Harvard was not at the field. He has
not fully recovered from the man
handling he received in the Boston Col
lege game, although he remained in
the Princeton match nearly three play
ing periods.
The coaches insisted tonight that
praden will be started at fullback
Saturday. Howard Campbell played
the position to-day. The coaches are
Undecided whether to use him or
Donald Welles as Braden's understudy
at Cambridge. Braden is not expected
to remain in the game longer tnan
the first half.
Fo lowing the signal rehearsal the
irst eleven witnessed the twenty
minute playing period between the
second varsity and the scrubs, who were
using Harvard formations. feature
of the drill was the appearance of
"Cupid' B 'ack, who was captain OF
Yale's 1916 eleven, its last intercol-
.egiate team, in uniform. He went to
ferociously, although he was so
thoroughly exhausted when the play
ing period finished that he was helped
IF the field.
During the scrimmaglng, Carl Zen
er. one of the most promising varsity
guards, severely I'M jured his knee. He
will play no more this season. However.
he won his insignia in the Princeton
game whore he replaced Gait during
ne second half. Zenner is a former
Exeter star and was varsity substitute
at Yale three seasons ago.
Aldrich Scoring Hero
The feature of the scrimmaging be-
tween the emergency varsity eleven
and the scrubs was the halfback work
of Malcolm Aldrich. He ripped through
the scrub rushline for a twenty-yard
rain, and later went through center
for the only touchdown scored during
the afternoon.
The practice closed with protracted
punting and drop-kicking session, in
which DR.. Billy Bull paid special at
tcntion to Paul Crane, Aldrich. Jack
French and Joe Neville. Ted Lilly was
the latest addition to the visiting
coaching staff.
To-day the coaches decided to omit
The two picturesque features which

Pecved at big Bill"
The Yale coaches are diepleased over
an article which quoted William H. Ed
wards, former Princeton coach and
player. to the effect that Yale refused
to put hay or grass over the surface
of the Bowl to enable it to dry. Dr..
Albert Sharpe, Ya(e's athletic director,
SAID tonight, in speaking OF this arti-
Gle, that he was surprised to learn
that Edwards felt that Yale would do
such a thing.
The Yale coaches authorized a state
ment to the effect that the Bowl had
been soaked by five days Of rain lust
previous to the Princeton game. and
that on Friday the weather cleared and
a strong wind blew over the surface.
