YALE COACHES ARE
 SILENT ABOUT TEAM
Followers of Blue Admit Tigers Were Superior Last Saturday

New Haven, Nov. 17-Yale coaches and football officials refused to comb ment on Saturdays game in any man. ner, which fact has caused great dis cussion here. 1t was simply stated that there will be no experiments this week with either the lineup or plays. Exactly the same playing combination which was sent against Princeton Saturday will be used the coming week end in the Harvard sta dium
 The coaches, the undergraduates and the alumni believe that the strongest eleven men which could be plcked from the undergraduate body 10 form the first eleven are now side by side in the varsity ranks, and that they are capable of playing a game oo per cent. more effective than they displayed against Princeton.
 Head Coach Sharpe said last nighE that today's work would include a. thorough signal rehearsal, but no scrlmmag1ng for the men who met Princeton. Five elevens have been retained until the last week of the season, three more than ever were kept in uniform heretofore until the curfew sounded the knell of the schedule. The third fourth and fifth teams will get heavy scrimmage program the first three days of thisf week. and the first and second vars ity teams will be ordered through 0 snappy but brief scrimmage practice on Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Both of Lays ears were slightly cut Saturday, but he will not be kept out of the lineup either in practice this week or in next Saturdays game. Thorne Murphy and Fred Webb have left the hospital squad. They joineAT the squad today for Q light workout.
 Most Yale athletic officials claim that the reason for the teams poor showing on Saturday was a weak pre- liminary schedule It has been com monly commented that Yale should have had one or two setbacks similar to Princeton and conditions would have been different. The Boston col lege game was simply physical sounding and evidently did not giVN any experience which helped to im- prove the team. .. ..sa
 The team that met Yale, yesterday and the one that went down to defeat before Colgate were not the same. The two defeats and the tie with Har- yard were invaluable to the Tiger in that the Faults Of the Orange aaTdt Black eleyenywerea revealed, and time was available in which the coaoWeS could. remove them.
 The coaches here are confident that a different sort of football will be dis played by theae eleven in the contest next week in Cambridge than was shown yesterday in the tilt with Princeton, and that the si team will profit by. all the mistakes made yes- terday# Ut isf regrettableS generally that the game with Princeton should be the one in which all the mistakes should have been made. instead of ono 1 ofrthe games earliersin the season.
 The, undergradnates of the univers- ] ity..are not. trying to make altbis for their eleven. They confess that Yale was .outplayed in all respects. The tackIing of the Tiger team was far superior to that of the Ell team; fo1'~ ward passes stwere executed in a&man- ner that made Y ales attempts appear pitiful; Princeton funbled@ less and ma,de more first downs. These facts are admitted#by the undergraduates. and they are giving Princeton all credit for the we'll deserved victory.
