 Five important shifts in the Yale lineup were expected to give the Ellis a better punch today, as well as strengthen them defensively. BeaI has replaced Di1worth at right end and Into won the left tackle job. Three backf1eld changes will find isF1do" Kempton at quarterback III place of Murphy, Aldrich at left half. where Campbell started against the Tigers, and Sturm at fullback in place of Jordan.
 Both teams are expected to un- cover new plays today. Both have been especially pointed for this one big game and the rival coaches have | worked out special formations. Har- vard as a rule, plays relectless pounding and methodica1 football but it was predicted that the passing game will be used against Yale by the | Crimson. Yale also will uncover g few things in the aerial line that fhe has not shown so far this fall. t

Investigation Committee
 T'nkes Extended Recess

Washington, Nov. 20.-The Com mittee of 100 of which Frederick C. Howe is chairman and which has the Investigation of the cruelties in Ire after Thanksgiving when the taking of testimony will be resumed.
 The Commission was informed that the Rev. Father Griffin, of Galway, had been Kidnapped by "Black and Tan" police as he was attempting to leave Ireland for the United States. He was to testify re- garding the devastation of Galway in a recent "reprisaI' raid, but he will be unable to appear.
 The fate of Father Griffin is un- known. As a precaution, the names of ether witnesses who will testify when the commission resumes its in- quiry in December are withheld, lest they suffer a similar fate. ..
 It has already been announced that Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, widow of the Lord Mayor of Cork, will be one of them.
 The devastation of Galway was graphically described to the commit tee by Mrs. William A. King of Iron. ton. Ohio, a tall, slender, light haired woman. She explained that she went to Ireland for her health and nearly died of heart trouble because of the terrible scenes she beheld. Mrs. King

''In the course of my travels last Summer I visited Kilkenny. Water ford, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Dublin, Belfast and Galway, in addition to many smaller places. I am now convinced that an Independent re- public is Ireland's only hope. As a matter of fact, the de facto Sim Fein government has instituted reforms direly needed for a century.
 t'The Royal Irish Constabulary is only nomina1ly a police force, being actually g military force of occupa- ton that has been kept in Ireland for a hundred years.
 Arthur Griffith. acting president of Sim Fein, estimates there are now 15o.0O0 British troops in Ireland. Policemen, I was told, are shot only after they have committed murders and been duly convicted in Sim Fein courts. For instance, l was told that the three police murderers of Mayor | McCurtin, of Cork, have all been 1 killed.'
 Hackett gave a picture of the Re publican government functionins quietly and efficiently underground amid external confusion. British au- thority, he said, has dwindled to Q handful of weIl-fortified posts. He added:
 ..Protestants and Catholics alike re, tice, and in Dublin many of the Pro {: testant gentry have resigned theil British magistrates. Eighty pei cent. of the people in Ireland have
 voted for the republic.
 ''In the north of Ireland the re igious situation is kept alive by enr
