BIG THREE HOLD
 PROUD POSITION
Face Their Most Important Con-
 tests in Splendid Condition

NeW Haven, NOV. 1.-The Yale team in its game against Colgate Sat urday clearly showed It's willingness and ability to take up the modern of- fense of forward passing and this was matter of great satisfaction to the big crowd of Yale rooters who had come out to see the contest, but tho team also gave evidence that 1t had departed from the time honored cus- tom at Yale of having a line through which tt was impossible to gain.
 When Tad Jones came back this fall as head coach after a four years ab- sence one of the most prominent of tho present undergraduates who is captain of one of the teams inquired in the presence of the head coach without knowing he was there:
 What we want to know about this fellow Jones is. does he believe in a forward pass %
 To which Jones replied that he be- lieved in a forward pass for any team whose members were capable of talk ing 1t mp. In Saturdays game against Colgate the team demonstrated that ones had believed that this team could forward pass. and much moro ground was gained by Yale on this play than was gained by Colgate. one of the touchdownS was the direct result Of it. Forward passing led up to both of tho others.
 The Yale line, however. at times showed itself to be weak. Webster, the Colgate halfback had no trouble in gaining through it i.me after time. The chief reason for this undoubted- ly was that so many of the regular linemen were not in the lineup but it nevertheless was disconcerting. A sa tA hN vices of the veterans. Tom Dickens at tackle, Johnnie Acosta at guard and Tim Callahan at cenrre, is naturally weakened when they are all gone.
 In fact, the only veteran lineman who played Saturday was Leon Walk CT, who was at tackle and who played his best game this season. He played so well that he undoubtedly will hold his position and should Dickens bo able 10 come back, Mckay. the big 230-pound tackle, will become a first substitute.
 Eli Cutler at end did better than he has before this season. At the other end Dilworth made amends for disap- pointing playing early in the game, for just at the close he took n long forward pass over the line. As for MacKay. Cruikshank and Cross at tackle. guard and centre. they showed lack of experience. They all will be back next year and the first named two for two years more. and will un- doubtedly develop into good men be- fore they are through.
 Should Dickens be unable to como back. there is more than a likelihood that Capt. Callahan will go to some other line position. probably tackle. and Bill Golvin go to centre. Another possibility is the keeping of Capt. Callahan at centre and the moving of Into to either guard or tackle.
 Though the work of Dilworth wasn't up to the hopes of the end coaches, he showed improvement and will not he displaced. There is no gamer, harder player on the Yale team than Wilworth. but he lacks experience. He doesn't get down under kicks as fast as he should. but seems able to handle forward passes. which is the shouted demand from the Yale public, which has forgotten. apparently the ex- perienCe of last year when Yale so long as the team played the old fash toned game with which it was thor oughly familiar. succeeded. and lost as soon as it took up the modern game about which it knew nothing.
 There were no additions to the Yale hospital list as the result of Satur days game. Frank Kelly got n bang on the head which forced his unwilling retirement to the sidciineS, but could have gone back later in the game if if had been necessary. He had done excellent work in the ba ckfield before he went out. Howard Campbell also reminded former stu~ ~ents of Phillips Exeter of the great games he used to play there and showed flashes of his old time form. Do Jordan, another former Exeter star. did good work from time to time.
 Kempton will probably play quar- terbaek against Brown. and Murphy be saved for the Princeton game. The work of the week will be more toward developing the team for Princeton and varsity men will be withheld from the Brown game at the risk of losing it. and saved for the Invasion of the jungle a week from next Saturday.
 Tn tho signal drills this week. Calla- han. AIdrich and Murphy will he used. but if is doubtful if they will he used for scrimmaging and there is a possi- bility that none of them will play against Brown.
