YALE TEAM OFF
TO BATTLE SCENE
Big Football Rally Held at New
Haven Last Night

New Haven Conn, Nov, IA coll
umn Of smoke carried off on the air
currents of the HoWl and fading away
into a Sky of perfect blue, almost
Yale Blue, marked the final rites over
discarded set OF Old Yale football
handages, pads and jerseys yesterday
afternoon. These appcndagcs were
once cherished belongings Of the
much battered scrub team, For two
months Or. Bul Bulls men have
been giving their time, bodies and
brains to the development Of one of
the best Yale teams that ever wore
the Blue. Their faithful services
ended yesterday noon when Tad
Jones called it a day and the GUS
tomary bontlrcs of discarded toys fol-
lowed.
Cheers were passed between the
varsity and the scrubs and a feeling
of cheertulness in its advanced stages
perVaded the entire squad. Not for
years has Yale felt so hopeful of an
neXing a Harvard scalp as it has this
year, and all the pent up feeling came
to the surface yesterday afternoon
anu 'N'lllllS' fll' l1lHl us IL W 40 lool-
ball mad and at a big rally in Wool
sey Hall there was more real enthus-
iasm than the New Haven university
has witnessed in many a year
Tad Jones and MAC" Aldrich were
the speakers at the rally and the
great hall was crowded to the roof,
the student body and hundreds of
members of the faculty being on hand
for the occasion If Yale doesn't beat
Harvard on Saturday there" will be
1900 sorely disappointed members of
the university in or on their way to
New Haven late in the evening. Yale
can see nothing but Aldrich's team.
The student body is back of it to a
man, and in the opinion of each and
every Yale man Harvard has no look
in whatever. Yale is willing to put
all the money it can borrow from
home at the ratio of 10 to 7 on its
team, and some of the more daring
have telegraphed a stock of it to
Cambridge to be placed at 10 to s.
Dummy Scrimmage Held.
The varsity was sent through a soft
scrimmage yesterday after
noon in the final practice in New Ha- |
ven this fall, the prepared program
which called for a scrimmage being
by Jones. The only sem
blance of work was a dummy scrim- |
mage against the second varsity, but
it was of the light variety. The var
sity took the field as it will face Har-
ward, with one exception, that of
right tackle. Quaile went through
the motions yesterday afternoon, but
there is every indication that Dillon |
