SMALLEST SQUAD
In YEARS AT YALE
Two Stars of 20 Freshman
Team, However, Expected
To Bolster Varsity.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 10
Yale's football squad, which has
been at work on Pratt Field all the
week, today scattered to their
homes for a weekend recess. They
have worked through a daily drill
of rudimentary football, which has
made a forecast possible of the
general rating of Yale's gridiron
team and of the lineup in the open
ing game, which will be played with
Bates College. September "a.
tale's smallest squad in recent
years has been marshalled and the
material does not contain a star of
intercollegiate first rank. No play
er who won rating on all-Amerlcan
team Is contained in the squad. The
most valuable veterans are Capt.
Malcolm Aldrich halfback; Eli Cut
Ter. end, and Albert Into. guard and
tackfn.
Aldrich is of slender physique and
exceedingly prone to injury. Fol
two years he has been out of the
play a large part of the season he
cause of hurts received shortly
after the beginning of practice. Cut
Ter was a regular last year and an
end of reliable merit, rarely a bril-
liants performer.
Into, who came to Yale from
Maryland University, possesses
great possibilities, but was ont uf
condition and below his best play
ing form most of last year. IndI-
cations are that ne will be moved
out to tackle and that he will dis
play far superior TO last years
form.
From the brilliant freshman class
eleven of last fall twp y Tyars stand
out in the squad which has report
ed for practice, Chas O'Hern, uuar-
terback, and Phil Blair tackle and
captain. More Is expee'ed of O'Heain
than any other individual perform
er, for he will not only succeed
Thomas Murphy and 'Fido" Kemp
ton as the regular quarterback in
general, but his specialties as pass.
err, punter and drop kicker are like
ly to figure in YaIe's new strategy
of 1921.
'Blair's tackle play won him rat
ing as member of the mythical, ALL
American freshmaa team Head
Coach Tad Jones, however. mas
taken an unexpected experimental
step in pushing him out to end rush
where he is likely q be used in the

TIGER GAME BIG
One FOR VIRGINIA
Grid Squad Hard at Work
Under Coach Warren
For Past Week.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. Sept
1o.-The appearance on the 1921
football schedule OF Princeton is
certain to prove a big feature of
Virginia's season. While Virginia
has been playing Princeton more or
less regularly in past years on the
diamond, it has been a long time
since their last gridiron meeting,
Delving into old files discloses the
fact that the last meeting Of these
two teams on the football field was
at Princeton, November 2, 1898,
when the Tigers were victorious,
IL to o.
The search also revealed that
Princeton and Virginia had met
five times previously, with the
Virginians victorious in one of
these battles. The records of these
games follow:
October rs. 1890, at Baltimore
Princeton, lis; Virginia, 0.
October %, 1891, at Charlottes-
ville-Princeton, 0; Virginia, IL.
October Is, 1894. at Baltimore
Princeton, ~; Virginia 0.
October 9. 1895, at Baltimore
Princeton. So: Virginia, o.
October 81, 1896, at Princeton
Princeton, As; Virginia, 0.
November 2. 1898, at Princeton
Princeton, IL; Virginia. o.
Two other new teams appear on
the Virginia schedule for the
coming season. These are George
Washington and West Virginia. A
similar search through old records
shows that Virginia has met both
of these teams but once before. In
1898 West Virginia was victorious
over Virginia, to 0. at Charles
ton, w. Va, and in 1906, in Wash
ington, D. c., Virginia and George
Washington played a 0-to-o tie.
Firginia's preseason squad of
about 20 men has been vigorously
at work for the last week. This
number includes eight letter men
of the fourteen who are expected
to return this season. The remain
ing letter men and several more of
the members of the previous years
squad are looked for early next
week. So far DIR. Warren has con-
fined his efforts to getting the men
into good physical trim to stand
the strain of the real game.
Rinehart and Witt have been
doing the passing for the past few
days and Davis has handled the
punting end. The squad received a
good man in Sam Maphis who ap-
pears this fall for the first time on
Lambeth Field.

make a constant conscious effort to avoid
falling off. Aside from the ever.present
danger of fall causing injury or loss OF
nerve, there is the intense nervous strain
which sooner or later will produce nervous
disease. In which tremor or trembling ap-
pears under sligh: excitement, Such a con-
dition ends the performers career as an
equilibrist.
The most difficult and least appreciated
OF the acrobatic leats are those performed
by the circus clowns and the acrobatic
comedians. Accidents occur far more fire.
Quently among these than among any other
class of performers, but the injuries are
usually slight. as the comedians expect ac-
cidents and take precautions to minimize
the physical effects of their funny falls,
slips, trips and slides. In some cases the
performer uses pads and straps to lessen
the shock; In other cases the performer
depends upon a knack or trick to avoid
injury These performers endeavor to
amuse and not TO thrill, but their acts con
tain the same elements that thrill, and, in
addition, funny features like mishaps
awkward postures, grimaoes, etc, that
cause a laugh and kill the thrill.
Joe Jackson. the eccentric bicyclist, is
a. remarkable trick rider, and would get

as much applause for his riding feats as
he does for his funny falls. But so funny
are his misadventures that one never thinks
Of his riding ability, though that is part
of his act. Jackson really does hurt him
self occasionally, but never severely
enough to make him lose performance.
The Dooleys-GOrdon, Johnny, Rae and
the late Willie Dooley-had a collection
of falls. slides and trips that we're ex.
tremely funny, bW they we're sometimes
very painful and frequently left their mark

lam had a funny trip, staggering like
drunken man and swaying at the edge CT
the stage, Strengthening out at the mo-
ment that he was about to topple headlong
into the orchestra. This feat requires
strength, skill, a steady eye and complete
control over the muscles.
-Gordon's trick is a trip and fall, appar-
emily upon his ear. He really falls upon

Where this Is frequently repeated the
heart, blood vessels and brain become dis

The equilibrist's act presents the same
dangers as the trapeze act. There Is the
same nervous strain, perhaps even greater,
as the liability to slip and miss Is greater.
There is, moreover, a knack in maintain.

this readily and maintain their balance
