Ted Blair May Resume
Place at Right; Team
at Boston Tomorrow

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 16.--Head
Coach Tad Jones to-day altered plans
for sending the Yale varsity eleven
into the scrimmage because the play
ing surface in the gridiron was muddy
from recent rains. Instead, the first
and second elcvens were sent through
nearly an hour of dummy football, the
plays being run off slowly, allowing
the coaches plenty of time for individ-
ual criticism, and freeing them from
the prospect of injury through strenu-
Gus tackling.
It is likely that Yale's practice
scrimmage is over for the season, al
though the coaches said tonight that
it was barely possible that few plays
might be run off tomorrow though
sctual laboratory tory gridisron tests; ;,ors
probable.
To-day's varsity lineup follows:
HUMAN, left end; Into. left tackle;
Cruikshank. left guard; Landis. center;
Guernsey, right guard; Quai'e, right
tackle; Sturm, right end; O'Hearn
quarterback; Captain Aldrich, left
halfback; Jordan, right halfback; Mall
lory, fullback.
In two respects this is probably not
the lineup which will face Harvard.
The veteran, Ted Blair, will probably
resume his place at left end, although
Tony Humans game was gilt edged
against Princeton. Blair's physical
condition is not yet fully satisfactory,
and as it kept him from the Princeton
bout it may prevent his lining up
against Harvard.
Practices at Left End
Blair was at left end on the second
eleven for its signal rehearsal. liner
son Quaile was at right tackle, but
Jack Diller was to-day given rest and
did not report at the Bowl. He has
received no injuries, but is recuperat-
Captain Stanley Keck and Rattan, the
whirlwind Tiger tackles who faced him
Saturday. Babe" Guernsey has fully
recovered from a slight muscle bruise
he received against Princeton and has
assumed right guard regularly.
Close attention to-day was given to
the second eleven, most of whom are
expected to be used against Harvard.
The rush line consisted of Blair, left
end: Miller, left tackle; Cross, left
guard; Norris, center; Herr, right
guard; Esselstyn, right tackle, and
Deaver, right end, while Beckett, Spei-
den. Knapp and Wight composed the
backfield.
The third varsity team played the
scrubs half an hour, neither eleven
scoring. Dynamite" Murphy ran the
third team and Mike Eddy returned to
end rush for part of t e practice. it
was his first scrimmaging since his
knee was injured three weeks ago, but
he played without inconvenience to-
day, and may be called upon for emer-
gency service against Harvard.
Visiting coaches included George
Goss, Ted Lilley Paul Veeder, Babe AL
len, Bill Bonar and ex-Captain Burr
Chamberlin.
Last Workout To-day
To-morrow's practice will mark the
last appearance of the Yale team in the
Bowl, as they will depart on Thusday
-or Boston about 2 o'clock. They will
be quartered at the Belmont Country
Club. near Newtonville. The scrubs will
hold the center of the stage tomorrow
with their famous Omega lambda Chi
dance and celebration at the Bowl and
their banquet tomorrow night, at
which they break their training.
Betting has been extremely light for
the Harvard game. Yale followers be-
ing compelled to give odds of 10 to T.
