HARDER WORK FOR
THE YALE ELEVEN
Sixty Candidates Already Have
Worked Ont Early Season
Kinks.

Special Despatch 10 THE Nrw YORK HERALD.
New HAVEN. Conn, Sept. 10.--With
nearly q week of practice behind them,
the Yale football players, sixty in num-
Ter. have worked out the early season
kinks. and on Monday will be put
through more strenuous PAGES than Tad
Jones gave them thls week The first
few days of a football season simply
mean limberlng up, and because OF the
unreasonable heat the Eli squad since
Tuesday afternoon has done little but
go through the motions of elementary
training.
The coming week will doubtless see
the division OF men into squads, with the
left over varsity material from last
year and the promising freshmen of last
ran In groups most favored by the
coaches. Late in the week. II enough
progress is made, Jones Is likely to make
a selection of tentative first eleven,
and at this writing he seems TO have
fair group of players to pick from.
IL team were to be selected to-day
It might be put down on paper as fol-
lows: Ends. Cutler and Lincoln tackles
Into and Mackay; guards. Hidden and
back, O'Hearn; left halfback. Capt.
Aldrich: right halfback, Jordan full
back. Sturm.
That's not a bad lineup. Cutler was
regular en1 last year and Lincoln was
the best fiankman the 1924 team had.
Into and Mackay were regular varsity
tackles under Capt. Tim Callahan In
1920, but Dickens crowded Mackay out
In the Harvard game. Mackay played
against Princeton, however.
Hidden will doubtless fill the place
made vacant by the graduation of Tim
Callahan. He was tower of strength
on the 1924 team and is marked var
sity man this year. Herr. the fat boy.
who was good on his freshman team and
who got into the big games last year.
has not reported so far, and will not, II
Is understood. until just before the open
ing game of the Yale season that with
Bates on Saturday, September "a. Herr
is good guard and will give Quaile
and Hidden run for their money. Ian
din. also of the freshman team of last
autumn. Is another promising candidate
for guard position. Cross and Norris
are bound to put up n great fight for the
position Of centre. Cross played the
place during the greater part of last
year.
O'Hearn, who is already showing more
speed than any member of the squad out
side Of Capt Aldrich. Is the FIRST
choice for quarterback. II he continues
to improve as he has in the past this
former Exeter youth should rank with
the best of Yale quarterbacks. This
takes In such men as Foster. Rockwell.
Finke, Tad Jones, Charlie De Saullcs
and Arthur Howe.
In baseball parlance. OHearn seems
to have everything" As a kicker he Is
one of the best In the squad. AS an
open field runner and a runner back or
punts he has few suepriors and as a
line bucket Charley Is said to he as good
as the best That's cmbodylng a lot OF
good points and Its reputation to live
up to. O'Hearn has the true football in
stinct. a cool head under fire and uses
the best OF judgment In directing
team. What more could Tad Jones
want?
Many Yale team during the past ten
years has lost to Harvard or Princeton
because Of poor generalsaip on the part
OF the quarterback, but Yale looks for
better things this year.
OF course Capt. Aldrich will be found
at left halfback as usual. while Jordan
and Sturm. both of last years varsity.
will probably be his running mates.
