Y ale Football
Squad Already
Ir1 Fine Trim

The end of the second weeks early
training finds the Yale football squad
in excellent physi condition. Despite
the hot weather. which has prevailed
during the whole period of trainin;~
every man on the squad has put os
weight Under the daily grind. Coach
Jones has been working his men about
two hours and half each afternoon
and has only called morning practice
Tor the punters and drop kickers.
Every afternoon of the last week
dummy scrimmage between two teams
picked from the varsity squad has been
the main part of the work
There have only been three scrinn-
images so far and they have been linn
tied to ten minutes, due to the warm
weather. TIE teams which have met
for three afternoons have been evenly
matchd teams picked from among the
first string men, and during the course
OF play practically every man on the
squad has heen substituted. Nothing
like a definite lineup has as vet been
determined, but this should develop
early next week. as the first game is
with Bates next Saturday.
Last years backs have been reeling
of some pretty runs ard several line
men from the championship 1eas
freshmen team have shown up strong
in the daily fracas. SO far Jones has
used only straight line plays and this
will probably be continued during the
carly season work until the eleven has
more confidence in its own play
The varsity squad now numbers
forty-fve. The arrival Of Wight sub

the heaviest man on the squad. He

and is also the shortest man, being only
feet inches tall.
Outside of 0eG. substitute quarter
last year, who broke a bone in his
hand in scrimmage Thursday, there
have been no casualties beyond minor
bruises and scratches. Candidates for
/ the wing position who have been
showing, up particularly well are Hui
man Blair, Cutler, Deaver, Lincoln,
Eddy and Joss. The first four men
won their Us last year, while Eddy
would have undoubtedly have gotten
into one of the big games had not
