New-York tribune., 1922-11-25

With the chill November blasts roar
ing out of the Northwest and circling
through all the hooks and crannies of
the bowl, each team went through it's
last, and aliegedly secret, practice here
this afternoon. The big Blue team took
the field at 1880. They came rollicking
across the brown fields from the ar
inory dressing-rooms, slamming foot
balls at each other, playing leap-frog,
lndulging In impromptu wrestling
bouts and raising good-natured
rough-house in general and particular.
In the midst Of the party strobe Tad
Jones, the Yale gridiron mentor, with
cigar stump stuck defantly in his
teeth.
Into ths bowl they disappeared for
their secret practice. No newspaper
writer's were allowed to pass the sacred
portals to witness the mysterious rites
OF taking last few punts, the run
ming Through signal drills, the throw
ing OF forward passes, the sundry re-
cetvers, and the burning by the scrub
team of the now useless reralia with
which they endured the "slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" at the
hands OF the regulars all season.
A star-Chamber Session
The session was so secret that none but
Students, native-born citizens Of Con-
neeticut, postofice employees friendly
2clks from town, dainty "debs" and
chattering chaPerons here for the prom
and casual visitors from Boston were
allowed TO pass the outer defenses.
With an American flag borne aloft
# the head Of the procession, the stu
oent body marched out TO the bowl
from the campus. The big bass drum
OF the brass band thumped out the
rhythm for the march step. Painted on
the drum head was n gigantic bulldog.

Haughton began the string of VIC
tories against the Blue and Bob Fisher
Kept it up, the Bulldog has gained only
one victory in eight tries. The happy
moment in the long barren years was
the time that Joe Neville slipped past
the Harvard defense for touchdown
and victory in 1919. This year New
Haven is confidently expecting a salts
factory decision in the annual debate.
The team feels, that having lost to
Prlnceton, it has to defeat Harvard to
square itself and to vindicato the
coaching of Tad Jones. Bill Mallory.
the great defensive back, will be there
tomorrow to lay low the opposing run
ners. The mere physical aid he will
l lend 20 the Yale frst line Of defense
Is outweighed by the moral effect that
y his presence will produce. Charley
Hearn and Captain Jordan will play
me other back positions, with Newell
Neidlinger at the steering wheel.
Charlie O'Hearn is At and ready. but

u big surprise. O'Hearn starred at

rected to start at quarterback and not

the lineup leaves Wight and Neale on
The sidelines.
Huffman to Play Left End
The only real injury the Bulldog is
suffering under is the loss of Mike
Eddy at end. Tony Huffman is ex-
pected to replace the veteran wingnan

Eddy's knee was thrown out of gear
heen of the coilapsihle variety ever
since. His chances of getting in the
lest big battle OF the season are worth
about 10 cents Mexican. Danny
Beaver will take care of the right wing
for the Blue. This agile athlete was

game had fairly started
