ARMY ELEVEN AWAITED
BY PHILADELPHIA FANS

PHILADELPHIA, November %
Foot ball fans were eager today
to see the Army team practicing on
Franklin Field preliminary to its
contest with Navy Saturday. Dope"
on the team was in the air every
where. The midshipmen will arrive
tomorrow.
Preparations for the accommodation
of the upward of $4,000 visitors ex-
pected here was the cue for a large
number of stage folks to give voice
to exclamations of Indignation. when
they were informed this morning that
they would have to give up their
hotel rooms for a day or two. as they
had been reserved many months ago
for patrons of the game. In vain
they pleaded with managers and
clerks, arguing that they would be
guests for weeks. whereas the visi-
tors would be here for perhaps only a
day.
Finally they realized that Army
Navy day is a gala affair. an institu-
tion with traditions that must be up
held at all costs. and they scurried
off for quarters in private homes and
boarding houses.
Tickets for the game may be pur-
chased for a price-it was learned
after a survey of certain cigar stores,
hotel lobbieS and other haunts of the
ticket scalper. The price asked was
s25 apiece and upward-mostly up
ward.
The scalpers are not offering seats
in the north and south stands, the
most advantageous points from which
to view the field. but indicate that
if they got any the price might go
as high as 5000.
University of Pennsylvania authori-
ties reported that they are doing
what they can to prevent scalping
They believe that they have reduced
such sales to a minimum.

with this they have speed and expert

Hopkins lost its first state contest
last Saturday after a valiant struggle

LOYALTY Of GR|DMEN
IS PAINFUL TO YOST
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 2s.-Loyalty of
foot ball players to their coach usually
is expressed in victories on the gridiron.
Fielding H. Yost, veteran mentor at the
University of Michigan. knows his play
ers have an additional way of express
ing their loyalty besides winning games.
The Wolverine coach nursed a body
that was black and blue from the waist
up for a week after the Michigan-O Ohio
State game, due to the "expressions' of
loyalty from his players. according to
a story just revealed by Yost's admirers.
The desire of the Wolverines to win
that particular game was so intense
that. during the period of practice, Yost
received no less than a thousand slaps
on the back or pokes in the ribs as
expressions Of loyalty from his players
1T got to be fright" Yost is quoted
as saying. Every time one of those
kids wanted to convince me Of their
sincerity to defeat Ohio State got a
wallop My back was sore and black
and blue for week after it."

Standing on Yale's practice field

Yale foot ball players have known so

Yale M -ale Is keen and highly

81. BY Princeton Defeat.
The team accepted it's defeat by
Princeton and accords the Tigers the
highest need of praise. but not a
man feels that this beating proves
anything that would tend to destroy
faith in the potential strength of the
eleven. Indeed, there is an impression
that the defeat in the Palmer4tadium
was the lash that was needed to bring
this band of stalwart, clear-eyed
young Yale athletes to the proper
competitive pitch.
Against Harvard the Ellis will be
able to put their full strength: that
is, they will have Mallory, Wight,
Neidlinger and Jordan in the back
field, Human Deaver and Luman, first
string ends; Diller and Miller at the
tackles, Cruickshank and Cross at the
guards and Lovejoy at center.
At and ready for backfield replace
ment duty and there is plenty OF
qualified material for all line posi-
tions.
Harvard's defense will be strong
and discerning, but it would seem as
though Yale has the weapons where
with to force penetration of the Har-
ward wall. On the contrary. unless
the Crimson has improved greatly. II
would seem as though the Harvard
defensive game is not sufficiently CO.
ordinated to make dangerous gains
through the Yale line or around the
ends. -,
Small doubt that the Crimson VIII
make strong efforts to break Yale
defensive triangles, which include
tackles, ends and wing backs on
either side. but while sweeps and
they are not. as has been said above,
likely to be dangerous gains.
Harvard Has Not Impressed.
Harvard to date has not given
single hint of great possibilities for
deep inroads into enemy territory.
She may have tnat power and it may
show against Yale. If SO it will be
surprising and will be great tribute
not only to last ditch ability OF the
coaches and to the spirit of the
players.
Yale, on the other hand. has de-
yeloped a. real punch of varied sorts.
She took it with her to the Prince
ton game. but did not know how to
employ her new possession to the
best advantage. If there is anything
in Yale foot ball at all-and every
one knows there is-then the Eli
coaches and players have profited by
the lessons learned in the Princeton
game.
In all that has been said the writer
is assuming that Wight or O'Hearn
will punt for Yale and that either
one or the other will be able to last
the game. A lot will depend on the
punting. For Gehrke of Harvard is a
fine booter of the ball, and Yale must
match him in order that the superior
ity in other departments which she
seems to possess may be fully
utilized.
Downfield Yale should be at least
Harvard's equal. perhaps her superior.
