Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 26.-Final practice
for the West Point game. with the ex-
ception of brief signal drill which will
be staged tomorrow, was held this after
noon by the Yale varsity. Following out
a program of light work before hard
game. Tad Jones ran his men through a
signal drill and then they engaged in a
short dummy scrimmage.
Miller, right tackle, was wearing a
black eye to-day, sort OF souvenir
picked up in yesterdays scrimmage with
the freshmen, but 1t failed to interfere
with his play. Mike EDDY whose leg
was bruised earlier in the week and who
was believed to stand no chance of play
ing in the Army game, was in his reg
ular place at left end. There is. how
ever. still some doubt as to whether or
rot he will oppose the Cadets.
Joss, the big tackle, who has won
place on the left side of the line. was
off the team for part of the drill this
afternoon but is almost certain to start
the game Saturday. He has leg bruise
which Johnny Mack is nursing carefully.
Yale needs JOSS Saturday, at tackle plays
are among the Army's best cards.
When the dummy scrimmage was over
Whitley Neale and Ted Wight got OF
some long punts and the varsity was
given some excellent practice in getting
down under the kicks.
Beckett Calls Signals.
An encouraging part Of the afternoons
drill was the appearance OF Beckett, uis
abled quarterback, on one OF the SCRUB
teams. Beckett called signals and went
through the PAGES with hardly visible
trace of his ailment. and while he can
not play against the Army he is liKeiy 70
direct the team against Brown week
from Saturday.
Charlie O'Hearn's injury is healing SO
slowly that he will be kept out of the
game for two more weeks, and II ne
rIavs against Princeton the coaches VIII
be satisfied. O'Hearn and Neale did
some drop kicking just before going into
the city.
Tod Rafferty,, captain OF the 1903 team,
heIped in coaching the ends. The wings
and tackles have been Yale's weak
points in the games this season. pue
considerable improvement mas pee'l
made at these points during the iast
ten days. -, A.
The city is prepared to handle tne
biggest football throng in the history
of the game anu lDiS dOCS iAON
crowds at Harvard and Princeton OF the
rast few Years. There never was a
year that the ticket department couio
not count on the return of several nu',
dred tickets just previous to pls
game. but not a pasteboard has peea
returned this time. according TO II. + :.
Woodcock. general manager OF the atm
letic department.
with the prospects Of fine day
Saturday" Mr.. Woodcock said to-nlgh'
Everybody is holding fast to his
tickets. In my experience at Yale, l
have never seen such demand for
tickets for a Yale game. I am con-
fdent that Yale and.the Army will play
Saturday before the largest football
crowd ever gathered together in this
country"
Great welcome for Cadets.

n great welcome. An undergraduate
committee of 100 men has been ap-

of the program will be luncheon for
