Every one is expected to be in excel
lent shape for the Yale game next Sat-
urday. Ollie Afford. who played center
last Saturday and who did better than
ever before. has his face considerably
scratched, but otherwise he is fit and
ready to take his place against the Ellis.
Jack Cleaves and Watson Crum, who
bore the brunt of the Orange and Black
offense against the stolid fenese of the
fighting Crimson linesmen, had their
physical resources drawn on Saturday
moro than at any other previous time.
Both seemed to have profited by their
one day rest and will be probably among
the scrimmagers tomorrow.
Diminutiye Bob Dinsmore was detailed
to call signals for the first eleven when
it went through plays with the rest Of
the sIuad looking on. Later in the sig
nal drill Dinsmore shared quarterback
duties Of the first eleven with Johnny
German, while Willie Wingate piloted
the second eleven. German and Dinsmore
will probably divide the honors Satur-
day, with the former more likely to
start.
The frst varsity lineup was the same
as that which started against Harvard,
except that Buzz Stout, who played a
fast and powerful game at end against
the Crimson, was substituted for I'D

in the drill. taking "Pink" Bakers place,
while Euwar was tried at quarterback
on the first combination.

big games this season. "Puffy" Bigler.

breaking through opposing linesmen,
while the ends ran down under long
punts spiraled by Joe Scheerer, star
kicker of the 1920 eleven.
Smith and Thompson essayed drop
kicks from try for point distance with
the second team and scrub lines oppos-
Ing each other. Smiths record was al
most perfect and Thompson missed only
few. The latter tried long drop kicks
from the 80, 40 and so yard lines with
varying success. Jack Cleaves was
punting close to fifty yards.
Scrub Coach Net Poe gave his ONE
lettes their final instructions in Yale plays
in the stadium. and tomorrow and
Thursday afternoons the varsity's de-

form the major part of the days prac-
