YALE BACKS SLATED
FOR NEW SHAKEUP
Return Of O'Hearn Starts
Fight for Privilege of Fac
ing Army Saturday.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, Oct 22.-The
twenty or more Yale players who got
into the game against Williams Satur-
day came out of the contest uninjured
Rolly Knapp turned his ankle slightly
IN the third quarter. but it was not
serious enough to cause his retirement
and he will be able to play against West
Point next Saturday If his services are
needed.
With the return of Charlie O'Hearn
TO active duty there will be shakeup
in the Yale backfield this week O'Hearn
Will probably be found in his regular
place at quarterback, although there are
many here who are of the opinion that
Jones should give him a tryout at half
hack. Neidlinger. who has been running
the Yale team for the last two weeks,
will move back to his old place at half
and his companions in the backfie1d for
the Army game will be Capt. Jordan
snd Bill Mallory.
Whitley Neale has just recovered from
pulled tendon in his leg. His work
against Williams was of high caliber, so
good. in fact, that he is likely to have
first call over Wight, Knapp, Hass.
Knowles and other aspirants for back
field job. He is almost sure to get into
the west fNOllt SdiHe ana IIldy Steail a.
ha1fback instead of Neidlinger.
If O'Hearn cannot play through the
entire game. and it looks at this writ
ing that he will be unable to. Neidlinger
will be recruited as a quarterback, leav-
ing a place in the backfield for Neale.
While Adams played a smart game yes
.erday after he substituted for Neid-
linger. he is not quite experienced
enough to direct the play against the
Cadets.
Kelley, the other quarterback, isn't
given much of chance, but when he
gets into the game he always gives a
good account of himself. as, for in
stance. yesterday. when he scored all OF
Yale's ten points In the final quarter.
The tackles were again Yales weak
spots in the Williams game. Diller.
Greene Miller and Joss proved only
fair in checking the drives aimed at
them. but they were not given the best
of support by the ends.
Joss played his first varsity game and
was ably supported on one side by
Cruikshank, whose playing Is about the
best of any of the Yale forwards. His
work during the two scrlmmages this
week will determine his fitness to stack
up against the Army. That Jones will
spend a great deal of time this week in
improving his tackles Is certainty
and It is probable that he will call In
some former Yale stars In that posi-
ton to help jack up this important po-
sition There will be only two days OF
scrimmage this week.
Hart, whose sprinting yesterday re-
suited in overtaking Chandler of Will
Jams after the latter had passed every
body in a dash that looked like sure
touchdown, has played a hard and fast
game in practice and he may find
regular place on the varsity before the
season is over. Yale has a big task
ahead of her to get a team together
that can beat the Army and Jones will
bend to tins task beginning tomorrow
afternoon.
The ticket department announced to-
night that practically all of the 10000
seats in the bowl have been sold for
the Army game. Five thousand addi-
tlonal seats have been erected along
the lower border of the bowl. Last year
20, 900 saw Yale defeat the Army here.
