NEW HAVEN, Oct. 12.--There was
verstable galaxy Of old Yale football
men watching tho Ellis work out ut
Pratt Field this afternoon. All the old
Yale gridiron stars in New York City
and environs took advantage OF the
Columbus Day celbration and the
closing OF the Stock Exchange to re-
turn and watch practice. The coming
brother vs. brothey contest between
the two Joneses when Yale meets
iowa next Saturday has aroused a
great deal of enthusiasm, and there
were five or more players ON hand
this afternoon who had either played
on the same team with Tad and How
ard or else had been coached by one
or the other.
Paul Veeder, ail-American fullback
IN ls06, was nm interested spectator,
along with Foster Rockwell, all
American quarter in 1904. All Scott, an
ail-American end in 1907, and Ted Raf-
ferty, captain of the 1903 eleven, were
also present. Jack Owsley, who was
an all-American half in 1904 and later
coach Of Shevlin's team, lives in New
Haven and has been at the field prac-
tiically every afternoon. Ted Coy, prob
ably the greatest line plunger Yale
ever possessed, is back for the West
ern game. Coy played on the same team
WI WIN Howard Jones in 1907. He was
all American back in 1908 and in 1909
was captain and again alI-American
back under Howard Jones as coach.
Coy and Howard Jones are the warm
est of friends and the former Is stay
ing on for this Saturdays game.
Since Howard Jones played on three
Yale teams, 1905, '07 and '08, he will
have a host of friends among Yale
men in the stands this Saturday, but
they will all in this case be roofing
for Tad to win.
Many think that Ted Wight will be
a second Coy. All the old timers have
remarked on the similarity between
the two. Wight has the same high
knee action which characterized Coy.
One of Coy's greatest stunts was to
lay punt out Of bounds of his ad-
versary's five-yard line. Wight is the
longest and most accurate punter on
the Eli squad and will do the kicking
against the Hawkeyes. II it is neces-
sary to withdraw Wight, Wildly Neale,
the transfer from West Virginia, will
take care of the punting, as his in
jured ankle has entirely recovered.
Mike Eddy may also come into his
share of the glory as he is sure to get
into the fracas some time during the
afternoon in wing position.ss
Ed Green, who recently came up
from DR.. Bulls squad, will start as a
regular tackle this Saturday. GREEN'S
work has been quite bright spot along
the Eli line recently. Tad Jones, while
he hasn't as yet definitely made up his
mind, Is balancing Green, who is a
young, inexperienced player, against
the battle-scarred veteran Quaille, who
hasn't been in top notch form recently.
Yale will meet Iowa minus her two
field generals, Beckett and O'Hearn.
Both were watching the practice this
afternoon in civilian clothes and will
not don togs again until the middle Of
the week. Eddie Bench, who was show
ing up very well in early season games
and was Jordan's first sub, will also be
on the side lines for at least two more
weeks due to his leg, which was badly
wrenched in the North Carolina game.
Or. Jordan ran through few signals
this afternoon, but with only one more
doubtful whether he will play.
Aside from two games at East Orange
High and what practice he has had
during the past week, Neidlinger and
the quarterback position are stran-
gers. However, he has developed rap
idly in the last few days, and the
coaches have world of confidence in
him. He has always been a cool star,
and the fact that he played regularly
all through freshman year with Nal
lory and Wight next to him in the
backfeld will be an advantage.
The lineup of the varsity this after
noon was: Eddy, left end; Greene, left
tackle; Cruikshank, left guard; Lands,
center; Cros, right guard; Diller, right
tackle; Huffman, right end; Neidlinger,
quarter; Wight, left half; Haas, right
half, and Mallory, fullback.
In commenting on Mallory's playing
all the old graduates this afternoon
who have ever seen him in action were
Of the unanimous opinion that he is
the greatest defensive back that Yale
possessed since the time of Jack Ows
ley.
