The Washington times., 1924-10-04

Jones has adopted q new policy
this season in starting the early
season games with two elevens
about equally balanced in strength
who have met, not each other, but
the first and second scrub teams,
respectively, in the daily practice.
The second varsity eleven Is prac.
tically equal In strength to the
team which win open the playing
schedule this afternoon. It con-
sists almost without exception Of
the freshman team of last year,
which set new high-scoring records
against Harvard and L'rlnceton
class elevens.
When the second team Is injected
into the fray in the second and
fourth periods its scoring ability
VIII compare fayorably with that OF
the first, 1t is believed. The second
team lineup follows:
Ends. Wolfe and Hart; tackles,
Richards and Coleman; guards,
Hicknk and Coene: center. Burt:
Quarterback, Bunnell; halfbacks,
Kline and Scott; fullback, Cutler.
Yale,s first eleven alignment In.
cludes only four regulars Of last
year, Captain LovejOy, LIman
and Builnells and Pond. This Is ~
smaller number than has been
left over for any succeeding sea-
son since the college was re-
organized following the world
war.
Cottle. Bench, Eckart, Joss and
Butterworth were reserves last year.
but did not figure conspicuously IN
the games which formed the climax
Of the season.
Wortham Is the only freshman
player who has been promoted to
the regular lineup, although four
or five are expected to be shifted
within q month. He has replaced
Emil Coene at guard. Coene was
the scrub right guard last season
and lacks varsity campaign.
Wienecke Is another player who
has been used In only the scrub line
up. and It is possible that Jones will
use Phil Bunnell in place of him as
field general against the tar.heels.
Wolfe and Richards were the stars
Of the freshman rush line last year
and 1t is predicted that Richards
win be found at tackle as q first.
string selection before the season is
TAR advanced. Wolfe has more
difficult task to break into the ware
Gity lineup with Human and Btng-
ham, the regulars, in the competi-
ton.
HickOIk is q likely selection as
regular guard, although Dick
EclEart has shown form far, su.
periOr to that Of last season, when
he was injected into several games
IN the final period. HickOk Is q
son OF OrViIle HickOlx, one 81
Yale's greatest guards Of thirty
gears ago, and an intercollegiate
champion hammer tirower.
Ted Hart was q varsity substi-
tute last season., while Henry
Scott played most Of the games 81
fullback two years ago. He is q
live possibility az first string back.
field member. He Is Eddie Cottle,s
chief rival in the punting role.
Kline 70 the former Mercersburg
star. whose backfield game was re-
sponsible Tor more touchdowns
than that Of any player last year.
Cutler was q member Of the fresh
man team two years. ago. He has |
developed faster than any reserve
player this season.

Of the first and second teams.
Yale has gridironed two teams Of |
