YALE NEEDS ENDS
TO complete team
Blue Bulldog Looks Nearly as
Strong as It Did Last Year

Now Haven. Conn. Oct. . Up
Tad Jones, head coach of the Yale
football squad. has said that "the
ends, q kicker and substitute quar-
terback" describe the 1925 gridiron
problem Of team that has gone
through two seasons indicated.
Graduation has left some large
opening In the Yale ranks, yet re-
placements are numerous veterans
Of major combat most of them, and
today 1t appears that the Ellis must
train only two wingmen to present
an eleven fully as formidable as
those of the past two seasons. The
Blues first 1925 test comes tolnor-
row against Middlebury.
Pond a Coach
"Ducky' Pond, hero OF the Har-
ward stadium encounter of 1929
when he snatched a mud smeared
ball in a virtual quagmire to splash
his way to u touchdown and the first
conquest OF the Crimson on its
home gridiron In two decades, will
not be in the backfeld Of 1925 but
his spirit remains He is among the
coaches.
Captain Loyejoy. sterling CEN
ter, also has gone, along Win the
regular ends, Luman and Bingham;
Scott, the fullback who was Yales
leading kicker; Bench, varsity quar-
terback of 1894; Hart, an end, and
Eckart, guard.
Divide Kicking
From present indications Cottle
and Kline, both veterans, will divide
the kicking responsibilities. Both
were used last season in the absence
of Scott from the lineup and acquit-
ted themselves creditably. They
have given evidence in training that
Yale will have at least one man be-
hind the line capable of toeing a
ball out of danger
Bunnell. at quarter, and Allen and
Kline behind him, appear to be GER
tain choices. Both Kline and Allen
are heavy and adept at plunging. At
the ends Bradley and Potts have
made great strides and undoubtedly
will start against Middlebury. Gill
and Osborne earned their letters as
wngmen against Princeton a year
ago but so far have failed to show
the all-around ability of the present
varsity pair.
Sturhahn, center on his freshman
team, who was placed at guard In
|1924, has gone to the pivot post va
tated by Lovejoy. Veterans are at
the guards in Root and Workman
and Captain Joss and ButterW orth
are expected to play the tackles.
JOSS has been i'll for some time,
however. and may not be able to
play before the Pennsylvania game.
Richards is in his position now
Flaherty is capable substitute for
Root or Workman.
The Second Team
The second team backfleld carries
Fishwick at quarter, Barclay and
Noble at the halves and Failing at
full. Lindley. Caldwell and Wads-
wort II. son or Nne New oTk Selldtoi'
are strong candidates and will sec
much service.
Lovejoy Pond and Blair, mighty
men of recent Yale teams, are as
slsting Jones In the preparation of
the new eleven with George Con-
nors as trainer Pat Osborne coaches
1.-THE freshmen.
Tomorrow's game with Middlebury
will be Yale's first meeting with the
little Vermont squad which estab-
Ilished an exceptional record in its
sphere last year. Georgia follows on
October 10 and then the Blue war
riors will face a tremendous task
with Pennsylvania, Brown, Army,
Maryland, Princeton and Harvard
in order.
