YALE SPORTS ALL SET FOR ACTION
Spring Football Drills To- day; Baseball Team Has
 z9 Dates; Crew Shaky
BY G. FREDERICK MULLEN Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New Haven, Conn, April 5-(UP0 More than 60 aspirants for places on Yale's 1897 fotball team were ex- pected to turn out today for the first spring practice session.
 Chief problem facing Coach Ducky Pond was replacement for Larry Kelley, dashing end, who cap- tained the team to a successful sea- son in 1896.
 Not Bad
 But with a nucleus of Captain Clint Frank, Punter Dave Colwell, Bill Albinger, Felix Caracciolo Charlie Ewart, Al Wilson, Al Hess berg and Bill Dickens, Coach Pond didn't seem to be worried too much.
 His main trouble, it seems, will be on the line, and of course, find- ing someone to fill the large shoes of Kelley.
 Instead of snaring passes, Kelley will be found scooping up grounderS and shagging flies for Coach Joe Woods baseball team, which opens its season Saturday against Spring field College.
 In addition to the colorful Kelley, Wood has Ted Horton, slabman, and Walter Klimczac, both local boys. as a nucleus for his nine. Something like 20 games have been scheduled, and the one with Army will be the first time the institutions have met on the diamond.
 A three-game series with Harvard June 9, g and 24 will cap the sea- son. The college world series" will be held at the same time Coach Ed Leader sends his crew against the Cambridge boys in the annual Yale Harvard regatta.
 Speedy Shell
 Leader has had the crew working out on the Housatonic river since the m!fdle of February. They have 8 new shell, recently constructed by Dick Pocock. which all thing will prove faster than any he has con- structed before.
 And Yale's chances of having g successful Navy season hinge largely upo nscholastic standings of Burt Maclean, Willard Brown, Marcus Hall and Captain Harcourt "Ike' Schutz. Their standings reputedly are ona 'sit-down."

FRED PERRY AND VINES LIN ELM CITY WEDNESDAY,
Englishman Rated Fastest Player in World; Lott,
 Barnes in Doubles

New Haven, April 5-Fred Perry of England, recent worlds amateur champion, is recognized as the fast est court coverer in the game, in- cludi1g both amateurs and profess sionals. He's always in motion, and when Perry clashes with Ellsworth Vines, worlds pro titleholder, at the Arena on Wednesday night, tennis fans are in for some sizzling action.
 When Perry starts contest, he's keyed up to 8 high pitch and main tains that tenseneSs throughout.
 Hard Hitter
 Vines, on the other hand, moves slower, but hits his shots with much more power. Vines is more deliber- ate in his shot production, taking time to get set with his footwork, and then lets go with his powerful barrage.
 The contests between the worlds two leading players have been even thus far mainly because the margin of safety which Vines allows on his shots is slim. Most of his shots barely skim the net; of the Ameri- cans timing is slightly out, it means much in his results. In those cases, Perry usually wins.
 The pair will arrive in this city Wednesday afternoon for their fea- lures contest at the Grove street court on Wednesday evening. In ad- ditionto the singles encounter, Perry and Vines will appear in doubles, teaming together against Bruce Barnes, Texas, and George M. Lott, Jr:, former worlds pro doubles champion. Barnes and Lott will open the program at 8:30, with 8 2-set match.

If they can get by their first game with the United Aircraft of Hartford, Waterbury's Industrial League champions, from the Ameri- can Brass company figure to go right into the finals for the state championship, close followers of the various teams will agree. The im- pr, ssive manner in which they won local honors despite couple of up- se.5 late in the season stamps the collection managed by Myles Kelley as . pretty solid bet in any hoop competition, though they have drawn the toughest team in the tournament for their first game. United Aircraft are defending state champions and four time winners of the industrial hoop honors of the insurance city.
 Judicious handling of the play CT, will help win the game for Am erican Brass, as their reserve strength is good and starting combination including Joe Boley, Matty Sheehan, Koch, Damelio and Grimm ought to be good enough to cope with the best of opposition.
