Rochester Rated We'll By OdeII

New Haven, conn.,, Octoper S0, - Coach Howie Odell gathered the Yale football team together yester- day morning before starting the first of two drills during tho day to ready the squad for the title here Satur. day with Rochester and told the ufl- defeated Blue grid warriors they will need ct least three touehdowns to win over the Yollowjackets.
 Pointing out that the upstate New Workers possOss Q w0ll.executeo ground and overhead attack, Odell warned that the Bulldogs will have their hands full and cautioned the squad members about underestimAt. Ing the Rochester club,
 The visitors have chalked up i07 points ia six games, and have scored more tan one touchdown in all but one game, After dropping the opener Rochester bounced right back Into the win column and to date the club has four victories, including a win over Colgate -- which like Yale deefated Cornell,
 Not So Bad
 "Thats the tipoff," Otell said that Rochester Is R better than average squad. Our scouting reports show that Bill Adler Is Q mighty fine back and Rochester has bolted him out of their T formation for plenty of yards"
 Odell also called attention to the fact that Whitey Whittier, the big Rochester fullbaek who has been out of service with 0 shoulder eruise, will be ready to go.
 There is no use Of thinking otherwise" he told the squad, "and Rochester will Do pointing for us' This Is the big game on their seheds ule and they don't Intend to go back home with . black mark In the de- feated column"
 The Bulldogs, after their long rest, swung Into high gear yes' terday with oil members of the var. slty squad returning early from their vacations with the exception of John Prchlik, the hurly tackle who arvlved in time for this morn'
 
 lng's session.
 Filling In for prchlik was jin Rosenberger ie0-pound reserve who will get the call for the vacancy when the veteran leaves after Sat- urday's game for midshipmeni school ct Notre Dame,
 Considerable attention was aws pald to Dick Holllngshead, who VII take over the other tackle berth al Wesu Hansen, who teamed up wtf Prchuk, also leaves after th' Rochester game. having been shiftes to Baldwin Wallace College by th' Navy.
 HoilIngshead, 2o2 pounds. playe' a whale of Q game against Colun' hia and is expected to have uttl' trouble taking over the reguia duties.
 The moveup of both TEollingshea' and Rocenberger, however, leave Yale shy in the reserve tackle do partment.
