THE FOOTBALL WEEK.
Review of Capt. Murphy’s Candidates.
The First Home Game.
————
Now that the University eleven has
been practicing regularly for about
two weeks it is possible to give a
brief review of the team as a whole
and ot the the men who are now the
most promising candidates for the va-
rious positions. Captain Murphy faced
a very discouraging outlook when he
returued to College this fall 10 work
into shaye his eleven, in which five if
seven new men must be
not six or
used.
The only old men from last year’s
team who can be positively relied upon
are: Bass and Hinkey, ends, and Cap-
tain Murphy and Rodgers, tackles.
Chadwick played right guard last fall
and has returned to College but he has
fallen sadly below his usual form, and
will have to improve very much in
order to hold his old position.
FINCKE WILL PLAY.
Fincke, who played at quarterback
under Captain Thorne and was con-
sidered at the end of the season one
of the strongest men in this position
that Yale has ever had, was delayed a
week in returning to College by an ill-
ness. He came to New Haven last
Saturday and has been taken to the
training table, but will not begin to-
practice with the team for a week yet.
It is hoped that he can fill his old po-
sition and he will be highly valued as
a very reliable man behind the line.
His playing cannot be regarded as a
certainty, however, and he may ulti-
mately be forced to give it up.
The weakest points on the team are
in the center and in the candidates
behind the line. Several. men are try-
ing for the formes positions, the most
promising being Drummond, Sutphin,
guards, and Chamberlain and McFar-
land, center. Rodgers, last year’s
tackle, has been tried at the position
of guard with considerable success,
but this arrangement, even if adopted,
would leave a_ serious vacancy at
tackle. Murray, who played _ substi-
tute tackle last season, has recently
come onto the field and may help on
the competition.
Chamberlain, during the past week
has done better work than MacFar-
land and at present seems more likely
to get the place. He is quite active,
follows the ball weli and _ tackles
strong, but lacks experience sadly.
Mackarland played as a substitute in
this position last season, but is not
playing up to the general expectation
of him this season.
BEHIND THE LINE.
The candidates behind the line are
Benjamin, Goodwin and Griffin, halves,
and Chauncey and Hinkey, fullbacks. -
Benjamin was looked upon as a sure
man for a position behind the line this
year at the close of last year’s season,
but he has deteriorated rather than
improved over his last year’s form. He
runs high and without enough force.
Goodwin is a Freshman, who captain-
ed the Andover team last year, and
has shown up very well so far. He
plays a hard and determined game
and is a good runner, but is too light,
it is feared, to stand a long season of
hard work on a University team. His
interference is necessarily weak on
account of his light weight and in go-
ing through the line he cannot make
his way past the big men of an op-
posing team. Mills has not yet joined
the team in practice but is expected in
a few days and will in all orobability
find a place waiting for him.
Fullback is a position for which just
the right man has not yet shown hiiu-
self. Letton made a good showing as
a substitute for that position last year
but owing to some physical trouble is
unable to play at all this year. His
absence is distinctly a loss to the team.
Chauncey, who played on his class
team at this position, nas been tried
on several occasions. He is a fairly
good kicker, but lacks the sieadiness
and exnerience which is needed be-
hind the line among the rw ma-
terial of this year’s eleven. For this
purpose Hinkey has been n:oved from
end to fullback. He does uot yet feel
entirely at home in his new p2si‘ion,
He kicks very well and is a sure
tackler, but is almost too light. Ha-
zen and Connor are both xuod wien 10
fill the place left vacant by Minkey at
end rush.
Captain Murphy has -lone most of
the coaching so far himself, espewially
in the rush line. The backs have Leen
aided by Thorne, ’96, and I>ull, ;88S.,
and McCormack, 7938S. The game with
Amherst on Wednesday, September 320,
showed a great weakness in the cen-
ter and a lack of team work. The
aim during the past week was to
correct these faults and get the tvam
in as strong condition as }».ssible for
the Brown game, which took p.ace
yesterday, (October 7), too late to be
reported in this week’s issue of che
Weekly. The outcome of ‘his conme-
test was regarded as very acubtful fer
Yale as Brown has a very »trong team.
FIRST HOME GAME,
The University eleven met Amherst
for the first home game of the season
at the Yale Field on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 30, and won by a score of 12 to
0. Yale played a ragged game, show-
ing a great lack of team work. The
center was especially weak and most
of Amherst’s gains were made through
it. In the second half especially, Am-
herst went through the center for con-
stant gains almos‘ at will. Most of
Yale’s gains were made around the
ends, both the touchdowns being se-
cured in this way. The running of the
tackles with the ball was also good. —
Hinkey’s punting was strong, when
not too slow but he was not so suc-
cessful in ground gaining. The work
of Murphy and Bass was excellent,
both being on hand at a tackle and
down the field under a kick. The line-
up was as follows:

NEWS FROM THE TENNIS COURTS.
Representatives Chosen for the Inter=
collegiate Tournament Oct. 7-9.
The University Tennis Tournament
for the selection of two men to repre-
sent Yale in the annual fall Inter-
collegiate Tennis Tournament together
with C. P. Dodge, ’99, who won the
University Tournament last spring,
was held during the past week on the
courts at the Yale Field and the New
Haven Lawn Club. The men who won
the first two places were Hackett, 1900,
and Hooker, ’99. Several matches in
the tournament were close and inter-
esting. The fight between Lewis, ’99,
in the first round
(won by the former, 7-9, 10-8, 6-3), the
two matches in the semi-final round,
together with the final match between
Hackett and Hooker (won by the for-
mer, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3, 6-3), were especially
well played and _ exciting. Hooker
seemed likely to win first place at
the outset but weakened perceptibly in
the last three sets. He maintained his
form, however, in the contest for sec-
ond place and succeeded in defeating
all his adversaries. ;
The Fifteenth Annual Intercollegiate
Tennis Tournament began last Tues-
day on the grounds of the New Haven
Lawn Club. The outcome of the tour-
nament this year will be awaited with
considerable interest, as Yale and Har-
vard are at present tied for the cup
and if either of these colleges wins lin
both singles and doubles it will get the
cup permanently.
Yale’s representatives are. Dodge,
Hackett and Hooker, in the singles,
the first two playing together in the
doubles and Hooker playing with
Noyes. |
Harvard sends down Ware, Whitman
and Forbes, the first two being ranked
among the eight best players at New- —
port this summer. Other well-known
players are Budlong of Brown, Perry
of Williams, S. G. Thomson and T. 58.

Princeton’s Trainer,
{University Magazine. ]
Princeton is letermined in future to
make a better showing in track and
field events. Walter M. Christie, one
of the best American professional
sprinters, has been chosen to take the
place of Jack McMasters. It is stated
that the latter will still have the base-
ball and football teams. Christie was
in 1895 trainer at Williams where he
brought out Patterson.

DEBT STATEMENT.
Remainder of College loan on mort-
BASS crcccccccccccecssccccccecccecccccees $8,000
(Signed) Henry B. Sargent,
‘Treasurer.
In 1884 the debt of the Field Corpo-
ration amounted to $20,685.78. By care
and economy this has been reduced to
$8,000. The income now is not Ssufi-
cient to materially decrease this debt.
The Field Corporation hopes that the
Faculty will do something to help de-
crease the debt. There is much idle
land that should be’ graded and sodded
so that there can be more diamonds
and football grounds laid out for the
class and scrub teams. It is the idea
of the Field Corporation to make the
Field a place of recreation for all the
students in the University and no
alone for the use of the University
teams. To do this money must be rais-
ed. The sum of $175 has just been spent
to move the Freshman football field
over so that it does not interfere with
the University baseball diamond. Work
has just been started to re-sod the left
and center fields of the University
baseball field.
The Corporation now consisits of the
following six graduate members: Prof.
Eugene L. Richards, ’60; Prof. Theo.
S. Richards, ’72; Henry B. Sargent,
*418.; Walter Camp, °80; Henry C.
White, ’81; Samuel H. Fisher, ’89;
‘together with the undergraduate mem-
bers of the football, baseball and track
athletic managements.
