but if he has to retire, Fincke will
move back to full-back and Ely will
take quarter. It may be said here
that Ely has showed himself fully ca-
pable to manage the team and in de-
fensive work is fully the equal of
Fincke. He lacks the experience, how-
ever, of the older player and would
not find himself as much at home in
the big game.
Murray, Chamberlin and Chadwick
have improved very much in their
play in recent practice and are ex-
pected to hold their own against
Princeton’s center trio. Rodgers and
Murphy have been all season, and are
now the strongest points in the rush
line, both in offensive and defensive
play. Bass has laid off over a week
from fear of over-training, and when
he began to play again last week he
went to work with much more vim
and force. Conner seems the final
choice for right end. He plays a
hard and plucky game in spite of an
injured ankle, which has troubled
him for over a week.
The team in general has been im-
proved very much under the coach-
ing of many old men, who have been
in town for two weeks or more. Dr.
J. A. Hartwell, ’89S., has acted as
head coach and the following men
have been seen on the field more or
less regularly: W. Camp, ’80; H. H.
Knapp, ’82; Ray Tomkins, °84; HH.
Beecher, ’88; W. T. Bull, ’88S.; W. W.
Hefflefinger, °918.; V. C. McCormick,
93S., and S. B. Thorne, ’96.
The University Eleven and substitutes
will leave New Haven for New York on
the 8.10 Pp. M. train Friday. A special
Pullman car will be attached to the train
for the team. In New York the team
will stay at the Hotel Plaza.

PRINCETON QUITE CONFIDENT,
A Slump in Practice but a Victory
Expected.
Princeton, N. J., Nov. 16, 1896.—Af-
ter two days rest from the effects of
the Harvard game, the Princeton foot-
ball team again put on their suits and
commenced practice for the final con-
test to take place next Saturday, The
rest did not seem to be effective, for
the men have not shown the life and
energy necessary for the final round-
up of the team. The practice last
Wednesday and Thursday was very
good and the scrub was unable to ac-
complish anything against the Uni-
versity, nor was it able to stop their
onslaughts. But on Friday the team
slumped and played in a lifeless man-
ner, allowing the scrub to score on
them. They have not recovered yet,
as the practice of Saturday and Mon-
day indicated.
Some of the men are tired and pos-
sibly past the fine point of training,
However, during the remainder of the
week, the greatest caution will be
used, and the hope is to have each
man in the best of trim by Saturday.
The men who were hurt have all re-
covered except Captain Cochran, but
it is expected he will be ready to play
on the 2ist. Rosengarten’s sprained
ankle is enough better to enable him
to go about and he will doubtless be
able to play also. All the other men
are fully recovered and have been
in their places on the team each day.
Reiter and Wheeler will likely be
given a chance to play at half-back
before the game is. over, and also
Wheeler and Poe will make good
halves should the occasion demand
them. The line substitutes will be
Edwards and Booth, guards; Tyler
and Geer, tackles; and Lathrop, end.
This team is the strongest possible,
and if the men are in the best of con-
dition on Saturday Yale will have to
put forward an exceptionally strong
team to beat them.
The team will also go at that time
and will make their headquarters at
the Murray Hill. A part of the grand
stand has been reserved as a cheering
section, and in that part most of the
students will be found doing their
part to win the game by cheering.
There is not the general feeling of
confidence in the result that there was
last week, because of the poor form
shown recently by the team. How-
ever, all will go to New York with a
hope, strengthened by the belief in the
Superiority of the Princeton team, of
seeing a game in which the Orange
and Black will be victorious.

Yale Defeats New Jersey Ath-
letic Club,
The University eleven lined up
against a team from the New Jersey
Athletic Club at the Yale Field last
Saturday and played a short game of
two fifteen-minute halves. The game
was scheduled for 3 p. m., but owing to
some blunder in the management, the
football suits of the visiting team
were sent to the Field house instead
of the Gymnasium, and the game Was
delayed over an hour. During this
time the University eleven played an
exhibition game against the College
team, in which special opportunities
were given Hine for kicking goals
from the field.
In the game against the New Jer-
sey Athletic Club Yale scored three
touchdowns and Hine kicked two of
the goals. Yale’s method of play was
to rush the ball down to the twenty-
yard line by mass plays and runs
through the tackles, and then give
Hine a chance at a goal from the
field. Hine made at least half a
dozen such attempts and failed in
every case.
The defensive play was considerably
stronger than at the previous games,
but the home team seemed very weak
in punting. The mass plays were used
with great success, netting five yards
nearly every time. Ely ran the team
well at quarter, but was slow in pass-
ing back for kicks and his place was
taken by Fincke on several such oc-
casions.
The attendance was very large and
the enthusiasm shown by the Yale
crowd was marked. The line-up fol-
lows:—

Work of Vale and Princeton
Compared,
The individual work of the mem-
bers of the Yale and Princeton teams
can be only very insufficiently shown
by the scores made by them in the
games played, and the number of
points scored by a team does not
show its strength very accurately in
comparison with other teams. The
summary of scores given below is,
however, the only method by which
the work of the Yale and Princeton
teams can be summarized during the
past season. In addition to these
scores Yale forced West Point to make
a safety and Baird has kicked five
goals from the field, so that the to-
tal number of points scored by the
two teams is Yale 210, Princeton 271:—

THA FRESHMAN ELEVEN,
A Glimpse at the Candidates—Plenty
of Weight and Competition.
The Freshman football team _ this
year has been under the charge of-
Mr.- T.. W. Miller, °97;..3rom_ the
eighty-eight candidates who appeared
at the opening of the season twenty
odd men now remain from whom the
team that will line up against the
Princeton Freshmen will be chosen.
The team as a whole has plenty of
weight, averaging in the line one hun-
dred and sixty-five pounds and the
backs one hundred and fifty-three
pounds, but at present the men lack
dash and a knowledge of the game.
The tackles have been weakened by
the loss of two promising candidates,
and this has had rather a discourag-
ing effect on the rest of the team. The
ends are slow on following kicks and
fail to locate the man with the ball.
The backs are weak and it is here
that the Princeton Freshmen are most
feared. They are rather slow on end
plays but buck the line fairly well,
although too erect. Although the
team ran up the large score of forty-
two to Andover’s four, this can be
taken as no criterion of the play as
the Andover team this year is very
weak. »However the team has been
improving steadily and, with con-
scientious work for the next
week; it should stand a fair show of
winning from the Princeton Fresh-
men. There is still a good deal of
competition for some of the positions
and the team will not be definitely
chosen for some days.
THE CANDIDATES.
Cc. E. Sullivan and K. Winter are
the candidates for quarter-back. Sul-
livan is slower but runs the team bet-
ter than Winter. On the other hand
Winter is the better tackler of the
two. :
J. W. Miller and H. P. Wickes have
each played at center in some of the
games this year. Both men have
weight but Miller is more steady in
snapping the ball back. Wickes also
fails to break up the opposing in-
terference properly.
FF. W. Allen, E. E. Marshall and F.
A. Leary are the aspirants for guard
positions. At present Allen and Mar-
shall are making the best showing,
perhaps on account of their weight.
All three need more snap. Marshall
and Leary play too high and tackle
poorly while Allen is slow in getting
_ into a play.
There are five candidates for the
tackles. R. H. McCormick, Jr., and
M. L. McBride have played in the last
two games. McBride tackles poorly
and fails to throw the runner back.
McCormick is at present over-trained
and like A. M. Beli. another candidate
for the position, lacks a knowledge of
the game. Walton aud Wakeman, two
men who appeared for the first time
early this week, are promising, al-
though slow.
Of the ends EH. M. Eddy, R. J.
Schweppe and G. L. Young are the
most prominent. All fail to get down
the field on a kick quickly enough,
and the first two are apt not to pick
out the man with the ball early in the
play. All tackle fairly well.
There are still four men trying for
half back. O. F. Luce and M. Doug-
lass run slowly and are inclined to
leave their interference. Douglass is
a good line bucker. J. C. Phillips runs
well, but is apt to stumble. S. FE.
Shattuck plays with snap but blundly
and does not yet know the game.
C. E. Brinley and R. B. Flint are
the candidate for full back. Brinley
is far more steady and a@ more ex-
perienced player, although Flint plays
with dash. Brinley kicks fairly well.
Both are fair line buckers.
Last Monday evening Corliss Es-
monde Sullivan, 1900, was elected per-
manent captain of the team. Sulli-
van prepared for college at the Uni-
versity School, Cleveland, Ohio, where
he played quarter-back on the team
for two years, being captain the last
year. He is eighteen years old and
weighs one hundred and _. forty-five
pounds.

Fall Work of the Crew.
Mr. Cook has now been in New Ha-
ven over two weeks and has devoted
his entire time to work with the crews.
This has given the men an early start
in their preparation for next year’s
work and will save them from part
of the customary long and tedious
work in the indoor tank. The plan
of seating the men on the side jin-
stead of in the middle of the boat has
been tried with considerable Success,
and Mr. Cook seems quite pleased with
the progress which has so far been
made.
The crew has been rowing generally
in the following order:
Stroke, Simpson; No. 7, Patterson :
No 6, Langford; No. 5, Bailey (Capt.) ;
No. 4, Campbell; No. 3, Marsh; No. 2,
Whitney; Bow, McLauchlan; Coxswain,
Greene or Clark.
