PRELIMINARY CATALOGUE
Total Registration of Both Depart-
ments Shows an Increase.
The preliminary list of the Academi-
cal and Scientific Departments of the
University has made its appearance and
it is now possible to give final figures
of registration in these departments.
The list shows the total number of
men in the Academic Department to
be 1,242 against 1,252 last year. The
Freshman Academic Class numbers
296 against 357 last year. The Sopho-
more Class shows a slight decrease
from last year as does also the Junior
Class, but the Senior Class gains some-
what in numbers.
The Graduate Department has 56
-men, a.gain of but one.
In the Scientific Department the total
enrollment is 542 in comparison with
551 last year. This includes 12 special
students and 55 graduate students. The
Freshman Class shows a good increase,
numbering 186 against 170 last year;
the Senior and Junior Classes slight
decreases. The difference in size be-
tween the large Senior Class of last
year and the small one of this explains
the slight decrease in the numbers of
the Department. The size of the
Freshman Scientific Class shows a
steady growth of the Department not-
withstanding the increased standard of
admission.
For certain reasons a comparison of
the numbers drawn from some Western
States, with those of last year, is in-
teresting. Colorado enters the same
number of. men this year as last. Mis-
souri has a total of 54 men in the Uni-
versity this year against 45 last year,
and Indiana sends two more men. The
average of gain throughout is slightly
above the figures of 1806.
In view of Yale’s athletic reverses
last year it was predicted by some that
the Eastern States as the athletic cen-
ter would be marked by a decrease of
attendance at Yale. The figures,
however, show little or no_ change.
The largest decrease in the incoming
class is 27 from Massachusetts. This
decrease could not well be attributed
to either the Bryan incident or Yale’s
defeats on land and water. |
Below is given the representation by
States of the different Classes in the
Academical Department and the Shef-
field Scientific School:

YALE ALUMNI
Princeton Football News.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEELY.]
Princeton, Oct. 18.—Thirty-five min-
‘tutes of the hardest playing ever seen
on the Princeton gridiron, during which
the Orange and Black made four touch-
downs and one goal, epitomizes the
game which Princeton played against
the Carlisle Indians last Saturday. ‘The
Indians had expected to score, and
there. were many Princetonians who
thought these expectations would be
realized. But while the Indians put up
a game first-class in every particular,
Princeton repulsed their desperate on-
slaughts.
The Indians played a steadier game
than they did last year, and evinced a
much better knowledge of football.
Sometimes they mistook very hard play-
ing on Princeton’s part for slugging,
and as a consequence several slight bits
of unpleasantness were observed. Fum-
bling was the order of the day, and on
several occasions Princeton’s goal was
put in serious jeopardy on account of
this fault. It looked several times as if
the Indians might score, as they did
last year, on a “fluke.” The game was
slow and tedious, owing to the exces-
sively hot weather and the continued
injuries to players. Rushing tactics
were much used by both elevens, and
the Indians seemed better able to stand
the work than did the Princtonians.
Princeton showed up in the game
much better than at any time previ-
ously this year. Booth’s work at cen-
ter was a marked improvement, while
Armstrong’s game at right-guard show-
ed that he was rapidly rounding into
his old form. Baird put up a fine game
at quarter, and after Captain Cochran’s
retirement captained the team with un-
usual ability.
The score ought to have been 24—0,
instead of 18—o as it was, for Baird
failed to kick two, and Holt one, very
easy goal. Princeton’s scoring was ac-
companied by several spectacular scenes
which drove the crowd wild. Bannard
made a forty-yard run just before the
first touchdown was scored, and Reiter
ran seventy yards for a touchdown on
another occasion by. picking up a ball
which Metoxen had attemted to punt,
but which had been blocked by Holt.
The old-fashioned double pass invaria-
bly puzzled the Indians and gains were
made by it time and time again.
Princeton’s game increased in steadi-
ness and precision as the contest con-
tinued, and towards the last Baird was
rushing his men like a whirlwind for
another touchdown, but time was called
with the ball ten yards away from the
Indians’ goal line.
PRINCETON, 34; .STATE COLLEGE, 0.
Nothing else that has happened this
season has had so salutary an effect
upon the Princeton eleven as has the
game played against the State College
of Pennsylvania last Wednesday. State
came perilously near scoring in the
first half while Princeton was playing
very sleepily. The game brought the
fact very near to home that Princeton
has got to play football and good foot-
ball in every game she enters. The
game did a great deal to wake the team
up, and relieve it of some of its over-
confidence. The week’s practice has
brought about considerable improve-
ment iti the team’s work, especially in
team play, on the perfection of which
all energies are now being put. Jane-
way, George, and Irvine, of the Class
of Eighty-Eight, have been on the
ground coaching the eleven during the
last ten days, and Church of the ’96
team comes this week to give the men
some lessons in the art of tackling.

FOOTBALL TRAINING.
The Development of Team Play to
Begin at Once.
The past week has seen a marked
change in the policy of those who have
in charge the development of Yale’s
football team for 1897. ‘This change,
however, is not unexpected, but a sim-
ple outgrowth of the plan of work de-
cided upon at the beginning of the sea-
son. Owing to the small amount of
old football material in College this
Fall and the large number of promis-
ing new men, it has been necessary to
extend later into the season than in
former years, the promiscuous trial of
candidates whose ability was unknown,
and this trial of new material has been
pursued with greater care this Fall than
at any other time in Yale’s recent foot-
ball history. All the early stages in the ©
team’s development have now been
passed through. With the knowledge
of the material which the coaches have
acquired and the mutual understanding
prevailing between them and the candi-
dates, a thoroughly sound foundation
has been laid for the more exacting
work of the later season. From this
time on those in charge will be able to
devote their exclusive attention to
moulding with particular purpose the
material which has shown up well in
the work of the preceding weeks. The
season has brought out an abundance
of good material for some positions,
while ior others there has been a corre-
sponding scarcity. Heretofore nothing
but simple plays and straight football
have been attempted. Beginning with
the practice of this week particular em-
phasis will be put on concerted action
in team-play and on the details and
technic of the game.
Two hard games this week will pre-
vent any marked advance toward the
development of the system of attack
and defense to be employed in the big
matches. There will be, however, some
intimation of the style of play, but the
progress will depend almost entirely on
the appearance of coaches. Among
those expected are: W. C. Rhodes, ’o1;
Ray Tompkins, “84; P:- T..-Stiliman,
os So re Te Maurpuy,. o77 4: Te ise:
93 S., and W. W. Heffelfinger, ’o1 S.
IN GENERAL.
In general, at present writing the
defensive work is less strong than the
. weak offensive play of the eleven. The
interference remains crude and com-
paratively ineffective. The kicking is
not good and no ability in that line has
been discovered except in the case of:
McBride. Particular stress will be laid
on this point, however, in the develop-
ment and selection of the new back
material. So far there has been a
notable absence of one essential
feature of successful football,—hard, de-
cisive tackling,—tackling of such force
as to drive the runner toward his own
goal and leave him summarily downed.
AT CENTER.
The center men, taken together, have
failed to show the aggressive play
which is looked for at this time. While
no big gains are made through them,
they show a decided weakness in break-
ing through and let the opposing backs
get under headway, protected by well
formed interference. Brown has shown
himself the liveliest candidate for guard
position. Cadwalader, who is still re-
tained at guard, and Marshall, who has
been looking after center during Cut-
ten’s convalescence, fail to get down
sufficiently low and display a tendency
to play with the opposing men. Cut-
ten rejoined the squad on Monday after
a two weeks’ absence, necessitated by
his injured knee. It has been difficult
to estimate his play owing to the
short time he has been on the field, but
it is expected that he will show up
well and that his re-appearance will
strengthen the center. The attention
which he has given to the game under
trying circumstances and the regard he
has shown for the confidence placed in
him have been most praiseworthy.
Marshall will still be used, though his
recent work at center has not been
sufficiently strong to guarantee a_per-
manent hold on that position. Chad-
wick’s irregular play does not beget
the confidence of the coaches and other
GETTING COOLER now, and you
are thinking of your Fall and Win-
ter Underwear. We have always
been rather particular about Our
stock in this line.
THIS FALL, we can, in addition to
our other lines, give you all kinds
of garments of the JAROS man-
ufacture. If you don’t know about
these goods, it will do you no harm
to glance at some facts about them,
which we can give you at the store
or send to any part of the country.
YOUR MEASURE can be easily
taken. The instructions are simple.
The fit of the garment is beautiful.
CHASE é& CO.,
NEW HAVEN HOUSE BLOCK.
FROM MR. CORBIN.
Many people would say that the colors
and designs of the newest vestings
were unbearable. But tastes are
vastly variant; others conclude dif-
ferently, and there is a very lively
interest in the English knitted and
cassimere goods.
Brown linen frock vestings are quiet
enough —we were obliged to cable
this week for more of this stuff.
We can show many other novelties
—in fact all the Fall’s market
affords, —

players. He has repeatedly shown that
he can play an effective game, but
maintains his reputation as a very
erratic man. McFarland and Drum-
mond have been alternated at guard
this week. The final announcement
that Richard Sheldon will be unable to
play this Fall, on account of his con-
tinued ill health, will be a disappoint-
ment to all who are familiar with his
strength and football ability.
AT TACKLE.
Allen, Post, Hale and McGee have
been tried at tackle in addition to Cap-
tain Rodgers, Allen probably being the
strongest of the new men. The candi-
dates for this position show a great lack
of familiarity with the details of tackle-
playing and do not display the vigor
and intentness which are considered the
primal qualities of every line man.
AT THE ENDS.
With one man from last year’s eleven
and several old candidates out it was
expected satisfactory play at ends
would be quickly developed. The re-
sult has been rather disappointing, how-
ever, as the work at that position is
