14 YALH ALUMNI W}W HE KLY FIRST WEEK’S WORK. The Eleven Improves—Trinity Beaten —No Head Coach, The first week of Yale’s football sea- son closed Saturday with the defeat of the Trinity College Eleven at Hartford, by the score of 1&8 too. The result is in general satisfactory to Captain Cham- berlin and the men under him. There seems to be a well-marked advance made, in comparison with the Ninety-. Seven team at the corresponding time last year. The real work of the year began with practice in New Haven Monday, toth inst. Between 25 and 30 candidates, in- cluding the line men, were present at the Gymnasium lot when a team was chosen for signal practice for the day. In the afternoon the squad was taken to the Field, where the lightest work was gone through. The backs practiced punting, catching and running in pairs and blocking; the line men prac- ticed starting with the snapping of the ball, falling on the ball, and tackling the dummy. On Tuesday afternoon, the men lined up on the Freshman Field for the first hard practice of the season, a ten minute half. The playing time was increased during the week; one game the latter part of the week consisting of 17 and 19 minute halves. The result has been a more advanced stage than that of last years team at the same time. The morning practice was discontinued this week and easier work given the men in the afternoon games. Back of the line the combination will probably be a very strong one this year, with the four backs of last year’s team in College. McBride, 1900, has the best chances for his old position at full- back with Dashiell, ’99., or Marvin, 99, as capable substitutes for the posi- tion. Dudley, 1900S., Corwin, ’99 S., and Benjamin, 798 S., who returns for a post graduate course, are all in College and should run the same pretty race of last year for the half-backs. Town- send, 1900 S., Auchincloss, 1901, Beard, ’99, DuPee, 1901, and Gilmore, ’99, are all good substitutes for this position. deSaulles, ’99 S., will be found at quar- ter-back again this year, as the removal of his condition is assured. Winter, 1900, Stoddard, ’99, and Sullivan, 1900, are trying for the substitute quarter- back. The backs run well and buck the line with success, but need perfecting in the kicking and end Circling. Coy of last year’s Freshmen team and Schweppe, 1900, were tried at the ends most of last week with Walker, ’99 S., as first substitute. All three are speedy but often fail to down the man receiv- ing the punt, before he has made a gain. Sharpe, Van Wicklan and Conner of the Ninety-Six team are in the squad and play the College ends almost daily. Durston, ’99S., a substitute on the Ninety-Six and Ninety-Seven teams, has been playing the vacant tackle the past week very successfully. He is a good runner with the ball and strong on the defence. Rawlins, 1901 Law School, Crossley, Sp., and Paul Thomp- son, I9Q0I, are the present substitutes playing the College tackles. Richards of last year’s Freshman team has been alternating with An- drews, ’99, at Chadwick’s old place at left-guard. The former is too light a man for the position, despite his evident ability, and would be more successful further out the line. Hall, ’09 S.; Eble, 1900, and Walton, 1900, have been tried at center with indifferent success. On Friday, Cutten, last year’s substitute, played; doing well considering his lack of practice. He is practically assured center, from the present dearth of competitors. Chamberlin at right- tackle and Brown, 1901, at guard, of last year’s team are playing their old positions and steadying the team as much as two men can in a line of five new players. Marshall, ’99S., and Slocovitch, 1900 Law School, are ex- pected to compete for guard and end respectively. The presence of Marshall, who played such a strong game last year on the University, up to the time of the change of Chadwick from tackle to guard, would strengthen the team greatly. - not complete records. The great difficulty to be overcome 1s the forming of a College team, strong enough to give the desired practice to the University. The past week from two to four touchdowns have been scored in the short halves played. The opening of College will bring many men out to make up a stronger eleven for the University to line up against. During the week W. T. Bull, ’885., has instructed the backs. S. B. Thorne, ’96, was present one afternoon, as was G. Foster Sanford. Frank Butter- worth, ’95, is at present with the team and will coach a couple of days. YALE 18, TRINITY O. “Yale defeated Trinity at Hartford Saturday, by the score of 18 to 0. Two halves were played of 15 minutes and 10 minutes each. McBride, Durston and Dudley scored the three touch- downs, for which Brown kicked the goals, one of them being very difficult. The first half played with the University men throughout was sharp and snappy football; Durston and Chamberlin of the line and McBride, deSaulles and Corwin of the backs playing the best game for Yale. Sutton, Brown and Brinley excelled for Trinity. Town- send’s nose was broken, and he was compelled to retire in favor of Corwin. . Corwin’s right-end run and Durston’s plunges were the features of the game. A cold wind prevailed and made the spectators and substitutes shiver, al- though excellent playing weather. Substitute backs and one end change were the differences in Yale’s line-up for the second line-up. The following is a summary: YALE. POSITIONS. TRINITY.

Or Any of Your Friends—If So, Please Act. The character of the list of Yale men whose war record was desired by the Yale WEEKLY, was not entirely under- stood by our readers. That list is simply the list of those men connected with the war of whom as yet we have It is only a por- tion of the entire list of Yale men who served in some capacity in the army or navy. Of the others, we have fairly complete records. What we are trying to do is to complete the records of those whose names we published. When that is done, we will publish all the names we -have and all the facts about them which we have succeeded in gathering. In the meantime, the following list is again published this week, and the re- quest is again made that any of those who are on it, or any of their friends, hurry in their war record at once. The list is smaller than it was, as each mail brings in additional facts about several men, but it is still quite large and it is very desirable to complete the list and publish it in an early issue. The questions which should be an- swered are the following: You have seen th Name. Class. Name of Military Organization or Naval Vessel. Date of Enlistment therein, or Assign- ment thereto. Record therein, including all Promo- tions, Casualties or Sickness, with exact dates. Record of above-mentioned Organiza- tion or Vessel in present war, during party’s connection with it, including camping places or stations, cam- paigns or engagements, with dates in each case. Previous Military or Naval experience in any other than the above men- tioned Organization or Vessel. Remarks, including transfer to any other command and all other details in connection with the service.

Full-grown Men — LIKE a THE SUN. CLOSE BUYING In very nice furnishings is not always possible, and often un- profitable. Choice things are not desired because they are a little cheaper than some other choice things. BUT THERE ARE TIMES When you can pick up-the best things at low prices. This is one of the times at our store — particularly in the line of fancy socks and string ties. Special reasons for it. CHASE & CO., NEW HAVEN HOUSE BLOCK, Henry Heath Hats. FRANK A.
