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:

ARE YOU ON THIS LIST?
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:

Naval Vessel.

tioned Organization or Vessel.

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.
