TALE ALUMNI WHEHEKLY
has been characterized by increased life
and vigor and the tendency toward
fumbling has been overcome in some
measure. Rumsey and Burdick of the
Freshman squad have been added to
the list of candidates for positions be-
hind the line.
The preliminary drill in tackling,
starting, catching and punting has beén
almost entirely dispensed with and the
day’s work now consists of two sharp
halves between the University and Col-
lege teams. On Monday and Tuesday,
several of the regular men were laid
off, in order to allow them a much-
needed rest and to give the substitutes
better opportunity for development.
A number of new men have joined
the squad at the training table during
the past week, which as now consti-
tuted includes,—Captain Chamberlin,
Brown, Marshall, deSaulles, Dudley,
Benjamin, Corwin, McBride, Sullivan,
Marvin, Townsend, Dupee, McGee,
Hubbell, Stillman, Coy, Richards,
Richardson, Andrews, and Durston.
W. C. Wurtenberg, ’89 S. and W. T.
Bull, ’88S., have assisted Captain
Chamberlin in directing the practice.
Vale, 34—Amherst, 0.
After a decidedly weak showing in
the game and practice of the preceding
week, the Yale Eleven played well to-
gether in the game against Amberst
at the Yale Field last Wednesday,
defeating the visiting Eleven by a score
of 34 to o. Amherst was completely
outclassed in every respect, the supe-
rior weight and skill of the Yale
Eleven making her efforts to gain
ground and stop Yale’s line plunges
and end runs, equally ineffective.
Yale’s work behind the line showed
considerable improvement, the plays
starting sharply with well-formed inter-
ference. There was also an apparent
advance in the play, both offensive and
defensive, of the line, but this was doubt-
less due in large measure to the inferior
weight of the opposing men. Ambherst
tried the close defense and guards
back formation of Pennsylvania with
-no success. The long runs of Marvin,
Townsend, deSaulles, Benjamin, Cor-
win, and Coy. of Yale were features of
the game.

Yale defeated Williams on Saturday
at the Field by a score of 23 too. The
game was an interesting and unusual
one, three of Yale’s touchdowns result-
ing from sensational runs. Departing
from his custom in previous games,
Captain Chamberlin retained the line
without change throughout the game.
The personnel was the same as in the
first half of the Amherst game with
the exception of center, where Andrews
was substituted for Walton.
superior weight in the line gave her a
material advantage over the visiting
team, and the backs played with en-
couraging snap and vigour. There was
some decrease in the fumbling and off-
side play which characterized the last
game and the interference on the broken
field, following the opponent’s punts
and kick-offs, showed considerable im-
provement.
The touchdowns were made in the
first half by Benjamin and Brown; in
the second half by Townsend and
Dupee. Brown kicked three goals, but
Marshall’s one attempt was unsuccess-
ful. Benjamin, Brown, Dupee and
Townsend made brilliant runs.

The Freshman Eleven played their
first game on Saturday against the
Williston Academy team at Easthamp-
ton, Mass., winning by a score of I1 to
6. The work of the Freshman during
the first half of the game was extremely
ragged, but improved as the game pro-
gressed. The backs, especially Burdick
and Fincke, played well, while Hooker
and Ferguson did the best work in the
line.
The line-up of the Freshman Eleven
was as follows: Ends, Abbott and
Lewis; tackles, Ferguson and Murphy;
guards, Hooker and Blagdon; center,
Sherman; quarterback, Fincke; half-
backs, Burdick and Adams; fullback,
Rumsey.

SOME EXPLANATIONS.
“General Expense,” includes cost of
new lawn mower, new heavy roller,
seed, fertilizer, and repairs to the tools
occasioned by the destruction by fire of
the Baseball stand.
“Interest Account’ is slightly higher
on account of an item which might be
called “rent,” occasioned by early
occupancy and delayed payment of the
new real estate purchased.
“New Real Estate,” at the west
boundary, was purchased to meet the
new demands for an exhibition Football
Field, the initial payment of which
appears in the accounts of the preced-
ing year. |
“Football Construction Expense,” in-
cludes moving easterly Football Stand
to a location on either side of the dia-
mond and return, together with extra
blocks and braces; painting grand stand
before its destruction by fire; new
portable guard fence in front. of
bleachers; after the fire, the expense
of moving north Football Stand to and
“nomies.
from old grand stand location, ana
construction of new back stop, front
fence and ticket booths.
“Track Repairs,” includes toilet house
repairs (plumbing and new floor to
porch) and carting new cinders for
track.
The contract has been placed for
grading, on the level of the present
field, all of the ungraded part of the
field, or such portion of it as the Fall
income from attendance will warrant.
For its completion it is hoped not only
that the receipts will be large, but also
that the several associations composing
the Financial Union can be successful
in their efforts to effect material eco-
This portion of the Field
when graded can, without crowding the
old playing field, accommodate three
new football fields or two baseball
fields for class contests.
If considered advisable, the Univer-
sity Baseball diamond will, after the
next season’s play, be moved to tthe
east by something less than its own
diameter, to avoid the encroachments
of the stands in right field. If the new
Baseball Stand, to replace the one
destroyed by fire, is not built before
the suggested relocation of the dia-
mond, then seating accommodation
will be afforded by the northerly Foot-
ball stand as was done in ‘the season
just past.
Henry B. SARGENT, Treasurer.
No Indoor Meeting.
It has been announced by the man-
agement of the University Atthletic
Association that there will be no Win-
ter indoor meet this year. Several
reasons have caused the management
to make this decision. ne reason was
that there has not been much interest
in the meet manifested by the students,
for the past few years, so that it has
not proved a paying venture. Then
too, it was not deemed advisable to
make the men run on a _ hardwood
track, the effect of which has generally
been more harmful than good. Much
of the straining of the muscles and
tendons from which the track candi-
dates have suffered for the last few
years was considered to have been due
to the hardwood track, and _it.is hoped
that this trouble will now be done away
with. A final reason was that the in-
door tournament made the training sea-
son too long. = |

Joseph Jefferson presented “The Ri-
vals” at the Hyperion Theatre on
Thursday evening, and was greeted by
an enthusiastic Yale audience. In
response to repeated calls, Mr. Jefferson
came before the curtain at the close of
the performance and made a charac-
teristic speech, expressing his pleasure
at being among friends, students in the
same University which had honored him
with a degree, and thanking them for
their hearty reception.
