As the football season advances the list of candidates for the University even continues to grow until now more than a hundred men, an unprecedented iumber, are in their playing clothes ech day and doing their best to make a good appearance in the game. As might be supposed, a great deal of this naterial is dead wood, .but out of it all, wery now and then, arises a man who ius been showing himself willing and ible to do better things, and he is given achance at the top. Several good men lave thus been discovered through this process of sifting, including George B. Chadwick of Brooklyn, N. Y., a brother ot Charles Chadwick of the 1897 team. Sharpe’s recent injury gave Chadwick his opportunity and in the Dartmouth game he justified the judgment of Capt. McBride, who tried him at half, by making some of the best gains of the day. He has jumped to the front very quickly, but he has the fighting qualities to hold him there. It is the truth to say that the eleven which played last week was a better one than that of the week before. In other words there is an improvement, slow, it is true, but still an improvement, which ifit can be kept up, will bring the team into something like championship form in the next month. No set of men ever showed a better spirit and every man is tying his level best. Still, it cannot be denied that the team is very weak on the defensive. Every game so far has em- dhasized this, but as yet no effective means of patching up the break seems to have been introduced. Francis, at Unique Fancy Hose.

GOWDY & CO., Opp. Osborn Hall, Successor to : DeBussy, Manwaring & Co. left tackle, is the chief offender, but the whole line with the exception of F G. Brown, at left guard, falls under criticism. Cunha, at center, while big and strong and active, has not come up to expectations and he will have to wor very hard to hold his place. He persists in playing a good-natured game and is consequently pushed about by much smaller men, who have an aggressive style of play. The coaches have not yet given up hopes of making a good man out of him. The real problem of this year’s team, however, is not center, but guard, the place left vacant by Marshall, who grad- uated last Spring. So far, Leary, Tom- linson, C. Brown, and Richardson have been tried there at intervals, but from one cause or another, all have been found wanting. Brown is a Freshman, and though he is capable of playing a good game, he is too light to stand much pounding. Richardson, who has been playing~ ati: center’ on: ‘the College, promised better than any of them, per- haps, and will probably be given another trial there if he can be spared from center. With this place at right guard as well filled as the one at left, the coaches would regard the building up of a strong eleven with much more equa- nimity. The coaches at the field this week were, besides Messrs. Rodgers and Bull W. Of Hickok, 765 Sig FF: W.<Wal- lace, 89; Vance C.

The hospital list, from which Yale has been very free this year, began to make its appearance last week . and Adams, with a wrenched collar bone; Kiefer with a bad knee and Sharpe with a muscle bruise were the first to be written upon it. They will all be fit for use inside of a week. Indeed, Sharpe played a part of the game on Saturday, but it did him no good. Yale 12; Dartmouth 0. Yale scored two touchdowns against Dartmouth in the game at Newton, Mass., Saturday, October 14, and Sharpe kicked one goal from the field. The latter was not allowed, however, be- cause the referee was not in a position where he could follow the flight of the ball and did not have personal knowl- edge of its exact direction. It was a goal nevertheless and a pretty one at that. The general play of Yale was un- even, showing moments of great strength and immediately afterwards as great weaknesses. Most of Dartmouth’s gains were made through and around Yale’s left wing. Francis, at left tackle, did not play his position at all well and in consequence, Thomas, who has been playing a first rate game all the Fall, was thrown in a bad light. In the first half the center trio, Tomlinson, Cunha and Bayne, were slow and heavy, and though no gains were made through them worth speaking of, their work was far from satisfactory. F. G. Brown and his brother, C. Brown, took the places of Tomlinson and Bayne in the second half, and thereafter Dartmouth had more work and less gain. In the back field Fincke, McBride, Chadwick and Sharpe, as long as the latter stayed in the game, all played steadily, but as with the line the fast work looked for was absent. Fincke’s clean handling of punts and the fine kicking of McBride were good to watch. Chadwick made some of the prettiest gains of the day. Dartmouth, though considerably lighter than Yale, played with wonderful vim, and when they had found Yale’s defense to be weak in the left side of the line hammered at that place for big gains. The backs were frequently guilty of holding and they lost a good many yards by this sort of plav. There was no particularly brilliant work on either side. The summary: YALE. PosITION. DARTMOUTH.
