Last Practice a Hard One.
The final work to-day, apart fiom I
signal and formation drill in the sta?
dium a' Cambridge earlv Friday after- 1
noon, was stiff, and the coaches, an '
army of them, wire exacting. In?.- ',
dentally, the practice went with a daafa
and with tar more finish than a week
ago. The leaooni af the Princeton ,
(Tame snowed, as well as the polish ap-1
I lied in the last three days.
Th> Yale eleven -till lacks much tot
make it a really great tram The ?
chances on Saturday appear to be,
against it. hut it has come far in twoi
weeks nine working days, to be ex- j
act?and with things breaking well in!
the first ten minutes of the game, will I
take a lot ?if beating.
N'eedless to say. Tom Shevlin was i
the Braving spirit th s af'ernoon. The j
genius, the understanding, the knowl
ecge of this man me wonderful. The'
keenness of his brain shows in eveiy
move. His impreaaiona, quickly formed, !
SO rarely astray, fine must see him on '
the field, watch him work with a crowd
of fellows, to understand the amazing
rower he exercises, the confidence he j
inspires, the result? he gets.
One week ago. when it was my privi
lege to see the Vale team in secret i
practice, he came rushing on the field. :
throwing og hit roat, calling wildly for
a swea'er. The men were standing;
around waiting Nol one af the many
coaches seemed wiling to set the wheels;
going until this man gave the word.
The word wae not long in coming.
shevlin never wastes any time Crowd
lag into a .sweater, pulling his hat over i
his ear-, sf.pk'ng a big, hlack cigar in !
his teeth, he ehonted: 'Tome, 'varsity'"
?nd thaT ?quad of one hundred men waa i
galvanized. V'.vetv player jumped, and I
kept on jumping
It was different to-day. but the. result '
was the same. He came on the field
quietly, turned an his coat collar, pulled
down his hat. to be <urr, and reached
for a cigar; but the same ??range force
???as at work. Again the men Were 01
their toe? electrified, alive*
The Shevlin Method.
Sometimes Tom Shevlin rave?; some?
times he only shouts; sometimes he fair?
ly purrs. He began to day by purring. ! a
ended !>v raging down the field under
punts with the ends and taeklea, shout?
ing. "A'.' ah! ah! ah! Get that ma .!
Watch that ball!"
No huh, no spur could have had the
-.aine effect.
From Ural to la?t <? knew wl i
blame, a ten to prai? . He was as free

?-reins to know bail nur to apply the

Some Shevlinisms.
No big effort can ever be made

You ean't throw a fit cold. AU big
things need a lot of time.
It takes five meal? a day to do
some work.
How crazy can you get and keep

on now, what's thp signal?" He varies
this. Five minutes later, perchance, he
ahonts: "How do we make it ko?" and
the answer is just a-i quick: "WE
make it go!"
So Tom Shevlin plays on the feelings
of hi? men and inspires them to deeds
beyond e\ <n their ordinary capabilities
What he ease carries conviction. When
he criticises there is justice; when he
praises there is reason.
Something Behind It All.
But there Is lar more than trick of
word or manner ifl Shevlin methods.
He knows full well that thinking men
Blast bave something besides ? veneer
of outward spirit and enthusiasm. To
this end new weapons of offence, new
praotieee for defence have been fur?
nished by him and the other coaches
lih( himself, rallied to the cali.
Whether better or no* than the
weapon provided earlier, they are r.'.ore
effective for the simple reason that
thee have instilled confidence pre?
viously lacking.

Plenty of Hard Work.
The practice, ar -aid before, wasj
?trenne i to a degree. It began with
;. danmy formation dril1 that involved
a Vit ei Individual inetruction by Kil
Patrick, Howard Jones, Ray Rigelow'
and Burr Chamoorlaifl, with Shevlin a
the director-general. Then followed a j
defenaive drill against the be?? known.
Harvard play as put un by a mighty'
strong train, made up of ineligible
plavcri and Mme substitutes.
On top ef this the ball wa? jjiven to
the reguli si raidneid and twice they
carried it over the goal line with a
running attack of much powi r and far
more Bniah than in any scrimmage this
vear. That over, Guernsey wai eel t"

Perry Haughton. roach of the Har?
vard football team, told a mass
meeting of students here to-night
that ne\f ^aturdav's game ?as an
even money proposition.
"These 2 to I bets are all bunk."
he said. "I ?ant to fell >ou that
the farts do not ?arrant such odds.

Y*le has had a poor team this sea
?on, hut the Bulldog has come back
with a rush. I have a wholesome re?
spect for Tom Shevlin and his
?orks."
(apt.tin Mudan told the under?
graduates that credit for Harvard's
football success during the past
eight vears was due to Coach
Haughton alone. "Yale gels most
of the preparatory school stars, but
Haughton has developed nearly all
of Harvard's b> his svsiem."

YALE'S PET PLAY:

and Drop Kicking.
Cambridge. Mass., Nov. 17. Althouj
the Harvard second team was held i
Cambridge to-dav and not allowed '
go to Concord, N. IL. for a game wit
the St. Paul's School eleven, tl
coaches had only a short drill for the
team.
There wa? no tackling in the serin
mage between the 'varsity and tl
scrubs, but aside from the lack of ta
the regulars had a taste of real foo
ball. The second team, which has be?
working on Yale's plays for two we^k
was full of ginger, but the 'varsil
smeared the plays repeatedly. Tl
first team's own attack showed tl
natural finish of the late season, at!
i after the practice the coaches fall we
i pleased.
Kddie Mahan did some remarkah
Kicking ?o-day. his effort? being eve
better than those of yesterday. II
mar1? several punts of more than sixt
yards, and the height of the kicks ws
i tremendous. The ?*<>aches, not having
pood kicker on the scrubs, sent Le
Leary to do tii? punting to the Varsit
backs. He gets almost as much heigl
and distance as does Mahan, and as th
Vanity held hil punts it is believe
I that it will be able to handl" (iuen
sey's on Saturday.
1 The "vanity line was shifted agaii
to-duy, Soucy being at righf end. an*
there is no telling just what the tina
arrangement of the team will be. Tii
only 'hing certain is that Soucy am
