HARVARD WAITING TO SEE WHAT A TEAM STEEPED IN SHEVUNISMS CAN DO
Yale Eleven May Be
Numbered Next Year
Talbott in Favor of Practice Now
So Popular ?Syracuse Team
Demands Recognition and
Some Reasons.
By HERBERT.
Harvard'? Stadium, with every foot of space utilized for temporary
rtatuls, will *eat 49,000 persons to-morrow, when the elevens of Yale and
Harvard clash, according; to the latest riffures. Every ?eat ha.?, been Bold,
too, with hur.dnds clamoring; unsatisfied, including: myself, so that 4'd.OOO
men and women wijl look on without bsing able to identify, except in rare
cases, the individuals who are Struggling up and down the field. The
players will NOT be numbered.
In every important game this year to date one team at least, if not
both, has been numbered, making; it easy to identify the players and add?
ing much to the pleasure and charm of watching: a frame, but Yale and
Harvard, which Mould he the leaders in a reform of this kind, stand aloof
and refuse to pive that added pleasure to the thousands whose appetite
for the sport is not easy to satisfy.
This ia an oM Itory. It tras pnached and preached in this column

? the new anplo. Yale ia on the point of seeing- light, or in any case of
? fTeniitr no seriou objection it .-omehody will only step to the front and
lake the matter in hanrl.
Hudd Talboti, captais kasl jrt-at ?
i ow on the coaching staff at N
Haven, told me yesterday that he pi
sonally was in favor of numbering t
players, and that Frank Hinkey, so lo
ago as lat? yesr, had no objections
cffer. The Question, he said, simj
wa8 not taken up so seriously as
doubt it deserved, and that so far as
knew Yale tTSS not antagonistic to
practice trhleh ^?d proved ir, populi
This war heartening. Apparently
remains only foi Prof, -or I'orwi

"Several Nev? York sport critics,

that the Colgate football machine 'fel
apart' here last Saturday. On the con
trary, it wa.? ripped apart by th
heaviest team in the country and on

?peedy backs and the most wonderfu
interference I have ever seen to shieli
the runner. It seem? to me that Syra
??use sribuld get more credit for thi
football the eleven ha? played thii
year."
Syracuse does deserve high credit
and, as ?vas said in this column or
Wednesday, if the team beats Part

he in a class by himself.
John J. Hallahan, sporting editor o
"The Boston Herald," who umpired thi
Colgate-Syracuse game, says tha

"Yale 'may' win. Thus one independ

Mr. Dean adds that the Yale player?
tackle harder and "far better," on the
whole, than the Harvard men, which on
the play of both teams against Prince?

to^Guemivey, he say?;

Speaking of this team. Ham Fish,
the soul of the All-Stars, expressed the
opinion aftel the game last Saturday
thai Rutgers had one of the ?trongest
and best elevens he had ever seen.
In a Mter from a t'ornell man Dr.
Sharpe is quoted as saying after the I
game ui'h Washington and Lee last!
Saturday, ?vhen the visitors from the
near-South led al the end of the fir?! '
half by a score of 2] to 20: "It was j
the best thing that could happen for,
the team. The thing ??as due. and 1
am mighty glad ?ve struck such a
game "
No doubt Dr. Sharpe had begun to
dread a feeling of overcoiifidence ?vith ,
the Pennsylvania game so near at hand.
In all probability Washington and Lee I
with h really good team taught the
Cornell men a lesson which -.?ill be
tiken to heart.

State < '?.lleco. Penn., Nov. IS. Re
hind locked gatef and with the "ghost"
ball, used for th?' first time thi-? season,
Penn State's eleven this afternoon went
through a long practice in preparation
for the sanos] battle with Pittsburgh,
on Thanksgiving [lav. The linemen
had special eoaehing bj Efarfow in
defensive tactics, while "Hud"' Whitney
had the backs working hard with the
tackling dummy. The regulars, with
the exception of Yeager ami Herryman,
got a long signal drill in the new plays
that have been prepared and rehearsed
for the last four weeks. All of the
work was smooth and spirited,
which augurs well for the successful
use of those new forms of attack in
the coming struggle for the state's
football supremacy.
The freshman eleven was pitted
against the regulars in a short scrim?
mage. 'Che 'varsity labored entirely
on the defensive, giving the first-year
men an opportunity to advance the
whitewashed ball. So strong was the
opposition th;.t the freshmen wen- una?
ble to make a single Dial down, ?vea
though equipped with specially ?e
lected plays.

out Before Game on
South Field.
Columbia finished its polishing yes?
terday for the all important game with
New York University to-morrow. Sig?
nal drill occupied the regulars in a
sixty minute session on the gridiron
and in the evening there was, another
. drill in the gynasium. It was a light
workout for all hands, but Metcalf felt
that the eleven was in good trim and
fearful of having another scrim
mage, because all of his first string
, men have just about regained their
good condition.
Howard Miller, who has been quar
?erback all season, was unable to don
! his togs because of a heavy cold, but
there is little doubt that he will start
in the game against the team from The
Bronx. Simonds had his place in the
practice. Littaucr, the big fullback.
, was back at his old place and ran
through signals, showing little effect of
, the injury to hi- knee early in the
week which threatened to keep him on
de lines for the balance of the
sea-on.
Metcalf does not ??ant to use Lit
| tauer at all on Saturday, but he is
afraid that he may have to. Monroe
will be m at fullback when the team
takes the held and Littaucr will not be
called OB unless he is absolutely
needed.

strongest team on the field that it has
put forth t-ince the opening game with
St. La?vrence, and the coaches are con?
fident that they will have little trouble
in defeating the N. Y. V. eleven.
A mass meeting at which the coaches
and Captain Simond- ??ill speak will
be held on South Field at noon to-oay.
Nearly the entre soul!. Stand ??ill be
reserved f"r the Columbia cheering

has bought out practically the ? hole

that the baseball bleachers will have
to be erected on the east and west
ends of the field. These additional
seats will increase the seating capacity
by 1,500 and accommodation? ??ill be
provided for a total of neaily ?.mm
spectators.
A new tire and spirit was evident
in the New York Cniversity eleven as
if lined in. yesterday afternoon in the
tina] scrimmage before the Columbia
game. With the prospects that all the
'varsity men, with the exception of
Sokolower, will be in good condition to
start the fray against the Blue and
White on Saturday, the Violet team
took on a ne?v lease of life. The scrub
using Columbia's running formation?
Bad forward pas? plays, attempted in
vain to rcorce against the lirst team.
When the 'varsity's turn came to re?
ceive the ball the lirst team advanced
dawn the field with ease. The g'.oom
that had settled over the Violet camp
because of Wesleyan's victory seems
to have been dispelled so far as the
players are concerned, for they are
brim full of tight.
Should Cann. Bernstein or Krwig be
forced to retire to the side lines in
to-morrow'* game Keilly has Taylor and
Stcrett to fall back upon. These two
men have been showing up well during
the last few days, both on the offence
and defence.
The rushlme problem which has con?
fronted Keilly this week appears to
have been ?olved. La Monica is slated
to stork in Sokolawer's place at centre,
while Jordan will play left guard. Dog

Dummy Drill for
Wesleyan Players
I By TelegrriM to Th? Tribune 1
Middleton, Conn.. Nov. I?. The prac?
tice to-day for the Wesleyan team
was taken up mainly bv dummy work.
All the plays were gone over care?
fully and then the men quizzed by j
tustis as to their part in each play.
Ne?v plays were tried out against the
scrub and seemed to ?vork well. Deet- !
jen and Harmon both practised punt?
ing with the scrub breaking through ?
to block the punts, r.utts then tried
everal drop kicks, missing only one.
It now appears that Ho v. ell will be1
out of the game with Trinity, and that
Lustis ??ill take his place. He will
be all right again, though, bv the Co?
lumbia game, it is hoped. He recently
had his hip hurt in the New York I'tn
versity game.

wsa injured m the Amherst game, is
all right again and in condition for

CHEERS SPEED
YALE ELEVEN
ON TO BOSTON
Team Leaves New Haven
in Good Condition and
Full of Confidence.
f
IBy Telr-grath I? TV Tribune!
New Haven, Nov. 18. Two thousand
Yale students marched to the railway
station this afternoon and gave the
Yale football team a rousing send-off
as they left for Auburndale, where they
will be quartered until the Harvard
game in the Stadium Saturday. The
line of students, headed by a band,
s?vept the two principal streets of NtW
Haven almost clear of traffic. As the
stud.ois marched, they cheered and
sang.
At the station coaches and players,
Yale and the team were cheered indi?
vidually and collectively. The celebra?
tion was comparable only to the recep?
tion accorded former President Will?
iam H. Taft ?vhen he returned to Yale,
to assume his duties as a professor.
The Yale team left New Haven in
good physical condition. The confi?
dence which the Princeton game, via
Tom Shevlin, has instilled into the men
appeared to have been increased to-day,
for the members of the team and every
undergraduate w-ho ?vas at the train
appeared optimistic over the outcome of
the contest.
If the -unport of ?he Bfldergrsda
ates counts for anything, Yale ought to
"in over Harvard hands down, for the
students are behind the team solidly.
The cheer which went up from the
undergraduates as the cars containing
the team pulled out of the station vas
the most enthusiastic Yale ?tudents
have heurd from Yale students in
years, according to graduates who
heard it. From the time the train
started moving until the cars were lost
to view in a curve two hundred y.rds
away hats flew in the air and cheering
I Yale men shouted themselves hoarse.
An indication of the enthusiasm Yale
men feel over the game came to-night
in the Yale dining hall, when 1,000 men
at dinner began singing "The Under?
taker" song, and continued it inter
Paittently for half an hour.

The Harvard roaches got together
this afternoon and ran through a lot

! spectator?, but they did not, a? last
year, get into any ?T'mmage againat
. the second team. The eleven her? ii
in splendid condition, and there is not
a man on the regular ot fin! substitute
list who is not in every wav rit to play
hi? best game against Ysl? on Satur?

Cowen will be at right guard without
fail, the final line-up to-day being th?
same as it will be on Saturday. This
makes the line: Harte, left end; Gil
man, left tackle; Dadmur., left gutrrf;
Wallace, centre; Cowen, right fuard;

team to-night but will join thtrr- to

another drill on plays and a lot of kick?

Mahan is the man relied on to bring
the team through, and he ha? n?ver
been in better condition for a hard
game. The feeling here it ('?mbrdg?
is that the team should best Yal? by ?
good margin. It is re.-.iued that no
mistakes can be made in handling kick?,
but when it comes to straight football
the Harvard men bei:?.- that their
team is much superior.
