The team, which set ational League on fire with enty-six straight victories, looked y different against the Robins terday while suffering defeat in b last game of the season by a bre of 7 to 5. Instead of making pir exit for the season amid tri- Wphant strains, as it seemed they wld a few days ago, the Giants dis- Inded for 1916 amid a funeral air, d in fourth position. There was de snap in their play, and whiie ey outbatted the Robins .they i not take as much advantage their hits as did Your Uncle’s out- Robby had all his regulars out for fht innings of practice, for = the me amounted to nothing 'more, and the ninth sent in practically an tire new team of ‘gWbstitutes and bond string men.. ‘Appleton pitched o whole game,;andiwhile he was enigma for the Gisnts he was a lot bre suocessful than Tesreau and An- rson. Biff Jeff went through seven tless Inhings, to be relieved when parles Herzog, managér pro tem, opght he had room for the usé of little strategy and substituted Rar- len for Tesreau at bat. ' Bill came rough with a hit which figured in fo Glant runs scored in that period. Free hitting marked the contént all ® way.

Bob Bingham went over the line for a touchdown. For the first time in nearly a fortnight the gates of Yale Feld were closed, but the varsity tried no trick football. The policy announced by the new coach- ing regime of relying on straight and fast football until the makeup of the team is well established and the pre- liminary games are played, will be followed. Although only a single score was tallied the coaches were pleased and described the work of the varsity as a‘declded improvement over any re- cent gridiron practice. Nefther the varsity nor scrub eleven was able to make its attacks go for long runs, and the varsity was checked twice, but their plays invariably netted small gain, For the afternoon backfield change went into effect, Hutchnison and Neville placing Jacques and Le- gore, who have been subjected to hard wear all the week and who are badly needed as Yale's most consistent ground gainers In the backfield next Saturday against Unversity of Vir- ginia. In the rushline a new center, ‘Avery, ‘was tried. Callahan and Vorys are still on the sidelines because of injuries, and neither Maurice Smith nor Ross, who have been tried at snapback the past week, has filled the a bill as regards accuracy in passing. Avery's play in this respect was also unsatisfactory today and the coaches would welcome the return of one of the two experienced centers who are now crippled. Charley Comerford, freshman captain last year, went back to right end today and will probably be started in Saturday’s game, al- though he was replaced by Church in the middle of. the drill this after- noon. Mosely succeeded Gates at left end during the latter half of yester- day’s matinee. Captain Black has not been in the lineup since the game with Carnegle last Saturday, but Trainer John Mack expects him to start the play against Virginia. Materlal for both the tackle and guard is scant. It was announced last night that Charley Taft, son of the ex-President, had undergone a slight operation because of an infec- ed toe, and would be unable to play for perhaps two weeks. He was first substitute tackle. Galt and Heenen- er, last year’s freshman guards, held the varsity flank positions today. Strudella, one of the hest fresh- man end rushes last season has re- ported for practice. Paul Veeder and John Field were the visiting coaches. Last night the first evening practice of the season was held in the baseball cage, the first and second teams spending an hour running off signals in the Interfor of the enclosure which was flooded with artificial light. Light Work For Harvard . Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 6.—There as only the lightest of practice for the Harvard football men, the scrub team being kept out of the scrimmags with the varsity, which worked on plays against the substitut There was a little rushing, but generally the plays were run slowly, and the prac- tice was one for instruction. The kicking drill was unusually long, and the coachés put on some of the spectal defenses for the Tufts’ game on Sat- urday. Bond, of the varsity backfield, made a 30-yard field goal, but this was the only scoring. Neither Taylor nor Caner was in the line-up, Wheeler and Lovell being the tackles. Both prob- ably will start the Tufts game. Flower was not in the backfield, Minot of last year's scrubs taking his place. Center Rush Harris, who has had lame ankle, was back in the game. There have been many ankle hurts this year, many’ more than usual. Batchelder possibly will play Saturday, but more likely-at center than at tackle. A n Tigers Show Pep. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 6.—For the first time since the arrival of the Ti- ger football squad in Princeton, Speedy Rush ‘was able to place his full varsity lineup on the field yesterday afternoon for a short serimmage with the ubs. The head coach allowed his first team to scrimmage only seven minutes, but during this time the ball was carried by straight football from one end of the field to the other, where Driggs carrled it over for a touchdown. Nourse Is back in the lineup again, while MeLean, who has been kept out of serimmage for a couple of days, held his old position at tackle. High- ley and Wilson were back at the wing positions in place of Funk and Rahill, who have been on the varsity for sev- eral day The lineup of veterans ap- peared to be the best that Rush has this week as, play after play, they went through the line or around the end for repeated gains. There was a more concerted charge and better team play than has been evident In the Tigers' work all season. Ames supplanted Eddy at quarter- back, calling the signals both in the preliminary practice and in the serim- mage. The contest for this place promises to be keen. Eddy is a strong open field runner, but he lacks e perience at the pivot position. Ames, on the other hand, played at this posi- tion during the entire season in 1914 Left to right..

In Saturday’s game with North Carolina it is probable that hoth of them will receive a long try-out. It is 2 matter of much conjecture in Princeton as to where Head Coach Rush will place Dave Tibot, who made his reputation as a drop kicker year. Moore, Brown and Driggs make an unusual backfleld trio, and it is thought by some that Tibot will not hold a regular position this season.

They swarmed about the ticket offices Fenway park in lines broken often by the cagerness of enthusia to abtain earlier possession of tickets. ‘Women and staid business men vied with messenger boys and others in tneir efforts to gain prominent places in the line. No actual disarder de- veloped, but the police were called upon to re-form lines, and club em- ployes endeavored unsuccessfully placate disappointed applicants who clamored for answer to their written requests for seats. The Tush for reservations was a re- sult of a new system, made necessary. this vear. President J, J. Gannin of the Boston Americans- explained, be- cause of the late date upon which the American league race was decided. By this system successful applicants were essigned a number calling for tickets ¢f a certain class, without a definite designation of the seats as In other vears. Those first in line obtained the better seats as they were distributed by the ticket sellers and it was to obtain this advantage that applicants sought 1he leading places in the lines. Many Are Disappointed. In all probability, club officials agree, mare persons have been disap- pointed through fallure to receive tickets this year than ever before The fact that the serles opens here snd that the third game in this cit the fifth of the series, will be played on Columbus day, a holiday, if the schedule is followed, has gretly in- creased the demand.

Yet these two are both infield upon defense, sure and swift.
