A tentative change was made in the line-up when Bob Lay succeeded Frank Kelly at right halfback, and the coaches said tonight that, although indications were that Kelly would be given the assignment, Lay is a strong possibility to start the match. He is a former Lawrenceville player and starred in the freshman backfield three vears ago. Last sea- son and this Fall he was prevented from becoming a regular selection be- cause of a severe injury. He has nat Yet fully recovered, but the coaches feel that his defensive game is greatly needed In the backfield and he will get into one of the playing periods if he does not start the match. Kelly's brilllancy has been punctuated with stretches of irregular ability to gain and poor tackling, although he is probably the mast powerful line forcer in the Eli backfield.

Crimson Team Cheered, Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 19.—The Harvard football coaches yesterday put the finishing touches on their eleven which tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock will set forth for New Haven, confident of another victory in the Yale Bowl. The drill was a final rehearsal of plays, fallowed by a long session of kicking practice, after which the Stadium gates were thrown open and the students, marching behind their band, trooped into the concrete seats. The parade was led by MecCasg, | Emmons and O'Connell, the "Varsity crew, haseball and track captains, and behind them marched seven fathers of young foatball players who will rep- resent the Crimson in the Bowl tomor- TOoW. The plavers whose fathers watched their last practice from the stands were Hubbard, Macomber, Humphrey, Owen, Churchiil, Fitts and Tierney, and the “lucky seven” omen is considered a good sign for the Crim- son Saturday afternoon. TIGERS STRONG IN *21 Callahan, Legendre and Scheerer, First String Men, Are Only Ones to Be Lost by Graduation, Princeton, N, J.,, Nov. 17.—Ola Nussau's football prospects for next ! Fall are rosy, for the Tigers lose by graduation only twa of the men who | started in the Yale game last Satur- day. Captain Mike Callahan and Ar- mant Legendre are the only members of the class of 1921 who drew first- line positions on what was probably | | the greatest team that has worn the | Orange and Black in the past decade. The original Yale backfield will re- turn intact next September, barring ineligibles. Joe Scheerer, wha started !in the Harvard game and replaced Frank Murrey at fullback last Satur- day, is a senior and will be lost to the team at the June commencement, as will Shad Davis, the crack. end, who has been alternating between first and second string all year. Thomas, sub- stitute center, and Halsey, substitute tackle, complete the list of seniors on the team. Of these only three, Scheer- er, Caljnhan and Legendre, are first string players. Don Lourie, who remained at quar- terback throughout both big games and proved himself one of the greatest fleld generals and open fleld runners of the scason, is a junior this Fall His 30-yard dash to a touchdown at Cambridge and his run of 50 yards through the Yale team on Saturday from a fake kick formation were high You'RE ON SHORE LEAVE —AND You FALL ASLEEP BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE To Do NOWHERE To Go BASKETBALL - GAMES New Britain Machine Company Quin- tet to Mcct National Five of Hart- ford at State Armory Tomorrow Night. The New, Britain Machine company ' quintet of the Industrial league, will meet the National Five of Hartford, in the main contest at State Armory tomorrow night. Owing to revision of the league, necessitdted by the failure of one of the factories to place a team in the flld aftr the rgular schedule lineup | was printed, the usual ieague game will not be played tomorrow night The league officials hope to have every thing in readiness by next week. The National Five, played here recently | against the Kaceys, and the game was a good one to watch, the locals win- ning 37 to 27. The visitors have in the | lineup, Pinto, Hurwitz, Sullivan, Cros- | son and Summers. The New Britain Machine company will start the regu- lar lineup, Miller and Raynolds, for- wards, Avery, center, and Locke and Sheehan, guards. The preliminary game will bring together two girls teams, the Bandits and the All-Stars. These teams are composed of New Britain Machine and Stanley Works girls. It should be a fine contest. Danc- ing will,as usual, follow the games. | FOOTBALL MORE EXPENSIVE ' Harvard” Athletic Association Quotes ' Increases in Fitting Out Squad in Answer to Objections to Rates. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 19.—Objec- tor to the increased price of football | tickets to the Harvard series with Yale ! and Princeton do not stop to consider that the cost of football equipment, like everything else, has gne soaring since the war. So says the Harvard Athletic Association. In 1936 it cost Harvard approximately $35 a man to outfit the team, but that covers only one complete outfit, and does not allow for uniforms and other material that are replaced. The present season cost for the purchase of the same equipment will be approximately $100, or alniost three times as much as be- fore the war, The intercollegiate football that will be used in Saturday’s game sold for $5 | when Harvard lost to Yale in 1916. Whichever team takes possession of ; the ball this fall will get a $12 swine skin. Increases have been noted every- where, In the construction of tempor- ary wooden bleachers, help about the ficld, the services of coaches, ticket sellers, printing of tickets and pro- grammes and railroad fares for scouts. Harvard generally spends $35,000 to develop a football team. This year's expense in this directfon should be at least doubled. The Crimson, however, will register a new record in gate re- celpts. probably more than $400,000. U. S. HOCKEYISTS WIN, Cambridge, England, Nov. 19.—The American women’s hockey team which \nvaded this section three weeks ago scored its first victory yesterday over the combined team of the Girton and New Hall Newham colleges. The Americans won by the scant margin of one goal, the final count being 4 goals to 3. The American team is composed of former college and private school girls from the vicinity of Philadelphia.
