The south- erners, arriving here last night, en- tered the contest with the hopes of of wiping out the sting of last Sat- urday's defeat when they were beat- en by the Lake Forest eleven, 7 to 6. Head Coach T. A, D. Jones of the Eli squad was forced to send a crip- pled team into the first Yale game, due to the shaking up the squad has encountered during the past week. Esscltwn and Coene, twe prominent candidates fof the line, were de- clared Ineligible and Captain Lovejoy is recovering from an fllness that has kept him out of the scrimmage for the past week.
