NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1%— ‘That Al Sharpe intends to make good use of the final week before the Har- vard tussle is shown by the fact that to-day’s work-out will feature a scrimmage, Hard work on the first day Is made possible by the excellent condition with which the team came out of the Tiger contest through the Kindness of fate and the injection of eubstitutes in the varsity. It was an oki Eli alumnus, one of the straight, old-fashioned football days, that said last night that Harvard would never get a touchdown through the Yale line from tackle to tackle next Saturday. Then he said that he had in mind the excellent defense put up by Yale’s line Saturday against ~ almost every Princeton line plunge. He also had in mind the lack of de- fense for the rincetonian’s open |play. Just how serious this defect is considered by the Yale mentors will be reflected in the amount of forward Pass defense evident this week, If they are satisfied to let an opponent receive a pass without being chal- lenged, as in the Princeton 1e, when at least four times a lone Tiger signalling for the pass was wed to receive the hurl, with Braden and | Neville calmly standing b; ting to smear him onty after making a gain of eight or ten yards, if they are con- tent with this state of affairs, Yale cannot stand up before Harvard on the 22d. The strength of the Yale line is a8 apparent to Harvard as it is to Yale and as it was to Princeton, consequently it i@ plain to be seen that open piay with a little Haughton | intused tr stuff is bound to ngure in the Blue-Crimson struggle. Yale's mid-season games, especial; with Brown, Tufts and Springfield, to be worth anything should have taught the Yale team a forward pass dete: Although each of these teams threw scares into Yale by brilliant tosses Yale always solved the ack before the end of the game and from this preliminary ability Yale jumed that it could solve just as easily the cleverly conceived a u ack of the Orange and Black that wi worked out exactly to the | infinitesimal detail. Princeton receives credit for the victory from every Yale man. Prince- ton made more touchdowns than Yale, fumbled less and altogether eclipsed the Elis on forward passing. But on the other hand Yale is not down- hearted. On the contrary they feel that the game the Blue will put on for Harvard's benefit will show a new strength, dormant against, the Tigers. Harvard cannot forget that Yale beat a team 14—0 that in turn defeated one of the championship contenders, Dartmouth, 7—6, a team that Harvard Itself was only able to. register one touchdown against. For, ;that reagon Yale followers are to be | expected to stick with their team, and lyale support will be shown in many a Blue banner and bunch of violets in the Stadium next week, —_—— HARVARD EXPECTS YALE TO SCORE WITH BRADEN’S EXCELLENT DROP-KICKING. (Special to The Evening World.) CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 17.—Har- vard’e pilgrims are back from New Haven with a fine stock in trade of the faults and failings of the Yale team in its game with Princeton.’ Coach Fisher, Mal Logan, Percy Haughton and Leo Leary are the coachvs who watched the Tiger gobble up the un’ py Bulldog, while \Capt, Murray, Eddie Casey and Ralph Horween of the varsity were among those present at the obsequies. The Harvard players noted that Yale showed weakness in defending against the very forward passes which their scouts saw Princeton use against the Crimson a week ago, Likewise that the Eil backs fell down miser- ably in taking the opposing ends out, allowing the latter a free fleld to go down and bounce unopposed upon tho haplws Fido Kempton, The men diffcred as to the real strength of the Yale forward line, some pronoun-. ing it formidable and the others dis- missing the subject by calling it far from that. All, however, conceded that Yale will score next Saturday with such’ a fine drop kicker as Jim Braden In her back garden. The Crimson folks weuldn’t discuss their own chances to defeat Yale, but the undergraduates are looking for @ 12 to 15 point score, which théy believe wil, be enough to subdue the Sharpe guys. Yale, so, they clam here, is asking odds of” 2 to 1. Practice is resumed in the stadium to-day. Nobody who took part in the’ Tufts contest was Injured. One of the ends and centre are still open, and likely fullback, Arnold Horween, on his showing Saturday, will probably play fullback in place of his brother Raiph, who will be on the side lines ready for a drop kick. Jack Desmond may possibly play left end, though there ie considerable reason to doubt it, as,he limped badly Saturday, Kane and Hubbard will fight tt out for ight tackle this week, while Joe Ryan or Mirris Phinney will play the dis- puted wing in case Desmond doesn’t come around,
