FRESHMEN HAD STIFF PRACTICE

FINAL WEEK OF SEASON BEGUN WITH LONG AND THOROUGH DRILL.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With no injuries received in the game with Princeton, the 1921 squad started its final week of practice before the Yale Freshman game on Saturday with a stiff workout in the Stadium yesterday. In place of the usual light practice after a hard game, Coach Wallace gave his men a long drill on signals, and the team met the informal University eleven in a long period of light scrimmage in which no tackling was allowed.

Coach Wallace expressed himself as pleased with the eleven's work against Princeton. "The team played a hard and strong game," he said, "especially in the early periods. In the second half the attack did not work so well and the Princeton team came back much stronger. The Yale 41 to 0 win over Andover shows us that we are up against a more powerful team this Saturday."

Team work and accuracy will be the keynotes of practice from now on, as these have been the chief defects in the team's play throughout the season. A final polishing of the attack with the addition of new defensive formations will also be emphasized. Little scrimmage will be attempted, however, for fear of first-string men in the Yale game.

The informals, likewise, are beginning the final week of their season which ends on Saturday with the game against the Naval Reserves at Newport. The disappointing outcome of the Campp Devens game coupled with the remarkable showing of the sailors in their latest games has made a week of stiff practice essential for the informals. The scrimmage with the Freshmen was used by Coach Rollins to point out the errors made against the soldiers.

Tickets for the Yale-University Freshman game are now on sale at the H. A. A. and Leavitt & Peirce's.
