YESTERDAY'S PRACTICE.

The first practice after the Yale game brought out nearly all of the regular 'Varsity men, although none but the substitutes went into the line-up. Swain injured his knee quite severely in Saturday's game and has had it splints, but will probably be in form to enter the Pennsylvania game. It is doubtful if Warren will recover from his dislocated shoulder in time to permit his playing. Cabot's knee is also troubling him again, but with the exception of these men, there are no injuries which will handicap Harvard very seriously next Saturday.

After the reaction of the Yale game, the spirit of the practice was admirable. Every man seemed to be making an extra effort and the result was that the team showed some of the hardest and fiercest football that has been seen on the field this season. Plenty of coaches were out, prominent among whom was B. G. Waters '94. Through his energetic, lively directions the men got into the plays in rare form and forced the second eleven at almost every point.

For the first time this season Mills was tried behind the line at fullback. It has been thought that advantageous results might be obtained by making this change. Haughton would then play tackle on the offence, while on the defense Mills would go back to his regular position. By this plan Harvard would be practically as strong in the line on the offensive, while behind the line Mills shows all the qualifications of a hard line-bucker. There was also a reversal of positions among the substitute ends, Richardson and Bull changing places.

The two elevens lined up for 35 minutes in all, during which time the 'Varsity scored four times, and the second once on a place goal from a fair catch by Maguire. Sullivan played the best game of the backs, and really showed his best form of the year. His running was hard and he hit the line with a great deal of force. Shaw and Wheeler both forced the weaker second line for large holes, while Boal proved particularly effective in gaining ground.

Taken as a whole the practice was decidedly encouraging and gave decisive evidence that even a team composed largely of substitutes can play a hard, fast game, with energy and determination behind them.
