Vale Has Hopes of Vh-tory. In place i f the early season hpe of holding Harvard to a low score victory, Yale nr.w believes that her team 'has an excellent chance of defeating the Cambridge o-ombination. Harvard's progrcs.-r has In on steady and without special feature and the rrlmson pops into the game Saturday with a ;uoii's rocord unmarred by defeat. Except in the contest with Princeton, played on a slippery. waKrsoaked tield. the full strength of the Harvard combination has not been tested this autumn. In the eight frames to date, Harvard !has rolled up a total of L'lO points to her opponents 1;. Compared individually the Harvard players do appear as formidable against the Yale eleven as the team unri; and scores would seem to indiate. Of the. two baekfields the rririi -.son quartet i.s und"ubtelly the stronger and more ersatile, both on offense and defense. Hani I'a-t Plas Evicted. In the line there is not the same ri1 vantage for the crimson that exists in the baektield and any particular weakness that might be exposed ly the savage charge of the Yale forwards will have an important bearing on the result of the game, l.'nless Eogan, Rriekley and Malum have time to handle the ball cleanly and ga'n headway, their effectiveness will be greatly curtailed. That the team will play a hard, fast k'ame from .he opining whistle is expected by both universities and there appears to be no particular advantage in physical condition for either. Yale i.s likely t-o attempt to upset the Harvard combination by savage attacks and tackling at the ery outset of the game. If the crimson can maintain its composure and deliberate machine-like play during these early onslaughts one crisis in the contest will have been safely passed, for Yale hax great respect for these slow but sure methods. Watch Army and Navy. Aside from the Harvard-Vale game the chief interest of eastern football enthusiasts will be centered in the showing of the Army and Navy teams, which meet ope week from Saturday, i f the two elevens the Cadets have decidedly the harder opponents since tiie Springlleld Y.

John t'oomlis, one of the star pitchers of the Philadelphia American league club, will be one-sixteenth of an inch shorter In stature by reason of the illness that kept him out of the game all last season. This fact was established when an X-ray photograph of his rpine was taken at the University of Pennsylvania. Coombs is now sitting up a short time each day and expects soon to be taken to his farm in Maine. The doctors say he will gain strength rapidly and that next year he will be as good as ever as a pitcher. G. A. COOPER MAKES GOOD Former Physical Director Here Plays Hcgularly With Springfield. G. A. Cooper, formerly assistant physical director of the V. M. C. A., is making good with a vengeance on the Y. M. C. A. training school eleven at Springfield, Mass. Cooper since the first game has been playing regularly at guard and tackle and is expected to shine in the Army game today. Cooper is the "plug 'em up" man on the line. Wherever there is a sign of weakness "Coop" is shoved into the breach and the advance of the enemy suddenly halts. He is a powerfully built young man and knows how to use his strength as the result of long training as a wrestler. He is also fast on his feet and is a baektield prospect, before he has finished his three years course. TICKET SELLER IS FINED NKW YORK. Nov. 22.

The gold and blue was the only aggregation in the west to accomplish that feat in 1003. M. A. C. Journeyed to Notre Dame for the first important contest of the season. The gold and blue scored a 12 to 0 victory, although her teamwork was not very good. The individual skill of the varsity backs was largely responsible for Notre Dame's winning. t Notre Dame fought Northwestern to a 0 to 0 tie. in one of the most stubbornly contested games ever seen In Chicago. Towards the close of the first half Notre Dame held Northwestern for nine straight downs within the eight yard line, displaying the finest brand of defensive football that Chicago rooters had ever seen.

Pat O'Dea, one of the foremost football critics at that time, said that "Notre Dame's backfield was the fastest in the west." Later in the season Wabash fell before Notre Dame's attack .15 to 0. The Little Giants had previously defeated Indiana and had held Purdue to a close score so the gold and blue again won the state championship. The season of 1 903 was Salmon's last as a Notre Dame man. For four years he was the varsity's most valuable player and he attracted attention throughout the west, even in his freshHe captained the eleven in his last two years, leading his warriors to the state championship. It was his powerful line bucking that seriouslv threatened Michigan's goal line in 1900 and 1902 and to reach the Wolverine's five yard line in those days was performing almost the impossible. Salmon was noted also for his brilliant punting, for no man in the west could touch him as a kicker. He was twice chosen all-western fullback and when he left Notre Dame he was regarded not only as the greatest football artist ever turned out at the gold and blue school but also as one of the best men in all ways.

Voelkcrs. the Fpeedy fJouth Bnd boy who hflj been tried out at e-ery position on the Notre Dame line, may Mart the Christian Brothers gnmo this afternoon at center. Both Yoeikerw and Fitzgerald, the heavy varsity gtiard have been snapping the hail hack in this week's practice and either of theae men will t seen at th pivot position. The rea.son for this 8hift In the gold and blue lineup In made neccr.-ary by th fact that Feeney will not be on the Notre Dame roster in the St. Ioui battle. Should Harp?r decide to use Voelkers at center the ret of the varsity line will be made up of th sam men who played at Penn tate. Tn the event of Fitzgerald's playing the pivot position. Al King will go to right guard for the gold and blue. Although Feeney will not set into the Christian Brothers game he will Join the team at t. Louis and will start the Texas fray on Thanksgiving day. May Use Substitute Harpers choice of the Notre Dame backfield Is most problematical. The
recent showing of the pony backfield has greatly impressed the gold and blue menter and it will not be eurprising to see. Duggan at full and Kelleher and Iirkin at the halves. The splendid record Christian Broth ers college has made on the gridiron this year, however, mav induce Har per to send in his powerful backs so as to take no chances on losing the ; game. Should the first string take their places when the opening whlstl I is blown, it is likelv that they will giv way to their understudies during th first quarter so that Notre Dame will have its greatest strength on Thanksgiving day. Coach Luke Kelly of the Mlssourians has primed his players for this big struggle. Backed by confidence inspired by their urbroken string of victories, the St. Iuis men will battle hard to the. final whistle to sia off defeat at the hands of Notre Dame. The gold and blue will slightly outweight their opponents, but is counting more upon speed than upon weight to pull out a victory. How They Will Line Up.
