Hard Practice at New Haven

New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1907.--This afternoon the Yale football squad was divided into three elevens, and put through a long signal practice. The first team had a scrimmage with the second, the first team's line being made up mostly of substitutes. This was done to give the backs practice in breaking up a strong defensive line, need of which was shown in the West Point game. Many forward passes were tried, and several netted substantial gains. The ball was always given to the first team, even when the second held for downs. The line-up of the first team follows: H. Jones, l.e.; Biddle, l.t.; Brown, l.g.; Cooney, c.; Goebel, r.g.; Bigelow, Foster, r.t.; Piggot, r.e.; Dines, q.b.; Berger, Murphy, r.h.b.; Philbin, l.h.b.; Burke, f.b.
