...present it seems most probable that Huntington will stay at fullback with Campbell on his left, though the former may be put at centre again and a substitute play at fullback. Parmenter has been holding the centre of the line this week and will play there unless the above shift is made at the last moment. Storer, who was shifted at short notice from centre to right tackle to fill Gardiner's place, has remained there and has played remarkably well. With Captain Fisher beside him there is a solid defence against plays inside of tackle. The end position...
...Yale attack is developed and built up upon the shift play developed in its infancy by Glenn Warner and improved by Minnesota. The shift is good for swing plays outside of tackle or around the end but weak for line plunging. The strength of the Yale shift is dependent upon the speed of the linemen in getting to the line of scrimmage and upon the variety of formations which can be used in shifting the line. The Yale backfield gets around the runner in good style and puts the defensive linemen out of play much better and surer than...
...Practice for the Yale football squad this afternoon was comparatively light, there being no scrimmage. Instead there was a short signal drill, a half-hour session of individual coaching, and practice for the ends in running down under the kicks of Camp and Captain Howe. The only shift in the line-up was an exchange of end positions between Avery and Bomeisler, the former going to the left wing, and the latter to the right. The student body marched down to the field to watch practice and rehearse songs and cheers...
...through an hour's hard drill yesterday afternoon, the first half-hour being devoted to a hard scrimmage in which the first team scored one touchdown, Reynolds carrying the ball across the goal-line. Practice was fast and all the men showed up to good advantage. Another radical shift was made in the line-up, Storer replacing Jenckes at right tackle and Parmenter filling the vacant centre position. Frothingham played centre and Lingard left tackle on the substitute eleven...
Felton and Campbell were out again in football clothes and ran about the field, though neither entered the line-ups. Potter was out on the side-lines watching the practice. On the University team there was another shift. Captain Fisher went back to his old position at right guard and Jenckes was put in at tackle. This will probably be the regular line-up for the final games, though there is still possibility of further changes. The position of quarterback on the first team is still filled by Gardner, with Freedley as substitute...
