ELI LINE-UP STRENGTHENED

ALDRICH STRONG IN BACKFIELD

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

After more than three weeks of practice, the line-up of the Yale team, with the return of several cripples, has become more settled. The first test of the Blue's strength will be registered Saturday when Carnegie Tech, invades the Yale Bowl with the hope of keeping the Ell margin of victory as small as possible. Even though Captain Callahan mixed into the scrimmage during Monday's session, it is not to be expected that the Blue leader will start the game Saturday. If he does, it will be an ex- ception to his custom, which is to allow Galvin, a very acceptable substitute, to fill his herth until the final games. Callahan is in splendid shape except for his bad ankle, weighing 230 pounds this fall, an increase of 20 pounds over last year. The coaches maintain that they already see improvement in the 1921 captain's work. John Acosta, recently out of scrimmage with an injured set of teeth, was another who reentered scrimmage this week. At the other guard position, Herr selected last year as the best Freshman guard in the East, appears to have the call. For a man of 260 pounds, he is remarkably active. At the tackles, Dickens is an experienced, heady player, unlikely to be displaced but who is to be his running male is a question that is bothering Coach Jones and his coterie of assistants. It would seem that Eddie Eagan is not first-rate end material, however good a boxer he may be; and the latest player turned over to Coaches Vaughan, late of Exeter, and Moseley, to be seasoned to end play is Leon Walker, rangy tackle of last year. This leaves the other tackle position vacant, filled temporarily by McKay, promising candidate from last year's 1923 squad. Walker is the third of the 1919 crop of tackles to be given an opportunity to fill the breach at the ends. Munger and Calhoun are the other two possibilities as wingmen, both tackles of last year. Munger has been out recently with a bad tendon, and on Monday Calhoun played at one of the ends. Dilworth, if he does not reopen old injuries received while in the service, seems certain to hold down one end in the face of such competition. He has not had the experience of first-team play, but anyone who saw him flash in the 1921 Freshman game here three years ago will vouch that he has the ability.

In the backfield, Kempton is playing far better football, as is natural, under his former Exeter mentor, than he could under Sharpe; Murphy, though a valuable drop-kicker, is too frail to displace Kempton Playing at halfback in the latest scrimmage are Aldrich, who already shapes up as the star of the Yale offense, and French, a reliable back. Webb took Jordan's place at fullback, but the former Exeter back is the favorite to start Saturday's game
