'Varsity Practice.

Touchdown - Manning.

Ninety-Eight Eleven.The freshman football candidates lined up in two elevens yesterday afternoon and went through some hard practice. The inexperience of all the men was very prominent and Coach Forbes was often forced to stop the play and show the men their individual faults. The blocking off was very loose and the backs made futile attempts to follow the ragged interference. The men have not learned to tackle well and often catch the runner above the shoulders, which was a very prominent fault. The second eleven was managed well and made good gains through the first eleven's centre, which was especially weak. The team captained by Scott had the advantage at every point and made the greater number of touchdowns. The men were quick in getting to their places and played with more dash and snap than has been seen for some days.

NEW HAVEN, CONN., Oct. 24. - The Yale and B. A. A. elevens played a good game at the Yale Field this afternoon. A wet ball caused constant fumbling, but the visitors kept Yale from scoring for 18 minutes. The playing was fierce and Borden sustained a broken collar bone. Yale played a constant kicking game, punting the ball into Boston ground and forcing their opponents to rush it back by bucking the Yale centre, which often failed. Butterworth made all the three touchdowns and kicked a goal from the field. Murphy, Wade and DeWitt made the greatest runs for Yale and Dearborn and Mason made the best showing for the B. A. A. The line-up:
