The freshman eleven, owing to the loss of a number of its best players, is considerably broken up at present, and the prospect for a winning team is not as it was last week. Cabot has been taken on the 'varsity squad. Bouve, who has shown up well of late, has been prohibited from playing. Fuller and Ames, the two regular tackles, are laid up with broken collar bones, and it is doubtful if either will be able to play again this season. Taking it all in all, if the team were to face the Yale freshmen tomorrow the score would be something like 40 to 0, in favor of the latter. So say the coaches, Messrs. Bancroft, Forbes and and Crane.

It seemed as if the play on Saturday against Columbia could not have been worse, but it was on Monday. The second eleven went through any and all parts of the line, and scored three touchdowns in fifteen minutes. Yesterday afternoon against the 'varsity the team braced up and played a good deal stronger game, but were far from winning form.

The team as a whole has a number of faults, and bad ones at that. All the men tackle high and thus fail to throw the runner. The interference is ineffective, it does not go hard and is broken up too easily. The backs are slow in getting started, and do not hit the line with much force. When they are tackled they allow themselves to be thrown backward for a loss. They catch poorly and do not kick with any precision. The ends are the strongest part of the team, though they are slow in getting down on the ball, and sometimes let the runner outside of them. The team as a whole shows too great a tendency to stand by and watch a play instead of getting in and pushing.

Scott at quarterback, does not run the team with any snap, and seldom signals for a kick at the right time. His worst fault is high tackling.

Redpath plays a loose game. He does not use his hands when running and gives up too easily when tackled, and often drops the ball when thrown. He often misses his tackle.

Knox has the distinction of being about the only man on the team who uses his head. He is not very strong, but plays a low, hard game. He fails to get his height when tackled, and is slow in lining up.

Manning has no particular faults, yet he does not play well. He plays rather loosely and tackles weakly.

The chief trouble with the rush line is that the men fail to get through on the runners.

Woodward does not overwork himself and is slow.

Hoague, as centre, is slow, tackles high and is carried out of the play too easily.

Seaver has just come down from the 'varsity rush lines. He is rather green, and is too easily caught off of his guard. He plays too high, and rarely breaks through.

Holmes and Rice fail to protect their positions and are slow in the interference.

Woods, on end, plays a good, hard, conscientious game. He, however, is slow in getting down on the ball, and sometimes lets a play go outside him. He cannot keep off side.

Bull at the other end is one of the best players on the team. He is at present laid up, and his place is taken by Newell. The latter plays hard, but fails to protect his position. Newell also has a lame shoulder and is likely to be injured.

Gierarch and Brown are both hard players, and the latter should make a first-class tackle.

Adams, who took Cabot's place at halfback, plays hard and well, but fumbles and fails to follow his interference. He is light and therefore not effective on offensive work. He does not judge the ball well.

C. Brewer Injured.During football practice yesterday, C. Brewer strained the tendons in his right foot, and will be thrown out of practice temporarily. Dr. Conant, after examining the injury, said that he would probably be able to play Saturday, and that the injury ought not to affect his punting.
