"New Haven, Conn., Feb. 26.--Yale football team is having spring practice this winter."
This was the wording of a telegram from the Yale News last night in response to a telegraphic request from the CRIMSON to confirm the report that Yale is conducting extensive winter football drill.
The original report received by the CRIMSON had it that the Yale football men had already had about 40 days of intensive practice this winter, including signal drill, dummy scrimmage, and training in fundamentals, the latter particularly for Freshmen. The CRIMSON quoted these facts and asked the News for corroboration and further details, with the result noted above.
This winter drill replaces the customary spring practice and is not, despite rumors to the contrary, a violation of the new Harvard-Yale-Princeton agreement, which limits practice only before the opening of the universities in the fall.
