...Haven, Conn., November 18--With all heavy work over, Coach Jones sent his first and second teams through a light signal drill at the field this afternoon. The uncertainty regarding the backfield positions was apparent in this drill, when Hoben was placed at right halfback, instead of Foote, who held down the post yesterday.

Captain Coady and French, whose play stood out in the Crimson line and backfield respectively, are also on the doctor's list but should be in uniform again by Thursday. Both were badly battered in the course of the game and French also received a severe blow on the head which finally forced his with drawl from action...
