Only Ten Coaches to Be Allowed
at the Thanksgiving Game.
A Good Story on Jim Mitchell. OF
tho N. Y. A. c.

The Thanksgiving Day football game
will be devoid of one OF ITS most attract
I've features this year. The University
Athletic Club. which manages the game
as a matter Of kindness only-has
elected to build a row of boxes along the
north side of Manhattan Field. Behind
these will be spaces for only ten coaches
which will be the only vehicles allowed
on the field. and these will be for the
use of students only.
This may be a means of bringing more
money into the Golfers Of Yale and
Princeton, but 1t will do away largely
with the pic~turesqueness of the
occasion.
The move is not viewed kindly by all
New Workers.. AS one of them put 1t
yesterday:
The Thanksgiving game Is the outing
Of the year in New York. 1t Is IA gala
event. 1t should be as gay as possible.
but with a long row of clearinghouse
like boxes in full view of the grand
stand the scene Is robbed OF much of
Its beauty. The management says that
the vehicles are a nuisance. That may
be so, but the management could afford
TO put up with q nuisance once a year
for the SAX OF making the occasion
more enjoyable. I him the A. A. c.

but did not expect to use them. The
team would depend, he said, on playing
ordinary, everyday football, the tricks
to be called into use only when neces-
say. He added: yale does not expect
to have to use her tricks" This would
seem to mean that Yale expects to
win.
