 Up on the Driving park the All Brooklyns will hold forth and their opponents will be the All-New Haven team.

 best of them He is determined to get a crack at the All-Waterburys
 and he believes that if his team i does make good fight against the 1 All-New Havens, he may be able to force the eAll-Waterburys into game.

 There's one thing about Yale and l Princeton, they stand or fall by their | own coaching. Unlike Harvard, they
 don't feel called on to go outside l their own gridiron alumni for coach-
 es. Pennsylvania. too, has depended I on her own graduates for coaches
 since the Woodruff days, and Cornell I has come to rely on graduate coach ing entirely. However, if Harvard must get an outside coach, she could not have gotten a better one than
 Lieutenant Graves. Graves was an
 exceptionally good tackle when he was at West Point and he is good man to inject dash and vim into a l sluggish player. He helped coach the Harvard tackles last year and l brought about big improvement in
 their work. Years ago couple of 1 Yale men coached Harvard, Laurie
 Bliss and Pa Corbin.
 These Yale coaches, by the way,
 have habit of sticking by one an other. Ray Biglow was up at Am !, herst the other day and while there
 found time to help Overall, former Yale end, in the coaching. Tad
 Jones went up to Syracuse last week l to help his brother Howard with the l Syracusans, and Jack Gates has been 1 helping Paige out down at Annapolis.
 Morris Ely helped George Sanford
 occasionally at Columbia.
 The Fordham squad was put
 through a very spirited practice yes
 terday by Coach Howard Gargan. Considerable attention was paid to i. drop kicking, department in which
 Quarterback Francis Gargan is show \ ing improvement. Coffey and Scan lon were tried at bunting and each averaged about fifty yards. At place
 kicking Captain Leo Fitzpatrick ex- Il celled.
 I Two twenty minute scrimmages
 with the scrubs formed the most wig.
 orous portion of the practice. The
 varsity played with great dash and
 scored three touchdowns in each half
 White got two, one on sixty yard
 run around left end, and the other
 from an on-side kick by Walsh. Sis
 kind, Coffey, Scanlon and Wilks se-
 cured the other touchdowns. McCaf
 frey was not out for practice. as his
 shoulder is rather badly injured Geary was kept out of the scrimmages on account of a swollen ankle.
