HEAD
COACH OF
YALE "ll'
=
Jersey Star, Assisted By
Jones, Will Drill Els
1908 Football Squad.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 29.-Captain
Robert B. Bureh, of the Yale football
eleven, has appointed Lucius H. Biglow.
the Montclalr star who captained the
championship 1907 Yale eleven, as head
coach Tad Jones win be assistant coach.
Captain Bigow had thought that it
would be impossible for him to return next
fall, but finally accepted the appointment.
The combination promises the best pair
of coaches Yale has ever had, Biglow for
the Iinemen and Jones for the backfield.
Biglow has played on the varsity three
years at tackle, and was captain and all
America tackle last fall He did the en-
tire coaching of the line and developed
Il stonewail defense. Many followers of
football at Yale insist that Bigow is as
good coach as Frank Hinkey, the great
end aud captain.
Jones is captain of the baseball team,
and. like Biglow, is a great leader. He
is quick and clever at planning and
executing play and understands every
position in the backfeld. The quarter
back next year will be the principal vacant
position. and Tad will be invaluable in
developing someone for the position.
Burch has not the slightest idea of play
ing at quarterback. His playing at right
end was Of such high quality before he
Nwas injured that he will be needed to
take the place of Alcott.
The candidates for quarterback will be
Hopkins. Of the present freshman team
and Wheaton, Philbin and fitzpatrick. The
former two were substitute halfbacks on
the varsity THIS year and fitzpatrick was
4 fulhhck and captain of the freshman
team
Jones will have excellent material foi
the rest of the backfield Coy, the won
derful fulback, will be here, and for half
backs there will be Fred Murphy, Free
Daley who was captain of Andover two
years ago. and possibly Philbin, Wheatol
ard Fitzpatrick.
Brides will probably go back to thu
line this year. as there will be many va
cancies there. He is a wonderful defensive
player and may take Biglows place a
right tackle.
With Burch at right end Biglow will
have two first-rate-mcn for the other end
hogan and Tony Haines, the latter o
this years freshman team. Goebel viii b'
at his old place at right guard, Andru!
will try for left guard. Hobbs, who wai
captain of Andover two years ago and whit
passed one year at Dartmouth, will talk
Palge's place at tackle. For the centre
position Cooney will have the first chance
Hyde, of this years freshman team, viii
make strong substitute.
The other candidates for the captancy
Coy and Brides, have congratulated Burcl
and will utilize every chance of turning
out winning team.

They opened the bout by swapping
rights. then Mcfarland rushed Loughley,
and with a hail Of blows, staggered the
Quaker boy. Loughrey kept coming for
his medicine, but Packey threw over
three rights to the jaw that were almost
enough to end the bout before It was

to take the count Of seven.

count of nine, but he got to his feet and
fought back.
From the fourth round Loughrey showed
a decided improvement. Packey's lead
was cut down to shade in the fourth,

own, standing toe to toe and swapping
