PLAN OF HOLDING QUlZZES IN

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-QualifylnS
examinations for the Cecil Rhodes
scholarships will be held in the vari-
ous educational centers throughout
the United States today and tomorrow
The plan of holding the examina-
lions i'm October is experimental, and
the question of making it permanent
will be decided later. The trustees
have decided that any candidate from
the United States who has passed the
Qualifying examination in Latin ana
mathematics shall be eligible al
though he has not passed in Greek.
Greek heretofore has formed one Oh
the subjects which all candidates for
the Rhodes scholarship must pass in
order to take any other examinations
which presupposes this entrance ex-
animation. 1t has been found tnat
the small amount of Greek required
for this qualifying examination, pre-
vents some otherwise desirable candi-
dates in the United States from COM
peting for the Rhodes scholarship.
1t has also been said that some stu
dents, who are unwilling to prepare
the required Greek on the mere chance
of getting a scholarship. would willing
" do so when once the scholarship
has been awarded to them
Oxford university has not, however
changed it's requirements. 1t is al
most certain that the Oxford college,
which accepts scholars so selected VIII

Greek examination on coming Into res

Oxford toward the close of september
of each year. IA scholar-elect Will thus

VALE DEVELOPS
NEW STYLE GAME

NEW HAVEN, Conn, oct 19.-Al-
Yale field this fall Head Coach Howard
Jones started in with the new style of
football. Since forward passes and on
side kicks have been in vogue the
coaches have usually left those plays
until later in the season before devel-
oping them. The opening games for
the past three years have seen only
straight football by Yale until the Blue
eleven had got fairly under way. The
new plays have been frequently used
here in games this season so far, and
Coach Jones intends to make them fea-
lures of the play the rest of the sea-
son. for he has spent more time on
them than on any others.
The absence of Capt. Coy from the
lineup throws the brunt of the defense
upon Philbin DAILY and Field for the
present DAILY and Field have been Sc
lected to do most of the new style of
offensive work. while Phlbn has done
more of the old style running with the
ball Haines at end had been selected
to do the punting and to receive on
side kicks. Owing to the lack of a
heavy man for the backfield he had
been temporarily shifted to fullback
until Coy comes back. but he Will go
to end after that He does the punt
ing and delivers the onside kick while
he plays fullback, and he has been es-
pecially coached to receive the inside
wick while at end, and also to take the
forward pass.

Little Johnson seems to have the call

the team The lack of one lost the
Harvard game last year. Johnson is
a man that can run we'll with the ball,
deliver an on-side kick or make a neat
forward pass. and he has shown up
particularly we'll in the early games.
If he can learn how to direct plays,
which is the only need he has, he will
prove a second Tad Jones.
