TIGERS To MAKE
RADICAL CHANGE
Princeton to Try Completely
New Football Coach
ing Scheme.

Princeton. N J.. March 4.-RadicaI
changes in the conduct of athletics at
Princeton have been made at the joint
meeting of the graduate advisory board,
the faculty committee on outdoor sports
and the undergraduate athletic execu-
tive committee of Princeton university
authorities. The plan involves impor-
tant amendments to the constitution Of
the athletic association, and a complete
change in the methods Of football
coaching, which will be tried for two
years, and, if successful, made perma-
nent
For the next two years the entire
football situation at Princeton win be
supervised and directed by a commit
tee Of three graduates. The men elect
ed are all former stars and coaches, as
follows: Howard Henry, "a: Walter G.
Booth. 190O-better known as Bunny
Booth-and Phil King, '93. These men
will constitute the supervising commit
tee and will have the final say on all
questions of football policy and admin
istTation. They will be on the ground
football season. The details Of their
duties have not been announced, but it
is supposed that they will work out the
principal plays and formations. This
committee, in conjunction with Captain
Stegling of the varsity eleven. will ap-
point one or more field coaches.
H. L. Dowd, '09, left end on last falls
team, has been elected to coach the
freshman eleven next fall. Heretofore
the youngsters have struggled along
with only spasmodic coaching from the
regular staff, ana this reform was I'm
response to a general demand from the
students. The resignation Of Professor
j. B. Fine of the Princeton preparatory
school. as athletic director. will not 60
into effect until June 1. few minor
changes we're made in general athletic
management. Hereafter all expendi-
lures by management must be ratified
by the general athletic treasurer.
