There Is graduate advisory council with
special football committee; there is
committee OF three men to serve as a spe-
cial graduate coaching committee. and
there is a head coach. This system has re-
placed the one-man regime of recent years
and has had only one season OF trial. SO
that Princetonians cannot say yet whether
il will he successful or not. II depends ON
the men, Of course. in measure. but il
seems TO be A system To bring out the men,
il they are there to be brought out.
Every head coach has three tasks that
divide his season sharply RE has 10 teach
his men the fundamentals Of the game. lie
has To mould them into a machine that
can work together. and. finally. he has to
polish his machine and teach it the plays
that will make 1t superior 10 another ma
chine just good in the fundamentals and
in team work.
Theoretically. the defence of teams like
Harvard and Yale against ordinary attack
is supposed 10 be impregnable. and no big
team nowadays goes into a game with the
idea that II can score on its traditional
rival by straight football, so called. There
fore. the polishing process is supposed to
give the team variety of attack. a STRAIT
egy that will enable il TO overcome de-
fence as good as its own by surprise. by
skiful massing OF offensive power against
a spot left uncovered or weakened.

THE UPTO=DATE FOOTBALL COACH is RATHER QUIET MAN

chief OF staff. the Won Moltke Of Yale's
football forces, directing his campaigns
through active commanders in the field. OF
whom there are usually three. with rank
As division commanders. Always at Yale
there is a head coach, generally the cap
tain Of the eleven the year before. and
field coach. selected among the younger
graduates. The other leader Of high rank
is the captain. and his authority at Yale IS
great
Yale does not always select the captain
Of one years eleven as head coach the
next year. The leader OF beaten team
seldom attains that distinction and Gould
in 1901. Rafferty, In 1903. and Burch last
year missed selection. There have been
other cases. too. Sometimes a captain has
not the time 10 come back. sometimes he
is not regarded as temperamentally fitted
for the work. but as a rule that IS the line
OF selection.
The way the system works Is shown by
Yale's recent record. But it's the man and
not the system. after all They tried the
same system at Pennsylvania but they
had no Walter Camp, and il did not work
at all Now they have coaching commit
tee at Pennsylvania. with one OF the
younger alumni as field or head coach.

while YOU reciine inert-relaXed. on an

A higher power. The sense of freedom in

There Is endless variety in an aeroplane

depends upon the air currents and the
