JONES STARTS WITH NEW PLAYS
Drills Yale Boys on Fresh stuff from
The Jump.


NEW HAVEN, Oct. 18.-Almost as soon
as practice started on Yale field this fall,
Head Coach Howard Jones started in with
the new style of foot ball. Since orwar
passes and onside kicks have been in vogue
the coaches have usually left those plays
until later in the season before developing
them. The opening games for the past
three yeads have been only straight foot
ball by Yale, until the Blu eleven had got
fairly under way. The new plays have
been frequently used here in games this sea-
son SO far, and Coach Jones intends to
make them features Of the play the rest
OF the season, for he has spent more time
on them than on any others.
The absence OF Captain Coy from the
lineup throws the brunt OF the offense
upon Philbln DAILY and Field for the pres
emit. DAILY and Field have been selected
to do most of the new style OF offensive
work, while Philbin has done more Of the
old style running with the ball. Haine at
end had been selected to do the punting
and to receive onside kicks. Owing to the
lack OF a heavy mar for the backfield he
had been temporarily shifted TO fullback
until Coy comes back. but he will 90 TO
end after that. He does the puntinE and
delivers the onside kick while he plays
fullback, n he has been especially
coached to receive the onside kick when
At end, and also to take the forward pass.
Captain Coy's absence neeessitated the
appointment of an acting captain, Logan
getting the honor. He also is being
coached to a the new plays at end. Be
ing faster than any other man on the
squad Of ends, he has been picked to work
out several trick plays that Jones is pre-
pariRg for Harvard and Princeton.
Little johnson seems to have the call for
the quarterback position just at present,
and he probably will solve the biggest
problem that Coach Jones has 10 face, the
finding OF a general for the team. The
lack OF one lost the Harvard game last
year. Johnson is a man that can run well
with the ball, deliver an onside kick. or
make a neat forward pass, and he has
shown up particularly well in the early
games. II he can learn how 10 direct plays,
which is the only need he has, he viii
prove a second Tad Jones.
All OF the men being used for the for
ward pass and onslde kick game are not
heavy men, but are 1.-THE and speedy.
Johnson does not weigh over no pounds,
Field is about 100, Haines weighs 175. Logan
weighs 100, and DAILY 1856. They are the
lightest men on the regular squad. n II
is because Of their speed that they have
been able to fall in with the plan Of Coach
Jones. He wants just such man as they
are to get Off his plays in a hurry, and.
with the heavy line that Yale has. the COM
binatlon should prove very formidable
when the team Is fully developed.
