season TO come all through the sum
mer and have been keeping at the
course OF light training which Head
Coach Haughton outlined for them.
1t viii be a season of many coaches
for the Crimson, for the head OF the
football tutorial staff Will be assisted
this year by Dave Campbell, Charles
DAILY, Crawford Bladgen, Francis
Burr, Hamilton Fish, Leon Leary and
Earl Long
H%aughton, by the way, is enthusi-
astic about the new rules and Is one
of their most ardent supporters. He
believes that much that has called for
criticism In the past and many of the
admittedly obnoxious features OF the
game will be done away with by the
rulings that are to be enforced this
year. There are many who sigh for
the good old days when the number of
men in a play was not limited, when
the forward pass was a thing un-
dreamed of and the smash and grind
of powerful close formations brought
the stands bowling to their feet. But
il took an expert to appreciate much
OF the old game, and to the stands
who now witness the big contests each
year the sight of the BAH sailing far
down the field in "A successful pass or

too, that there are going to be fewer
broken bones In the contests this year.
Then men who hope to wear the
big HI or who have already at
tanned that distinction, are not the
only ones who are soon to maxi for
mountain and lake resorts for pre-
liminary training. Practice is due to
begin in many places about this
Tune next month, aud the sight of a
big man with a bunch of husky com
panions who spend their days out
doors and seem to he having the best
sort of time will soon be no unusual
one in the resorts where the air is
bracing and puts snap into any activ-
ity. Urgent letters from managers
and coaches nave gone cut to many
men IN the colleges, who have shown
promise or have demonstrated their
ability on the chalked field, to attend
to these late summer schools Of foot
ball.
Coaches are anXiously scanning
new material this season, for the de-
,cidcd change in the rules makes the
veteran less of q distinct asset than
he has been IN the past. Wis quality
is known in SO far as the old game
is concerned, but it may well be that
men who have not had the rudiments
Of the more closely knit football
drilled INTO them will prove more
adaptable to conditions which pro-

with delight.
Word comes from Missoula, Mont,
that Lieutenant Philoon of the Four
teenth United States infantry, sta
toned at Fort Missoula, has beer re-
called from the maneuvers at Amer
lean Lake, Wash, in order that he
may lend his services to the coaching
staff of the army football team this
putumn, Lieutenant Philoon was the
captain of the cadet team in 1908,
and played his position Of center so
brilliantly on The field above the Hud-
son that Walter Camp picked him AS
an all-American player. They need
men of his calibre to give all the
assistance they can TO the Wearers of
the a. for the West Point boys are
tremendously handicapped by having
SO little time for practice and by the
other hindering rules which the strict
discipline of the post requires. Their
coaching staff should be of the best
therefore.
