COY BELIEVES IN
TUTORING BABIES
Yale Coach Says the System of
NegIeCting Freshman Can
didates Hurts Varsity

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 25.-E.
II. Coy, head coach of the Yale eleven
this year, has suggested a radical
change in the method of coaching the
freshman team. He favors a resident
graduate coach. Coy says:
1T is a difficult question to decide
on the most advantageous way to coach
the freshman football teams. Now
that the first-year men are not allowed
to play on the university teams, as
they once were, the graduate coaches
who return off and on during the foot
ball season are not as eager to look
over the heterogeneous crowd Whlch
offers itself for tria. every fall. For
merly graduate would search through
the ranks of the recent preparatory
school stars and occasionally, as they
were at work, would discover someone
whom he thought had possibilities.
Then he would take this freshman ana
after several words of advice would
send him to join the university squad
where it would soon be determined
whether or not he was good enough.
Under this former regime freshman
football candidates never had to worry
for want of coaching. Now the sltu&-
ton has changed. Something must pe
done to improve our freshman rootD@Il
teams, and we must Immediately de-
eide on some more definite and safIS-
factory coaching system.
OTHERS GET GOOD RESULTS
"Of course. the most advisable and
effective system would be to have a
resident graduate coach in charge of
the freshman squad. 1t is altogether
too difficult a proposition for one IN
experienced Undergraduate to handle.
But the question iS-could graduate
be induced to return to college and
give I'D so much time to a freshman
team? 1t is my belief that this grad
uate should live with the coaches OF
the university eleven, and by so doing
become thoroughly acquainted with the
developed along lines similar TO the
university system. If this could be
done our freshman football teams could
be developed along lines similar to the
big teams, and therefore would ne aple
to start their second year Of college
football with a general knowledge OF
how things are done and know just
what would be expected of them.
"At any rate, the freshman coach
should be in closer touch with the other
coaches than he has been in the past
1t is the men who are candidates for
the freshman teams that are soon
members of the university and we owe
it not only to those individuals, but
also to the college, to do all that we
can to develop them. Each year that
we neglect our freshmen means that
our university teams the following year
will be less educated n the game OF
football: whereas, if we give to these
newcomers our loyal attention, our
university teams will in turn I've great

A garment that shall be as superior to our trous- CTS as the shirt waist is to our shirts that is what woman will devise to wrest from us our last claims to su- premacy.

THE SHIRT. WAIST VIEWED
 AS A SOCIOLOGICAL FACTOR.

| Consider now the shirt waist. It is
 well worthy of consideration, says T
 K. Hedrick in the Chicago News
 That staple article of feminine ap-
 parel suddenly looms large as a factor
 in national affairs. It is become an issue Of the day About it rages in- dustrial war-the shirtwaist workers of the east are on strike It furnishes so- ciety with new fad-Mrs. Belmont. Miss Morgan and other leaders of fash ion find it diverting to espouse the cause of the strikers. IL is gravely discussed in the councils of prominent politicians. for the wages of the thou sands of women who produce it and the cost of it to the millions who wear it must be taken into account in the making of tariff schedules And be- sides, strong men (and vpters), whose sole source of revenue is the labor of wives. daughters and sisters who work in the shirt waist factories. must be placated before the next election.
 Taking account of all these things. one is at first glance disposed to agree with Miss Mary Mcdowell of the Uni versity of Chicago settlement, who averred recently that the shirt waist was a great "leveler." tending to make for the universal sisterhood of wo- men.
 IL is safe to concede that the shirt waist is an important sociological, po- litical and industrial factor. but as to its leveling tendencies there may be some doubt
 Far be it from me to dispute that neat shirt waist, comfortably full of girl. is calculated to flattef out all so- cial distinctions as existing between the said girl and any representative of the chuckle headed sex. But that the eminently sensible and graceful gar ment. however well upholstered. may invade the reception room or the ball. room and mingle freely and amicably with smart frocks and gowns-who will thus avouch? IL is not de rigueur. And does the 9S-cent shirt waist of white lawn hobnob with the sheer" creation of like kind but loftier degree that costs Sl5? I asseYerate the contrary
 The shirt waist is not q leveler in the sense that it demecratiZes women and brings Mrs. Millions and Mrs Wages to the same social plane.
 But in q sraVer sense it is 9 leveler IL makes q great step toward the equalization of the sexes in the field of labor. Women clad in complete and elaborate dress could not compete with man in gainful occupations. The shirt waist marks her clearing for action In these pursuits.

Wrights and Bleriots in those days,
and gasoline motors were only an

What appears to be a credible
story relating to Andrees fate comes
out from Reindeer Lake, which is in
the Hudson Bay country, and well
within the arctic circle. The bear
ers Of the story are two missionaries,
who had it from Eskimos and In
dams. 1t runs to the effect that sew
eral years back-the Eskimos are
not good timekeepers- great
white house, made of cloth and COW
cred with ropes, fell out of the
heavens, and that there were three
white men in the house" The point
of descent of the "house" from the
heavens was about three days Jour
ney from Reindeer Lake. The three
white men were very hungry. They
had with them revolvers. Three
days after they descended they died.
The Eskimos and Indians were still
using the cloth and ropes about their
canoes, according to the story.
Father Turqueti, the missionary
who brought the story to civilization,
expresses the opinion that the three
white men were Andree, Franckel
and Strindberg; that they used their
revolvers to shoot game; that the ma
tives of the section regarded them as
supernatural beings devils, proba-
bly-and killed them. All of that
sounds reasonable. If it is true CON
