There is much difference of opinion in
regard to the mistakes of Yale's coach
ing system In view of what was accom-
plished toward the end of the season
there can be little doubt that Head Coach
Coy has not been a success as an in
structor. 1t merely emphasizes the fact
that a good captain is not necessarily a
successful coach. Yale men realize TINS
now. and a movement is on root TO nave
the head coach appointed for his ability
as a coach, d ing away with the time
honored custom Of always making ccach
out of the retired captain.
The Yale-Harvard, game was olsap-

tackles shift. which was touted as the
great new play of the year and predicted

has been learned, but Dartmouth men are
plainly worried. They point to the fact
that Harvard will make big mistake If
she substitutes Princeton for them ms
ia no doubt true. for the Dartmouth game
draws almost as big a crowd every year
as the Yale game and undoubtedly more
than Princeton would draw. Further

she can furnish Harvard better game
than Princeton.

Michigan Victory Pleases East.
Eastern foot ball men have expressed

succession Michigan. while defying the
western conference, has won the western
