is SWINGING BACK
Yale Returns to Graduate Coaching
in Base Ball and Rowing.
HIGH AVERAGE IS MAINTAINED
Similar Changes Have Been Made
from Year 90 Year, Although
They DO Not Always
Attract Attention.

NEW YORK, oct. 1.-THE return of
Yale to graduate coaching In both base
ball and rowing is not without precedent
In the history of college athletics. for In
almost every institution similar changes
are made from year to year, although
they do not always attract so much at
tention as has been the case with the new
plans instituted at New Haven. II seems
that in some colleges professional coach
ing is good for just a certain number OF
years and then when the pendulum be-
gins to swing back and the teams fall
little lower in quality year by year there
Is talk OF reverting to graduate coach
ing. Then the same course of events fol-
low itself out. The graduate coaches
have success for time and then their
teams too begin to show a falling off and
once more It is time for the professional.
The one good feature OF all this, how
ever, Is that the quality Of the teams in
any one institution Ia usually maintained
at pretty high average. Instances can
be cited from Columbia's rowing record
Under Walter Peet, IS, Columbia won
the first intercollegiate regatta. but SOW
eral years OF graduate coaching after
that lone victory failed TO be productive
Of results. Then Ned Hanlan was ap.
pointed coach ana Columbias crew once
more doomed up as formidable. Hanlan,
too. had his day; the pendulum swung
back to graduate coaching, the choice go
ing to Jasper Goodwin OF the Columbia
Henley four.
Goodwin. however, was never really
successful, and again a change was made
10 the ranks of the professionals and
now John Rice is holding down the Job
with all kinds OF success. OF course the
history OF rowing at Cornell is not the
record OF series OF changes such as
has been the case at Columbia, chiefly
because Courtney from the first day he
set foot on Ithaca ground was success
full. From the way Rice Is shaping at
Columbia there won't be many more
changes at Columbia either.
All OF this is not said with the idea OF
diSparaglng Yale's new policy. It is
rather with the intention OF pointing out
that where graduate coaching fails there
Ia always q decided tendency TO rush off
into the professional world and where
the pro" has no success the Numerically
opposite IL true After all, there lie not
much difference between the two for
the sole object Of having a coach is 10
instruct men In the arts Of a particular
branch OF sport with the idea OF emerg-
ing victorious at the end OF the season
not too far in the background.
Yet II John Kennedy had turned out a
winning crew last June or II Billy Lush's
base ball nine had won the champion
ship there IL little doubt that both would
stlll DO holding down their old Jobs in
New Haven.

the first three minutes OF play, but IT
did not last after this; It was too short

fronting Coach Burnett, TO Impress upon
the lads the Importance OF team work
in the game, and TO drill the line and
the back field to play together as one

the results of the games this season
will depend upon the work OF star In
dividual players rather than upon the
work OF the team as a whole. In a

ability the grit. and a good coach, and
has only TO develop In team work TO

Players in Foot Ball Squad.
ENDS ARE WEAK ON PASSES
Coach Feels that He Must Impress
Upon the Lads the Importance of
Team Work, Lacking In

Since the Omaha High school eleven
has begun the season some sort OF a lice
on the team may be gained and the
weak and strong places of the line and
the back field singled out. This much Is
evident, the team will have to make a
strong brace. and that soon II II expects
to uphold the winning reputation OF tho
school. The team has not mastered all
the principles of the game by any
means. In the Norfolk game, Omaha was
especially weak In tackling and most of
the players were averse TO leaving their
feet and tackling low. The ends have
not begun TO master the intricacies OF
the forward pass and several plays OF
this nature were broken UP several times

Judgments

~ IoUx CITY dopsters have it that

more credit and sympathy for his years
efforts than he is receiving. With the
extra financial strain of the new park

fodds against him and team that proved
utterly incapable so that by the end of
the season he had practically a COM
pletely new team. This meant the out
lay Of money and lots of worry and
work. And Mr.. Rourke is still up against
the stern necessity of recognising his
team for 1912. He has a good nucleus,
but that is about all, as he recognizes

season he has left Asnew, a sub catcher.
