 ,, New Haven, Jan, 9.-Sta-.-..zg Satur- , day with Tolstoi's Russian play. Fruits of Culture" by the Yale Dra- inatic association. the festivities of Junior Prom. week vii continue unin- terruptedly until dayIigat, or some hours after, on next Wednesday morn ing. Then the promenade itself, the
 most brilliant of the whole series of gay social doings. will be over. except i; for the early morning teas" that GUS
 tomarily follow it. For once the uni
 yersity authorities have decreed a two
 days recess during the height of the Prom. due to the suggestion of the Il Student Council. and perhaps to the fact that no precedent will pc estao-
 lished, for next year the new semester
 schedule will provide opportune 1 break in the curriculum. Athletic l events, teas and receptions on Sunday and Monday, the Glee clubs concert 1 Monday night followed by the Senior 1 dance at the Taft, and the Junior and l Sophomore germans, are the functions 1 that lead up to the Prom. on Tuesday i night. For 8 month or more the men have been filling out the long pro l grammes of AZ dances, and everything 1 is being done to make the dance as 1 big as ever.
 1 Vale football revision brought mum Der of former players to New Haven I Saturday night to discuss possible irn- l provements. Captain Henry H. Ketch- am outlined the four plans that he had | in mind as to the betterment of the i coaching system next fall. The first 1 was to continue the present system l of having the head coach appointed l from the graduating senior class; the 1 second, to have permanent coach l such as Harvard has; the third, to se- cure Walter Camp as head coach with l a number of assistant coaches, includ- 1 ing couple of men from the team Of 1 the preceding year. His fourth plan l p0 head coach hut l advisory committee, with one man at l it's head, who should have charge of planning the campaign, and field 1 coach who should also be on this l same committee. The majority of the l graduates present seemed to favor I football committee, with Walter Camp 1 at the head, and it was suggested that | this committee have the power to se- 1 Iect a coach and then keep in close 1 touch with him. There was much op- position to the idea of putting the team l into the hands of young men who, 1t was claimed, assumed that they knew more football than the older coaches. 1 Tribute was paid to MT. Camp as the greatest football strategist that we have today" and to help him as field coach Frank Hinckey and Foster San l ford were favored by respective sup poFterS.
 Walter Camp said he was a great believer in Frank Hincl<ey. He thought that whoever was chosen should have
  back to start the early work in the fall. We must get away from the feel I ing that a man of four or five years back doesn't know the game as it is played today. Captain Ketcham was given power to appoint five men with whom to con- 1 fer and arrive at definite decision He had already appointed Walter | Camp as his athletic advisor.
 President HadIey and prominent | men on the faculty have expressed 1 themselves as delighted over President 1 fessorship of law in the Academica1 l department of the university. All that | tn ex-president will have to do in the l way of his purely official duties will I be to lecture three times a week, in re- l turn for which he will receive the in come of the Kent endowment of $5,0O0- But it is also expected that he will devote part of his time to the Yale Law school in addition to the college l professorship and naturally he will re- 1 ceiye a fitting salary for his teaching | in both departments of the university. Just where Professor Taft is to re- | side when he comes to New Haven in l the spring has not been determined 1 but Colonel I. M Ullman of New Ha- ven has been looking over various sites, chiefly on Hillhouse and Whit ney avenues, and the building formerly l occupied by the Cheney sanatoriuIn is favorably regarded. One IItllhouse avenue owner asked an exorbitanf price of one property, but another was found, of which the purchase price asked was said to be $75,000.
 The sensation of the winter, one that even drove anticipation of the Prom. out of mind for a time is the marriage of Lefty" Flynn, the big football star of last fall, to chorus girl, Grace LeClaire of the Winter Garden, New York. It was trick of the very first order that Lefty worked on relatives and college friends. and the newspaper headlines Wednesday had a stunning effect on the undergraduates.
 For Flynn can return to Yale no more, and the football eleven of 1913 will be without the giant fullback and
 the wonderful punter who was the
 cause of such lengthy and admiring comment last season
 The rules of the Sheffield Scientific school, where Flynn was a member or
 the junior class, prohibit an under
 graduate who is married. The same is
 true of the college. although in the
 graduate departments there is no such
 ruling.
 So that instead of starring on Yale
 field another fall, and also of featuring
 in the spring athletics as we'll. Lefty
 will reside in New York with his act-
 ress wife, whose photographs show
 that she is pretty, in spite of life at
 the Winter Garden. and help out in
 the big contracting business Of his
