the gridiron in Saturdays games. In

out for a football coach. Coach

students, and particularly the alumni,
for an Eastern man to succeed Shell

and Princeton players are under con-
sideration. A man who is capable of
coaching both the football and base
ball teams Is being urged by many of
the alumni.
Coach Warner has been importune6
ON all sides for his advice as to num-
berlng players. In addition to the
reasons stated by Captain Ketcham

many stars, does not believe In

He believes that the spirit of athletics
can be served best by subordinating
the individual 30 the work of the
complete organization.

on Harvard against Yale at odds of
10 to 8. Betting continues to be very
light, considering the lateness of the
season, but the betting brokers feel
that many supporters of both colleges
are holding back for the final dope
before making their wagers.

Even money is offered that Yale
will not make a touchdown, and $10G
even has been placed that Harvard
will score first. Brickley is an even
money favorite to kick the first goal

ings Of 21a to 1 that the University of
pennsylvania will beat Cornell.
