If there ever was a committee the views of which are more divergent than those of the members of the com mittee~which Is to assist Capta Hen ry H. Ketcham in the selection of g football coach for the Yale football eleven for nxet year. it would be hard to find it. There certainly has not been one in the history of Yale ath- letics, and this is in all likelihood the
 reason why Captain Ketcham named the men he did. The different beliefs to put it mildly. are all represented and the committee has decided that all shall abide by the ultimate decision reached by its members and announc- ed by Captain Ketcham.
 There are five members of the com
 mittee four of whom are out and out
 in favor of four different men for head
 coach of the eleven, and one of them.
 expressed, but believed to have a leaning toward Howard Jones. The other members of the committee are Walter Camp of the class of 1880, Tax Con1missi0her William Fl Corbln
 of Hartford of the class of 1889, L. H. Bigelow. third of the class of 1908, and John ". Field of the class of 191L The men, except Field. were varsity captains.
 will meet to select the man, though the announcement of the choice for several reasons may be withheld for weeks. Persons in close touch with Yale athletics say that the man who IS to be head coach will be decided upon by the one member of this committee who has the greatest influence with the captain. The committee is only advisory and the captain will make his own choice.
 Pa corbin Favors Williams.
 If this scheme could be worked out there is no doubt 1t would be a good one, for the man who has the greatest influence with Captain Ketcham, prfn- cipally because he seeks in no way to use 1t, is William H. Corbin, whose choice for head coach is Harry Will Hams, coach of Minnesota Harry Williams has been coach of Minnesota for many years, ever since he left Penn Charter school He is a mem the only possible thing which would bring him back to New Haven is that he is one of the most loyal Yale men who ever lived. It is without any question that preliminary negotiations have been opened with Dr. Williams in the forlorn hope that his patriotism will be a sufficient magnet to bring him back Dr. Williams planned the tackles back and several other plays and is one of the greatest football generals that the game has produced. The success of Minnesota fs a tribute to his work. In addition to his large salary there he has built up large medical practice and teaches medf- cine. so that 1t would be extremely hard to get him to New Haven. But Mir. Corbir1 is openly in favor of him. and if the proposition was an abso- u1tely hopeless one he would be sure to drop 1t
 Camp for Hinkey.
 The choice of Walter Camp is as well known as is the choice of MT Corbin. MT Camp can see nothing to it but Frank Hinkey, the great end is now living in Illinois, and available as head coach is the. right terms can be reached. As an in dividuaI coach he is without a supe- -ior, but in some sources of power close to Ketcham it is felt that a better man for an organizer and to work out the plans can be secured. The whole Camp inf1u ence, the most powerful in Yale athletics, will be thrown to getting Hinkey here, Tom Shevffn, who is more of a power in football now than he was even when he was captain, leans to Harry Will iams or Heffelhnger. In times past he and Hinkey have worked together we'll

 Coming down to recent graduates who are members of the committee, B1gelow is in favor of Foster Sanford, who has coached Yale from time to time and who coached the only Co., umbia team that ever beat Yale. Btge-
