Tiger coaches hope they won't deserve
the scathing criticism Of a certain coach
who, on seeing the team work out last
fall, remarked:
THAT team is fine. splendid 1t will

The Princeton coaches have the right
idea in their efforts to develop initiative
and responsibility in their quarterbacks.
Any quarterback who can't think for him

There was an interesting incident in the
Pennsylvania-Navy game on Saturday
that escaped most of the spectators. but
which nightly pleased the men who love
to see captains exercise their own initia-
tive. Just after the second period began
the Quakers had the ball on the 15-yard

Captain Journeay himself took things
IN hand, sent Wray from the game and
called for Matthews to try for a goal
from field. The thing was nightly
pleasing to 7. T. Hare. chairman Of
the Football Committee, and a strong
opponent of side-line coaching In any
form. Now, II Journeay will continue to
exercise his initiative and select sub
stitutes in the same manner the coaches
might as well be sitting in the stands
for all the interference they can WELD.
About the only criticism the PennsyI-
Vania coaches have to offer of the work
OF Mike Dorizas. the Greek strong man.

he was always careful to say excuse
