Vale Has Confidence.

Happily, this feeling is unshared by the large majority of Yale men, and the enthusiasm for his work which fol- lowed fales win over Princeton was by no means lessened because of Sat- Nrday's disastrous. although not inglo- r1ous defeat by Harvard.
 The Haughton school of football is seven years old, and from the second to the fifth of those seven years it has been proven a glorious school In its conduct although it may not be so ad- n1itted, the men from whom the Har- ward teams have heen selected have been known before they have entered the Cambridge university. Once in the Freshman class they have come under the tutelage of men who are i,; hearty accord with the views of Coach Haugh- ton and who drill their charges in the Haughton fashion
 As the result, in their second year they become candidates for varsft po- sitions. with a full year of tra un- der the system used by Hal-, head coach. They have already 5ea well grounded in the rudiments of the game and in the course of their ssceceding years in the varsity squad al that f necessary to perfect is their work. in E together with other men that t.ey 1l together with other men than tnzy .-fd while freshmen in the plays which go to make up the varsity's attack and de. fence.
 Hinkey School New.
 The Hinkey school of football was established this fall Previously there had been conflicting ideas of football play instilled in the minds of the teams of each year and in the teams of the entering classes. As a result, previous coaches have had to back to the very beginnings of football each year to eliminate these conflicting ideas and start the team working up the playing system which the then coach Believes is the best. Little thought of grooming the freshmen teams for the varsity has been given. When Hinkey came to take the po- sition of head coach, the veterans who
 made up, his squad had already been taught two systems of. football and because Hinkey's ideas of the game conhicted with those of former coaches these men were forced to start all over again. So 1t was with the former freshmen footballers who presented themselves as varsity candidates. Be- cause of these conflicting systems the work of coaching has been difficult and the learning of the men delayed.
 This latter fact perhaps showed most plainly in comparing the work of the
 Yale varsity and Yale freshman teams. The latter had not been confused with former conflicting coaching systems. and caught on to the Hinlzey ideas
 much more rapidly than did the var sity and proved themselves a better
 finished team with but an equal length of service under the same system.
 Look Out For Next Year. Look out for next year." is an expression that many times has come from close followers of the game since Yale's defeat by Harvard; and with all it's candidates having spent a year un- | der Hinkey this prediction is we'll worthy of consideration.
 Yale may not win in 1915, as liar ward failed to in Haughton's second year, but by 1915 Yale will have a fairly we'll established football school with crowd of ' youngsters being EToomed for the following season, and l this system is bound to tell.
 Whether or not Yale will resort as much to the passing game in the fu- Yale team showed its possibilities when no studied defence had been formu- lated against it. Unfortunately for
 the Blue, however, the play was given away in time for many of it's oppon- @n9e to work up such a defence. As tl1e EniwarlS cflan attack it was proven insufficient but as surprise play it's l possibilities are limitiess. and to FraNk Hintey beicngs much of the credit i Of developing this wonderfully inter- esting and spectacular phase of foot Those who claim familiarity with yzle.s future plans ere looking for a resumption of old-feshioned football as ths he6is of its attack. With many of !ffs regulars promising to report, to- gef91nF with its remarkable freshman 1 team of this faiI, Yale should have a corps Of candidates which should make gsich plan successful.
 | At New Haven nothing is to be heard \ in criticism ef Hinizey. He is recog- niTedfy good coach. and the expression Hook out for Yale next year" may cause considerable apprehension on the part of certain other football mentors. The French rnora<oriuns will be con- ltinued until the first of next year.
