YALE WON'T HAVE ONE MAN SYSTEM
 ln FOOTBALL NOW

New Haven. Nov. 1.-The failure of the Yale football team so far this season and the recall of many old g1-idiron stars under the leadership of Tom Shev1in to take charge of the Blue team is believed by many Yale men to mark a permanent return to the old d/style of the coaching which was in vogue here during the many years of the Blues success on the football field.
 It is now believed to be. doubtful if Yale WilL ever give the 'tohe man. coaching system another trial despite the success which this method has met with at other universities. The reor- ganization of the coaching system af- ter the Colgate game put the team in to the hands of an advisory board, as it was in the good old days when Wal ter Camp was the moving figure in Yale football affairs.
 The return of a number of old stars to aid in the coaching is believed by Yale men to put spirit into the Blue teams which can never be obtained by the more systematic, but less TO- mantle method of making one man the ezar Traditional opposition to the, tone man. system is believed to have had much to do with Frank link ey's failure.
 For many years it was the custom to. name the previous years captain head coach, to work under the advis- ory board. Except for the fact that Frank Hinkey is still officially head coach, the present organization of the coaching is now practically the same.
 Now that the fire has cooled down people are beginning to realize that Frank Hinkey is. at most, only partial ly to blame for the unfortunate re suits of the past two seasons. Be cause a one man coaching system has succeeded at Harvard it is no guar antee that it could turn out as gooj results at Yale.
 Experience has also demonstrated that an advisory board of coaches can control Yale football more efficiently than one man. The fundamental tror ble lies in the inability of Yale foot ball men. to adapt themselves to a. re- gine which they are not te enperamen- tally fitted to accept. The successful teams of the past have all been born and brad under another coaching sys- tenn, and although it has revealed many imperfections, it goes against the grain of the Ya1ensians to surren- der a system which has stood the test of time successfully for a new and untried one. VT
 In pointing out this error Hinkey has been forced to undergo much cheap criticism. He deserves to be into the difficult task of raising Yale football to the high standard it for merly occupied.

WILL STAND PAT
 ON YALE LINEUP FOR GAME SATURDAY

New Haven. Nov. 11-Ya1e's lineup against Princeton Saturday has been tentatively decided upon by the coach ing directorate which is running foot ball affairs until the curtain drops on the present season. They have agreed that. the teams makeup against Brown last Saturday can be improved upon very little. They believe that one of the greatest drawback to the development of the eleven this season has been the necessity for frequent changes. 7 No less tpan three and sometimes five or six have been made with every successive game, a condi- ton which has been almost demoraliz- ing.
 Left end, Church. left tackle, Gates; left guard, Black; center, White, right guard, Jim Sheldon: right tackle, Way; right end, Wiedeman; quarter back, Van Nostrand; left half back, Bingham; right half back, Wilson; full back, Guernsey.
 The only position on which the coaches are divided in filling next Saturday is left end. Jim Higgin- botham, who was called the best end rush of the squad last season until he was severely injured, is favored by some coaches The showing of .'Buck" Church, however. against Brown has probably won him first se- lection for the Tiger bout.

DENY YOST WILL LEAVE MICHIGAN
 TO COACH AT YALE

Ann Arbor, Nov. 1.-The Michigan campus is aroused over reports re- ceived here from the east to the eff feet that Yale athletic authorities are attempting to sign Coach Yost for the 1916 football season.
 Athletic Director Barte1ne stated that Yost would not leave Michigan next year. but the Wolverine coach would make no statement in regard to the matter.
 Despite the, disastrous year on the gridiron this fall, the Michigan stu dent body stands back of lost to. a man, and the utmost dismay prevails here over the prospect of the loss of the man who has done more for foot ball. at Michigan. than any other per son. For IS years Yost has turned out winning teams at the Ann Arbor institution, and this is the first year he has failed to sYin at least one of his big games.
 | According to Director Bartelme, lost has agreed to give the local ath- 1etic association notice of his intention to leave at least 30 days before the end of the season previous to his de- parture, and as no such notice has been given, the authorities here ex- pecty him to return next fall.

LuRICH DEFEATS
 WRESTLER LOSS9N

New York. Nov. 11-George Lurich, the specta acular Russian gynnast, had the honor of winning the first finish contest of the International wrestling tournament at the Manhattan Opera. House last night. The victim was the seven-foot English Hercules, Charles Losson.
 Lurich is nothing if not theatrical, and he accomplished the. downfall of the huge Briton with the sensational windmill swing. Getting a firm waist hold on the giant, Lurich began, to pivot and slowly but surely lifted the great hulk of his opponent from the floor. E
 Faster and faster, the determined Russian circ1ed, till the massive Briton was in the air, when Lurich dropped him with a, crash, and falling on him pinned his shoulders.
 Charley Cutler of Chicago, won a fall in the quickest time of this tour nament, or the preceding one. He downed Hans Asam, the Bavarian, in 43 seconds. getting a far and Chan cery lock before the victim had a chance to get warmed up.

FRANK HAS FIGHTING
CHANCE FOR HIS LIFE

Milledgeville, Ca, July 19.-Leo M.
Frank lies in the Georgia state prison
hospital with what is said was fight
ing chance for recovery. Physicians
succeeded in stopping the flow of
blood from a jagged wound in his
throat made with butcher knife in
the hands of William Green, fellow
convict also serving life term for
murder. The blow was struck as
Frank slept in his bunk in dormi-
tory late Saturday night.
An investigation of the attack prob
ably will be conducted by the Georgia
prison commission, the same body
that refused to recommend that
Franks death sentence for the muir
der of Mary Phagan be committed to
life Imprisonment.
Reports from Atlanta were that
Governor Harris intimated he would
start such an investigation to ascer-
tain if Green acted entirely of his own
volition.
Green said, when taken from soil
tary confinement long enough to be
questioned, that he planned the at
tack alone and that no one knew what
he intended to do. He was not CON-
municative and gave as his only ex-
cuse that che thought it should be
DONE" He said, however, that he re-
GREETED his act.
