New Haven Coaches Are

FoLWELL MAKES GOOD
~ ROBERT, W. MAXWELL

:. rever rains at New Haven.
.ea, thrilling experiences with Virginia
washington and Jefferson Yale faces
O,easant prospect Of entertaining Col
..,s IN the bout next Saturday afternoon.
~ che coaches are as cheerful as a
- ~ gentlemen working on the roads
-. hall and chain attached to their
Colgate hasn't much of team. II
I'm walloped West Point, and last SAT-
..s.v ran up 107 points on Rensselaer, be-
uss Il was a practice game. The play
M now know the proper direction to the
,o,i line and intend to use this knowl-
saee in the Eli matinee. .....
rrha princeton and Harvard games are
\ ,ot worrying the Yale coaches. These
sontests are a couple of weeks away, and
s,her teams must be met In the interim.
ls,er the Colgate struggle comes Brown,
.ra then the other games will receive
4 ..rsous consideration. All Yale wants to
/ = now is to win these practice" contests,
4 "a ulnkey and his staff of assistants are
l snrnInr the midnight oil to dope out
/ romething new.
Yale is ready to admit that he. entire
,,asoi thus far has been an utter failure
1 Il everv sense. The line still Is weak,
/ whole team has been compared with a
erarnrnar school eleven in so far as foot
hau sense" is concerned These are
\ harsh words, but the performances of the
/ glue show that nothing short OF mir
\ scle can give Yale even a fairly good
\ team to battle with the speedy Tiger and
I Harvard.
Harvard, too, is not resting easily
l after the upset-if you can call it an
4 &upset-admnistered by Cornell The de-
feat Il blamed on the failure of the Grim
l son players to follow the ball. They fol-
\ lowed the pigskin all right, but n Cor
j nell man generally was in front and
reached the goal line first. Still Haugh-
ton does not feel discouraged over the
mss of the game, for he once coached
Cornell and knows how the Ithacans feel
about It.
! Next Saturday Harvard plays Penn
/ state and a strenuous afternoon is in
prospect for Captain Mahan and his
4 brave warriors. Mr.. Bergman. Mr.. Hig-
rns Mr.. Ewing and Captain Lamb will
sppear in the arena with seven other
/ husky gentlemen, and a supreme effort
Will be made to put another blot on
& the already soiled escutcheon at Cam
bridge Penn State, under the new
eoaching system, which is headed by
Dick Harlow and his assistant Larry
/ Whitney, has more than made good this
/ year, and Harvard will have her hands
i full before the final chapter is ended.
Princeton will have an off day Satur-
day but Just to keep the team and sub
4 nitutes in shape, Williams will be wall
+ loped in the stadium some. time during
/ the afternoon Speedy Rush has a bad
habit of over-estimating the strength of
the Tigers opponents, and probably will
4 work his men hard for the contest The
1 new coach Is taking no chances this year.
] and Rutgers, Dartmouth and several
other teams are ready to admit that Mr..
Rush plays no favorites.
Williams was nosed out by Princeton
( h the last minutes of the game last |
year, when a tumble gave the Tigers a
/ tpuchdown which tied the score. 1t is |
+ not believed that fumbles will be neces-
I nry next Saturday.
! Foster Sanford was among us last week |
and Witnessed the Penn-Pitt game. He |
made the journey from New Brunswick. |
I on the banks of the old Raritan. to con-
verse with Glenn Warner regarding a |
zane between Pitt and Rutgers in New |
York on November 20. II would have |
BEEN great thing to stage the battle, |
rom Rutgers standpoint but Warner |
Hipsed TO even consider 1t. and the Pitts |
lugh Athletic Committee backed him up,
Sandy Is a great little booster for his |
tam, and is willing to take a chance with |
ny OF the well-known elevens But Pitt |
hd everything to lose and nothing to |
iain.
Il Il is believed that Penn missed beating
fRlsourgh by only six inches Saturday. |
u the second period, before Pitt scored, |
Vuigley tried a goal from placement from |
4 fnll
1ne ball missed the uprights by only half
loot Had Penn scored at this time II Is
enhkely that Pitt would have pushed the /
&at touchdown across the goal line In |
uas session. and Penn would have ap-
pared In the second half with three |
pants 70 her credit A. team generally /
Pays better when 1t Is in the lead, and
III would have had rough shedding in the
~ two periods.
