O'Leary's calibre are needed badly now

which fact gave the preference in the
all important Yale game. The line Will
be a great problem for the hrst month
or so. However. the Haughton system
can he depended upon to produce a team
that will compare favorably with tine
Crimson elevens OF the last few years
which were in a separate and distinct
class by themselves.
Yale Is in a position much the same
as that OF Pennsylvania. as 1t has not
had A winner since Ted Coy's champion
ship team in 1909. This year the ELS
have prevailed upon Hefelfnger, the
famous guard OF the early eOs and fale
idol to return and assist Htnckey 10
put the Bulldog back into the champion
ship running. Such a combination GER
tainly should be successful.
The Yale freshman team last year
was wonderful and the way II moved
down the Princeton and Harvard fresh
men spells no hope this year Tor the
last two ramed.
In Legore Yale has the most re-
sourceful fullback in the country tie

forward pass like a baseball. He was
! primarily responsible for the fine open
playing that was developed at New
Haven last fall. This play alone won
the Princeton game and moved down
Iehigh. Notre Dame. Colgate ana
Brown. The Harvard and W.. and j.
eIevens were the only ones to cope sue
cessfully with the open attack and their
success was due to the fact that they
thought about nothing all season but 20
develop a defence to break II up.
Hinckey no doubt will develop the open
game further this year. and II he makes
the strides that were made last fall he
will revolutionlze the game. Yale has
a very bright outlook and the best
chance since 1909 to dethrone the cham
pion. Harvard.
Princeton has abolished the idea Of
having n lot OF old men coming back
and assuming charge OF football before
the big games with Yale and Harvard.
This plan has not been a success In
fact. II has proved detrimental rather
than aiding the cause.
Speedy Rush should be the man of
the hour at Princeton. Will he lacks ex-
perience in coaching large college teams
he, on the other hand, has had more eN-
p~erience handling prep school boys than
any other men wit the exception OF Al
sharpe of Cornell and Iuppke. present
coach at Illinois. Who made such a won
derful record last year. The records of
the two men last named have ~disproved
the theory that a prep school coach
could not handle a large college team
successfully. Rush has developed some
of the games best players. the most
notable being S~prackling of Brown and
Capt. Barrett of Cornell.
The spring practice AT Tigertown was
the best that Princeton ever held. This
work gave Rush an opportunity to study
his material and he IL therefore aware
OF what may be expected from the men,
Rush is n keen student OF the game and
a strong believer OF open football.
Princeton In going To he heard from this
fall.
Cornell will retain practically the
same squad that beat Penn and Michi-
gan. and with DR.. Al Sharpe still In
charge the big red team will be hard
to beat.
Columbia has taken up the game
again. and this is an excellent boost
for the sport. New York, our largest
city. has been without big football since
1905, and the return of the game TO the
metropolis after n layoff OF ten years
will mean greater interest than ever.
Glen Warner will take charge Of foot
ball at Pittsburg this season. Pop prob

resourceful coach In the East. His sue
cess at Carlisle was phenomenal as a
strategist he Is probably the Game's
greatest exponent. Pitsburg is to he
congratulated on obtaining his services.
and with the good material to be found
there, Warner should have no difficulty
in living up to his reputation.
Penn State will start tho season with
almost a veteran team. The only men
lost by graduation were Captain Tohln
and Big Zeb Lamb. The vacancy left
by the former will he filled by Berry
