Wesleyan, on the other hand, has
but one difficult game in the early
part Of her schedule, this being with
Washington and Lee. Waynesburg
is followed by Bethany and Catholic

theory that ''hard work don't hurt

YALE PLAYERS
Continue to Hold Their Popu-
larity as Coaches in Many
Schools and Colleges.

Former Yale football players con-
tinue to hold their popularity as
coaches Notwithstanding that the
Blue gridiron star has failed to shine
with its usual brilliancy during the
past few seasonss. A canvass Of the
leading colleges and schools of the
country has demonstrated that
the New Haven university has more
former players acting in coaching
capacities than any one other COL
lege or university famous in football
annals.
Among the other eastern institu-
lions Princeton, Dartmouth, Pennsyl-
vania, Lafayette and Syracuse are all
well represented in the coaching field.
In sharp contrast is the fact that
Harvard and Cornell players do not
apparently devote much time to
coaching after graduation. In the
west Chicago and Michigan lead in
this respect although there is fair
sprinkling of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Notre Dame and Illinois alumni on
the list.
