which the new group of Yale coaches
has preached from the first has beer
that d team can acquire success only
by constant familiarity with them ard
with each other. For this reason they
will stand pat on the Yale HneuI

sence of Carl Wiedeman, which nov
seems unavoidable because of the in

from the game on Saturday, leaving
his position to Jim Higginbotham. who
will be given the same assignment il
