to overlook, is the fact that Harvard from 1883 to 1908 was a different proposition than Harvard from then on. Yale's poor showing against Har- yard in those last eight years is due more to the fact that Harvard football has improved under Haughton about 100 per cent. than to the fact that Yale football is not what it used to be. The trouble is Yale football is just about the same as it used to be and as such Yale is not able to romu away with its early season games and the final Harvard game because those teams play infinitely better football than the teams Yale used to meet years ago. The new game is partly responsible for this; also better coach ing. Were is possible to match one of those earlier Yale elevens-one that easily defeated Harvard in its day against a Haughton product we wou~a be much interested in seeing just how badly the former would be beaten. They had in those days just what we had today-good material and great spirit. Against Harvard, Haughton- ized, it is not a question of material: it is not a question of spirit. 1t is a question of coaching. The 1915 season is striking proof of that. The spirit that won for Yale against Princeton a week ago was about as effective in stopping Haughton's marvellously drilled eleven as wisp of smoke. The men fought with as much spirit as they did against Princeton, but they were met with a spirit plus efficiency, and the result was 41 to o.
 "Our word to graduates if they want to be of service to Yale foot ball, is that once and for all they rid their minds of the idea that Yale spirit and good material are thingt of the past, and that they help us in finding a man or building up a system which can out-Haughton Haughton. Now is the time to do it. And unless we can do it now Haughton will con tinue to beat us every year we send an eleven against him"

CHANCE IN COACH
 WHAT YALE WANTS
Undergraduates Want Man Like
 Raughton

New Haven. Nov. 23.-Yale grad uates who have contended for some time that Yale must make a decided change in the management of her ath- letics, especially her football. are dis cussinS the stand taken yesterday by the undergraduates through their of- fcial organ, the Yale News. Yale must find a man to take charge of athletic affairs that will out-Haughton Haugh- ton is the demand heard on every side.
 The attitude assumed by the under graduates is tiattering in the extreme to Harvard's head coach and places the credit of the victory of the Cam bridge college on Saturday at Haugh- tons door. The selection of a man like Haughton to be head coach at Yale means that future Yale football captains will be shorn of some of their power and that in the event of such a step being taken graduate advice will be more often followed in de-
 veloping teams than it has been in the past. Former football players of Yale. especially those who played on the Yale gridiron when Yale had things pretty much her own way, have insisted all season that it was not so much that Yale lacked players as ef- ficiency plus the old time spirit that made teams in former days fight and win against powerful odds. It was pointed out by these same men in dis cussing the situation yesterday that the victory over Princeton was re- suit of a resumption, near the close of the season, of that old Yale fighting spirit that was injected into the team at the eleventh hour.
 There is no denying the facts that Yales showing in football has been poorer and poorer for the last few years, always excepting of course an occasional spurt, and that there has been more and more dissatisfaction among graduates and undergraduates and among those most closely allied ! with the team itself, This does not mean that Yale has not had good football coaches nor that Yale has not had good football captains, but the conditions have been all wrong, as they were at Cambridge during the

 bear in mind that this is the ono game of the year that the Navy points to, and the same applies to the Army. Wherever the responsi- bility lies, the Naval academy team this year has not played real foot
 ball, nor are. the conditions such as to expect that the team will suddenly come to life and play a wonderful game against their rivals, a hope to which some of the Navy people still
 cling. This may happen to a team which has good deal to wake up, in many cases it has happened to a

days when Harvard was trying to get along with different men suggesting different remedies and each succeed ing captain insisting on carrying out his ideas.
 The result of all the talk will be that a committee will be appointed to look over the field and if possible find a man with some of thesold time Yale spirit in his makeup who also has kept up with the times. If such man be round he will be put in charge and will assume the reins of authority. Here tofore a head coach at Yale hasn't had either the power or the backing to say what should be done and how. That condition of affairs has not been in evidence at Harvard since Haughton demonstrated to the satisfaction of the officials that he was the man for the place. It's up to Yale now to lind some Yale man who will measure up to his specifications and then give him chance.
 The comment of the Yale News on Haughton and the call to Yale grad uates to follow the example of liar yard and get another Haughton for Yale is in part as follows: One of the beauties of a post -mortem review a that it affords for calm and dispas- sionate reflection. Our reflection since Saturday leads us first of all to con graduate Capt. Mahan and his team. They played a magnificent game from start to finish. On their toes every minute, quick to take advantage of every mistake that their opponents made, fierce on the defensive, baffling i and powerful on the offensive, they deserve all the credit that has been 1 and will continue to be showered i upon them.
 But reflection has also led us to | attempt to answer that question which all losers invariably ask themselves, How did it happen?' Our answer is
 the answer that has been featured in
 the headlines of every newspaper ac-
 count of the game-the efficiency of
 Haughton.
 "Yale has now played against eight
 Haughton football teams. Against
 those eight teams Yale has scored just
 13 points-three field goals and two
 safeties. On the other hand, those
 eight teams have scored 11S points against Yale. This is a significant rec ord; but it is the more significant when one considers that in the twenty five years which preceded Harvard won only three games to Yale's six teen, and scored in all only 65 points to Yale's 270.
 "The conclusions which one must inevitably draw from these past rec ords are obvious. One of the most important however, and one which Yale graduates in particular are apt
