There will. he teams 10 be sold, the

on such a sound footing that 1t will
never break up again.

Yale Committee Not
Yet Agreed On Coach

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.-That selection
of the Yale football coach which is
keeping Yale men and others interested
has not yet been made. There was no
meeting OF the committee composed OF
Vance C. Mccormick, $. Brinckernolf
Thorne, and John r. Fitzpatrick at the
Yeie Club last night, although 1t was
announced that there would be one. A
member Of the committee when ques-
toned about this meeting said that Tie
first he knew of 1t was when he read
about it,
EIe stated further that the committee
had been meeting at irregular intervals
in the last month, sometimes at the
Yale Club and other times elsewhere,
but that there was so much to discuss
in reference to the replacing of Frank
Hinkey as coach OF the eleven that no
decision had been reached. He also said
that the committee would meet within
the next couple of weeks, and that IL
was more than likely that at the next
meeting the new coach would be named.
Among the probabilities discussed
were Foster Sanford, the present Rut-
gers coach; T. A. D. Jones, now coach
ing at Phillips Exeter Academy; Dr.
A. H. Sharpe. Cornell mentor, and ]. F..
Owsley, who has helped AZ Yale and
Annapolis In the past.

declined with regrets the challenge
from the University of Chicago for a

the Vanderbilt management agreeing
to shift the game with virginia to Oc-
tober 2S to avoid a conflict with Har-
ward. which will meet the Orange and

There has been much discussion at
the Easton institution over extending

il impossible for any man to engage In

sense of the discussion has been. how
ever, Lafayette is not vet ready for this

students coming from other colleges.
This rule forms part Of a new code

entire relation OF faculty and athletics.
