Tho football situation up 70 to-day
has been that the team has lost conf
dence AMI lacks knowledge of o.cmau-
tary football. This has been due in a
large part to tho fact that experienced
and older men who have PLAYED on for
mcr championship teams have not been
assisting in the coaching. They have
been now called hack. both by Coach
Hlnkey and myself. They vHl take
chalge OF tho team. In effect the chang"
Is "A return 10 tho old Yale method Of
a board of COACHES taking the respon-
sibility for the team, instead OF any
single coach. Mr.. Hinkcy viii DC on"
