tion Of passive coach at the University
Of California and II headed this way.

Mahan had a sorry experience at Cali
fornia, where he was n Of four MEM
bers Of q $4,000 coaching stan that
filled TO produce the goods. No part OF
the blame can be laid to Mahan. for af-
~ the hrst week he just looked on.

coach the backs and act rs nrst deputy.
However. II was not long before there

Just how good a coach . Ii re-
mains to be seen. but az q magnet Tor

valuable asset for Columbia or any other
college. He knows q tremendous lot OF
football n there Is no rsason why ne

Charley Brickley has tust completed
htA second season Of coaching since he
left Harvard, and on the whole he has
been successful. This yea he coached
Boston College. which last Saturday

years. Fitzpatrick. WHOM Brickley de-
veloped into q great drop kicker. was the
winning factor. for his drop klckinc rave

Yale 20 Change Schedule.
That Yale will have a much iiEi.cr
schedule next season Is a certainty. Col
gate md LehiRh are pretty sure Of being
dropped and Washington and Jefferson
may also get the gate. They are too
strong for ''the ever DEVELOPMENT OF the
Yale eleven" However. before II drops

range for new ones. The weak teams

would not accept. II remains for the

loom up a. powerful as those to be elim-
mated
Pennsylvania and Chicago are being
mentioned as possible opponents. The
Quakers last met the Blue in 1898. and
Yale won by IL to 6. The last contest
played In 1899. when Wisconsin n Pat
O'Dea were barely beaten.
Colgate In beginning to feel the PEN
atty OF success. Apparently It behooves
. little college to know Its position and
continue acting as a doo- mat for major
eievens. Last years victory at West
Point resulted in the dropping Of Colgate
by the Army. A terrific battle. In which
Yale barely averted defeat with a stand
OF the I yard line this season. has made
Colgte persona non grata at New Haven.
