YALE FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT
 EXPECTS BIG CROWDS.
Two Big Games Bid for Record Break
 ina ndances.

The Yale football management eX- poets record breaking attendances at both the Yale-Princeton match at Princeton and the Yale-Harvard game next month. Because of the new stadium at Princeton and the new bowl at Yale, every alumnus and un- dergraduate will be allowed four tickets this year. Within 24 hours after applications were sent out it be- came evident that the massive Yale bowl, the biggest football enclosure in the world, will be entirely inadequate to the task of seating the Yale and Harvard men who wish to see the climax of the gridiron season in the east. The present seating capacity of the bowl is 60,617 persons. Word has asking 24,000 seats, leaving only 36,00O for the Yale home crowd and for spec tators from all over the country. A Yale football official said last week that Yale cannot take care of its own crowd unless it has 50,000 seats, and it became known that a meeting of the committee of 21 would be held to consider the question of building about 5000 seats around the parapet of the fort-likc enclosure. The com mittee built the bowl and has charge of it. It is generally believed at Yale that this committee will decide to erect the stands and thus do the best that Yale is able to relieve a situation which, a, few weeks before the sched- uled game, had become acute.

Football has become a sporting proposition, based on scientific principles open to all, and the upsets in scores can be traced to this. The coach has spread these principles from coast to coast.
 Because of the coach many small colleges have defeated the two past masters of Eastern football-Yale and PennSylVania-and similar results have happened everywhere. And because of him teams lacking somewhat in ma terial have whipped those wealthy in the same.
 First to Study Principles.
 Such results, although we are slow to accustom ourselves to them, are but natural. The large universities de- Veloped football, therefore they were first to study it's principles. As the game grew in favor their graduates, IS coaches, Spread it's gospel through out the land even to the preparatory schools. Now, the small college is if nanctally able to secure competent coaches, and with them came the up sets which astonished the football world. There is no reason why the material for the small team should not equal that of the large one. In fact, the small college graduate is usually more loyal than the university alum- nus and will make a greater effort to have promising players enter his alma mater.
 Fielding H. Yost of Michigan, stated last year that the coach who had fifteen good men was in a position to whip any team, regardless of the size of the institution it played In short, that quality, and not quantity, counted.
 Coaching Staff.
 In this struggle between the large and small colleges for football supre- macy there is but one factor in favor of the first. and that is a coaching staff in place of the individual coach. The small college must hold to the one coach idea for financial reasons. While the former is preferable there have been sufficient victories won by the one coach plan to prove it's worth.
 In the staff of coaches idea the head coach must boss the job and see that his ideas are carried out by his as- sistants. He has little time for actual ly coaching players. His duty is to A1Aop IilO Oa1hPe1ASA1 III S-hNSIlS6 Ol 6dCD day and then see that each assistant carries out his ideas, watching their work so that it will fit in with the scheme of team play and development He is as foolish as the superintendent of a steel mill who gives his time to detail work if he devotes his after moons to individual instruction. Such a system of coaching must be scienti- ffcally managed. Yale and Pennsyl- vania failed because it was not
 This plan is theoretically superior to the individual coach scheme be- cause it more rapidly weeds out the culls from the material and thus per

HARVARD REACHES
 END OF ITS ROPES.
Football Fans Believe Crimson's Days As Perpetual Winner Are About Over.

In whatever circles sport lovers forgot the worlds series long enough to talk football last night the main topic of conversation was still the de- feat of Harvard by Tufts. It seems to be the opinion of a great many close students of the gridiron sport that the Crimson has come just about to the end of it's rope as a perpetual winner The mere fact that Percy Haughton's charges have lost one of solitary basis for the feeling. Those who think Harvard is due to taste some of the bitterness of defeat fully realize that Tufts has a team of no mean ability. Indeed, it is squad of seasoned football, men capable of giving any team in the country a hard battle
 Harvard, however. is not the liar yard which went along year after year, pulling one triumph on top of another. In the past few seasons Cornell alone has been able to stem the tide. There is no Mahan this year to lead the Crimson out of the darkness, no Brickley to boot Har- yard to victory, and the absence of men like Hardwick, Soucy, Gilman, Wallace, and others, has left the Crimson team which IS not giving Yale or Princeton any special worry
 The Crimson has enjoyed the feast now for many day, and, according to the law of averages. which is more or less an arbitrary thing. it will now have to make the best of famine. We do not mean by this that Harvard is

HARVARD'S HOPE IN
TRIMMING YALE
Crimson Machine Will Rely on For
 ward Pass.

Harvard has showed her hand. She has made clear one of the principal weapons which she will use to fight Yale on the gridiron this year. It is the forward pass. All this was most evident in the victory which Harvard gained over North Carolina Saturday by the score of 21 to 0. While the defeat. at the hands of Tufts had somewhat lowered the Crimson's stock, the coaches have not been idle, as the playing in the North Carolina game showed. It was 9 wholly rejuvenated eleven which faced North Carolina.
 Harvard's battle with Tufts taught the Crimson a lesson, and this was that the Crimson should get more practice in passing and should use that style of game with greater fre- quency. How far the Crimson profit ed by that lesson can be seen in the North Carolina game when Harvard had recourse to the forward pass at almost every opportunity. Harvard tried the forward pass on nine occa- sions.
 The forward passes worked by liar ward Saturday were directly responsi- ble for two of the touchdowns. The Crimson players worked the passes in a manner that looked pretty and val uable.
 In the game with Lehigh, Yale, the victors by the score of 12 to O, were weak on the forward pass, and the at tempts by Lehigh to work those plays worried the Blue more than any other play that Lehigh pulled off. Had Le- high studied the weakness of the Blue closer, it would have found that it lay in the passing style of game, but Le- high seemed unable to get the passes off cleanly. The long ones that the Lehigh team did work gave Yale much to think about, however.
 In the game with Lehigh Yale de- pended largely on the work of it's backfeld, notably Legore, who with Bingham came across with the two touchdowns. Yale's chief style of playing was a line smashing, line tear ing one, while Havards was the passing style.
 Consequently, Yale's next move will be to strengthen it's passing game and give it's backfield a comparative rest.
 Tufts Saturday plowed it's way through almost to the laurels again. The best Princeton coul ddo was a 3 to 0 victory. The Tufts team found the Tigers line almost inlpregnab1e, while the Tigers found the fast aerial plays of the Tufts combination a source of constant menace. Tufts seems destined to carve considerable of niche for itself in the hall of football fame this season.

UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test in Norwich. No Norwich resident who suffers backache, or annoying urinary ills can remain Unconvinced by this twice-to1d testimony.
 Mrs. John Wozniak, 23 Elm St., Nor wich, says: q suffered for three or four years from my kidneys and never found anything that would give me relief until I began using Doan's Kid ney Pills, procured from Sevin & Sons Drug Store. The first box removed the heavy, dull pain that had settled in my back and when I had finished the second box, I felt like a different woman. The action of my. kidneys be- came regular and the kidney disorders were corrected" Statement given July 22, 1911)
 On May IT, 1916 Mrs Wozniak said: 'T still have great faith in Doan's Kid ney Pills and am glad to again recom- mend such a good medicine. I use them off and on whenever my back feels bad and always get prompt re- lief"

their defense. He is open to as much praise or censure as a political leader, and in his profession there is more competition than in politics, because there are so many ether coaches and teams plotting his downfall Support CTS of a team demand victory even when it is not a logical conclusion be- cause of the material at his command, so it behooves a coach to be on the job day and night. The fact of the matter is he can't get away from it. His business is everybody's business and he is a much harassed and worn individual at the end of the season, whatever it's results. At that, there is abundant competition for the job.

due to have a season of total disaster. That, on the fact of things, would be a foolish statement to make, for it must be admitted that Harvard still has a good team, but not a star one.
 The Crimson has a coaching staff, headed by Haughton, which has proved beyond the shadow of doubt, that it can bring out whatever foot ball may be in the candidates for the team. But granting that Harvard has a good team does not help the situa- tion any at Cambridge, for the CO., horts of the Crimson have become so accustomed to running away with all their games that anything less than walkover will seem almost like a defeat.
