Furthermore, Peck mastered the de- tail of his position. center rush and because of the fact that this place gave him some latitude in his defen- sive play, he was always in the thick of the fray, analysing and diagnosing plays with the keenness and skill which comes only to those who love the game. He should make a splen- did coach at Culver and is of the right temperament to handle such an i'm portant position.
 By these means the strategy and technique of college sport is spread. No coach has a sinecure in plays and training Whatever be the result of his plans they become the property of others within year or two. Haugh- toms successful system which placed Harvard in the front. is known to a dozen colleges because Harvard men have carried it about in their teach ing After all. success is not due to system of play. but to the ability of coaches to select the right system to apply to the material at hand as well as to pick leaders. Warner had the material to beat the world,' was common saying in the East last fall. But Warner went one better by plan ming a system to fit the men and in being able to place men in the right positions. Peck formerly a back, was moved to center where he could best display those qualities of leadership which had much to do with the phe- nomena1 success of the Pittsburg eleven.

VALE AWAITS FOR DECISION.
From Harvard Authorities Relative to
 Ball Game Suggested.

Hzrvard's athletic authorities have not yet acted upon the suggestion from Yale that teams representing the Crimson and Blue play series of at least two games later in the spring. While Fred W. Moore declines tc forecast any possible decision. it is not regarded as unlikely that if enough players can be found to insure a fairly representative team the Yale suggestion will be met. If one game or series of games is arranged it is hardly likely rules of scholastic and one-year residence eligibility will be followed. the tendency being to adjust conditions to the present situation, which to say the least. is hardly nor nal In other words. membership of the teams would follow the lines of rather comprehensive adjustment.
 Harvard writer playfulIy suggests that, in accordance with situations es laid down for the Reserve Officers Training Corps, an age limit of twenty years and nine months be applied to the hines MT Moore says that if the games are played there is the pos s1b1lity that participants will be re- stricted to those who are members of the training corps at the two univer- sities. and that in any event players VIII not receive varsity letters
 Capt Abbot, of the nine, is anxious Tor the series to be played and thkaxs that a strong nine could be formed rom among the undergradu body Harvard at present has not been able to install her proposed system of games within the college walls and neither has PrincetOn--a scrub team or that university, however, having played two preparatory school teams but Yale and Dartmouth appear to have made marked progress in deveI- op1nS fntro-mural athletic activities A series among the various companies of the Dartmouth Regiment is now going forward. and the games are characterized by great interest on the part both of the participants and the studsnt body.

By SOL METzGER Coach Washington & Jefferson Foot ball Team.
 Two years ago Andover Academy in- stalled five targets in the basement of one of it's buildings and these ranges have since been in constant use dur ing the free hours of the school Even before war was declared some four hundred boys were taking part in mi1i- tary training in place of the required gymnasium work and the members of the athletic teams participated in this, though allowed at that time to also continue with their special athletic training. At the present time military training is foremost. It is interesting to note two things in this connection! One is that very few of the boys at Andover-notably the younger ones are prevented from taking part in the military drill which now has full sway, on account of the objection of parents. The other is. that Andover is so far as rifle shooting alone is con- cerned, anticipated the general war preparatory movement in schools and colleges by considerable time.
 Tn this war we deal in terms of tens and hundreds of thousands of men. Necessarily the individual is lost sight of. Courage, heroism and patritic acts are the rule and not the exception. We Americans have rarely lad it brought home to us. But when Johnny Poe, the old Princeton athlete fell upon the fields of FIand- CTS there was that about his death which made us feel toward him as we have always felt toward Nathan Hale, the Revolutionary martyr, who like Poe was college athlete in his day
 For the above reasons the accounts about Poe have been all too meagre and the story of his enlistment which was recently brought to Baltimore Poe's home-by a Johns Hopkins sur l. II n who went to England with a Canadian regiment, wanted to join the Black Watch, that famous Scotch regiment which has followed the Union Jack vices at time when the English gov ernment was objecting to other than its own subjects enlisting- Poe brought much influence to bear and at cer, who had been advised to wink at the facts. Poe was asked his place of birth.
 Baltimore" he replied.
 Poe" said the officer, there Is a long hall outside this room. You go out there. walk up and down it for long time, think hard and then return and answer my question.
 Poe followed these instructions and upon reappearing was again asked his place of birth.
 Dover he replied
 Thus Johnny Poe. Princeton's athlete and soldier, entered the Black Watch joining it's long list of heroes at the Battle of Loos. September 25, 1915, true to the end to It's patriotic tradi- tions, for as he fell has said, Never mind me. Go ahead with our boxes"
