NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. IA
though Yale's football policy for mex,
season will not be mapped out until
general conference of former players il
held during the Christmas vacation,
canvass of the members of the 1919
team has been made and it has been
learned that more will return to the
university another season than was ex-
pected. Only Carter Gait, Parker Allen
Joe Neville and jim Braden will be
graduated next June Of the twenty

against Princeton and Harvard

will form a stiff backbone for the eley-

and Thorne Murphy now expect to re-
turn. Two or three of these player.
are members of the Sheffield Scientific
School, which is just extending its
their intention of taking the Longer
course in that department. Like the
last fall, Yale will have wealth OF
material for every position on the team.
Captain Callahan is eager to devise
a coaching system which will avoid
some of the mistakes of 1919, but no
radical change will be made. 1t is un-
true that he plans to go to Seattle dur
ing the holidays to interview Tad Jones.
but some changes in the resident coach
ing staff are likely. One which will be
made is the appointment of a resident
quarterback coach. The staff this fall
included no quarterback mentor, and
the unfinished play of kempton, Roche
and Jim Neville is regarded as largely
due to this cause.
Plan Stronger Schedule
The Blue will arrange a stronger
schedule for 1920 than was played the
last fall although the listing of only
minor college elevens was by no means
part of the Eli policy. Yale was late
in arranging its football plans, and
Manager lotion He.felfnger found
that, wherever he turned he was un-
able to book prominent and strong OPP
ponents.
Yale was keenly disappointed in not
being able TO arrange a match with

BILE, but through some m.sunderstand
ing Colgate filled its schedule before
the local eleven could be accommo dated
The Ellis hope to book that team next
season.
Yale is hopeful of securing the con

match with West Point in the bowl
The Blue does not intend to go UP
the Hudson for the game, as the &C
commodations for such a match are
Secretary Daniels has given consent

ton has led Yale and the army to
hope that the War Department viii
permit the proposed match to be played
here next October.
Yale hopes to induce more New Eng
land colleges to arrange games. They
have declined for several years TO
meet the Ellis, but the announcement
next season has led Yale to hope that
q game can be arranged with tina
team.
Favor-Double-H Headers
The plan suggested by Graduate
Manager Fred Moore. OF Harvard. o.
meeting two minor college rivals IN
double header has been warmly ap-
proved here.
One possible adaptation of such Il
program is regarded as game between
Yale and its two Connecticut sste1
colleges. Trinity and Wesleyan. BIZ
have refused to meet Yale. saying thai
matches with the Ellis through fou,
periods have proved too strenuous and
have resulted in their light tealns being
exhausted for two or three weeks. It
is believed that Yale could meet these
two colleges in double-h Of the
proposed nature.
Yale football officials believe that the
season of 1920 Will prove a record
breaker in interests'and that Harvard
and West Point will fiji the bowl and
that Colgate will draw a crowd Of per
haps $4,000 people while Brown will
attract perhaps 80 000
1t is unlikely that Yale will change
its policy of keeping the admission fee
as close TO popular prices as possible.
