mo coming intercollegiate football
season will be a most interesting one
from many angles. Never before have
30 many changes been made among the
coaches as have been instituted for next
fall Few OF the big colleges have re-
tained their football drectors--some had
none to retain because Of the war and
others found II expedient to make
changes because OF developments Of the
war.
Yale, with DR.. Albert Sharpe in
charge. will go back to the one man
system of control, and the experiment,
II an experiment II Is. will be watched
with great interest particularly at Cam
bridge. Harvard. being unable to induce
Percy Haughton to come back, has
named Robert Fisher. who played under
Haughton. his successor. Princeton had
chance to hold Speedy Rush, but ap-
pointed Bill Roper instead. Rush has
peen named coach at Cornell to sue
ceed DR.. Sharpe.
Colgate has reengaged Larry Bank
hart. who resigned three years ago after
bis eleven had defeated Brown In the
nnal game of the season and spoiled
Browns claim to the Eastern title
Bankhart had been talked Of as coach
at Dartmouth. Now there Is a report
that Frank Cavanaugh will come back
to Dartmouth. Cavanaugh resigned sew
ernl years ago to take the coaching
position at Holy Cross, but the war
came along and he went TO France
Now Holy Cross finds Il impossible to
meet his terms and he Is without any
coaching connection.
CavanauRh Quit Dartmouth.
Cavanaugh left Dartmouth because Of
a NNaNW 81
factional fight. We do not know to
what extent this yarn was true. but 1t
10 fact that Dartmouth could go q
great way and still fail TO find q man
who knows as much football as Cava-
neugh. Given the proper support he
would make a great coach.
Pennsylvania has retained Bob Fol-
well. capable man indeed. Brown still
has Ed Robinson. who has-been there
for years and has been doing great work
all along. Columbia once more will be
coached by Fred Dawson, who was a
success last season. his first on Morning
side Heights. The Army has not yet
named its coach, while the Navy Is
likely to call again on Lieut. Ingram.
! In naming Bob Fisher. 1912. as foot
ball coach Harvard has chosen a worthy
successor to Percy Haughton. Fisher Is
thoroughly familiar with the Haughton
way of doing things. as he assisted the
former coach for several seasons. As
guard on the varsity team for three
years Fisher showed those qualities that
make q great football player and a
great leader, and we are sure that with
the proper support and the proper corps
OF Assistants he will make good, While
Haughton has retired to devote himself
altogether to the brokerage business he
win be with the Harvard squad In the
closing weeks OF the campaign next fall.
Fisher has yet to figure In a victory
over Yale. The nearest he came to tri-
umph over the Blue was a draw, earned
by the eleven he captained In 1911.
: harvard Was After Col. Daley.
Before naming Fisher the Harvard
football committee tried to land Col.
Charley Daley, former coach at West
Point. However, Daley has a star posi-
tion at Washington and II determined
that football no longer 10 to hamper his
progress in the army. 10 with stead
fast spirit the one time Harvard and

Leo Leary and Lothrop wilmington also
are said to have declined the job be-
cause of business reasons.
Fisher plans to make an early star,
next September. He will get tho candi-
dates together about September al

TO the Stadium on September Is. Among
the players who are expected to return
