In connection with the improvem.r.

1,egraduatcs point out that Yale has
had no eleven IN recent years that
tackled and handled punts and passes

throughout The season the tackljns
was aggravating N its crudeness. Tbe
football lovers think that this can he

summer practice. Jones did not arrive

September 7, and this allowed only

and punt handling.
Some stupidity has been discovered
in the coaching. resulting in the erin
ping OF two or three good PLAYERS. but
most Of the injuries occurred IN
scheduled games. Each year for two
seasons the Boston College game has
cost three or four of the best men. The
dergraduates feel that this indicates
that the Bostonlans play too rough
game for them to be continued on the
schedule, and. although the matter will
not come up officially for the football
men TIL next spring, it is firmly be-
heved that this college Will not he
again on the Yale date list very soon.

1t is likely that an effort will be
made to get either the Army or tho
Nav to come to the bowl eor a game.
As permission was given for the An.
napolis team to 20 to Princeton last
fall, it is likely that they could be
secured. This would crowd the bowl
it is believed. and allow the public who
cannot get tickets to the games with
Harvard and Princeton TO see a most
attractive match Incidentally il would
help raise the debt for the construc-
ton and improvements on the bowl.
Tad Jones hos the fun confidence Of
the undergraduates. alumni and faculty
