PRINCETON COACH mas
PECULIAR SYSTEM.

Most coaches, in selecting
player TO receive forward
passes. look on the athlete who

Coach Bill Roper OF Princeton

tons 20 the rule. II 40 hap
pens that Gilroy. who has re-
cclved most OF the long for
wurd passes attempted by
Princeton. is far from being a
fast man. This fact has often
been commented on. Tho only
solution ever offered that met
with any favor. was that Ro-
per. figuring his fast men
would always be covered. took
a chance on Giiroy, who. be-

BAD TACKLING
Chief FAULT
in FOOTBALL

Poor tackiing has been a prevail
ing fault IN almost every big game
played IN the east and the west. The
experts have harped on the failure
OF tho tacklers to bring down their
men as IN tho old days
In the Princeton Yale game. three
Princeton men had chance 70
bring down Aldrich. Of Yale a. he
circled the Princeton end for the
FIRST touchdown Of tho game. Two
OF the Tiger players missed Aldrlch
entirely. while the third tackler al
lowed himself TO be dragged over
the goal line before bringing AL
drich down
In the old days. coaches had the
players indulge In tackiing practice
every day. The tackling dummy was
badly treated In the old days. It's
different now with the new game
