 New York. November 5.-The eli max of the football season of 1921 is rapidly approaching. and brief study of coaches and coaching sys- tems that will be lined up against each other at the finish is of vital interest Three teams, all of them within the state of Pennsylvania, have worked their way to an out standing position and show highly advanced football. These teams are Penn State, Lafayette and Pittsburg
 Penn State. coached by Bezdek, showed as high class football against Georgia Tech as has been seen this season. Bezdek is a product of the University of Chicago. where he learned under Stagg. He represents the type of coach who thinks out his plans far ahead and then devotes himself to producing extreme pre- cision in his plays. His attack Is men at the start of play are com paratively close to the line and in a semi-erect position, although the man who takes the ball crouches so that the line and Interfering backfiele form a screen for him, through which it is difficult for the defense to see the direction of the play. But when his backfield man with the ball comes to the line itself he assumes a more erect position and side steps grace fully for an opening that offers. Bezdek's men also reverse their field at any point in the run and are given much individual freedom. He has developed men like Charlie Way and Haines two of last years stars, and this year Killinger Is showing even greater elusiveness.
 Warner at Pitt
 Glenn Warner Is a former Cornell lineman and at Pittsburg he had made a record for turning out high class teams. His method is to de velop by means of the direct pass. g freedom of interference and spread of his backfield. His team suffered defeat by Lafayette early this season but since then it has come ahead very strongly and Warner now has q backfield more highly developed than that of almost any other team.
 Warner uses the direct pass alto gether. and this puts premium upon the accuracy of the snapping back of the center, which Stein does to perfection. Warner occasionally lTlbS lOTWdEO pass DenlnQ the llnE of scrimmage, that is, with the re- ceiver not having crossed the line, | and with Davies to receive their pass, he has made it a very consid- erable threat to opponents.
 Is Warner's Pupil
 Sutherland, at Lafayette, Is a pupil of Warner and was a guard in the l Pitt line. He has brought out a team that surpasses nearly anything the Easton institution has ever shown 1 His methods are similar to those of l Warner. but with more dependence on power. He has a star guard in 1 Schwab and a fine back in Gazelle. He depends on team play for results, rather than on individual stars.
 1 Of the three coaches of the Yale, Harvard and Princeton teams, Jones was a quarterback at Yale, Fisher was guard at Harvard and Roper an end at Princeton. Jones gets re , markable spirit into his team. He Is | loved by every man who works with him and has developed some remark able men in the backfield, notably Aldrich and O'Hearn as open field runners. Jordan as a line plunger, and Mallory as a defense man. The l line defense of Yale has been wei | developed. Jones has developed ends l this year capable of sound football
