'P|GSK|N POST-MORTEM'
NOW ON At MINNESOTA

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. November "a.
"A pigskin post-mortem,'' inviting
students, faculty and alumni to write
what, in their opinion is the trouble
with foot ball at the University of
Minnesota, has been started by the
Minnesota Daily. official university pa
per. -
The Daily points out that out Of
eleven western conference games in
two years. Minnesota has won but
1wo-those with Northwestern and
Indiana this year.
ITO many. the season Just closed has
seemed far worse in its consequences
than the 100 per cent string Of defeats
of the 1920 season." the Daily said in
an editorial. Last year. men who
know foot ball gave Minnesota credit
for hard luck This year such phrases
as lack of training in the funda-
mentals of foot BALL poor tackling'
and high school plays have crept
into the sport stories with deplorable
frequency"
One of the first letters published in
the "pigskin post-mortem' by a foot
ball candidate criticised the coaching
methods of DR.. Henry L. Williams,
who has been foot ball coach at Minne-
sofa for many years.

SERVICE TEAM COACHES
BOTH FINE STRATEG|STS
BY WALTER CAMP.


With the Army Navy game at hand,
lovers of foot ball will be interested
to know something of the careers Of
the two coaches who have whipped
the rival teams into shape for battle.
Maj Daily, who has the gridiron
fortunes of West Point in his keep
ing this year, was a star himself for
years-first at Harvard and later at
West Point. He was as dangerous a
man to have loose with the ball as any
opponents ever faced. As West Point
coach I-aly has been handicapped
stars are made. Oliphant was the
last, and with his passing the Army
has been hard put to stem the tide
of Navy victories.
This year. with French fit and at his
best, and with the Improvement that
the West Point line. hope sprang
afresh in the breasts of Army adher-
ents only to be crushed by the over
whelming defeat by Notre Dane. But
the Army is famous for its great
comebacks, and it's partisans have
up the weak spots. before the team
takes the field against the Navy. ].
Bob Folwell, coach of Navy, was
successful coach at Pennsylvania,
and he has the reputation of being a
great student of the game as well
as competent coach. Last year he
showed his ability as a strategist in
developing plays which assaulted the
Army's wings and forced the tackles
10 work so hard that the guards
had to give some support. Then he
struck hard across at the Army cen :
ter and SMASHED it back. making wide
holes through which the Navy dashed
TO victory. This year his team has
showed progress even beyond the
work of last season.

Far to Seek" by Maud Diver
CHoughton Mifflin Company.
Far to Seek" takes its title from
the lines of India's greatest al
though most modern poet, Rabin-
dranath Tagore.
Il am athirst for far-away things.
My soul goes out in longing to
touch the skirt of the dim dis
lance
o Far-to-Seekt o the keen call of
thy flute"
and these few lines form the KEY
note to the whole story. 1t is dis
tinctfy romance, a romance of
England and india, as the author
states on the title page. but deep
er note is felt than the mere de-
sire to give pleasure in purely
imaginary characters underneath
is sensed the authors intense de-
sire to picture ahe real India of to-
day, not the political machine de-
scribed by Anglo-Indians or Brit
ish officers in India today; to show
the real and best of the Indian
people, not the haIf-breeds, and low
caste natives who form the entire
knowledge of most Indian peoples
held BY the English peoples, and
deSpised by them. Mrs. Diver has
called her latest novel an eidyfl OF
a mother and son." but it is decid-
edly more than that; it is a novel
lied hope, and longing that the In
dian situation and English politics
may be solved by a new under
standing between both England and
India, each understanding and
looking for the best rather than
the worst in the other.
In brief, the story is as follows:
Roy Sinclair is the eldest son of
Sir Nevil Sinclair, an English bar
Onet and famous artist, and of Lii
an Indian princess, and de-
scendant of Raiput chiefs. who had
dared to accept all risks. and to
overcome formidable barriers by
following the promptings of her
heart" and marrying the man she
loved. There had been a great deal
of criticism in English circles, but
the marriage justified itself. and
