Action of Athletic Body Comes As Surprise After Disas trous Football Football Experiences of Last Season
 Results Shock to Eli Followers
(By AL JACKSONN


 We are among the many who can not understand why Yale has signed rad Jones to 1ong-term contract as football coach. There is no doubt when all is said and done, that Jones was the biggest bust of the 1920 gridiron season. He turned out team that shocked the fans when il took the field against Princeton-a set of players in whom nothing had been instlied of teamwork or, for that matter, even rudimentary foot ball.
 If Fred Hunt, the High school coach, had permitted his juvenile charges to play as poorly and as ig- play in Jungietown, he would have been assassinated and his hide boil ed in oil. But Jones, for some rea- son or other, got away with it. Not only that, but he is to be continued as football mentor.
 Al Sharpe, hero of the patented wrist-whistle. was a failure with the Bulldog team the year before, and was soundly berated by students and the press. Sharpe was deposed over night But it must be conceded that he did turn out vastly superior team to the one that Jones manufac- tured a year later. Sharpe was beaten, but he went down fighting Jones' team did not fight because ii had nothing to fight with

IS BEATEN BY
 STAMFORD
Special to The Tirnes.)

Norwalk Hopelessly outclassed both in floor work and basket shoot ing, Norwalk dropped the fifth game of it's series with Stamford last night, by the score of Az to 31. From the moment the ball was tossed up at center the locals never had a chance. The clever passing of the Stamford quintet seemed to baffle Norwalk most completely, and at times the visitors appeared to be only toying with their opponents.
 ] The sixth game of the series will be played ir. Stamford next Tuesday night, and if Norwalk drops this con- lest it will mean the loss of the series.

Lanky played regularly on the team for three years but failed to get recognition. Last year he was robbed of that hon. or, but he played in every game.
