weekly EmEes continuity and science in NaIe football affairs The editorial says: "A defeated coach must go, not because he is not the man for the place, but because he was beaten. But a study of the Yale football situation disclosAs more of a problem than that, important as that detail is. The trouI ble lies deeper than individuals and is essentially the lack of winning system, and by that we mean a year to year working combination of cap tain. team, head coach with a strat- egic and advisory staff of older players This was the old system that won games for Yale.
 'FThe captain had the responsibility and authority, but deferred to his head coach, generally the previous years captain, who in turn deferred to the judgment of the advisory head coach, Walter Camp, who worked out the seasons policy with a small group of former players. There was continuity to this system. Each team fell into line behind it's predecessors and had the advantage of stored up football ex- perience. A single head or field coach with assistants, was not the whole machinery. In addition there was first class tactical brains at the top.
 There are other factors, of course, in Ya1e's problem, the modern game began about 1910, and Yale has not until this year, readjusted itself to the new conditions. At Harvard our own methods were adopted. But the real trouble lies in the casting off of q tried and successful system, and in our opinion, until we return to the essen- tials of it, Yale football is due to have more disappointing years"

 T will box Ski under any condi- tion at date to be fixed upon my return to Paris this evening"" Car pentier telegraphed Le Journal from Brighton, England, last night. Please say that to beat Ski would be the greatest joy of my life, the telegram said. It added that Georges was to get the opinion of surgeons as to the condition of his hands, which were injured in his bout with Ski.
 A report is current that Ski has disappeared bat neither his friends nor the police seem unduly aIarmeh The newspapers suggest that he has been spirited away from the clutches of in reviewers.
 Ski appeared this morning to deny in pcrcon that he had committed suicide or that he had been thrown into the river as had been widely reported.

INTERNATIONAL ADOPTS
 16a GAME SCHEDULE

New York, Dec 11-(By the A. P.) of a 16S-game schedule for 1923, with the season opening April IS, and closing September 2S, consti- tuted the chief business transacted today at the opening of the Interna- tional leagues annual meeting. It was understood this schedule was adopted after clubs in the southern half of the circuit had advocated shortening the season to 154 games. The past sea son was on a 16S-game basis.
 The chb-owneSs appointed sched- ule committee, which will meet in February to frame schedule details.
 In declaring the draft dead issue so far as the International league was concerned, John Conway Toole, pres ident of the league revealed that sev- eral other minor leagues planned to seek exemption from the selective law which in addition to the Information al, is not recognized by the Ameri- can association, Pacific Coast, West ern or Three Eye leagues. He men toned the Eastern league and South ern association, bothZ class "A' cir cults, as among the leaders in the new 'insurgent' move.
 / While the present seven year agree ment between the majors and minors
 
 binds for the life of the pact all lea gues that accepted the draft at that time, President Toole expressed it as his unofficial opinion that loophole existed for further exemptions.
 The terms of the agreement pro- vided that any league not desiring to accept the draft should serve not ice to Commissioner Landis on or be- for February Is, 1921, in default of which notice they would be regarded as having accepted the principle The date of notification. however, from the major league viewpoint a year ago, MT. Toole said, was considered to mean February Is, of any year during the agreements existence Such an inter pretation, he added, would give a mi nor league now bound by the draft the privilege of withdrawing from it at any time.
 No changes in the international cir cuit or organization were discussed according to President Toole.

 Mir. Myers then termed the default "a humiAating surrender. for the first time in the history of English Davis cup teams" and, answering a req mark that the British were financial. ly handicapped, read a letter from Captain Alonso - the Spanish team saying that the Spanish federation had an income of only 70 pounds an. nuaHy and that the team was helped to Amecica by advances from the Am. erican federation.
 Mir. Myers then read au excerpt from an Australian newspaper quoting Gerald L. Patterson, captain of the Australian, team, as saying upon biz return home:
 Tn contrast to the casual official reception in England of the Australs asian Davis cup team, the welcoms in American made us feel at home.
 Continuing. the speaker declared that the Cambridge and Oxford tens his players were given a great res ception in America, but that when the Yale and Harvard men returned the visit an attitude of official aloofe ( ness on the part of the fedefatior was observed throughout the vH Rorsl tour of the Brittzh JElaa \

YALE'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
 IS STILL UNCERTAIN

With the selection of "Blonde Bill' Mallory as captain of the Yale foot ball eleven for 1923 and the continu- ing of Tad Jones as head coach the only thing necessary to keep the pot boiling at Yale is the announcement of the football schedule for 1923. There have been many wild conjectures as to the teams that will be on the sched- ule-
 There isn't any question but that there will be several new teams en- gagged in competition in the Bowl, but who these .elevens are will not be def it's schedule, which will be in a few days. It will consist of not less than seven games and not more than eight Harvard. Princeton, Brown ard the Army will be on the schedule. Gen. tre College asked for a game, but whether Yale can find a place for Centre is a question. One thing is certain-and that is the Yale sched- ule of 1923 will not be the soft one that some critics seem to think.
 Yale will be well fortified with high class football material next fall from the team of the past season as be- sides Capt. Mallory, IS other mem bers of the team will be in college.
 They are: Bench, Deaver Diller, Greene, Hulman, Joss, Lincoln, Love- joy, Luman, Miller, Pillsbury, Scott Blair, Cutler, Landis, Norris Commas Wight, OHearn. Regulars lost include Capt. Jordan, Eddy, Cross, Chuick- shank and Herr. Then there will be the stars of the past season freshman team some other football players who have been ineligible, so all in all football prospects for next season look ex- ceptionally bright.

DRAFT QUESTION TO
 GET FIRST ATTENTION

New York, Dec 1.-The draft ques- ton that has been agitating baseball circles even since five of the largest minor leagues exercised ~the option given them under the 1921 major mi nor agreement ands refused to grant the selective privilege, either to the majors or to minors of other classi- fication, may receive fresh attention this week when major and minor lea gues hold meetings in this city.
 The majors supported in their views by Commissioner K. NJ. Landis, de- sire to amend the present draft stat utes, as embodied in the 1921 agree ment, so that all minor leagues will be obligated by it's provisions and given no choice in the matter. Unsuccessful overtures were made a year ago by the advisory council and since have been repeated in an effort to secure new understanding with the five recall citrant minors, who insist upon keep ing in force the present law, which was made effective for seven years, or until 1928.
 AS an alternative solution of the situation, a number of major league clubs are known to favor an enlarged player limit, to afford a larger range of player selection. On the other hand several other minor leagues, now af- fected by the draft are believed ready to join the other "holdouts" and nulli- fly the selective privilege as far as they are concerned.
 Exemption from the draft, by "any league So desiring" is specifically pro- vided under the terms agreed upon jointly by the majors and minors on January 12, 1921. At the same time a league exercising such exemption automatically forfeits any right |. draft players from other circuits. The five leagues that have take this course are the American associ; = | tion, International and Pacific Coast leagues, the only class "AA" circuits in the country; the Western league l class -A', and the Three-Eye league class ~B".
