PRINCETON COACH AT GODDARD.
Showing Seminary Football Men How
Game Is Played By Tigers.

Coach All Wittmer OF Princeton uni
yefsity arrived at the seminary yester-
dsv and will coach the Goddard foot
bail candidates in their spring football

Coach Wittmer worked with the line

ton method of line work. Instead OF
knocking a man on the ground as other
college systems prefer TO do Coach
Wittmer taught the boys how to roll
a man out of the play without taking
him of of his feet. He also showed the
linemen how TO form wedge in which
three men on the defense play one man
on the offeDse.
The system employed at Princeton
was given a try-out at Harvard and
the football officials at that college
pronounced it a failure. However. the
Princeton coaches have nearly perfect
ed this new system and within another
wear Coach Wittmer feels that butYew
colleges will be able 10 face the Tigers
on the gridiron. Should Coach Aldrich
approve OF the Princeton method OF
playing it is probable that the system
will be adopted at Goddard
This afternoon Coach Wittmer will
call out the backhcld men and will in
struct them in punting, drop kicking,
running with the ball and throwing
and receiving forward passes. All the
Goddard athletes will be out on the
field in suits sometime during the week

is offered them. Coach Wittmer is un-
doubtedly one of the most finished foot
ball players at Princeton and has been
signed up to coach the Princeton line
men next fall. During his stay in this
city he il the guest of DR. and Mrs. d.
