EAST IS NOT SUPERIOR.
Howard Jones Says Western Football
 Material Is Just as Good.

New Haven, Nov ,S.-According to Howard Jones,Sshead coach of the Iowa team, the eastern universities do not possess material that is superior to that in the, western. Writing to The Yale Alumni Weekly; Jones said, in response to "a query:
 .I believe that critics. are mistaken when they say that material in east ern institutions is superior to that in western. Tn my opinion, the material in most of the western conference universities .and other large univer- sities is in general the equal of the material in the eastern. Of course, it varies in different institutions. l can't see how any capable coach can judge his material before it has been tried out. and how critics on the out side can say Yale has wonderful na- terial before the men even appear on Yale field Is remarkable"
