Old Habit of Charging Every
Failure to Team Tutor
Out Of Style.
TAD JONES THREATENS
With Good Material and Sys-
tenn Year Older Eli May
Cause Trouble.
by DANIEL.


season one of the outstanding features
is the fact that so few colleges have
made changes in coaching. There
seems to be greater realization that
defeat does not always trace back d.
rectly to the head coach and that re-
suits cannot be obtained If the chief
mentor is not given time in which to
build up system.
Yale once more will have Tad Jones.
the man with the quarterback mind.
at the helm. Jones failed to lead his
Ellis to the championship last season.
but they made gallant fight, and
seem to stand fine chance this year.
Yale again has the material and 1t has
a system which, year older than it
was in 1921, is more likely to achieve
big things.
Jones gave to the Blue last year a
well rounded game built on sound
foundation. He learned divers lessons
then and means to profit by them. This
year he will have the capable help OF
so efficient a captain as Jordan. the
back. Like Malcolm Aldrich. the leader
of 1921, Jordan has many qualities
which make him good captain. His
football capabilities never have been
estimated at their true worth. OF
course he was handicapped In that re-
spect by the fact that he had to shine
behind the brilliancy of Aldrich. But
Mac" is gone.
Pessimis ism mt Nassau.
At Princeton Bill Roper again is In
charge. Last season Bill did not meet
with any too great success. He was
hampered by injuries which left him
not only without the services of these
first rate players but retarded the de-
velopment of the entire team. Roper
was not blessed with too great a guam
tity of eligible material for the major
tests His outlook looks brighter now,
but down at Old Nassau there seems to
be a feeling Of pessimism. This feeling
is something not to be despised at any
stage OF the season. Overconfidence
and lurid phrases have killed many an
eleven.
Bill Fisher once more is coaching at
Harvard. Bill has the help of a great
captain in Buell.. the drop kicker and
quarterback. Buell. Is a likable chap,
a youth with admirable qualities both
In his relationship to his teammates
and his ability to run team.
Fisher again has splendid material.
His line does not look as strong as 1t
was last season. but the outlook at
Cambridge is not quite as dark as some
reports have made 1t. Fisher has quite
lot of experienced forwards and in
addition he has few players who
were backs last season and can be con-
verted into ends and tackles.
Cornell faces the season with Gil
Dobie as coach. Dobie worked wonders
with the Ithacans last season, even II
they did fail to hit the high pinnacle
which their supporters were led to be-
leve they were capable of attaining.
Dobie started a fine system last season
and with many veterans on hand should
make greater progress still this year.
Pennsylvania already is hard at work
under John Heisman. Last season there
was a report that Heisman would not be
asked to return this fall. but there he is
out with the men and Philadelphia
critics are talking again of a champion
eleven. Heisman has number OF tried
veterans and he also has a bunch of
capable young men who got their ele-
mentary training at other universities.
Some of these look highly promising,
particularly young punter from Mary
land by the name Of Ready.
Columbia Begins Tomorrow.
Columbia will open practice to-mor-
row under the eye of Buck O'Neill, who
Columbia hit pretty low level In 1921.
1t was erratic, In and out. But several
players who were not eligible then are
available now. Chief of these is Rhoder-
lex. who will be remembered for his ex-
PLOTS as a back on the Boston College
eleven which defeated Yale in 1920.
New York University has called Tom
Thorp from Columbia to be its head
coach, great selection. Frank Gargan,
former coach at New York University,
has returned to Fordham his alma
mater, as coach. The College of the
City of New York after having kept out
of varsity football since 1907 has gone
back to the game with Joe Neville coach
ing. Joe was quite a back at Yale and
should be a good coach. It's UP to the
college to give him material with which
to work.
Dartmouth, which engaged Jack Can
nell last year and reaped a harvest OF
failure. has pinned its faith on Jack
once more. The Navy once more has
the fine services of Bob Folwell, while
the Army again has Major DAILY
Boston College is being coached by
Frank Cavanaugh, former Dartmouth
mentor. and Holy Cross has reengaged
Cleo ,O'Donnell. Brown OF course has
retained Ed Robinson All along the
line they have come back, and that's
a healthy sign.
Pittsburgh will have the coaching of
Glenn Warner for the last season. as
next year will find him at Stanford.
The East will be the loser by that
change. Tom Davies. who was Genn's
big star last season, is helping Helsman
at Penn.
Hugo Bezdek, coach at Penn State.
Is another fixture. Bezdek faces a big
problem. lie has ost most of his
veterans and he has lost a good many
of those on whom he had counted 10
fill the gaps. But he has a lot OF
huskies and should get out another
great team.
Harlow, who assisted Bezdek last
year. has gone to Colgate to take the
ralaca Of ETlarv Hnnflnutnr.
