An unpleasant afternoon with un-

would add to this my belief that Tad
Jones is good, practical football
man. and / think he will prove it in
the style OF game Yale employees in
Its big games this year, whether It
wins them qr not.
Until recent weeks, all Yale
needed was an open game, and IL

In that game, Yale made use OF

Harvard and other great exponents
of the overhead game during recent
years. As matter of fact, Jones
has borrowed the Harvard pass from
running formation, and no longer
makes use of the stationary pass
or, a type of game that should not
fool schoolboys.
That much he showed the Har-
ward scouts at the Brown gang,
But no one believes that he showed
his entire hand. He probably has
variations of the play up his sleeve,
and will not use them until the big
game.
Jones has a remarkable squad of
backs around which to build such
an offensive. In the Brown game,
Wight, a triple threat man, was
used as the passer and Neidlinger
as the receiver. 1t is possible that
Wight, who is a very good man,
may be replaced in the big games
for the reason that Jones has more
good backs than two college teams
might boast. II Wight doesn't

would never be allowed to play

Such men are placed in other
backfieid positions where they can
run@the ball and pass without hav-

In addition, Harvard figIVes that

However. Yale is a sleeping dog
1ust now. It is not showing all it
knows, and from what I have seen
at Cambridge I think Harvard is
aware of the situation. 1t is known
that Yale likes to have the other
fellow regard it as the under dog,
for psychology plays big part In
football just as II does in any sport
Still, would feel better about

Look out for Yale!'
Tomorrow Mr.. Brickfey will dis

team has not lost a game since
1920.
