Jones is a coach who refuses to
give any signal from the side lines.
He has been forced to sit still while
his quarterback would make the
most glaring mistakes IN general
ship. However, no temptation was
great enough to cause Tad Jones to
break his principle Of allowing his
boys to play their own game.
The introduction Of Riches0n has
given Yale its offensive punch. The
former Tulane quarterback is one
OF the most capable field generals
the Ellis have had in years. The
way he selects his play and -he
amount of drive he puts INTO his
charges is enough to cause the foot
ball sages to consider him OF all
American caliber.
He is the directing force that has
made the Ellis an undefeated eleven.
He played a prominent part Satur-
day. He is going to be very
dangerous man to DR.. Bob FISHERS
Crimson players in the Cambridge
Stadium on next Saturday.
To many the game has changed
from bootball to a mixture of bas-
kethall and English Rugby. A few
tricks and a nifty halfback can Win
from most any well coached eleven.
Yale displayed fine offensive
strength against the Tiger. It has
been some time since a Blue eleven
ever uncovered its hand as did Tad
Jones' pupils on Saturday. For
years every one knew that Jones
was a great coach, developer OF
q fast, deceptive attack. His teams
up at Exeter were scoring ma
chimes Of real quality. In 1916 ne
cave Yale a winner after the Blue
had been in the slough OF despair
Last year he had one Of the
best coached backfield OF recent
years. The fact that his quar-
terhach q. n.sition was not filled
by 3 capable field general de-
prived his team from reaching
their true heights.
The remainder Of the Yale back
field is something to boast about.
WILDLY Neale, brother of the Tam
Gus Greasy Neale, proved the
caIibre of player that he is by his
action on Saturday. Neale played
an important part in the Tiger
game last year. However, the way
he conducted himself Saturday in
creases his prestige as a football
player.
Stevents is one Of the sensa-
fiOvs of the season. He always
gains when given the ball. Cap
tain Mallory played his usllaI
reliable game. He helped in maxi
ing interference for his brother
backs and was a tower Of strength
of defense. HIS kicking from the
field was consistently good. The
Toe of this blonde-haired leader ID
going to play an important part
In the big classic at Cambridge
this week end.
Harvard win have to keep Yale
outside her twenty-five yard line.
Within this distance the right toe
of the Yale leader is almost sure to
score by the drop kick method.
The Yale line played hard and
well. Myron Fuller, the Eli line
coach. deserves great credit for the
Vvay he has handled his material.
Much criticism has been aimed at
Fuller by some disgruntled indi-
viduals. However. the capable way
his rushline pupils acquitted them
selves is enough to show the bias
of those who criticize Fuller. Yale
has a first class bunch Of for
wards. They could hold their own
with any rushline in the country.
Chick Meehan's Syracuse eleven
suffered with overconfidence. Moth.
ing saps the strength of football
outfit as fast as overconfidence.
Players that feel they are trifle
~ la
made to play at their top form
Tackling is one of the principal
assets to a football player. To
tackle properly, a player must be
IN a certain frame of mind. II he
makes the tackle with the thought
in his mind that he is going :to
bring his opponent down with a
thud, the chances are he viii make
n hard, clean tackle. II, however
he feels that all he has to do Is to
bump his rival to stop him, 1t Is
likely the said rival will gain plenty
of ground before he is stopped.
Colgate promised to have a fine
team this fall. The severe injuries
that the Hamilton men sustained
out at Ohio State cost them dearly
I'm their games with Cornell and
AnnapOIis. The Colgate outfit that
won from Syracuse on Saturday
was a far different one than Gil
DObie's Comedians trampled over
three weeks ago.
IT was a fighting Colgate team
with its back to the wall. It wa
the grade of football outfit tina
was in the right frame of mind
Being In the best possible frame o
mind they outdid themselves an
heat an oVerconfident outfit.
1t is likely that the setback Syrs
cuse met with will send the Sal
City lads out to Lincoln, Nebraska
on Saturday in the right frame O
