ice packs in the Arctic Ocean suffi-
ciently to replace the cutter Bear is

TAD JONES OPPOSES
FOOTBALL REDUCTION

MONTCLAIR, N. J., Dec. 7.-CP
Opposition to any change in Big
Three football which would detract
from the popularity of the game was
expressed by Head Coach Tad Jones
of Yale at the annual smoker of the
Yale Alumni Association of Mont
clair.
Jones was understood to be referring
to a proposal in the Harvard Crimson,
undergraduate publication. that big
Three" teams play only three games
each season, including big Three"
contests.
Il have no use for reformers in
football who seek to reform the game
after they have had a bad season." he
said. "The three-game schedule which
has been suggested has been one of the
most ridiculous things 1 have ever
heard"
Jones said he agreed with Coach
William Roper of Princeton, that
scouting be abolished. The forty play
per period system. Jones asserted,
will not add one iota of interest to
the game"
