COACHING POLICY
OF YALE'S GRID
TEAM IS CHANGED

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 27(AP)
Two changes in coaching policy
have marked Yale's preparation for
the opening of the 1926 gridiron cam
paigns-daily secret drills and the
use of the "huddle" system in giving
signals.
In adopting the ''huddle," Head
Coach Tad Jones is following the
lead of Princeton. 1t was the tiger
'huddle" that helped upset Yale last
fall in one of the crushing defeats
the Blues has suffered ut the hands
Of the Orange and Black.
Jones has strong veteran nucleus
for the 1925 Yale eleven. Sixtxeen
of the 25 men now on the first
string squad-survivors of an original
group OF 50-won their letters last
fall, including Sturhahn, an all
American guard.
The Ellis start their campaign next
Saturday against Boston university
with the opening bat
ties of their big Three" rivals,
Harvard and Princeton. Georgia
comes to New Haven for the second
game of the season followed by the
powerful Dartmouth eleven, which re-
turns to Yale's schedule after a

Golf Match and Dinner
Postponed Because of Rain

On account of the unusual rains
of the past few days the dinner
match scheduled for Sunday, Sep
tember 26, on the local golf course
has been postponed until Sunday
October 10.
The dinner which was to follow the
match is postponed until Wednesday,
October IS.
Great disappointment was felt
among the players who were sched-
uled to play Sunday, as the course
was in excellent condition until the
rain started. Practically all OF the
sand has been washed from the
greens and it will be several days
before dry sand can be replaced. Be-
cause next Sunday is the opening of
the deer season the committee
thought it best to postpone the match
until the above date, which is the
Sunday following the fair.

One of the few references to his poetry is made in a letter dated Oc- tober 30, 1866. Biographers have noted that Whitman's mother was no in sympathy with his poetical flights and thought it shameful that her grown son should be writing verse. Walt, in his letter, informs her:
 T hear there is long and fav- orable piece about me and Leaves of Grass in an English magazine called the 'Fortnightly Review one of the highest rank. too-Well, I am now going to leave off & drink cup of tea-near us there is a room where the treasury ladies work about noon they have tea-one of our clerks has a sort of sweetheart in there who sends him every day a cup of splendid green tea-which as he don't (sic) drink the article he always makes (it) over to me"

INTIMATE GLIMPSE
 OF WALT WHITMAN
Pathetic Letters to Old Mother
 Are Published

New York, Oct. 26 P)-An over worked, lonesome. petty government clerk carrying an umbrella to shield his head from the sun, or sitting in a ireless attic on frigid winter nights yearning for his old mother, is the picture of Walt Whitman, poet of idleness and red bloodedness, that emerges from hitherto unpub- lished letters to the mother.
 The letters, fifty-six in number, were recently purchased by Dauber and Pine, dealers in rare books and manuscripts. They had been in the possession of one family for many years, and are considered an import ant addition to Witmanana. They were written while Walt was em- ployed in the attorney-generaps of- flee. At the time he wrote them, Walt was about 50 years old. Ali were written in the years 1866-6S. His biographies have alleged that Whitman lost this job when a copy of Leaves of Grass" was found in his desk.
 A Loyable Figure
 "The Whitman revealed by these letters," Nathan s. Pine, one of the purchasers said today to the Asso- ciated Press, Ifs indeed a pathetic and lovable figure. He wrote in colloqual language so that his moth- CT, who was then beyond eighty, would understand him. Yet he had already written Leaves of Grass and was being hymned for his part in England and damned for his i'm morality by his Puritanical contem- pc aries in America"
 A typical letter is one under date of January 26. 1868. It is addressed , to Mrs. Louisa Whitman, P. O. Box 21S, Brooklyn. It, like the others, Is written on stationary of the at office, and the en- velope is franked by J. Hubley Ash ton, assistant attorney general, in . this letter Walt salutes his mother, .
