YALE NEWSPAPER
 DISCUSSES GAME
Three Views on Football Are
 Given by Old Grads

New Haven, Dec. 16.-tP-NieWs on three separate phases Of footpaIl at Yale are expressed in the current issue Of the Yale Alumni Weekly, in letters from Samuel r. E. Morse, captain of the varsity team Of 1906; William H. Pa" Corbin, 'S9, who captained a team which once ran up a score of 597 points; and William 0. Henderson who on November 1J. 1s.S, took part in the first game with Princeton.
 Morse would return to the gradu- ate coaching system with Tad - Jones as the coaches coach' as was Walter Camp.
 Henderson advocates ahrogatlon of the rule which barred Bruce Cald- well from participation in the Princeton and Harvard games. Cor bin favors the renewal Of tho non scouting agreement and also would have the coaches in the stands ont of contact with the team except a intermission during the game.
 Speaking Of the days Of Walter Camp, Morse says in his letter the head coach going back usually in the person of the retiring captain was in a far better position to con duct the field work than an older man, longer out Of the game, could possibly have done. Assisted hv the old players and advised by Walter Camp, the turning out of a good team was inevitable"
 He then goes on 10 ask If 1t is not e good time to return to that sys tenn when 1t Is possible to secure the proper man to take the place once occupied by Camp. Tad Jones by this time must have convinced even the most doubling Of his qualifica- tions for the position"
 Henderson declares "Yale owes if 10 herself to see to it that no other bona fide Yale student should be sacrificed as Caldwell has been. I agree that under the existing agree ments or rules which however should never have been made. Yale could right do nothing less than de- cline to play Caldwell in the Prince ton and Harvard games" Henderson would also remove the rule which bars freshmen from varsity teams.
 Of non scouting Corbin says "it seems to me to be very decided step forward in good sportsman ship. It takes away that continual feeling of apprehension that the team and methods are being spicd on."
 He then goes on to compare a football game with a miniature form of military attack and reminds tha, spies, under military rules, arc severely punished. duo 10 the abso- lute necessity of keeping the enem, ignorant Of plans for the methods of proposed attack. ITO my mint this same thing applies to football
 Corbin also feels that Yale ough to take a further step and reques that all coaches be seated in tn stands XXX. This will develop yer! much needed leadership Xxxxx ol the part of the captain and vii bring the game back to an under graduate-playing contest instead o as 1t Is now, a lot of pawns bains moved XXX by a board of mature strategists xxxx.''
 Commenting on Henderson's let ter. the Weekly says "the whol' eligibility question Is little chaotic we think. not only at Yale but he tween Yale and other colleges. xxx. No two colleges seem to have tn same eligibility rules xxxx. The an swer seems to lie in clearly defined and reasonable eligibility rule drawn to meet Yale's desire 10 amateur sportsmanship and in play ing only such colleges as have simi lar rules. The whole subject need restudy, we think, and some sucl action as we have indicated"
