FOOTBALL SCOUTS
 NOT IN DISGUISE
Don't Wear WhiSkerS or Act as
 Spies, Pattersan Says

A football scout is not q mystcr ous individual who hides behind false whiskers, pulls a slouch hat we'll over his face and peeks through knCt holes in a fence, members of the Lions club were told today by Robert F. Patterson, of the Patter- son-Chevrolet company, at the noon meeting at the Burritt hotel.
 A scout, according to Mr. Patter- son, who besides having been a foot ball star and assistant coach at Cor nell for two years, is coach of the New Britain Nutmegs, admits he has done considerable scouting for his alma mater himself. is a man who walks up to the coach of the other team. introduces himself, is given a pass which welcomes him 10 the field and authorizes him to be at home anywhere from the club house to the press box.
 The speaker traced the develop ment of a football team from the time the freshmen squad reports for spring practice to the time the var sity team romps home with the lau- rel wreath or the consolation prize,
 Referring to Cornell he said the freshmen squad arrives about 100 strong for spring training. The problem of the freshman coach is not so much 10 win game as to teach fundamentals and to develop material for the varsity team.
 The biggest men do not always make the best football players, Mr. Patterson stated, pointing out that Booth at Yale is a small man but cleverness and playing ability. Men of Ill and 200 pounds who might have all the physical qualifications of good players, oftimes do not make good because they have the wrong temperament.
 Cornell does not admit students for the sole purpose of having them play football. he added saying that if they go to that institution for the sole purpose of playing they do not stay long.
 Mr. Patterson explained the diff ference in playing technic. Tackling oftimcs depends upon which foot a player steps off with first. For one kind Of tacklinG he steps off with one foot. for another kind, he uses the other foot.
 Other technical features of the game were explained, showing how fundamentals are important when it comes to making plays count. Dis ciplinc also is important the speak CT continued. He cited a number of instances wherein certain coaches mentioning by name "Gil' Dobie of Cornell and others, brook no inter-

furnishings in the rear of the studio. The thieves disturbed nothing else except to move a stool to the place the fence had occupied. On the stool was pinned by four inch knife blade a cartoon from a magazine This cartoon suggested that there was an element Of mischief in the act. At the foot of the ladder one man, by caption, says to an officer standing by:
 "sh! We want this 10 be a sur prise"
 The fence is supposed 10 have been taken down the hallway which is entered from the rece.s which forms part of Jhe entrance Of the Hyperion thcater. Men who were in a store close by recall seeing Il car with Massachusetts registration standing close by this entrance for a time during the hours O. the game,
 The Yale News last night received telegram dated Winter Park, Fla. which read; Yale fence concealed in Everglades by alligatOrs Do you want it?"
 9 The message called for q reply. but none vas sent. the News staff not being of the opinion that the fence was in Florida.
 At the studio this morning opinion was uncertain whether the theft was deliberate ono. Because of the sentiment value iu the fence. Pach Brothers had asked the police and will ask Yale men to aid in the re- Covery.
 The original fence. from about 1850 until 1878 bounded the city block which now embraces the pres ent old college campus and the buildings surrounding it. For the greater part of half a century the fence was merely a fence, but as years passed and fence rush each fall between freshmen and sopho- nores became an accepted part Of the initiation of new corners, DOT lions of the fence took on value. The fence gave way gradually to build ings. but a section of it long rcmain- ed at the Chapel College street cor ner and such portions Of it that cX ist are believed to have come from that section. The new Bingham hall stands on that corner alld there a bas-relief Of a fence is part of the decorative finish of the first course Of granite foundation.
 This portion of the fence now gone, was collected by Harry Halsey after rush in 1878, which totally demolished the barrier. He was with Pach Brothers at the time and he as- sembled two uprights and five rails. Later he gave two rails to Rev. An son Phelps Stokes. then secretary of tho university, now dean at the Washington athedral, who used the wood for frames for pictures kept by the university Other portions of the fence may be in existence. Old Yale men have assumed that they are in keeping of alumni who value them as relies and in course of time will return these portions to the keeping of the university.
 Halsey, who died some months since, knew more about old time Yale and old timers themselves than almost any alunnuS of his day. He used the fence for 50 years as the background for pictures Of teams, captains and players whose like nesses were to be added to the gal lery of Yale men of note. Pictures were to have been taken in the next few weeks Of Vale mon but tho a k- ing of these has been postponed in hope that the fence will be recover ed.
