CHANGES PLANNED
TO IMPROVE TEAMS
Magnificent Developments in
Play ForeSeen at Harvard,
Princeton and Yale.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, November 81
M 1t is certain that foot bali
/ Y in the late Big Three
Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton-will be better played in the
next few years than in the recent
past. Plans are making that will
insure this.
While the three ancient universities
realize that foGJ ball is not of para
mount Importance in their educational
system, they do none the less appreciate
its value as tonic influence in under
graduate life, and they are aware, too.
that among millions throughout the
country the status of seat of learning
is popularity appraised upon the brand
OF foot ball that is played there. Then,
OF course, its economic significance as
provider of funds for athletic arenas,
equipment and the financing of all
other sports is not ignored.
And so the conduct Of foot ball will
be bulwarked at Yale. Harvard and
Princeton while at the same time
rigorous conditions covering the en-
trance of students and the terms of
eligibility they must meet enthusiastically
and otherwise will in no wise be
ameiiorated.
Walsh Likely 10 Coach.
Yale next year will proceed pretty
much along lines followed since Tad
Jones resigned as coach, whereupon all
signs are that Adam Walsh will be
appointed head coach and the chief
among his assistants will be Harry
Stuhldreher, one of the four horse
men, playing upon the Notre Dame
eleven Of which Walsh was captain, and
now head coach at Villanova
There has been talk that some Yale
man might be named as chief of the
coaching staff, but that his position
would be merely nominal, Adam Walsh
doing the real work. Recent develop
ments make any such shift extremely
unlikely. however. Nothing, save prec-
edent, would indicate such a course
and the chances are that 1882 will
find Yale using the Notre Dame system
OF offense, taught by men Of that
university.
Displaying in the Yale game a run
ming and passing attack qualified to
gain consistently against a very strong
Line defense, Princeton sees her light
ahead. Those who know Albert witt
mer, Prtnceton's new head coach, ex-
pect much Of him, and the probability
Is he will justify himself. He has
which now awaits the approval Of the
Foot Ball Committee.
HOrween Bent on Quitting.
As to its personnel, it may be said
that Wittrner has recognized no neces-
s1ty of going outside the ranks of
graduates Of Nassau for his foot ball
faculty. Johnny German, quarterback
in 1922, has proved himself to be pre-
cisely the man needed for the fresh
man eleven and he Is sending UP to the
varsity for 1881 a number of men who
will prove valuable, provided, of course,
they are able to remain in college.
AS to this, the interesting fact should
be cited that in the foot ball squad
this year there was not a single case
of ineligibility
The writer understands that Arnold
Horween at Harvard is firm in his de-
termination to retire from coaching
and concentrate upon his extensive
business interests in Chicago. II this
proves to be the case, all the chances
are that Eddie Casey viii be appointed
as his successor. 1t is likely that with
Horween retiring. several assistant
coaches will go with him, leaving Casey
a lot OF latitude in appointing a new
staff. 1t would be surprising If Reggie
Brown, one of the ableSt foot ball
thinkers in the game today were not
called upon for more important service
than has been the case since the war;
So will stand the new deals in the
Big Three until at a time, perhaps not
so remote, some rather astonishing, but
at the same time magnificent, develop
mentS in the conduct of foot ball may
be expected.
