FOOT BALL AT NEW HAVEN HELPED GREATLY BY TAD Sharp Adverse Criticism Has Caused Him to Resign—Win Over Tigers Might Bring R BY LAWRENCE PERRY NEW YORK, November 3.—Just before the fool ball season started ‘Tad Jones announced that the present year would be his last as coach at Yale. The resignation confirmed by the Yale Athletic Association. The writer has reason to believe tiat Mal Stevens, a good man, is being chiefly considered as his_success The drama of the present si is threefold. First, Tad ball coiching not only likes foot ball but becau: him in closest and most influent contact with a lot of ‘talwart hoys. Moreover, had he not heen vnder fi as withering as a coach ever faced, he would never, the writer belioves, have thought of resigning. The second point in_the situation s that a whole lot of Yale men who believe in Tad and what he for and who believe he knov can teach as much foo: hall man in the country do not want f:n to resign. Third, in the face of his 1esi: Jones turns to and developes nificent team. Even should Pr defeat Yale, it would be no refection on the coaching inastuch as Prince- ton-Yale games very seldom are si nificant in terms of what the teams have been taught. or personnel, or anything that is definite in the way of form. Yale Has Chance. Just now no one may about the forthcom the Tigers and the s and it is by no means a wild suppo- sitlon—that Yal: comes out on the field on November 12 and sgives the Tigers a real trouncin: n such case ure they soi Tad Jones resign from Y writer doubts it very <e ‘Why even right now those w ay muci 1ae between ut supy been Tad's severest critics are placing | this year's Eli outfit in one of those empty niches in the Yale hall of fame where stand cffigies so gigantic and illustrious that it is almost like looking at the sun to contempla them—Pa Corbin’s team; eleven and Vance McCormick Hinkey’s and Gordon Brow: those stalwart combinations that made Yale foot ball a by-word. Those who have assailed Jones in the past are apologizing tacitly or actually and wherever Yale men foregather, praise for coach and players rises to a paean. They may not know it. these re- formed Jones critics, but what they are admitting is that, given the ma- terial Tad Jones can coach it to the highest degree of demonstrative ex- cellence, can turn out as fine a' team as any coach. And. after all, material i one of the great essentials of the fame of any great teacher, Rockne, Warner or any one. " Baffled Critics. It seems certain that some months before he resigned, Tad had no in- tention of leaving his coaching job. Howard . Jones -tells the writer that when Tad was with him in California this yvear the Yale instructor evidently had no idea of giving up. And few know of that meeting which may some day be historic between Tad Jones .-and - the leading wiseacres among his critics, or at least some of who upon voicing their eriti- of Yale's offense in recent years unable, when chalk was placed in their hands and they were led to a blackboard, to diagram any of Yale's plays.

Oklahoma defeated and Ames tied Illinois, while Kans team that has heen in the dumps or three lost to Visconsin. Finally met Northw r elevens of the terence and slaughtered the Evans- tonians. In addition to injuries which incapacitated several of Missou i sta throughout the season, practi- cally all the players suffered from a break of fortune which is herewith set forth not s an alibi for the-Co- lumbians' downfall at the hands of | the brilliant Southern Methodist ag- | ion, but as a warning to ches and groundkeepers. It seems of the seison the diron was chalked with an improper sort of lime. Almost all Missourl's linemen,| ell as the ‘wards of the Kan- as State Wildcats suffered severe burns from contact with the lime which almost put the two teams out of foot ball. Ames Has Fine Team.

Ouat in the Middle West they are suggesting that an excellent way to prevent dissensions such as have n in teams this year would be to choose a different captain for every game, instead of for the season. Most of these internal troubles are due to fraternity politics creeping into cap- taincy elections. The squabble at Northwestern is said to have had its genesis in the election of Gustafson over Tiny Lewis, and at Ohio it is understood that Capt. Meyers and Marek came to grips and thus affected the entire Buckeye eleven. of Rouse, the Chicago center, is earn- ing glory.

Irrespective of Yale, there is one thing certain about Tad Jones, and that is that foot ball needs him. He does not have to coach for a living, because he has a successful business, Just the same, his departure form the game would be a calamity. He is an example to youth, and an inspiration to older men. He has a place some- where, if not at Yale. as a leader of men and a teacher of foot bhall. And the writer is not so sure that that {llalde may not be found still to be Yale. Officials Are Severe. Foot bhall enthusiasts—especially in the Middle West—are complaining over the comma-hunting tendencies of officials. The perfectly casual way in whivh arbirtators of the thidlands are calling back touchdowns on the basis of minor technicallities has irritated spectators and discouraged players. In the Ohio-Chicago game the M roons lost a touchdown after a play that was perfectly executed had car- ried the ball over the line. The ruling was that a man who had nothing to @o with the play had been in motlon straight toward the side line instead of veering toward his own goal before the ball was snapped. had been moving even slightly for. ward there would have been justice in the decision. but to say he was mov- ing precifely at rizht angles to the side lipe and to kill a touchdown ac. cordingly, 1s drawing things pretty fine. In the East no one may be sure that a well kicked punt will not be called hack, because some man’s foot was an inch or two off side. The calling back of punts has got to be a stock feature of contests in this section. It hurts the continuity of the game, which, at best, has too many interruptions. Of course, rules should be obeved and in- fractions should be penalized. But there is certainly such a thing as drawing hair lines in the handling of foot ball games. Little Fellows Growing. The old adage alout a certain va rlety of insect previnz upon a larger animal and in turn = bitten by a till smaller insect and o on ad infin- ftum applies quite significantly to the foot ball elevens of country this srason. Originally, the big three, Ya ward and Princeton, stood alone. T Pen ania bit several chunks out of Harvard and the Tiger and edged into the charmed circle.

The blg game of the Pennsylvania district, involving the Kast's only major importance, Washington and Jefferson and Pittsburgh, appears on | the surface to be a toss-up. V & J. has an star backfield in Capt. Bill Amos, Heisel, Cook and Kirkman. Pitt has one to maten it with Capt. Gibby Welch, a versatile oerformer, especially prominent, Pres- ent indications are that Booth, full- back. and Edwards, quarterback, will be out of the Pitt line-up, and if so the Panthers’ chances will be diminished somewhat. | Twenty-two years ago, when Har- ! vard and Penn last met on the grid- { iron, there was no Harvard-Princeton game, =0 Saturday's game finds an analogous situation. Penn, replacing Princeton on the Crimson’s schedule, will be playing foot ball built upon lines similar to those of the 1905 Penn team. The Quakers will have to snap into form against this Harvard team, however, for many believe that Coach lArnuld Horween has his team at its hest. Al Wascolonis, who has been a fix- ture in the Penn backfield, has Heen dropped to make way for Paul Mur- phy. Brown probably will call signals for Harvard instead of French. Yale Back at Work.

HAGEN PLAYING ARMOUR IN QUARTER-FINAL TODAY Walter, Defending Champion, Seeking Fifth Title ’ at Dallas—Golfers of Spanish and Italian Strain in Important Tilts. By the Associated Press, ALLAS, Tex., November 3.— The unusual spectacle of a battle between the Nation's two links kings, with the title of one at stake, in the third round of a tournament play, today eclipsed three other matches in the quarter finals of the National Profes- sional Golf Association championship meet here. Shootin, Walter <ceking his Armour of \ r golf most of the way, gen, defending champion, fifth title, and Tommy hington, national open ampion, vesterday had little diffi- culty in crushing their tournament nerve against each other. Hagen started his deadly shooting against Tony Manero of New York in the first nine, and continued until the twenty.second hole, where he was 11 up. Manero came back to heat Hagen the twenty-third and to hold the Pasadena, FI star on the twenty- fourth. The champion took the twen- ty-fifth, and scored a birdie 2 on the next hole to win, 11 to 10. Tom Harmon of Yonkers gave Armour some trouble at the start, but weakened after the first round to lose, 7 and 6. Both turned in 70s, one under par, for the first eighteen. In the other matches of the upper bracket, Morte Dutra of Wash.,, defeated €harles Guest, Holly wood, Calif,, 1 up, and Al Espinosa of Chicago beat Harry Cooper of Los An- geles, 5 and 4.
