Naming of Tad Jones as Advisory Coach of Foot Ball at Yale Is Suggested URGED AS MENTCR OF GRID COACHES ¢ Alumnus Wants Him to Hold Position Like That Once Occupied by Camp. EW HAVEN, Conn., December i6.—Samuel F. B. Morse, captain of the Yale 1906 foot ball eleven, in the Yale Alumni Weekly declares that it is time for Tad Jones, Y ball head coach, to take a pc similar to that which Walt held at Yale for a quarter * of eoach of the coaches, advisory coach and director field work. His statement follows “The old Yale system of graduate coaching was made possible by the fact that there was a strong adviser at the helm—Walter Camp. He was Rlways the coach's coach. The very ¥ fact that he did not have to subject | himself to the routine of daily prac- tice made it possible for him to de- Vise plays and strategy of inestima- ble value each year.

Tad Jones by this time must have convinced even the | most ‘doubting of his qualifications | for-this position.” | Morse is in business in San Fran- clsco, He is a grandson of the in- wventor of the telegraph. ‘William H. Corbin of Hartford, 1889, captain of the eleven which rolled up 597 points to nothing for Yale's op- ponents, the largest total in Yale's history, urged a continuation of the non-scouting program, which Thd Jones has introduced among Ameri ~-"an colleges. Corbin, head of the Hart- ford Chamber of Commerce, said: Wants Coaches in Stands. | ¥ “Yale ought to take a further step and request all the coaches be seated in the stands with no contact what- | ever with players except at intermi ~‘ sion. This will develop much needed leadership and responsibility on mo part of the players and will bring the | same back to an undergraduate-play- | ing contest, instead of, as it.is now, a lot of pawns being moved and| manipulated by a board of mature | strategists, and in many cases with 10 informatfon given to the player of the action taken.” Willlam O. Henderson of Columbus, Ohio, a member of the first nc\ eleyen, which met Princeton in 1573, said in the weekly that Yale owes it/ to herself to abrogate the agreement | which led to the sacrifice of Bruce | Caldwell, that freshmen showld be red stored to membership on Yale elevens and that volunteer coaching will never succeed.” He urged Yale to continue the appointment of coaches of the highest quality and experience. ““There is no good reason,” he said, | #why paid coaching should stunt per- sonal initiative or _self-reliance in members of teams. The dangers in the | ghme lie in absence of real leadership | in captains and coaches, the disturb- ing influences of college politics and; L"a want of playing harmony in teams.
