Yale News Comment. Yale torially on the change, caption. “The Football says this morning: “In 1910 the Yale football team was defeated by West Point 9 to 3, played a scoreless tie derbilt, 21 to 0. In the Brown game and the Princeton game the team was virtually reor- ganized. An almost impregnable de- fense and an entirely new offensive was built up- Princeton was defeat- ed 5 to 3, and the Harvard team, rec- ognized as the best team that had represented Harvard in many years w held 0 to 0. It is doubtful if any higher in the esteem of Yale men than the team of 1910. In the face of an adverse season, fighting against tremendous odds, they did football expert déemed possible.

Yale out-charged out-blocked, out-tackled her oppon- ents. Today Yale is being beaten at her own game. She is not playing Yale football. “The present coaching system has been accorded the loyal support that Yale undergraduates traditionally give to the men selected to coach ‘their teams. They rely upon the su- perior judgment of the graduates and the undergraduate captain in choos- ing them, and they realize that their part in helping to build up a winning system is to back up these men, to support them in every way possible, and above all, to refrain from criti- cism.

Princeton vs. Harvard, In the old days Princeton was ac- customed to beating Harvard at will. Beating Harvard was one of the soft- j est Nassau assignments each year. But that procedurc changed with the advent of Haughton—and a regular system. Since Haughton arrived Princeton has bagged one victory—in 1911—but the last three campaigns have turned the Tiger upside down. Now, after a three-year wait, or rather after a four-year wait, Princeton next Saturday will take another drive at the thick, red line, bouyed up by a growing hope. Quite a Game. This Princeton-Harvard affair of the Saturday ahead should be one of | the great football battles of the year. | It should furnish a greater number of thrills than any other one occasion. For there will not only be a meeting of two fine elevens, but, added to this, a meeting between Fddie Mahan and Dave Tibbott, two of the backfield stars of the 1915 war. And it would be surprising in no sense to sec these two decide the issue of battle, for the margin of a field goal is more than likely to decide the ultimate count. Rush, like Haughton, has made a strong play for fundamental football— good, hard tackling and blocking— | the old-fashioned stuff, that seems to have faded in so many instances since rew football came in. In view of these better coached fundamentals we doubt that either Princeton or Har- vard will be able to make a,touch- down, which leaves the issue to the major toes of Mahan and Tibbott.

If summer baseball is permitted, can there be any dividing line or stopping place that will keep cut the out-and-out professional? R. J. H. The philosopher who can unravel the complexities of this summer base- ball problem will be entitled after death to sit with the ghosts of Plato and Aristotle. We confess freely that it is a number of leagues beyond our limited philosophy and reasoning powers. Both sides have a strong case to present; but the main wean- ness now lies in the muddled con- ditions of affairs, where so many dif- ferent regulations are in vogue. What ic needed is some standard agreement right, we do not know. Whether or not it is a source of strength to Yale, we do not know. In the long run no doubt it is. In this particular crisis, however, to continue to profess a confidence which no one feels is hypocrisy, too hold to be tolerated- Facts, no matter how unpleasant must be faced.
