Not since the World War has the Eli eleven been drilled by a grad- uate. Graduate coaching had not proven entirely successtul but when the veteran Jones announced his final retirement, Yale athletic au- thorities turned to Stevens as a combination of their ideals—a grad- uate and a sound student of foot- ball, More than G0 men are expected to report to Btevens September 14, according to a statement today by the Yale Athletic association. The chief problem of the coaches was believed to be in devcloping ends to take the place of Scott and Iish k who have graduated. West and Crile, substitute ends on last year's squad ,probably will be given a try as will Linehan, Hare and Snead, wingmen on the 1927 fresh- man eleven, . With Captain Mix Eddy, tackle, Green, guard, and Dud Charlesworth center—all first string men—return- ing to the line and a wealth of sub- stitute line material, Stevens should have little difficulty with that de- partment. Johnny Hopben, quarter, Garvey and Decker are returning to the backfield. Reports have been cur- ient* that an injury to Hoben's shoulder may prevent his playing this year but he is expected to re- port. Garvey, by virtue of his perform- ance during the last games of the 1927 season when he made Yale forget the loss of Bruce Caldwell, is almost assured of a place, Decker will compete with Lampe, S8aunders, Hubbard and McEwen, former subs, and Dunn, former freshman back. Billhardt, 8witz, R. Hall, Cruick- shank and Weiner will be available ot quarter should Hoben's injury force him out. Another possible quarter is Ellis a former Exeter sprinter, who was unable to play last year because of an injured knee.
