Yale on the other hand, goes back to her 1916 organization, which proved successful, in which Tad Jones was the head coach and Art Brides was line coach Both Harvard and Princeton prof- ited very largely by continuing real football among the younger men dur- ing the years of the war, True, Har- vard did not play many outside games, but kept a good team tn oper- ation, Princeton went even further and developed a team that was quite | \yp to standard, And some of the men tfained in that time were among thone who made good last year. Yale, on the other hand, did practically nothing .toward development and what they did do was sporadic. That hiatus was expensive for the Blue, because in 1916 Yale had made the start towards bringing back @ compact, effective organization for her football coaching, and in spite of tho fact that at the time it looked as If tt were Impossible to turn the tide of.
