  POOR TAD JONES SOON TOL0SE JOB AGAIN Annual Pastime Of Firing Yale Coach Begins Among Alumni. NEW YORK. Nov 23-The jolly old pastime Of firing Tad Jones NJ Yale has begun all over again. this time just two days before the Harward game. Tad has been let out, his contract torn across the middle. for a consideration of course. and a new head coach all ready to say IL on the dotted line. You don’t believe It? Ask any graduate. who sits around the fires,de at the Yale Club. He is several hundred miles removed from the scene Of activities at New Haven and, therefore, knows all about them. Jones, he DOESN’T WIN the Harvard game Saturday. This done, all will be forgiven until next year. BY that time, Tad IAN get ready to have himself fired all over again. 1t has become an annual custom, like meeting the income tax collector half way and washing behind the ears. Singularly enough, the decision TO get rid Of Jones. seldom II ever. comes up for consideration before the football committee at New Haven. The committee. in fact, is often the last TO learn Of II. II is the Yale alumni that IL IN imical to Jones. They contend. and with some reason. that he has had remarkable material since he re. turned to control Yale football in 1920, vet has had nothing to show for II beyond one victory over Princeton in the three seasons he has coached the team. Wherefore. they gain much satisfaction In firing him everv year. This time they feel particularly aggrieved. They Travelled down to Princeton In high feather, say Yale outgained Princeton. led In first downs by thirteen to five, and lose on the score board by 3 to 0. This rather sour performance has generated some real activity among Yale men in New York. They are now honestly and candidly out after Jones’ scalp, and there is a serious question OF doubt as to whether Tad will be able to make his contract stand up for the year II. has to run II he fails to beat Harvard. Some have even gone 80 far as TO wheedle Greasy” Neale. coach at Washington and Jefferson, into u receptive frame OF mind. Neale, of course, Is quite unaware of the fact. They have neglected TO inform him that he is to be wheedled. AS a matter Of fact, Neale prob. ably is as near the Yale bowl as he ever will be, unless his w. and J. team hanpens to go there to play a football game. Yale never has had anyone but Yale man at the head Of It’s football. and. barring an up heaval In policy and Precedent. never will have any other. Neale, II we remember correctly. is a grad. uste Of some college In West Virginia~ Another New Haven objection would be raised on the score that Neale’s coaching IL a one-man systenn. Others may be tolerated on the premises as suggesters; he bosses. That would be popular around the Yale bowl; yes, indeed, popular as a fallen arch.
