  BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER Confidence That Coaching System With the Yale Spirit Will Retrieve Lost Mandolin the Popular Musical In strument-New England Alumni Association-Fund and Assets of Thanksgiving Recess at University New Haven. Nov. 27.-The men who have been in Yale this fall have seen history in it’s making In the after years they can point back to the time that brought the rebirth of the old Yale spirit that in the past two or three weeks has risen with such tremendous power throughout undergraduate Yale. Alumni who have been in New Haven recall nothing like the spontaneous outbursts that came from the three thousand men of the student body when the Blue eleven was in the eiumps and brought 1t back to pitch that made 1T one of the greatest ngflt- ing teams in the forty odd years of in tercollegiate football rivalry. The spir- it of Yale, which fights. unyielding, to the last ditch. was never more evident than at Soldiers field last Saturday. The team put everything 1t had into the game, and if was by sheer physical superiority that Han yard won. Yale fought a battle that every man was proud of and out Of defeat the spirit of the contest brought the satisfaction to the supporters of the Blue that they and their team had shown something that the world looks for in Yale and ! ale men. A 15–⁠5 score does not refute the coaching system that was begun last fall under Head Coach Howard Jones and his assistants. The methods that have been followed are sound, most of the football critics agree. and With Jones in charge next spring and fall the system will be still further deyel- oped. it’s weaknesses eliminated, it’s strong points emphasized. Yale IS charged with having gone back too far into the past for it’s football strategy Harvard’s plan of interference, the whole team gathered about the man with the ball, was advanced IootpalL and Yale’s method did not equal It. laeat HarKard’s backs were pefhapS no pet ter than Yales in kicking abilities, but Mahan’s strategy was little greater than that of Guernsey and Knowles, while Wilson fumbled punts for the first time of the year. Yale’s attack was successful. not to team work, but to the individual excellence or wilson and the backs. HarXardS line stood as one man and it was due to it’s sta bility that Brickley was able to kick his four field goals, 34 of which he has kicked in his three years at Harvard The game at Cambridge was an hon. orable defeat. for Harvard found team worthy of her best efforts. But it was not satisfactory, and Yale wants another score for the first champion ship same in the new bowl Ketcham is lost by graduation; 50 is Pendfe- ton. Dunn. Avery and other veterans but like Wilson. other stars may very other November. If Talbot is eligible and elected captain the team will have another leader much resembling ketcham. quiet unaSsuming, but deteF- mined and a fighter, above all clean sportsman Captain Ketcham’s stand for clean sport this fall deserves praise He forbade his players to sell their opinions to the newspapers. he refused to have his players wear num- bers in any of the games and he dis pensed with coaching from the side lines. Perhaps the Princeton game takes too much out of Yale a week be- fore Harvard: perhaps Tale was given too much scrimmaging this fall, with resultant injury to players: at all events, the situation demands attention and thought. but it is by no means discouraging, especially with the re- turn Of the old Yale spirit that in for naer years carried everything before It. For the safeguarding of the interests of the average student” the janitor of each building on the campus and oval is required to report the number of musical instruments in his respec- tive dormitory, The figures this fall show that the nandolins number go. the pianos 65. banjos 37, violins 24, phonographs A. guitars 21, Nictrolas s, banjarines 3, flutes and harmonlcas 2. Fifteen other fellows have each a different instrument, ranging from a French horn to q jeypsharp, to help swell the campus melodies.

Harward has now won Z, Yale 30. Five games have been ties. Intense bitterness was shown by the players on both teams in today’s game. AT times, in the first half, tackles were so hard that Kisses came from the stands, packed by fifty thousand spec tators. 1t was a kicking duel Harward won because it had Brickley to boot the ball Yale played better game most of the time, outside of kicking Rapid ity of its trick plays often tied Harward. Yale’s pluck was there, but Yale’s luck did not appear. The Yale line could stop Harvard attacks before the blue goal line was crossed but only amputation could have saved them from effects of Brickley’s toe. Immediately after final whistle sound ed Harvard rooters rushed upon the field while about one hundred battled for the privilege of carrying the victorious eleven on their shoulders to the dress ing rooms, where about ten thousand more, headed by band, performed the famous snake dance. Yale’s crowd remained in its seats for long time after the game was over and occasionally cheered the anties of Harvard rooters.
