Head Coach R. T. Fisher '12 has this year the assistance of Major C. D. Daly '01, former head coach at West Point, as backfield coach; L. H. Leary '05, as end coach; C. A. Tierney '22, as line coach, and E. W. Mahan '16, as coach of kickers and backs. There has been much speculation in football circles as to the effect of Major Daly's presence on the coaching staff. It has been conjectured that it means an entirely renovated attack and the casting to the four winds of the traditional Crimson offense. Other pronosticators have advanced...
...line-up which Coach Mahan will send on the field today is indicative of much more than the probable, result of the game with Tufts. He has announced that Herrmann will be on the mound, with Puffer, who distinguished himself in the Yale Second team game, in reserve, and DeRham once more behind the bat. This should indicate that Spalding will see the first service when the Blue series opens in New Haven with Herrmann to start the second game on Soldiers Field...
...will start the first Yale game also shows a radical change in the policy which the University has always followed in the crucial series. It is customary to send the weaker pitcher in when the first game is on the New Haven diamond, and yet Spalding is obviously Coach Mahan's best bet for a win. The probable reason for this change in the usual procedure is that Pond is slated to start the game for Yale instead of the first string pitcher, Holibird, and Coach Mahan will take advantage of the opportunity by concentrating his force for the initial...
...least in part by this afternoon's game. The pitching problem for the two games next week remains as much an enigma as it was at the beginning of the season. Spalding seems to rate as the best Crimson hurler, as he was last year, but whether Coach Mahan will start him in the first game, hoping to get the edge at the start, or keep him for the second game, is largely a matter of speculation. The other starter will probably be either Herrmann or Toulmin, with the latter having the edge...
...less of a permanent nature. With today's game, however, it is announced that DeRham will supersede Samborski behind the bat. DeRham, who has been playing on the Second team, has been working with the University squad since the Seconds were disbanded, and it is quite probable that Coach Mahan may use him this afternoon. He was used as a pinch hitter for Spalding in the last inning of Saturday's game, and when he dons the catcher's mask this afternoon, he will be the fourth Crimson backstop to be used this season...
