That the Yale eleven as it played last Saturday was a much stronger organization than has represented the Elis so far this season seems established by the remarkable showing it made against the husky West Virginia Mountaineers. The undergraduates who had begun to fear that "Tad" Jones would not live up to their expectations, were partly consoled for the defeat at the hands of Boston College and are now hoping that their eleven will repeat its performance of 1916 when, after a mid-season defeat at the hands of Brown, it turned around and beat both Harvard and Princeton...
Reports from Yale have been none too optimistic. The material, say correspondents, while satisfactory, is not up to the mark of the days when Tad Jones was playing, or even of the 1916 squad.

The best man always gets the position on Tad Jones's team. The men on the eleven next fall will be chosen for their knowledge of football. Keep in condition and return prepared to put across the most successful season Yale has ever...
