...year in the subject of amateur coaching in American collegiate circles generally, but whether I am correct in this impression or not the matter is certainly one which in the course of the next few years is going to demand considerable attention on the part of Harvard men. It would be well, in view of this fact, to acquire as much information as possible about the practical workings, the advantages, and the drawbacks of the system of amateur coaching as employed in the English universities. The purpose of this article is merely to contribute certain first impressions toward the eventual...
...professional coaching (though it must be remembered that in cricket as in other sports the captain performs many of the functions of the American coach). But there are several features of the coaching of both varsity crew and varsity rugby teams, to take the most prominent examples, which would generally, I think, be more closely associated in our minds with a professional than with an amateur regime.

The Blue mentor stated that he would start, Albie Booth, Yale's injured flash at quarterback with Harlan Ellis, Ned Austen and Don McLennan as running mates. Inasmuch as this backfield has virtually never been together, some have aired their doubts as to whether Stevens actually means to start it. The only possible alternative seems to be McLennan at quarter with Snead, Miller, and Dunn at the other posts...
