Now that the 1927 gridiron sanaon is ended, let ns look ahead for a moment to next full, before bidding football “au revoir." In the East, some high class freshman material was apparent and undoubtedly varsity conches of 1928 will profit thereby. The freshman material was of good quality because prep school coaching has Improved, Just as college coaching generally has Improved, us a result of Increased interest in football and a corresponding increase in gate receipts. The two best teams in the East this fall were Yale and Princeton. Yale will be hard put to keep its place, if “Tad" Jones persists in his intention to resign, a new head coach must step in and take charge at New Haven. In the next, Yale loses such stars as Captain Bill "Wabater, A1 Foote, llruce Caldwell, Bill Hammersley, Cox, the regular fullback, and two of the best ends who ever flanked a line at Yale, Stew Scott and Dwigh* Flshwick. “Ked" Quarrier also will graduate, and a number of others who played on the varsltv this fall are seniors. As a nucleus for a 1928 eleven, Yale will have Charlesworth, Eddy and Greene in the line and Hoben, Decker and Garvey in the back field. Princeton on the cotrary, suffers little through next spring s sheepskins. Bill Roper developed a great team this fall, and will have it intact for next season, save for his quards and one end. Captain Moeser. right end, graduates, but Stinson, who alternated at left end with Lawler, was just about as good a wing man. Joe Caldwell, best of Princeton guards, who was out during the latter part of the season, will be back next fall, so Roper has little to worry about. Wittmer, Baruch, Miles, Norman and 26 other varsity players will be available in 1928. The Tiger's prospects are bright. Knute Rockne, out of Notre Dame, loses ten first-string men through graduation. But Knute long since has, developed a system whereby his second team of this year is next fall's first string line-up and so on. There need be no tears shed over Rockne’s iosses Notre Dame is to have a new stadium costing millions. Presumably Knute will give the school another milion dollar team. Tt will be interesting to see which of this fall’s stars succumb to the lure of C. C. Pyle's dollars and join the ranks of professional football players. The promoters must keep their hands off until after graduation. It is no secret that they have their eyes on Bruce Caldwell and others, and are waiting with ill-concealed impatience for Commencement Day, next June. A Brave Swan-Song Few football coaches who announce in advance of a season their intention of retiring at its close enjoy the privilege of guiding such a successful team at “Tad" Jones turned out at Yale this year. During his nine seasons as head coach at New Haven, Jones has had his lean years and his fat years. He has been rather more criticized than praised. "Tad” will doff his mole-skins and return to his coal business with a sigh which contains as much relief as regret. This year’s Yale eleven was by all odds his best effort. Defeat at the hands of Georgia before the season was fairly under way deprived Captain Bill Webster's men of a clean slate, but they won all their other games, defeating Brown. Dartsmouth, Army, Princeton and Harvard in most convincing fashion. “Tad” Jones has every reason to be satisfied. Great pressure has been brought upon him to continue in charge of football affairs at New Haven. If he does quit, he will leave on a high note of success. His swan-song will have been a melodious one. Jones was head coach at New Haven for nine seasons. Os his good elevens before the present year’s production, one recalls "Cupid” Black's 1916 team the last coached by “Tad” until after the war. His temporary absence from gridiron affairs did not improve Jones' luck with Yale teams, and it was not until 1923 that he produced another winner. Bill Mallory’s big Blue team was unbeatable, and capped a successful season by defeating Harvard, 13 to 0, in Harvard Stadium. This was the year of deluge, when the playing field became a quagmire and "Ducky” Pond gobbled up a loose ball and waddled across the puddles for the first touchdown Yale had scored at Cambridge in 17 years. The following year, “Tad" sent out Lovejoy's eleven to win the championship of what at the time was the “Big Three.” The eleven captained by Bill Webster and numbering among its stars such men as Bruce Caldwell, Jonny Garvey, Bill Hammersley, Johnny Boben, “Red” Quarrier, Dwight Flshwick Stew Scott and “Dud” Charlesworth, was the best turned out at New Haven

since the war. It was the brainiest Yale eleven I . ever saw in action; the most alert; the one which suffered least from fumbles and such misplavs. The greatest of that great forward I line, which when nil was said and done, made possible the running, passing I and kicking of the tanks, was "Dud” ; Charlesworth. ; And now Charlesworth lies In a ltosf pltal, Ills ankle shattered in the clos- - itig moments of the Harvard game, possibly crippled for life. It may be that Charlesworth's ini jury, a fracture and dislocation of thd ankle, may prove less serious than i than. It will be a tragedy if it is not. Here was a man who bore the brunt i of opposing offensives all season, who hurled back play after play with his i broad shoulders, who was ever alert to I pounce upon fumbles and loose balls, . and who had starred through three--1 quarters of the Harvard game, suddenI ly stricken down in the simplest sort of an accident, his ankle broken beI neatli a pile of unwitting players. > Little incidents like this make us . count the cost of football, much as we love the game. —i o Cubs Trade Adams And Scott For “Kiki” Cuvier Chicago, Nov. 29— (INS) —There were smiles and tears today over news of the baseball trade which sends Dozen "Kiki” Cuvier of the Pittsburgh Pirates to Chicago in exchange for little "Sparky" Adams and Floyd Scot, of the Cubs. The Smiles were for Cuyler, that temperamental young batting and fielding genius whose talents wasted away on a bench through most of last year's hectic pennant race and through all of the dismal World Series. The tears were for Karl "Sparky” Adams, the gamest and most loveable little diamond warrior that 1 ever lugged a bat to home plate. Sparky has wormed his way into the hearts of the Cubs fans as no plare • ht;s dor ? in recent years, with the possible exception of Grover Cleveland Alexander. now the property of the St. Louis Cardinals. It is certain he will be welcome and liked in Smoketown. In this connection Chicago's loss is Pittsburgh's gain. Scientific Institute The British academy Is in Burlington house, London.

Fashion Always Changing Whenever u woman's head is shown on a coin of the lute Roman period, elaborate yvavlng, similar to modern marcellng, is evident. Before and after the Roman period there is but a trace of waving, which indicates that fashions changed in those days as they do now.

This perfume consisted of “sweet spices, stucte, onycha and galbanum.” These were all aromatic herbs or gums.
