YALE’S WEAKNESS ON PASSES

Coaches Think Eleven Needs More Drilling on That Play—Open Style to Get Trial. The work of the Tale football squad thus far has convinced the coachers that the team’s weak point this year Is likely to lie ip a failure to make the most of the open style of play. The team has failed lamentably la oft-repeated attempts to gain ground by the use of the forward pass. In the Wesleyan game, the visitors had no trouble each time in intercepting the attempted pass and breaking -

up the play. In that game Tale also tried to use the on-side kick without success. While the natural thing far Tale to do might be to abandon the attempt at an open game, which never has proved of great value here, the coaches instead have determined to go ahead and try to develop the,.new football to the fullest extent.
