Trould rattle around in their cleated shoes with lots of room to spare But the Yale system of coaching and training has been successful in hammering raw material into shape and with the teuweeks of hard work it is safe to say that Yale will put into the field an eleven Creditable and well drilled eTen though it may hotrbe as strong as lalst year Everyone of the old men ought to way better

been received at Berkeley to assist the football eleven in learning to tackle The object which is called a tackling bag came from the East and is the first one on this coast The bag ft five feet long and about a yard around It is made of leathery stuffed with half and covered with cloth It is held in place by a rope and tackle and by rneans of these is raised and lowered and moved from side to side Under the bagr which is hung in the center of the gymnasium triat tresses are placed and the football players range themselves in line As the bag swings forward they run toward it and erasp it in their arms just below the waist line of the hag MfiMagee tnahipalatesf thepulley and iust as the runner is about toseue the baghe jerks ithp or down or to one sidai There is pb calculating ia which direction he will tern the bag and tbe runners has to be quick of wit and of motion in order to catch itT This Is repeated dozens of times eachiiay afid the Berkeley men are learning to he quick and not to be misled byrapid dodges The bag is about the size of a man and when in motion it swings very rapidly Already the cloth cover is slightly worn between the waist and knee line Mr Maeee thinks that this practice will nut ah end to all foul tackles and will teach the men to tackle low It will also put a stop to that sort of tacklihg above the waist which only lessens the speed of the runner
