Fay was signed four weeks ago for the fight with Stiibling.

Stribling's most recent fight, I Greenville, S.

resulted in a knockout in the fourth round over tough old Fay Keiser. Keiser might hav been easily outpointed by Stribling but to knock out a veteran of th caliber of Keiser was considered an accomplishment that shows Stribling to be throwing a harder punch thaa before he let up on his ring activities to enter the University School for Boys, in Atlanta, in September.

I. (TAD) Head Coach, Yale University. In nearly every well-balanced struggle football or other there comes a stage when victory and defeat hesitate a bit before ranging themselves with this side or that. Until this moment arrives one contestant may have built up an apparently winning margin ac.d still know that its success is not assured, while the other, though outplayed and left behind in the scoring, is not prepared to nccpt the loser's portion; but once it passes, the result no longer is in doubt and both parties to the fray are conscious of tbe fact. In baseball this moment comes with the one "big inning;" in the boxing contest it accompanies the punch that weakens one ringster and the way to his knockout; in football it trips in on the heels of the touchdown or field goal which produces a total of points above which the opposition cannot hope to climb.

Sometimes, of course, two opponents are so closely matched that a draw results. Hut mostly this is not the case. The crucial stage, when victor anu vanquished are decided, is as inevitable as the final whistle Greatest Strategy. In my recollection no moment was more fraught with decisive possibilities than the one which ticked off at the start of the second half of the battle between Yale and Princeton at New Haven November 1907. With it developed the greatest football strategy I ever have seen.

Being stationed at quarterback for Yale, 1 had, of course, a first-class opportunity for watching the play unfold. As it came on the kick-off, 1 was standing almost under our own goal posts, did not actually participate in it, and so was as free to" observe as any spectator. Princeton Gets 1ead. The Orange and Black and the Bulldog were well matched that year. But at the and of the first half this was not clearly apparent.

Princeton, with a touchdown by Fullback McCormick and a goal afU touchdown, together with a field goal by Uef. Halfback Harlan, had gathered a total of 10 points. It was apparent mat Yale would have to come back strong in the second half ers'e the d'angerons Tiger lead. At the start of the game we had in troduced au innovation in the defense Once in a while one runs across a family engaged in much the same line of business, but the Beckett family as golfers is just about complete in the matter of singleness of business purpose. Four Beckett brothers, one of them Howard Beckett, professional at the Brookhaven Country club, Atlanta, recently met for the first time in several years when a tournament was held at Princess Anne Country club at Norfolk, Va.

All were entered in the tournament. The fofur Beckett brothers, all golf as shown here, are, left to right: Walter Beckett, pro at the Norfolk Country club; Jack Beckett, pro at a country club in New Jersey; Perry Beckett, Boston professional, and Howard Beckett, pro at Brookhaven, Atlanta. Atlanta this week after spending a week with his brothers following the tournament. Howard Beckett will return to I arry fay arrives today from Louisville for his battle Thanksgiving night when he will try to wrest from -Young Stribling the light-heavyweight championship of the south. He will workout late this afternoon in the gymnasium of tbe Southern Athletic club in the Kimball House to begin his final work for the Stribling meeting AVith the arrival of Fay Stribling will continue his, tapering-off work that he started yesterday with a workout considerably lighter than that of Friday when he went 12 full 2-minute rounds in shadow boxing, against the punching bag and three sparring partners.

Four days before the big battle advance sales of seats have -run up until a record crowd "for a Stribling fight in Atlanta is easily probable. Jake's place in the Kimball House lobby, where the pasteboards are on sale locally, reported Saturday night that a general rush for the tickets started Saturday morning eclipsing any demand so far since they have been put on sale. Big Gate Indicated. Reports from the local sale center and an increase Saturday in mail orders received by Matchmaker Holt Gewinner of the American Iegion at the Southern Athletic club combined to indicate a house that will have at least in it. This will be remarkable in view of the fact that the top price on the encounter is $:.

The last Stribling fight before this had a top ringside price of S. and the house only reached the mark. Thursday night's fracas in the Auditorium promises to be Stribling's hardest scrap since his engagement in Philadelphia five or six months ago with Ad Stone. That was tbe fight when the decision was in question, with both sides claiming an edge. Fay is considered ns tough an adversary as Stone was and with a fight with Mike McTigue for the light-heavyweight championship of tbe.

But all's well that ends welt commended for the way they handled and all of the Yale backs are to be the ball.

The Line-up and Summary. i h.

line. The center who on this day happened to tie jonguon was. placed slightly to the rear, midway between right end and right tackle The six-in-line formation since has become orthodox, but as we used it against Princeton it was not a success. It had been designed to meet the menace of end runs, in which the lijht, speedy Tiger backs, Harlan and Tibbott, specialized, and which had won all Princeton's games for it. But Dillon, the Tiger quarter, was qmc! 1 Some coaches drive their men, some pat them on the back and jolly thena along and some do like Jones in their quest for victory.

Jones relations with his men is best illustrated by a story told by himself. During the Yale-Brown game of 1923 he wished to try out a new play. To do so he withdrew tjuarterback Stevenson, transferred Neidlinger from half to quarter and sent in Murphy to take Neid-linger's place. Murphy took with him a message to Neidlinger to try the new formation, a fake and end play which was to be used later against Princeton and Harvard. Under the rules Murphy could not deliver his message until after one play had been mafle.

On this play, however, Neidlinger's strategy resulted in a touchdown. Jones watched in vain thereafter to see the execution of the new strategy. The game ended in Yale's favor and on the way out Murphy rushed evcitedly up to his coach. Say, he said. "I didn't give your message to Neidlinger.

He got a touchdown on his own play and I thought if his judgment, was so good what was the use of telling him what you said." Jones commands something from his players that counts, and that is intense loyalty founded on faith in his fairness. the Orange and Black should score again well, that would be different. Victory and defeat almost surely would have chosen their partners and chosen them for good. Jt soon was apparent that our opponents, coached by Bill Roper, had a full realization of the needs of the situation. They had, in fact, returned to the field prepared to put over a crushing and finishing play.

This de veloped at once in a dazzling and well nigh stunning strategy. The line-up for the kick-off was the usual one. We were scattered in the customary positions for receiving the ban. i'rinceton had its men deployed abreast across the field on its own 50-yard line. Quarterback Dillon was at the extreme right end of the formation.

Fullback McCormick. in the center of the line, was set to boot the ball, which rested on the 55-yard line in the middle of the field. Onside Kick. The whistle blew. Then came the thriller.

McCormick ran forward as if to kick, but the instant hi foot swung back Halfback Harlan dashed in from his left side and delivered a boot that sent the ball spinning to the right directly toward (he sideline. Simultaneously Eddie Dillon flashed down the field, running just within the sideline. He met the ball 10 yards beyond the middle of jusr as it tnreatenert to sail out or lifklirwlo a nfl ttn ri cii nnt nnal The play was a complete surprise i. uuva i ini uui to us. As it apparently was planned, it gave every promise of carrying Dillon and the ball far into our territory.

IOven a touchdown was possible. That would have been disastrous. But something entirely different took place. As the play was on Princeton's right side, and on our left, practically the whole Tiger team darted down to box aru ne would attain a tremendous fc.mi miju uur ftoai itue muuiu ie ill deadly menace. Ixigical Run.

The logic of the advance was for Dillon to continue straight along the sideline. There were two reasons for this First, he was less likely to encounter more than one Br.lldog defensive man; secondly, if the were forced out of lounds the ball still would be in Princeton's possession and could be brought 15 yards inside the field for play from a good position. The Princeton quarterback received the ball on Yale's 45-yard line. Between there and our 40-yard line something happened. Instead of keeping on a straight course, Kddie and llowmar, our right half, threw him on the 155-yard line.

What was it that caused Dillon to change his mind? I don't know. Perhaps he decided that his chance were bettered bv taking the new direction. Perhaps Right Knd Brown, who rushed down the field near him, had not given adequate interference. From my position it looked as thousrh he might have slipped and been compelled to seek a new opening. If this were the case he lost time and, of course, distance.

The ball was advanced only 20 yards instead of or 40. or even more, as had appeared possible for a time. Not a Failure. Nevertheless this splendid strategy could scarcely be considered a failure. It was only relatively so.

The point was that the Orange and Black had retained possession -if the pigskin on the kick-off and this 20 yards inside our territory. On the other hand the psychological effect upon us was tar different from that which would have been the case had Dillon added another 15 or 20 yards to his dash. In our minds the thought leaped up that Princeton had tried its greatest offensive feature of the day without getting nearer than 35 yards of our line. Furthermore the next play must be from a poor position at the side of the field. Yale Takes a Brace.

The Tigers were unable to advance another yard on successive plays Finally they worked the ball into position for a drop-kick, but Harlan's attempt was a failure. Thus passed the high tide of Princeton's expectations. Our hopes increased. Putting the ball into play on our 20-yard line, we began an irresistible march down the field. ot once did we lose the ball.

In three plays out of five Coy rushed the Tiger line. Finally, from the 4-yard line, he went over for a touchdown, carrying two Princeton tacklers with him. Goal from touchdown gave in ft points fo our opponents' 10. Things were looking up I'rinceton received the next kick-off. A series of punts anion; the plays that followed resulted ultimately in a Tiger kick being run hack some 40 or 55 ysrds to tbe Princeton 3U-yard line.

There we began our final attempt to avert defeat.

14-18 W. Peachtree I. 8204 new place-kick formation devised by Walter Camp. It was a great success. I got down 10 yards behind the line as though to receive the ball as passed back from center and hold it for Coy to kick.

Instead it was snapped directly to Coy, standing 3 yard0 in rear. He immediately set sail for right end my duty being to form interference and gained 10 yards. Game Ending. The game now was Hearing its finish, and, with the ball ours on Princeton's 20-yard ine, the stands were in a delirium. We were directly, in front of the goal posts and called the same formation as before.

It looked very much as thougn we were going to try for a field goal, which would tie the score, but this was not at all assured and Princeton was left in a state of uncertainty. As for tis, it was not our intention to play for a tied game. We were out to win. And when we repeated the new Camp formation on which Coy had made his 10-yard gain it was with variations which the Tigers did not suspect. First, center snapped the ball to me and 1 placed it on the ground, 10 yards behind the line.

Next Coy set the opposition to further guessing by swinging forward for a kick. He did kick, but it was a fake, for he swung his foot outside the ball. When he had done this, my assignment was to pick up the pigskin, turn around, run 5 yards toward right end and stop. Meanwhile Olcott. our right end, had gotten past the Princeton line and had run to a point 15 yards beyond.

There he on the ground as though he had tripped himself. Referee Spills Gloom. All this maneuvering increased Princeton's doubt as to our intentions. Oleotfs pretended fall wag The ball was hurled to bun on a forward pass aimed well above the spot where he had gone down. He immediately picked himself up, sprang into the air.

grabbed the pass and ran the remaining 5 yards to a touchdown. The score now was 11 to 10 in our favor and victory seemed assured. Our rooters succumbed to nn absolute spasm of delight. But the referee unexpectedly transformed our happiness into the bitterest gloom. He had detected holding in the Tale line and he not only returned the ball, but penalized us 15 yards.

This brought us back to the 35-yard line. It was second down and Yale had 25 yards to go. Fate seemed very much against the Blue. There was but a slight margin of time in which to act. What next to do was a problem.

The decision was in favor of the unexpected. After giving Coy the ball for a 5-yard run around end that brought ns again in front of the goal posts, we staged the same place-kick formation that had just put Olcott over the goal line. It being third down, with the Bull-dog still having 20 yards to gain, I'rinceton had good reason to expect 'a try for a goal from field. The repeti tion of the forward pass to Olcott, with the pav including even his ungraceful tumble behind the Tiger line, caught them unprepared. This time there was no offside.

Olcott dirt n't make a touchdown, but he was within a yard of one when he was thrown by McCormick. Game Won. We lined up quickly. Coy went over the line on the very first play, a ruh through center. He kicked goal and the game was won, 12 to 10.

The following week we were victorious over Harvard and championship honors were ours. But probably this would not have been the case had Princeton's strategy at the start of the second half succeeded. Had Dillon made a touchdown, or paved the way for one, the Tiger would have built np a total of points which it would have been almost impossible for us to have equaled or passed. Some little trick of fate frustrated Dillon, just as it interfered with the first forward pass that put Olcott over the line for us. The difference was that we were in a position to repeat our strategy and so gained the victory.

But I will always consider that onside kick. Harlan to Dillon, as the most thrilling strategy ever witnessed by me. BY A VKTERAN. (Copyright. 1024.

It consists of the official control of the faculty committee and the unofficial control of the alumni committee. Now my main text in these articles is that the unofficial control the alumni committee is the actual control, and tliat ccmcs pretty nearly being the nub of the whole discussion. I know there will be many to dispii te me onthis, as I Pin not dealing with obvious or easily obtainable facts, but me on this, as I am not dealing with truth of what 1 say. Here is what the faculty committee, consisting of two or three members, is supposed to do: Select the graduate manager in recent years a employee. Pass uivon selections for student managers for various teams.

See that a higu standard of schol arship is maintained by athletes. Pass upon and approve schedules, made by the coach and graduate manger. Render each year a complete public financial accounting cf college athletics. What Really Happens. Here is what the faculty committee actually does It selects the graduate manager chosen and recommended bj the alumni committee.

It approves student managers selected by roaches and alumni. It faithfully performs its duties of maintaining high scholarship standards as best it against the pressure of the coach and alumui committee. lt places a purely perfunctory O. K. on the schedules of prepared by ihe coach and the graduate manager.

It renders each year a general statement of finances, without including probably not understand the really interesting expenditures. Here is -what alumui committee is supposed to do Boost the college in every legitimate way, encourage attendance at games and lallies and do all possible to nourish loyalty and service to the school. That's loout the limit of its legitimate function. Here is what the alumni committee actually does Selects a graduate manager and gets approval for its selection from he faculty committee. Cooperates with the coach on the selection of student managers, with later faculty approval.

Contrives means of getting prnm-ising players past scholarship barriers. Cooperates with the coach and graduate manager on the preparations of schedules of games. Obtains money to do quieflv and unofficially that which cannot be done openly and officially by the faculty committee. Selects the co.ich. Maintains the silent background organization of football on a bn-iiness basis.

Boot Behind the Kick. A careful consideration of the above contrasting real and supposed functions tells the story of the irre-sistable ancroachment of alumni on college athletic control, which properly should be vested in the college It is a commonplace of general information that graduates of large or fashionable eastern colleges slids easily into metropolitan business.

If we could stop the Tiger offensive, well and good; the 10-point handicap imposed upon us in the first half was not insuperable.
