EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:-Last Saturday's game gave the college an estimate of our Eleven. And although the snap with which the forwards played and their brilliant passing was a pleasant surprise to every one, I hope you will permit me to mention in your columns one point in which our team seems to need careful coaching.

Our rush line is peculiarly uniform,-short, but quick, stocky, powerful men. Now, I don't see why these men should not make, except for purely offensive play, a better rush line than we have had for years, in spite of their light weight, if only they can be taught to tackle Low. A man runs with his legs, not with his arms; and a big Yale man will carry half a dozen of our rushers along, and yet make enough to hold the ball after three downs; when if one player had tackled him around the hips and upset him, as one can do only by getting in the way of his legs, he could not make five feet. With one or two exceptions, our rushers all jump for the neck and shoulders.-the very worst thing they could do. It is well enough against men of their own weight, but heavier men will ward them off, dodge them, or carry them along, every time. Tackle a man low (not unfairly low, of course), and get in the way of his legs, and he upsets right in his tracks, for you've got him almost below the center of gravity. Our present method of play may beat Princeton, but it will never beat Yale. I know the men don't TRY to tackle high; they get into the habit of it, because it is so effective against the second eleven, and the sort of teams we play around here, but neither does it come natural to men to row the Harvard stroke,-they have to be taught it. We don't give enough attention to theory and coaching in football here; and until we do-until, at any rate, every man on the team is coached and forced to tackle low-we shall never, never beat Yale.
