As we have congratulated the members of the University twice before on the appointment of Mr. Haughton as head coach of the football team, so we congratulate them again today. Before, we assured Coach Haughton of the confidence of the undergraduates; today, we need scarcely say that he has won this confidence, and that it has been tried and proved.

Coach Haughton has agreed to serve for three years and will begin immediately. This arrangement will be far more satisfactory than the previous one of appointing a coach for each season, for it will not only insure the teams for three years of an unusually competent coach, but will serve to make the coaching system more permanent. It is also very fortunate that Coach Haughton is to take charge of the squad immediately, for the working out and early application of the new rules are a task that will require some experimenting and no little skill. We have no doubt that he will solve this difficulty, however, and with the material at hand for next season and the valuable aid of Captain Withington, Coach Haughton should have all the success that we wish him.
