Mr. Lydecker, who has played with the Crescent Athletic Club for the past two years, will continue the Syracuse system of coaching which was instituted at the University last year by Coach Herbert. The outlook for success in the coming season, and especially in the contest with Yale on May 23, is extremely bright Last year Yale had the greatest difficulty in overcoming the Crimson twelve by one point in an extra period of play.
