FOOTBALL COACHING.

Dissatisfaction, however evident, will be of no avail unless its effect appears in the plans for another season. As a rule the captain appoints the coach, and, although he may attempt to follow a certain policy, his choice will necessarily have in view the success of his own team or his personal inclinations. We should do well to secure one of the best graduate players of each season to coach the next team, but the choice of both head coach and field coach should not lie entirely with the captain. A suggestion which we print in another column is one of the best attempts to solve the problem which has been offered. The Athletic Committee is obviously not much better qualified to select a coach than the captain; but this committee could surely pick a number of graduate football players who would be more permanent than the body which appointed them, and who would insure a more unified and less spasmodic coaching system than we have enjoyed in the past.
