...giving T. A. D. Jones, former star and coach for 1920, a position as head coach to extend over a period of years. Captain Malcolm Aldrich and the Alumni Advisory Committee on Football joined in recommending the appointment of Jones, which was ratified by the Board of Athletic Control. "Tad" Jones played on the Yale team four years as quarterback, coming to New Haven as head coach in 1916, the year "Cupid" Black's team defeated the University.

He also realizes only too well that some of his regulars are apt to be laid out in the Princeton game, and that he may have to play men on team "B" against Yale and in any case against Brown...

Reports from Yale have been none too optimistic. The material, say correspondents, while satisfactory, is not up to the mark of the days when Tad Jones was playing, or even of the 1916 squad. Thus Yale goes back to the old cry of wolf. Here we have one sign at least of a return of that old Eli system which accomplished so much to the wailing of duly accredited Jeremiahs. Considering that Tad Jones is at the helm at New Haven, and that Johnny Field, Ted Lilley and other veteran foxes are assisting him, we will do well...
