To the Editors of the Crimson:

I wish you would correct a misapprehension which seems to be quite general as to the position of head coach of the Harvard eleven. As a matter of fact, no such importance attaches to the position as recently published statements imply. There is only one man at the head of football affairs at Cambridge, and that man is Captain Brewer. The head coach merely assists him by seeing that suitable men are found to coach the team along all needed lines, that these coaches work intelligently and in harmony, and that the consensus of their opinions on all important points is transmitted to the captain. It is obviously important that there should be a head coach, but the real work of developing the team is not to be credited to him but to the graduates whom he secures to do the work. At least, that is the way I look at it.

Yours truly,

LORIN F. DELALD.Nov. 11, 1895.
