pbert W. Forbes, the great Yale
wl> > coached West Point last seu-
hr.s been engaged to coach the
ton football men next fall. This
itincement was made today by j
ager Ralph H. McEwen, and was
I.iiled with dellgl't by »indents and
r1 nd* «>r the t'nlvor»ity. Forbes is
r the greatest football men that
he i mntry has produced, His grid
iron car er began at Wesleyan Unl-
\ Ti'ti where he played guard and
'iickle during the seasons of 1902 and
1903, and was elected captain for
(he season of 1904. He did uot re
turn to college, however, but entered
Yale, where the year's residence rule
prevented him from winning a place
on the 'varsity.
He made the team as left tackle
tn 1905, and his work was of such a
high order that many critics gave him
a place on their All-American teams.
In 1906 Forbes was moved to end.
where he played a most sensational
game. He was generally recognized
as the greatest end that the season
produced, and was given ""
American position by Walt
Whitney, and many other wt
writers.
Cornea Highly Recomnicn
Forbes was graduated fro.
last June.
He coached the
team last season, and had rema
success.
He also assisted with the
coaching at New Haven fir the week
prior to the big game with Princeton.
He cornea highly recommend'd by
Colonel W. S Scott, superintendent of
the United States Military Academy,
as well as l>y numerous army officers
and cadets. Dan Pullen, the ex
Washington star, who played nt West
Point last season, says that Forbes is
the best-informed football man in the
Walter Camp,
United States today.
Jack Owlsley and a number o f other
Yale men also recommend' d him
highly.

Vale Mi n to Assist Forties.
Forbes was chosen by a unanimous
vote of th* athletic council from a
long list of appllcan's. An assistant
conch will b* selected from the ranks
of the Oregon alumni, nnd the policy
of bringing a number of the old plav-
• -a back nt different stages of the
season will b* continued.
Several Yal* men who nr* now liv

Intention of coining to Eugen«' for a
few days next fall to assist Forbes
with the coaching. He will be the first
Yale man to coach a Northwest team,
and will naturallv enlist the support
f all the sons of Fl! who reside In
Oregon and neighboring states.
