MICHIGAN TEAMS AND
THEIR FREAK SIGNALS
Polish Seminary Teams Captain Directs
Men In His Own Tongue.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov 6.-The mysti-
Tying effect of the signals which the
Polish seminary teams captain gave in
his own tongue in the game against the
Eastern High school is an example of the
great advantage accruing to a team
which is able to substitute for the code
of numbers its actual equivalent in Ian
guage, Ineligible to the members of the
team giving them, but Greek to their
opponents
For several years there has been an
eleven of Indians at the Mt Pleasant
government school that has regularly
worked woe to most of the opponents
that have come their way, this result
being attained very largely by the ex-
elusive use of the aboriginal tongue
throughout the game, instead of the
signal code. When the Quarterback
wanted plunge into the line, the In
dian name of the player to carry the
ball and the place where the assault was
TO be directed were alone necessary and
there was no Interpretation called for
before the play could be figured out.
.Douple pass IN OJlbwa was just as I'M
!1 ioa to the opposing team as
Probably the most unique method of
signals is, however. employed at the
dumb at Flint. which regularly sup
ports a team that compares fayorably
in prowess with any scholastic aggre-
cation in the state.
The quarterback is mute and cannot
call his signals, even if the other mem
bers of the team could hear him, SC
the deaf and dumb alphabet is en-
ployed throughout The eleven line
up in their positions without a muir
muir. Momentarily, before each play, ev-
cry member of the team straightens UP
and looks at the captain. There is sec
ond of lightning work on his fingers
raised high above his head, the men
brace to their positions. the ball is
snapped and the play is on.
Another peculiar feature of the game
at the Flint school is the roofing by
the inmates of the institution. This is
entirely noiseless.
Following a long run or an inspiring
tackle the boys and girls on the side
lines run madly up and down the field
waving banners and demeaning them
selves much after the manner of other
high school lads and lasses-but with
out a shout The effect is about the
weirdest thing ever seen at a football
game. especially to one accustomed to
the wild shouts of joy and systematic
cheering found in all other schools and
colleges on similar occasions
