PUN TERS WILL

Coaches Are Wondering What New
Plays Will Be Sprung by Rivals,
and Anticipate Low
Scores

Special to The Herald,
ST. LOUIS. Sept, 22.-What is to be
one of the features of football under
the new rules is the great emphasis
which coaches everywhere have de-
cided to place on kicking. A consistent
distance punter promises to be about
the most valuable man on the team,
and he who can outkck all his rivals
is virtually sure of his place on the
team, even if he be inferior in other
respects.
To make certain that this sort of
game would be properly developed the
leading institutions last spring held
special punting contests for their
players. and many Of the men were in
structed to take footballs home with
them on their summer vacations and
there to practice punting' and drop
kicking.
The real reason for emphasizing the
kicking game Is not that good kick
Ing Is 10 be rewarded any more than
IL ever was. 1t Is merely because the
new rule requiring the ball TO be ad-
vanced ten yards to three downs will
so frequently put team i'm such a
plight that a team viii be required to
kick much oftener. and long punting
will mean more than 1t ever did,
And under such circumstances II Is
to be regretted that there are few first
class punters IN any Of the eastern coll
leges. In fact, the east has not been
able to boast of any good kicker since

A group of occasional bettors on the

when they heard of The Huguenot'

This group of once-in-a-while Wash

A Washingtonian who follows up the

word down here, about six weeks be-

two years. and most of the followers

I'LL post time and got the money down

home without ever being let down.
When the members of the pool in
Washington found out, that night, that
the old horse had delivered the mer-
chandise with the 40 to chalk about
him, they were sure that some mistake
had been made.
They were certain that the price
should have read to 1, and they con-
sidered even that figure big one in
view of the circumstances of the race.
The man who had got the money
down at the track took the midnight
train home, however, and he dug his
mates out of bed and handed them
their respective cuts of the $4,000 win

occasion to look bit blue when they

Bill Cowan Cashes in for $4,000
On the same day-when The Hugue-

But the poor supply of kickers is
not due to the fact that good kickerS
could not be developed. 1t is rather
due to lack of attention paid to TINS
department of the game. Now that
there is premium placed ON gooo
kicking, we may expect TO see a most
of good kckers turned out in all the
eastern colleges.
Furthermore, the rise in the standard
of punting will be followed by similar
rise in the standard of drop kicking.
Both of these changes will be most
welcome to the followers of the game.
New Plays In Order
An unusual amount of interest is be-
ing displayed by coaches to learn what
style of game other coaches are think
ing of employing under the new rules.
1t is safe to say that because of the
radical changes there will be more new
plays and formations sprung this fall
than in the entire previous history of
the game
The new rules will make 1t absolutely
necessary for the coaches to use their
inventive ability, and good many of
them have been laboring over new
plays for good part of their summer
vacations Naturally, good many of
the new plays will have to be discarded
as useless, for their availability cannot
be properly tested except In a real
game.
The Yale coaches seem to have taken
the most advanced steps in solving the
new plays which can and should be
used this fall. The Ellis held an unusu-
ally long and thorough practice last
spring and the players mastered a good
many points about the new style of
football.
The presence of Walter Camp, the
editor of the new rules enabled the
Yale men to understand good many
points In advance OF the other teams.
Just what the Ellis propose to spring
this fall no one knows to certainty.
But information has leaked out OF one
peculiar formation on which the most
time was spent In practice last spring,
In this formation there were ten men
on the line of scrimmage, the only one
behind II being the quarterback. II eau

used to such good advantage by the
Carlisle Indians.
The play is. capable of a great many
tricks, criss-crosses and cross-bucks.
1t should be motel, however, that this
formation was just as feasible under
the old rules as under the new. Under
the old rules coaches apparently did
not think it necessary to use their in
genuity.
Now they are applying all their abil-
ity to the new rules, and as result
there ought to be much real progress
made in the matter of new and original
plays.
Low Scores Anticipated
Almost by common agreement coaches
everywhere are looking for small scores
this year. The new ten-yard rule will
cut down the scoring ability of team
nearly one-half This is not theory. but
has been demonstrated in games played
under the ten-yard rule. The Michigan
team, which was accustomed to roll up
scores of 100 points and more in a single
game and more than 500 in a single sea-
son, will not repeat these performances.
Yost's men must now content them
selves with small scores, and II the
teams are evenly matched it may be
no score at all.
Every well equipped university eleven
this fall will have one or two coaches.

plays. AT Yale this office Is performed
