Chicago, Nov. 14.-When the pres
ent football season opened coaches
generally believed the new rules
| would necessitate change in the
style of game they had been teaching
their ends. Experience has demon
strated to them that the defensive
end rush can be played in either the
Yale or Harvard style, with the ends
playing wide or in close to the tackle.
| The duties of the end rush are SO
versatile and so important that coach
es spent much time figuring out how
these players could be placed SO as
to be of the greatest possible advan-
tage to their teams.
Yale's time-honOred custom of play
ing it's ends wide was believed at
first to be the solution of the duties
of the end rush this season under
the new rules. 1t was figured that the
end run must be kept wide of his

advantage of msplays by the Oppon-
ents, to drive the interference and
runner with the ball in toward the
tackle and defensive halfback, and to
watch out fro tricks and double pas
ses. Even those coaches who had
been using the Harvard Pennsylvania
style Of playing the ends in close to
the tackle, with the defensive half
hohin1 hin, had fipuro6 th at
they would have to send their ends
out after the Yale-Princeton style.
Experience so far as themiddle
west is concerned, shows that the
coaches have found the Harvard
style as effective and the rule appears
to be to follow that way of playing
those important positions. Coaches
who received their training at Yale
such as Stage and Williams, have
trained their ends after the Yale
style, but at Chicago, Stage has beer
gradually drawing in those men, un
til now they play close to the tackle
Williams still plays his ends wide.
so far as l can see, the general
tendency this season is to play the
ends in close for smashing interior
ence, leaving it to the defensive backs
to get the man with the ball." says

is my first season of coaching in the
west and l am interested in seeing
how the coaches out here handle this
important position"
Marvin Hart has challenged AL
Kaufman for a fight. Kaufman has
stated since his battle with Berger
that he has no intention of trying to
ge a fight with Jeffries. Il do not
think that beating Berger is enough
of feat to entitle me to challenge
Jeffries," says Kaufman.

upon his arrival there from Chicago

carriages met him at the depot and
hundreds of persons on foot and a
band of forty pieces. He was given
reception at the Peerless athletic
club.
