QUARTERBACK RUN
VERY IMPORTANT
Coaches Are Slow to Real
ize Possibilities of This
Style of Attack.

Some OF the coaches who are instruct
Ing the football elevens now engaged IN
practice throughout the East appear 10
attach much importance this year TO
the quarterback run.
In the game between SWar1hmOre and
pennsylvania last Saturday afternoon
both elevens attempted IL repeatedly.
lhey were not always successful In
gaming ground, but they were more
oIten successful Than were eleVens last
season In the same play
The frequent use of tie quarterback
run IN the game was due TO the more
open defense OF the opposing side The
greater variety OF attack which Is pos
sible this year, cOmpels a less compact
formation 20 resist the advance OF the
bal, and the quarterback run has its
advantage. in that the quarter, carry
ing the ball, is likely to md an opening

The value OF a good running quarter
back Is greater this year in football than
II ever has been. A good runner. not
only means a player who can make
time. but who has the faculty Of obtain
Ing a sDTinter's start. When ShebIe, the
pennsylvania quarter. tried running with
the ball on Saturday. he could get over
the ground with sufficient speed, after
he had got into his stride, but his slow
ness In strating gave the defense time
enough 10 grasp the nature OF the hay.
For that reason he was compelled al
most always 70 run the full length OF the
scTtmmage line before he could make the
enOTt 10 turn into MS adversary's goal.
BY that time the secondary defense had
caught up with the bail. and Sheble was
doNned without making any gain. Once
or twice. or perhaps three or four times.
he was sent 10 the ground for n loss.
In watching the play or the Pennsyl-
Vania eleven on Saturday IL appeared
as II the team was Handicapped as much

Grateful Appreciation.

Is being, and will continue to be
shown by the citizens of our city and
vicinity for the fact that we have
now located in our midst one who, for
more than twenty years has given his
time to the study and treatment of
chronic diseases; one who has gained
his experience and knowledge in the
largest hospitals of New York and
other large cities of the north. Espe-
cially during the past fifteen years has
he made vast researches in the electri.
cal field, and he comes to us with all
the up-tO date electrical devices for the
successful treatment of the many chron-
ic diseases the medical profession have
conceded cannot be cured by drugs
alone.
DR.. Chas. e. McCand1iss, for this is
the name ofthis specialist, has secured
for his permanent location a suite of
rooms over the Davenport drug store.
where anyone afflicted can noW receive
electric treatment in any of its various
branches without an expensive trip to
New York or some other large city,
In connection with his other scientific
discoveries and inventions, DR.. Nc
Candliss has equipped his office with
the following latest improved electric
apparatus: Static, Faradic or Galvanic
Electricity, X-ray, Violet Rays, Ultra
Violet Rays, Electric Vibrators, Inha.
lation Apparatus, Nebulizers, Ozone
Concentrators, High Frequency Cur
rents, etc.
The Doctor pays special attention to
such diseases as catarrh, asthma, bron-
chitis, consumption, swollen joints,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, heart,
stomach, liver, kidney and bladder
troubles. Also blood and skin diseases,
cancer, tumOrs, eczema, pimples, piles,
tistula and all rectal tOubIes, and uri-
nary disorders and epilepsy, The Doe
tor also gives special attention to dis
eases peculiar to women, and for such
cases has lady in attendance. You
can see his card in another column.
