pied the same relative positions turnout most

and the center trio will be the main part of
the line to receive attention from the regular
and extra coaches with the idea in view Of
getting the defense in shape for the season.
Charlie Chadwick has been secured to assist
Rockwell and Hoyt all this week. Chadwick
saw the Yale games here last week and noticed
the weakness in the center Of the line with an
eye of laying out his work this week. 1t has
been shown by the games here that the center
and the guards have got to abandon the old-time
system Of sticking to the middle of the line to
stop plays of offense aimed by the opposing side.
With ten yards to stop plays until they have
better, opportunity to safely. try to pierce the

The advance sale OF seats makes it a foregone
conclusion that cord-breaking crowd will be
present when play is begun in the National

Anticipating that thousands must be turned
away from the gates, two local newspapers have
leased several Of the largest halls in the city
where those disappointed at the park may re-
ceive by wire prompt reports of every play
made. The two teams are in remarkably good
condition. The Nationals will go into the field
with their lineup intact with the exception of
the center fielder, slagle, whose place
will be taken by Arthur Hoffman.

Keeps Gates Shut,

The work has been behind closed gates for
the most part, and little Is known of the new
plays that Stage has up his sleeve. The secret
practice rendered necessary by the near
ness Of the Purdue game. Stage has been trying
to develop something like a system of attacked
defense for the game. with the boilermakers,
which will be decided at Marshall field Oct. 20.
Just what his plays are no one knows. He
is expected to have some offensive stunts that
will overcome the ten-yard rule. however, as he
has repeatedly stated that the problem OF the
game this year is not one Of offense, but Of
defense. 49,. 81
At the open sessions the practice stunts have
reminded the spectators of a good basketball
game, in which long passes and running catches
predominated. Plays with three, four and even
five forward passes have been used with many
fumbles. II 80 -F" 49,
Realizing that team that can handle the
ball clearly will be winner this year, Stage
has spent great deal of his time training his
men to catch difficult passes while on the run
and to handle punts rapidly necesstated by
the on-sde kick rule. AZ
The on-side kick will probably be big part
Of Chicago's offense. Stage has tried this play
repeatedly, using every man in the backfeld
to boot the ball for short distance, in order
that the ends may seize it it touches the
ground. Eckersall and Stenfen are particularly
adept in placing these kicks.
