TALKS FOOTBALL
Assistant Coach at Illinois Gives
His Idea on the New
Rules.

Chicago Oct. 1S.-Footba11 coaches in the
middle west are just beginning to see daylight
ahead of them in working out their systems Of
attack and defense under the moa1m IN en-
bodied in the new gridiron rules. Time and ex-
perience alone can work out the problems that
confront the coaches under these new conditions,
according to the general impression OF many OF
them after working with their squads on the
field in practice and couple Of light games
to develop their ideas.
For this reason at least the play is likely
to be crude to large extent. but with another
year the plays possibly should be polished up
and football should regain its brilliant char
acteristics. . E
Clyde Matthews, who was quarterback for
Illinois back in 1900, and who is now assisting
Lindgren in coaching the Champaign team, be-
Heves that the new rules are going to work out
to the satisfaction of players, coaches and spec
tators If given sufficient time. Football this
year will Of necessity be more or less crude, y
says Matthews. "There is scarcely coach in
the country that thoroly understands the new
rules, or knows their limitations or to what
extent they can be stretched. & It will require
at least one full season of experimenting before
we will know exactly where we stand.
t'Stagg and Williams have slight advantage
over some Of the other coaches in this section
of the country, being more familiar with the
true intent of the new rules, for they heard
them discussed from every angle at the sessions
60 over these rules when Walter Camp was
here, but new situations and conditions OF
which we had never thought are constantly
cropping up and on which we have no authori-
tative ruling. Thus we are left to 60 along as
best we may, and we may be wrong in our
Interpretation. It is these things that re-
quire to work out in the new system
Walter e. Mccormack, former coach at North
western, has been chosen by Michigan and I'LL
nois to oficiate as umpire in the game between
! those two schools at Ann Arbor on Saturday,

services Of, Mccormack as umpire or linesman
for its game In PHILADELPHIA on Nov II with

Watson, the crack broad jumper and football
player, was stolen by Chicago after attending
the University Of Illinois month made to-
day in the Daily Illini the local college paper.
1t is not charged that Watson received any
compensation to induce him to desert the local
institution, but undue influence Is freely
charged against the maroons. In the face of
the sweeping denial by Coach Stage, the local
statement caused sensation.
Featured in the statement is declaration that
Watson himself said that ''Stagg had promised
to take care of him. It is charged that be-
sides the Schommer and Watson cases, Page, q
former Lewis Institute athlete, went east and
! entered Cornell only to desert and enter Chi
cago. Assistant Coach Speik of Chicago is de
clared to have made several efforts last summer
to induce Watson to come to Chicago.
Another feature Of the statement is to the ef
feet that Schommer, after leaving Illinois last
fall, declared on several occasions that he go
his board free at the Midway institution.

result was encouraging. G. K: Earl and Waters
played with dash and spirit and a snappy

HEAVY SCHEDULE
FOR PILLSBURY
Prospects Are Bright for the owa-
tonna Academy Eleven
This Year.

HOwatonna Mimi, Oct 1s.-PiIlsbury academy
has arranged for a game with Wisconsin Bust
ness university, to be played at La Crosse. This
will be one Of the hardest games Ter entered
into by the academy, but, after the magnificent
showing made against Blue Earth, the Pillsbury
people are not hesitant about taking on the
W. B. U. people The Wisconsin school has
one of the strongest teams in its state, and
always has schedule calling for games with
the strongest colleges and universities OF its
section. The game will be played on Nov. II.
The completed schedule Of the local team is
as follows:
Oct. 2O-Mankato Commercial college at Nam
kato.
Oct. 27-Carleton college at Mortified.
Nov. 3-Northfeld high at Owatonna.
Nov. 1G-Deaf mutes at Faribault.
Nov. Nv. B. U. at La Crosse.
Nov. 24-Reserved for either Ham1ine univer-
sity or one of the twin city high schools.
The victory over Blue Earth last Saturday
was the cause of much jubilation. The Blue
Earth team had not suffered defeat in three
years previous to this, and came to Owatonna
confident of winning. Both teams realized that
the game for the undsputed championship
of southern Minnesota and played their hardest.
The Blue Earth people played a plucky game and
won the admiration of the local players and
rooters by their clean work and neryy playing.
But they were up against system which could
not fail and naturally they lost the game.
A Few Surprises.
One was the good work of Morton at quarter.
He went in at the second half and ran his
team to victory, with the score standing against
! them when he entered. This does not deterior-
ate in the least Middlebrook's good work. The
latter played good game during the first half
and ran off his plays well, but he under
the handicap Of q spratned ankle, swollen to
nearly twice its normal size, and could hardly
do himself Justice.
Peterson in this game or was accidentally
showed into tree at the side Of the field with
sufficient force to have killed an ordinary man.
But, after a few moments time, he returned
to the game and played one Of the hardest
games of the year. Ober, a new man at foot
| and looks good for left end Dunton is again
| out, altho his knee is troubling him still. Nal
colin Jones was out the first Of the season for
an end position and apparently made good but
| has not been out of late.

Of the line, and he is playing good game, a
repetition of last years work. Nuessle L. doing
the greater part Of the puntfng this year. Ran

at guard. On the whole the team now looks

series of victories. Not having suffered defeat
for two years, the team is naturally anxious
| to keep up lis record this year. altho the pres
ent schedule is perhaps the hardest ever attempts
ed by preparatory school in this state.
Colquhoun is now the captain OF the team.
Cox was taken i'll and obliged to return to hli
home in Minneapolis.
