true alike in smaller schools and COL
leges. and the lover of the game need
have no fear that he will not have
plenty of football to occupy his at
tention.
The style of play this year will be
more open than it has been during
past years, and mass plays and line
bucking will be the exception rather
than the rule
Though this style of play is hardly
more acceptable to the players than
the former style. yet it will be of
such more interest to the spectator.
as it will enable the individual player
to be the more easily recognized from
the grandstand and bleachers and the
play to be the more easily observed
The play now obtaining will also prob
ably develop more trick plays and
double passes than formerly. as the
new rules prescribe that it shall De
ten yards in three downs instead of
five. as formerly. Obviously this will
necessitate freer style OF play. and
more attention will be paid to de-
veloping speed and quickness in the
men rather than to obtaining heavy
players.

will be scattered. The decision is
relished by the authorities. for the
local disposition is to live up to the
rules. The coaches seem to be SAN

Then came the usual hour of fast
work on the field. New material for a
team is showing up every day but
most of it is still raw or new to the
game. Many of the old men can't get
in till after Oct. Is and the outlook is
indeed dismal. There is a lack of a

this year. Mainwaring, on last years
sub list, is back and might make a
center if he could find more speed
RUDE Turner is in the game and will
try for left end. He is light, but fast
and with long high school experience
may make good. Dobies wall Just
now is My kingdom for a-center."
