AS a elimination of the difficulties, Mr..
Woodruff resigned and announced that he
Chicago to take a place with the sporting
goods house of A. G. Spalding. but the desire
to coach was strong within the famous
tactician and after a short time he came
back to the east and signed to teach the
Carlisle Indian eleven.
1t was expected that with the feet red
skins to carry out his ideas, Woodruff
would invent all kinds of tricks The
eleven did play good foot ball, but not
enough better than in preceding seasons to
make Woodruff want the job another year.
So he made final renunciation Of foot
ball and turned his attention to his neg
lected profession.
Mr.. Woodruff had been admitted to
practice in the United States courts, all
the way up to the Supreme Court, while
he was still coaching the Pennsylvania
eleven. but he was so busy with Dot ball
that he gave little serious effort TO get
ting clients.
Foot Ball and Law.
But when he got to law in serious earnest
he found out that he was a good lawyer,
and others quickly made the same discov-
cry.
A fighter was wanted in the forest serv-
ice as law officer, and Mr.. Woodruff got
the appointment becoming chief aid to Gif
fOrG PlncnOt, the government forester. He
did yeoman service in organizing the ma
1iona forest reserve policy, and his in
dustry and ability especially commended
itself to the President, who soon discovered
that the energetic, restless, planning. hust-
ling attorney was a man of much his own
mold.
During his stay with the forest bureau
Mr.. Woodruff made a special study of TIE
public land laws and gained a reputation
as Washington's foremost expert on this
subject.
Secretary Garafield, when he went to the
Interior Department, had land thieves to
deal with, and he needed a man who would
have both the courage and the knowledge
to fight them. He decided that the former
star foot ball coach would be the man to
second his crusade, and he had Mr. Wood
ruff appointed TO the place in the Attorney
Generals force that would make him
available adviser to the Department
of the Interior.
Mr.. Woodruff is not unlike the President
in appearance. He wears Spectacles
while Mr. Roosevelt runs to eyeglasses
but the shade of the faces, with the
prominent teeth, the mustache and the
expression of restless energy are not un-
like.
The acting secretary is not man to
evade responsibility, and during his brief
incumbency there is no danger that the
work of the department will be retarded to
even a small degree.

Following his established preference for
ATHLETIC men, President Roosevelt has made
q former foot ball coach Secretary of the
Interior
OF course, 1t IS only a temporary appoint
mt that goes 10 George w. Woodruff for
mer developer of Penn and Carlisle Indian
elevers for Secretary Garfield still has his
Job.
But while Mr. Garfield is away on his
vacation the inventor Of that piece of foot
ball strategy known as guardsback will
have full authority in the department.
President Roosevelt didn't find IT entirely
easy to get Woodruff in authority He was
not in the regular order to act for Secre-
tary Garfield and Assistant Secretary Ryan,
for the law provides that in the absence OF
the Secretary and his first assistant the
other assistant shall discharge the duties.
Secretary Wilson is this assistant, and in
the natural course of events he would have
assumed fun power.
But instead, President Roosevelt issued
an order designating Mr.. Woodruff as acting
Secretary Of the Interior.
Mr.. Woodruff is one of the five assistants
to the Attorney General, and he is connect
ed with the Department of Justice, though
his assignment Is to give advice 10 the De-
partment CT the Interior In matters where
legal points are raised
In his present dual position, by reason of
his connection with both departments, Mr..
WoodrUfT has the amusing power OF formu-
lating policies which he recommends 10 the
Secretary Of the Interior, and as he now
holds that office he adopts the measures
which he started I'm the other department.
Mr.. Woodruff is not only foot ball coach.
He is an ail-around athlete, and 10 recog-
nized as a tennis player Cf some preten
sions. 1t has been his good fortune TO be-
come n member OF the famous tennis cabi-
net, which includes many of the Presidents S
friends, some of whom are famous for lav
ing made most unexpected and notable ad-
EduCSS.
The acting Secretary of the Interior is
about the same age as the President. and
was at Yale at the same time Mr.. RooSe-
welt was student at Harvard.
But Mr.. Woodruff rs a college man had a
career that palcl Mr.. Rooaevelts.
Excepting that he gained some little rep
utati0n as boxer, Roosevelt never shone
as an athlete while at college. 1t was not
until after he had graduated and gone
west that he gained his present sturdy phy-
sique.
An Exceptional Athlete.

the varsity crew. He captained the crew
of 1Se9
After finishing his classical course at Yale
Mr.. Woodruff went to the University of
Pennsylvania to study law, and 1t was here
that he made his reputation as one of the
foremost foot ball tacticians of his day.
When he took hold of foot ball the uni
versity was minor college in all forms of
athletics. The foot ball eleven hardly af-
forded good practice for the teams of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton. and used to sus-
tain defeats of anywhere from seventy to
one hundred for their opponents, with a
cipher for the Penn score.
The new coach quickly changed all this,
and in the space of a couple of seasons
Pennsylvania had eleven that beat Prince
ton. Harvard and Cornell, and only lost to
Yale after a hard game.
Its success was due mainly to the new
ideas Woodruff brought into use. He had
seen that instead OF letting a man run ua-
protected with the bal much greater pro-
gress could be made # in front of him ran
two or three of his teammates whose duty
it was to ward off tGcklers and leave the
man carrying the bail free to make long
runs.
This was the beginning of interference.
and out of Interference as a natural evo-
luton came massed play. The first fruit
of massed play was eEards-back. In this
play one of the guards was taken ,out Of
the lire and put nack of the guard who
remained in the line. Back of the pair
were two of the back field men, the line Of
four making such a powerful ram that no
defense could withstand its powerful i'm
pact and the team that had the right kind
of guards and stuck to this play could not
lose.
Years Of Success.
When men like Wharton, Wiley Woodruff
brother of the coach: McCra acken and Hare
were playing guard at Penn the team
went through four years of unbroken sue
cesses.
Out of guards back came tackle-back and
all the other variations, for all had the
same underlying principle.
So effective did these plays become that
teams stuck to them religousy, until final
~ foot bail became monotous through sue
ceSsion of nlassed play. To abolish this
powerful b2tteTing- ram style OF game the
rule makers We're forced to draft legisla-
ton that makes II Illegal to take a guard
out OF the line.
But guards-back was not Wooiruffs only
contribution TO foot ball strategy. He in
vented the quarterback kick, the delayed
pass the double pass and other trick PLAYS
that have been used ever since for good
gains.
Woodruff had career OF success for five
wears at Penn, then a time came when the
quality of candidates fell off, and he nc
into effect. The result was a long success

men are preparing to turn out in force

memorial at Tipperary.
Plans for the unwilling have been
going forward for a long time and it is
believed that tomorrow's demonstra-

recent years.
1t is eminently fitting that the man
chosen to unveil the memorial is none
than Dr.Edmond O'Meagher Condor,
of Atchison, Kansas. Forty years ago
DR.. Condor stood in the dock, fell
low prisoner of Allen, Larkin and
Gould.
"God Save Ireland"
He was tried on the same evidence,
identified by the same witnesses, con-
victed and sentenced to death by the
same judge.
But the evidence against him was
considered so untrustworthy that he
was later granted a reprieve, while
his fellow prisoners went to death on
the scaffold. DR.. Condor, in his speech
from the dock at Manchester on the
occasion of his conviction and senten-
ce to death, uttered a phrase which
has since become historic:
