HIGH SCHOOL WILL
SHAKE UP TOWN

A boosting expedition, 700
strong, comprising both boys and
girls from the high school, will
parade the business section Friday
afternoon in an endeavor to
awaken additional interest in the
clever football team of the South
Central high school and athletics
generally.
On Saturday afternoon the foot
ball team tackles the Tacoma high
school team, considered one of the
strongest elevens in the North
west. Coach Kennedy has put his
team through hard practice for
this game and wants all the boost
ers and everyone else who can get
away to 60 out to Recreation park
and boost for the Spokane team.
Tacoma never did have any
thing on this town in business or
athletics" says Kennedy, the other
day.
He figures correctly that a good
crowd and lots of home boosting
often has much to do with win
ming a game.

"GUARDS BACK" GREATEST
PLAY SAYS GREAT MURPHY
BY MIKE MURPHY.

Undoubtedly the greatest play
that was ever invented, the one
which had most to do with revolu-
tionizing the game and one which
is largely responsible for our pres
ent attitude toward reformed foot
ball, is the famous old guards
back" invented by George Wood
ruff, the old Pennsylvania coach,
in 1895.
1t was in this year that the Penn
sylvania team was having a strenu-
GUS time with an unusually long
and hard schedule. Several of the
smaller colleges had given the
Quakers hard battles, and each new
game was looked forward to as a
possible defeat.
Woodruff, who all along seemed
to have his team well in hand, had
been working hard behind closed
gates on a new formation. A guard
was drawn back of the line, directly
behind the other guard on the oppo-
site side of the line, while the half
and fullback were close upon his
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-10-22

the varsity battered the scrub,
mainly trying to buck the line.
Fo ra while the play met with
only fair success, gaining small dis.
tances. The keen eyes Of the Penn
coach soon detected the reason for
the small gains, and the remedy
was soon forthcoming. The first
guard was started a little sooner,
while the man behind paused
slightly, then plunged forward,
striking the first man and lifhting
him straight through the line like a
huge human battering ram. Gradu-
ally the second guard picked his
openings and occasionally darted
through tackle instead of center
and guard.
In the Harvard game that year
the red and blue team managed to
use the new play quite effectively,
but not with any startling results.
1t was not until the Cornell game
that the other colleges would admit
that Woodruff had discovered a
wonder in the line of new plays.
The play, however, enabled the red
and blue to trounce the crimson by
a narrow margin, the score being
17-15.
In Nov. %, Thanksgiving day, the
other colleges were compelled to
notice the strength of the famous
Woodruff creation, for the Cornell
team that year was defeated by
team that was supposed to be its
inferior in weight and skill. The
Ithacan eleven had defeated Brown,
who had in turn played Yale tie
game and had tied the New Haven
ers.
In this game Quarterback Will
Jams worked every variation of the
guards back formation that Wood
ruff had taught him. Time after
time Buck Wharton would plunge
through tackle for big gain; then
when the Cornell backfield would
shift, waiting for a repetition of the
play, Brooke, who was playing full
back, would slip around the end for
a substantial gain. This variation
of the attack so baffled the Cornell
team and SO surprised the coaches
of other colleges that all winter
long the possibilities of the new
play furnished food for discussion
among the gridiron generals.
From that date the success of the
famous combination was never
questioned, and only the change OF
rules has made the play a back
number. From this formation the
tackles back of few years later
arose. The principle was the same,
the tackles beng used in place of
the guards.
The massing of the big men
around the center and the injuries
resulting caused the demand for an
open game, which, finally Endorsed
by President Roosevelt, resulted in
a revision of the rules, under which
every semblance of the old forma-
ton is barred off the gridiron, prob
ably forever.

When AL Kaufman was matched
with Fred Bradley, the New York
,scrapper, few weeks ago, eastern
fight fans smiled and remarked that
Gus Rubin and Yank Kenney were
still alive, if anybody cared to drag
them forth and exhibit them as
boxers.
But when Kaufman put Bradley
on the floor for the count of 10, it
was all different. Bradley had
earned reputation in the east as a
clever fighter, and the ease with
which Kaufman disposed of him
caused much comment.
Billy Delaney is still managing
Kaufman, and he says the big chap
is ready at last to fight for the
worlds championship.
