SPEED, ACCURACY AND JUDGMENT ARE
ESSENTIALS OF GOOD QUARTERBACK

remember the signals. He must know
every one Of them as well as he does
his alpha, beta, gamma.
The quarterback must be quick OF dis
cernment and as rapid in judgment as
the duckshooter. He must know foot
bali well enough to be Informed Of the
strength of his own team, and TO be able
to read without difficulty the weak
points of his opponents.
He hasn't time to shut his eyes dur
ing the game. He must be able to take
in with one glance all the doings of the
football field and to make UP his mind
in an instant when his team is on the
offensive which play he shall choose
next. The quicker that he can assem-
BILE his players and the more CELEBRITY
with which they can get into action the
greater possibility of their gaining the
required distance-just a little war in
a peaceful sort of fashion for the time
being.
That is the reason why coaches are
now much given to thought when they
decide upon their quarterbacks for the
season. Ten good players in all other
positions Of the game may not be able
to make any more progress than a
Kentucky mule on muddy road if the
quarterback doesn't command them
properly.

New York, Oct. 30-The fifth Wander
bilt cup race was won today by Harry
F. Grant, driving a ty-horsepower
Alec car, the only six-cylinder machine
in the race. His time for the 27S.0S
miles was 4;25:42, an average speed or
62.S miles per hour.
Edward H. Harker. driving forty

five minutes and fifteen seconds behind

finished third.
The other cars, the Mercedes, driven
bv Wishart. an amateur, and the Atlas.
driven by Knox, were the only remain
ing machines among the fifteen en-
trants for the Vanderbilt cup which
were still on the course at the end OF
the race.
Compared with previous Vanderbilt
cup races, the contest this year, re-
duced TO the level of an ordinary stock
car event, was tame and spiritless.
Although accidents to cars were nu-
merous and machine after machine was
retired, no one suffered any serious in
jury. The weather and road conditions
were unsurpassed. The most optimistic
estimates place the crowd at not less
than 100000.
Poor management and lack Of off,
cial judgment married the race from
beginning to end. One of the worst in
stances Of this occurred just before the
finish, when It was suddenly discovered
that the official timers had omitted TO
credit Grants Alec with Its twentieth
lap.
When he came round on his twenty
first lap it was at first recorded as the
twentieth. As he came in sight for his
twenty-second and final round the mis-
take was noticed and the score board
was hastily corrected. Grants name

MICHIGAN WIPES OUT
SCORE WITH SYRACUSE
Yost's Eleven Shows 0ld-Time Speed
and Puts the Eastern Team
to Rout.

Ann Arbor, Mich Oct. Se.-Syracuse
was beaten 43 to by Michigan this
afternoon. The Michigan form, so de-
moralized a week ago, was splendid.
The blocking and tackling, which have
been Michigans weak points this year,
were the strong points Of today's play
ing.
The game was replete with sensa-
lions. In the second half, Wasmund
took a punted ball on his own S5-yard
line and, running through the entire
Syracuse team, covered the distance to
Syracuse's goal. Ten minutes later Bor-
Ieske. Michigan's left end, received a
forward pass from Allerdics and raced
down the field 45 yards for touch
down.
Neither Michigan nor Syracuse suf-
fered from over-cOnfidence before the
second football game between the two
universities.
The game, showing the relative mer-
its of the Yale coaching system as
compared with that of Yost, came as q
triumph for the west. Coach Jones
received much assistance from Yale
in developing his men.
Weather conditions were perfect for
the game. Thousands of people from
all over Michigan were here, coming
out on special trains during the morn

HARVARD DOWNS ARMY
Score 8 to 0 Largely Due to New
Game Played by Crimson
Player Fatally Hurt.

West Point N. Y. Oct. S0.-Harvard
scored twice on the Army here today In
a hard-fought game of football and
would probably have added at least an
other field goal to her tally had not time
been called ten minutes early in the sec
ond half because Of serious injuries re
ceived by Byrne, the Army left tackle,
whose condition is critical The final
score:
Harvard, g; West Point, 0.
Harvard gave the best exhibition of the
forward pass seen at West Point this
year. The passes were not long, but
they were sure; only one failed. The
Army tried the on-side kick-once in the
first half for gain of 50 yards, and once
in the second half for a loss, when the
ball went direct TO Leslie, the Harvard
left halfback. who caught IL.
Frothingham's poor judgment Of punts
lost Harvard much ground in the first
half, but his accurate following of inter-
ference and Leslie's brilliant running
through broken fields were substantial
factors in obtaining the crimson her VIC
tory.
It was the best game between the
two since the fall of 1906. OF the six
games prior to 1907, the game in 1902
was the only one In which Harvard
scored more than one touchdown, and
this same game was the only one in
which West Point scored on the Grim
son. The score was: Harvard IA,

Because of this hitch Grants victory

that Grant was finally confirmed as the

WINS FROM
CARLISLE INDIANS
Redmen'S Coach and Player
Mix With Officials and
Are 0uSted.

Philadelphia, Oct. SO-The University
Of Pennsylvania administered a severe
defeat to the Carlisle Indians this after
noon IN one Of the most bitterly fought
games ever played on Franklin field, the
score being % to 6.
For the first time in the history Of that
famous athletic field, an official was
physically attacked by a player, and a
policeman was called upon to escort the
offending man and the coach Of the
Carlisle team behind the lines.
The trouble occurred in the middle Of
the first half. Wauseka was ordered out
of the game on TIE ground that he had
roughly tackled a Pennsylvania man who
was out of bounds. Enraged at Umpire
Edwards action, WauSek& attacked the
official and struck him hard blow on
the jaw. Other players quickly stopped
further hOstilities.
Left Tackle Fretz OF Pennsylvania
then came to Edwards assistance, and
his remarks and actions were such as to
cause the officials to order him from the
game. About this time Coach Warner
came running on the field. There was an
argument, and Edwards summoned pO-
liceman and had both Wauseka and
Warner escorted behind the lines.
In the argument, 1t was asserted Dy
Pennsylvania authorities, Warner de-
clared that Referee OkeSOn or L6nign
was not fair to the Indians. When this
was brought to Warmers attention, he
said he did not charge Okeson with gly-
ing the other side the game out sald
that he told Okeson that he had given
Pennsylvania a touchdown she had not
earned. Warner also said that he told
OkesOn he was doing all he could Ior

an Indian who Is said to have been
former player. was removed from the
side lines by Edwards for alleged often
sive remarks.
Pennsylvania game was by far the
best that IL has played this season. The
bright star was Miller, the Pennsylvania
captain, whose splendid end running car
ried the ball half the length Of the field

Annapolis, Nd, Oct. 8O-Although de-
feated by two points by Princeton, the
navy, in the game this afternoon
showed such marked Improvement in
form as to give her supporters great
encoura cement. The score was TO
8 in the Tigers favor, the navys tally
being made on a neat placement goal
from the thirty-yard line by Dalton,
PrincetOn's touchdown was the result
of straight line plunging, IN which
Tiger beef was more than the midsnlp-
men could withstand. Ballen tailed
In his try for a goal.
The game during its initial period
was one in which the superb punting
of Dalton kept the ball in Princeton s.
territory most of the time, Aside from
this punting, the navy was at disad-
vantage most Of the time, although
Dalton and Richardson occasionally got
through for good line gains. Prince
toms score was made on straight
plunging. -
Although the first half ended with
the score 5 to against the navy, they
had played the better ball and kept
the leather in Princeton territory ali Of
the time. DaltOns long htgh punfs

kicks.
The second half was a succession Of
the first, so far as punung went. Dali

out Of danger, only to have the heavy
Tigers drive down with relentless force
to within the danger zone.

Maroons.

Northrop Field. Minneapolis, !tinn., Oct.
30-Minnesota defeated Chicago before
10000 persons here today, 20 to s. The
game gives Minnesota an excellent chance
to win the middle western championship.

WEST POINT PLAYER HURT
Taken From the Harvard Game I'm
conscious, and His ReeoV-
cry Doubtful.

West Point, n. Y, Oct S0-Eugene A.
Byrne OF Buffalo. member OF the senior
class OF the U. S. Military academy, and
tackle on the varsity football eleven, lies
IN the cadet hospital tonight, semi-con-
sciOus and partly paralyzed because or
injuries received today in the game with
Harvard when he was subjected 70 terri
fic pressure in a scrinmage- His con-
dition is critical.
The accident, following closely upon the
injury to Midshipman Wilson, who sus-
tained a fracture Of the fifth vertebra at
Annapolis two weeks ago, has aroused a
feeling of unsasiness among the cadets
that the governments may take some &C
ton to curtail football.
Byrne. who is q years old. is a son Of
John Byrne, former chief of police Of
Buffalo The father attended the game.
When he saw his son lying unconscious
or the field after a scTimmage, he
sprang from his seat and ran to his In
jured boy and helped take care OF him.
Mrs. Byrne was informed OF the acct
dent tonight and will arrive in West
Point in the morning.
The army surgeons are attending
young Byrne and they hope Tor his ulti-
tremely grave. Byrne weighs ITS pounds
and was strong and robust
The fact that q complete diagnosis has
not been made leaves the possibility that
Byrne may have been injured internally.

Quarterbacks In football are not play
ers of artificial growth. If there is one
position more than another IN which the
football candidate must have football
sense il is behind the line, guiding the
team and at the same time keeping a
careful watch on the work of opponents.
Because one player is possessed OF the
ability to pass the ball better than an
other, and is not quite so large as some
of his companions, it does not follow
that he is a morocco-bound edition Of a
first-class quarterback.
In the older days of football, before
Americans had learned how to make so
much of a game which. after all. is
mostly a contest of American ideas, the
smallest chap who presented himself
for a place on the team, if he hap
pened to be tolerably fair In passing
the ball, drew the position Of quarter
back, whether he had any other qualifi-
cations or not. 1t was on the same
principle that the latest boy drew the
position of center.
That rule does not follow now, though
strangely enough most of the quarter
backs this year are the shorter members
of the teams, If not always the smallest
members.
The coach Of the present day selects
for quarterback the player who can

Evanston, ILL.,, Oct, 3O.-Wisconsin de-
feated Northwestern q to II. in hard
gridiron battle on the new Northwestern

knowledge Of both new and old football
than did their opponents, and better team
work.
Both teams relied largely on the old
style smashing game and only now and
then was there a flash and the new and
more open game. Wisconsin tried the for
ward pass several times and only two Of
these were successful. Northwestern did
not use this play until near the end OF
the game and this lone attempt failed
dismally.
