OPEN PLAY MAKES

NEW YORK. Nov. 2-"Jim" Hogan.
the oid Yale tackle and captain and one
of the men whose famc on the gridiron
will forever live in Yale annals, came
out to-day with the surprising sugges-
ton that "open game" In football is re-
sponsible for the present day injuries.
1.-THE great fault IS with the forward
pass" Hogan says. "rhe secondary de-
fense line moves far back from the main
defense. at which the attack may sud
denly be aimed. The secondary defense
is then useless and the one man in the
main defense az whom the mass play OF
the offiense is aimed has little or no
chance Of turning TO the attack and usu-
ally foes down under an irresistible
rush.
Another unfavorable thing for the men
In the first defensive line is that they
can not tell by their opponents forma-
ton what the play will be and they are
forced 10 keep their heads raised untn
the hall gets into full play and the
minute they do so they are gone"

COURT ECHO OF
STRIKE TROUBLE
One Man Fined SIS and Another
Held in Bail for County
Court Today, by Judge

As the result Of the rioting at the
Blumenthal plant Joseph Pepe an Ital-
ian was this morning held by city Court
Judge Cochran under $50 bail for the up
per court on the charge of carrying con-
cealed deadly weapon, and George
Makosli. a Pole, was fined s. and costs
on the charge Of disorderly conduct. The
fine Of $50 and cost previously imposed
upon John Lucas. another Pole. whose
attorney. James Salisbury. had petitioned
for a reopening Of the case, was sus-
tained on Mr.. Saulsburys information
that he had asked for the reopening un-
der a misapprehension. The hearing OF
Stanislaw Ostrowski. a saloon keeper,
charged with assault and battery. was
continued until next Tuesday on applica-
tion of his attorney. J. Frank Ball.
The testimony against Pepe was offered
by Patrolman Long. who said the Italian
had revolver in the breast Of his coat
and that everybody near the Blumenthal
plant on Friday evening was afraid Of
him. Pepe handed the weapon TO the Of
hcer when he started to search him.
Pepe's attorney, Leonard +. Wales. asked
that the charge be held up IN view Of the
fact that Pepe. who is a strike breaker,
had merely meant 10 protect himself from
the strikers. Assistant City Solicitor ebay
tor, however. expressed the fear that such
leniency would encourage shooting II
further trouble occurred.
Makoski through his attorney. James
Salisbury. pleaded guilty to the charge
Of disorderly conduct. and the fine was
made light on that account. Patrolman
Elliott testified that he was clearing the
streets near the Blumenthal plant on
Friday when Makosh with an oath made
a threatening movement toward his back
pocket. The patrolman seized him. but a
search failed 10 reveal any weapon.
