Of going up to a man and telling him after
a race in which he may have finished
only third or fourth that he did well.
This makes the mar see that the coach

and it is a little bit Of showing interest
in his men that keeps them encouraged.

vania sprinter, who turned pro a while ago
in England, is to coach the University Of
North Carolina track team next spring.
Cartmell had a formidable record as a
s|printer himself and could and can run
well from sixty to 44O yards. His venture
into the coaching game adds to the gaiety
of nations, because he is one of the few

finished their college work.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Although Jack
Johnson has been matched TO meet Jim
Jeffries for the heavyweight title some
time next July, the big negro may do
some fighting in the meantime. Sam
Langford has announced that he is pre-
pared to tackle Johnson, and as an evil
dence of his sincerity in this direction
he is ready to give the champion $1,000
in cash the moment he steps into the
ring. When George Little. Johnson's
manager, was informed of this he said
that a match between johnson and Lang

that he was ready to bring about such a
battle.

STRONG ENDS VITAL TO GAME
New Rules of Foot Ball Makes
Demands on New Positions in Line.
DAY OF HALFBACKs IS PAST
Become just Members of Back Field
Under Development of Modern
Tactics-Quarter StiIl of
Importance.

With the growth OF the modern school
Of foot ball there has been many changes
as to the relative Importance of the sew
eral positions. Under the new system
Of foot ball the end rush is the most inn
portant man on the team. The only pos
sible exception is the position of quarter
back. The latter must evolve the play
that is to come, and 1t is up to the end
rush TO put 1t into execution. Formerly
most Of these duties fell upon the half
backs, and the back field was considered
the most important department. If the
players were still permitted to formulate
mass plays the back field would still be
the more important, but the end rush is
the man on whom all teams must depend
for success under the present system.
AS a matter of fact, there is no longer
such a thing as a right halfback or a
left halfback. They are merely members
of the back field. In the old days the
back stood in a line parallel to the line
men. The fullback was in the center and
the halfbacks were on each side Of him.
That is where they got their names of
right and left halfback. AS the teams
line up today the backs stand in a row,
which is at right angle to the regular
line, and, consequently, there is no right
and left. In the signals they are known
as bach 1 and back 2.
There are many reasons why the end
should have superseded the halfback as
a position OF Importance. In the old days
Of mass plays the ends rarely ever got
Omaha daily bee., 1909-11-07

a chance to get in the play before the
runner was tearing into the line, that Is,
when they were on the defensive. On the
offensive, the ends were played back of the
line and used as halfbacks. They often
ran with the ball. Under the new style
Of open play the end must be as fleet as
a reindeer, and he must be a certain and
sure tackler. There is much more kicking
in the game now than there was a few
years ago, and the end must keep UP with
the speed of the ball and tackle the man
who catches it by the time 1t hits his
hand. Wise kickers always send the ball
high in the air to give these ends a
chance. II an end is slow in going down
the field on punts he is useless. \
The forward pass has also brought the
end into prominence, and he now must
be expert in the art of catching a ball on
the fly and he must have all the qualities
Of a halfback in running with the ball.
The forward pass cannot be executed with
bad ends. The man who receives the ball
must have had long training and he must
have a nerve Of steel. The halfback can
protect the end after he starts with the
ball. but 1t is up to the end to catch the
pass. and he must be in position exactly
at the right moment or the whole thlhg
will go up in smoke.
A nice Illustration Of what the end
rushes can do toward winning or losing
a foot ball game is that game in which
Dartmouth defeated Princeton last So son.
II was the work Of S~childmiller and Ken
nedy that turned the trick. They weS%
on top OF the ball every time II was
kicked. and not once did either of them
miss the forward pass.
The early slowness of Princeton this
year is due to the failure to secure fast
ends to take the place Of. such men as
Wister.

LAST DAY OF THE FUFUR1rY
Monday VIII See Last of This Big
CoHey Island stake.

Coney Island Stake.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6-Monday, November
Is, is the closing date for the Futurity OF
1911 and the Lawrence Realization Of 1912.
These two stakes Of the Coney Island
Jockey club have been two OF the most
important fixtures OF the racing year, ana
they have always attracted the best horses
In training. 1t has been found necessary
for obvious reasons to curtall the value Of
both OF them, but they remain the Flu
turity and the Realization. and as such
they have a much greater Importance in
the racing year than can be figured by
money value, The horse that wins either
o4e Of them has earned a place for himself
that is secure, and the owner OF such a
winner prizes the performance much more
than a score OF purses in selling races that
might climb to a greater money value.
The Futurity OF 1911 has an added value
of 5000. and the Realization has a like
value.

CORN INSPECTOR NOW IN
ORDER
0RDER

Pellagra, that much dreaded mala
dy, which has baffled the skill OF tn
most learned medical men Of thre'
continents, is spreading at tan alarm
ing rate in the South, not less thar
a dozen cases having been reported
in Mississippi during the past sever
al weeks.
The disease is not contagious, bu
some physicians contend that it Ii
at least Infectious, ALI are agreed
that 1t may be contracted from eat
ing corn bread made from rotter
corn.
It will thus be seen that the far
mer who raises his own corn, grind
ing into meal only the SQUAD, ma
ture grain, runs little risk. while
the man who buys meal ground
from Western grain takes his life,
and the lives OF the members of Lis
family, into his own hands.
The spread of pellegra Is all the
more alarming because as yet no
cure has been found for the disease.
Within the past six years more than
$4,000 Italian citizens have died
from it, and MS many moro have
been sent 10 the lunatio asylums to
rave until death relieves their suf.-
ferings.
Cholera, yellow fever, bubonio
plague all are bad. But pellagra
Is infinitely worse.
If the disease cannot be cured, II
can at least be prevented, and The
News believes that It is the duty of
the duly constituted authorities OF
Mississippi TO got busy.
III bad corn meal produces pella-
gra, then the man who sells bud
corn meal is worse than an assassin,
and hanging is too good for him.
Every county in the state should
have IL corn inspector, and 1t should
be a penitentiary offense TO grind a
grain of corn without the stamp of
his approval Corn meal should be
barred entirely, and evasion Of this
mandate should be punishable with
death.
1t ID an awful thing to be afflicted
with disease which science cannot
combat.

THE m.DIRTY DAGO.n

The DIRTY Dago"-the greatest
menace now confronting this Sec
tion of the South--has invaded Eli
lisville.
He now occupies, unmolested,
three of the most prominent busi-
ness locations in the city, and the
nauseating odor OF deoaying fruits
and vegetables permeates the atmos-
phere for blocks and blocks--a
stencil in the nostrils of decent
white citizens.
The News bears no grudge against
the Latin race, which has led the
world in music, sculpture, art. But
the lower strata of Latin society has
long been regarded as the most de-
generate type of the human race,
and it is this degenerate type that
finds its way TO America and the
South.
Ellisville is q clean town, and Ell
lisville cannot afford to be polluted.
1t is true that we have no law
by which the Dirty Dago" can be
scourged from the community, and
the people of Ellisvills are not In
cllned TO take the law into their
own hands except as a last and final
resort.

ISSUES A WARNING.

Claiming that the Mississippi Far.
mers Union is at a crisis In It's his-
tory, and that designing politicians

ton OF selfish political interests, DIR,
James II. McCaleb, of Insmore, Miss.
has written an open letter in which
he says:
'Now who are these politicians? A
SGT of men who want 10 use your 10y,

grandize their selfish purposes, and il
