of 1901 developed such a situa-
ton. Neither team had scored,
and Harvard had the ball on West
Points 65-yard line. with but
four minutes to play. Then Capt.
Campbell showed why he had
been picked to lead the team. He
had noticed that to stop his tackle
back formation, the soldiers
guard, tackle and halfback
would dive beneath the play, .eav-
ing the space between tackle and
end practically unprotected.
With one minute left, Campbell
showed his men how to vary the
play. The tackle-back was used
two or three times, and then once
more. But the last time, instead
of carrying the ball, Cults, who
had been used as the battering
ram, went in empty handed, and
Bob Herman took the ball. The
Harvard backs crowded out the
West Point end and Herman went
through with no one in front but
one man, who was straight-armed
and Herman raced to the goal.

Few lucky" Victories on Gridiron;
Most Games Won By Strategy

Sometimes luck wins foot ball
contests, but generally victory
comes through preparation and
careful coaching.
Remember when Harvard
downed Yale last fall, with drop
kick? 1t seemed a lucky boot, but
Kennard, whose toe sent the ball
tumbling over the bar, began that
kick early the previous spring,
when he started to practice drop
kicking.
Kennard studied a foot ball as
a chess player studies his board.
Upon returning to college he prac-
ticed daily to bring his kicking to
perfection. He was allowed to try
his drop kicks behind the line
against the scrubs, until in an ex-
hibition he kicked 60 successive
goals.
His first chance in a game was
against Bowdoin, and he missed.
His second was against the Spring
field Training school, and he
scored from the 35-yard line.
Against the Indians he failed at a
45-yard kick, which fell short.
But the direction was true.
1t was decided to use Kennard
against Yale, should Harvard get
the ball inside the blues 25-yard
line on q third down and more
than two yards to go. From the
side lines Kennard saw the ball
carried to Yale's 15-yard line, and
be was called upon. He took his
position behind the center, signal
ed bis teammate, and ere the
thousands realized ii, the ball was
passed, caught dropped and boot.

and over the bar, and Yale was
defeated.

ELKS OFFER PARK
BOARD A GREAT
FLAGP0LE

w. B. Coffee, representing the
Elks, yesterday offered to give to
the park board the tallest flagpole
in the world. The Pacific Ma
Itional Lumber company has
agreed with the Elks to furnish
one from $50 to 225 feet high. and
If the park will accept it, 1t will
be put up in Wright park. The
board will consider the matter.
No successor was chosen yes
terday to Nelson Bennett, but the
board members are taking dinner
this afternoon with w. w. Sey-
mour to discuss the matter, and
it is likely someone will be decided
upon.
The famous $4,000 automobile
Nelson Bennett bought has been
sold, and it will be operated by
private parties in Point Defiance

CHICAGO, Oct. depending
100000 for players to win anoth-
er pennant," might be the title Of
a book written about Charlie Co
miskey,. owner of the Chicago
White Sox.
The "Old Roman has spent
100000 for new men this year to
get a pennant winner for 1910. On
top of this he is building one of
the finest parks in the country.
Two forces determined Comis-
key to spend the money. They are
his maxims: There's no money
in a loser" and "If one team wins
all the pennants, the others might
as well close shop"
Comiskey has won pennants and
his success is evidence that IL he
sets about it he can come close to
repeating.
This year the Sox finished
fourth. Comiskey seemed indif-
ferent. His attitude caused COM
|menf. Then Commy came out of
1t ON the run and sent out Ted
Sullivan scouting. Sullivan was
on the jump until just before the
drafting season, when 90 young
sters had been purchased.
South-side fans do not pin their
hope of winner on this injection
Of new blood, so much as upon Co
miskey's promise that next years
pennant will float over the home
of the White Sox.
HE never promised anything

of using the mails to defraud,
were surrendered into court by

United States Marshal NJ. t. Nc
Graw ON a telegram, from United
States District Attorney Charles
A. Goss, of Omaha, stating that
thay had been indicted by the fed

October on a similar charge.
Commissioner Augustus H.

10000 each, which they were
unable to furnish, and they were
taken to the King county jail TO
await removal to Omaha.
Mr.. Goss forwarded a certified

the land with fine-toothed comb.
Some fabulous prices were paid
for men who may never don q Chi

season.
But If from the two score a
Cobb or a Wagner is picked Co

Some youngsters have been

to be corners. Fred Olmstead, who
started with the Sox, but was
farmed to Minneapolis, came back,
and appears ripe.
