SCRUBS ARE USEFUL IN
TRYING OUT NEW TRICKS
Secret Practice of Little Avail in
FooIing Opposing Teams

NEW YORK, Sept. 4-There will be
a lot of secret practice in football this
fall. 1t was so the last time the rules
were revised, and there is every indi
cation that this time will prove no
exception. The early institution of Sc
cret practice is often unimportant.
When new rules go into effect many
coaches start secret practice at once
so as to conceal their own ignorance
and lack of initiative and invention
until such time as they can get a line
on what other coaches are doing with
the game.
Since the days of Lorin F. Doland
nothing of great novelty-nothing at all
startling-has been evolved in the
course of secret practice, and, as a
rule, the team that plays the all around
game the better is the winner. Des-
perate ruses that for the most part
are never used are worked out in Sc
cret practice now and then, but in
general less time is put in on tricks
than the general public would suppose.
The principal value of secret practice
in recent years has been the chance
it afforded to present a changed line
up on the day of the big game-a
surprise to this extent to ones op-
ponent. Yet there has been hardly a
single instance in recent years in which
the news of the proposed change has
not '1eaked."
This year there will be early secret
practice for another reason. 1t is bare
ly possible that one coach may happen
on a play that to him will seem rudi-
mentary and fundamental under the
new rules, and which he would ordi-
narily use regularly. 1t is possible,
however, that just such a play might
escape some other coach, and its dis
~
inadvertently.
1t often happens that an especially
good play is tried out in the open by
the second team, or even by the team
of some 'prep school feeder" and in
this way escape notice. Some years
ago Yale defeated Princeton with a
play that had been worked out unob-
trusively by the freshman team and
vet appeared to be brand new when
used by the varsity. 1t was the for
ward pass from the fake placement
kick, handled to perfection by Tad
Jones and Ted Coy. There was abso-
lutely no reason why the Tigers should
not have been prepared for this play,
but they were not, and it cost them the
game.
So, as matter of fact, it is perhaps
a better plan to try out new forma-
tions with the scrub" or a third team
or the freshmen than to close the
gates. There is always a leak, where
as the second team and the freshmen
may plug innocently along, working up
new maneuvers for the varsity with
out suspicion. OF course, there would
need to be some secret practice to fa-
miliarize the varsity with the play,
but in general 1t may be said that the
secret practice of the present day is
largely bluff.

whose ceaduct Is under inspection.
If II is an established point Of etiquette
IN any mans house that all male visitors
shall wear creased pants, deliberately not
u wear them on such a visit might seem
a matter Of personal discourtesy, and
Bishop Quayie or anybody else too impa-
tient Of special preferences might exercise
his FREQ option not TO enter that house.
on the other hand, the man who preferred
70 have his visitors wear creased pants
might be thought somewhat urgently care
ftn Of his own dignity if he objected be-
cause his visitor, after leaving his house,
should visit another honored friend in a
house where creased pants were not de
rigueur. without removing those same
creased pants and assuming others not
necessarily creased. But to impute any
serious motive OF dsrespect to the man
who should elect either to wear creased
pants and pay his visit to the man who
was keen for creases, or to stay away, or
to visit his other friend this seems to us
wholly unfair both TO the visitor and to
his host or hosts
The present is not an age in which the
question OF creased pants can take a ser
ious place in matters OF hospitality pri-
vate or public. Nobody realizes this more
fully than do all good American citizens,
including Bishop Quayle. The idea of bad
feeling engendered between nations. re-
ligious bodies, or individuals, in high or
low places. through a question Of creased
pants is quite inconceivable.

A DELAWARE COUNTY EAR.

"A MONEMENI has been started in Della
n ware county, Pa, to revive the old time
county fair which years ago was an annual fea-
ture in the county The Chester Times points
out that the fair failedN because the exposition
grounds were inaccessible, not because the pub
lie was unwilling to give support. But since
the days Of the fair the trolley has come with its
cheap transportation rate and grounds could be
secured tht would be easy of access.
The Times adds that the fair should be made
more than an agricultural exposition. The mills
and schools it thinks, should be represented.
Doubtless fair in Delaware county would be
successful although there are fairs near-by--in-
cludng the Chester county exposition at West
Chester and the New Castle county fair in this
city
The suggestion of the Times that the mills and
schools should be represented, may we'll be
applied to our own fair. 1t started modestly a
few years ago and it has grown in size and inter-
est year by year Before long it should be one
Of the best fairs in the eastern part OF the
country.

The interesting. news comes from Pitts
burg by way Of the Empora Gazette. that
Bishop Quayle, who used TO live in Kan
sas. made an address IN the steel city in
the course Of which he assailed the man
who wears his pants creased. The as
sumption is that the prelate used the
word pants without feeling any necessity
for quotation marks; and since We would
not venture TO correct his crisp idiom. we
will use the same word in what little we
wish 10 say on the subject.
Bishop Quayie as We gather. accused
the wearer Of creased pants OF being con-
sumed with vanity. devoting TO his poor

ROOSEVELT AND THE PRESS.

MO wonder Colonel Roosevelt is popular with
AV the small army Of newspaper correspond
ents who are camping on his trail The Colonel
always has stood and probably always will
stand in with the press, and he has been de-
scribed as great press agent" When he de-
parted for Genoa the other evening he asked
the correspondents not to accompany him. He
gave them quiet tip that there would be moth
ing doing" for few days and that they would
not miss anything if they did not go along
Even so strenuous man as Colonel Roosevelt
finds it necessary TO take rest once in a while.
Only those in the business can appreciate the
relief that the Colones promise of nothing
doing for few days brings to the correspond
ents. The ColoNel is man who always needs
watching. But from the correspondents point
of view he is a good subject TO write about and
he has the rare faculty of knowing what news
is What a great managing editor Colonel
Roosevelt would make.
The intmaton in the Coonels words is that
there will be something going on before very
long and the newspaper correspondents will
know when to be con the job" lie will tell
them.
The Colonel and the correspondents seem to
be working amicaby together, but the best
stories Of their relations and what is happen
ing and what the Colonel is really saying will

INDIANA CONVENTION.

TNHE plain facts OF the Indiana political sit
4 uation seem to be that the Democrats in
all probability will carry the state at the next
election owing to the split in the Republican
ranks. Senator Beverage controlled the Repub
hcan State convention the other day, and he
took the insurgent position similar to that which
he has occupied in the Senate
The resolutions contain no commendation of
the tariff law although they express approval of
the administration of President Taft The reso-
lutions deare in favor of a commission TO regu-
late the tariff and this is an attitude similar to
that taken by many Republicans. The New
York Tribune points out that the Republicans
are at one in demanding the establishment of
Federal Commission to ascertain impartially the
difference between the cost of production in this
country and abroad. So the line of demarcaton
between the Beverdge idea and that of the great
mass of Republicans is not great as might be
inaoined Mr. Beveridgc. OF course hopes to
win independent ana Democratic voters as well
as to hold the great mass of the Republican vot-
crs of the state with the platform The question
OF his success depends upon whether his recruits
will equal the losses he will sustain.
The last election in Indiana so far as the legis-
lature and Congress were concerned, was not
satisfactory to the Republicans. The Democrats
elected a United States Senator. They secured
nine of the eleven Congressman.
Beveridge therefore, on his new plan has
most desperate battle in front of him Unless
the insurgent and independent sentiment is
stronger than most people suspect, the chances
are that the Senator will be defeated
The principle of protection is not condemned
in the Indiana platform The position Of the
Indianapolis convention is not similar to the
Democratic view on these questions any more
than the general insurSent position is similar to
the Democratic attitude
Mr. Taft has often said that the new tariff
law did not accomplish all that it should have
done in the way of revision downward, but il
has been accepted as the best law that could
have been obtained under the circumstances and
as the best Of tariff laws. Facts are justifyine
this assertion, for the revenues have increased
and the law has fooled its critics

In the death of Mr.. Thomas H. Savery good
man has passed away. For some years he was
the head of one of our largest and most import
ant industries-the Pusey and Jones Company
and he was identified with numerous other indus
trial and business enterprises But along with
his many duties he found time to sacrifice to the
benefit of the community. His special field Of
public activity was as president of the Board IF
Trade for some years-for long as he would
accept the honor. Men who did not know him
before came to know and like Mr.. Savery, to
rely on his Judgment, to follow his advice He
threw energy into that body and the fact that
the Board Of Trade is the strong and progressive
Organization that it is in considerable measure is
due to the efforts of Thomas Fl. Savery. In every
way he was splendid citizen and a Christian
