work of Tackle Falls Upon the
Wfngs-FOFWard Pass Brings
About Many Changes.

From the Chicago Examiner.
The end rushers always have been two
of the most important men on a football
team. and under this years code these
positions have become more important
Than ever before. Up until ten years ago
the chief duty OF the end was TO lie out
on the extreme end or lifeline on the de-
fensive 70 prevent long runs around him.
While on The offensive his duty was TO
open holes In the opposing line Seldom
did he carry the bali.
When double line of defense came 10 be
used. the end became one Of the most I'M
portant positions on the team Up 70 this
time the ends We're usually small speedy
men. but il was soon found out that the
big man was more valuable in smashing
up plays.
Since the introduction of the forward
pass the great weight Of defensive play
on tackle fell upon the ends. as il became
necessary 10 drop the halves back ten or
fifteen yards 10 prevent the successful
execution Of forward pass plays This
caused the coaches 10 look for big and
speedy men 20 MI these positions.
In looking over the personnel Of the
most successful teams OF this season
ind that on every one OF these teams the
ends are big, powerful men, Harvard
Michigan. Princeton. and Minnesota all
have men playing the end positions who
weigh over $50 pounds The Chicago
Minnesota game afforded an excellent
example Of the value Of the big man in
the end position. Few people realize that
the Cashing runs OF McGovern, johnson.
and ROsenwald were in a large measure
due 20 the splendid work OF the big
Gopher ends. who continually boxed the
Chicago tackles.
The work OF the end on the defensive
has become more important than ever be-
fore on account or the restriction regard
ing the pushing and pulling Of the man
with the ball This restriction has so re-
duced the value OF line plunges that %
per cent Of the attack this season has
been aimed at the end Further. the
chance Of executing the forward pass IS
so great that the secondary defensive
must lay well back and is unable 10 af-
ford much assistance to the ends on on
tackle play.

How to Find Your Soul Mate.

There is an old. old superstition which
comes from ancient Egypt, and so in
teresting is Il that It is strange palm
lists do not more frequently mention II.
1t is that unless the important lines On
the hands OF two people resemble one an
other these two are not really soul mates.
Look at the line Of the heart-that long
line across the palm o. the hand beneath
the BASES OF the fingers. Notice the thin
and generally broken one thar rises to-
ward it from the wrist These are the
two above all others that should be alike

Whence the Word "crinao7"

San Angelo, Tex. Standard: The
Standard has been asked to define the
word "Gringo," term applied by Mex
leans to all Americans, but not, as
some contend, to all foreigners.
The word Gringo has no equivalent
in English or any other language. It's
origin came about in this way: Dur
ing the invasion OF Mexico by the
American army under Gen. Scott, the
old Scottish song, Green Grow the
Rushes o." was quite popular through
out the United States and also the
army, and the abr became a favorite
with the military band which accom-
panied the invading forces. Hearing
this tune played so often in camp, and
more especially during the assaults.
charges and fighting around Con-
treras. La Padierna, Molina del Rey,
Churubusco and Chapultepec, the
Mexicans became familiar with the air.
and from prisoners and other sources
learned its name, Green Grow" etc.
which they were unable to pronounce
according to the American standard,
their nearest approach being "Gringo."
Hay viene los Gringos!" (the Green
Grows are coming) became a common
expression, while the American troops
were advancing and fighting their way
into the Mexican capital, and untd
this day the man from the United
States Of the North Is known among
the Mexicans as a Gringo The name,
however, is not used or applied in
polite circles; like the word Gachupin
as applied to the Spanish, 1t is used
more in sense Of derision than OF
respect.
