New Style of Football
May Develop Sensations

coaches would probably have worked
Pendleton at halfback because Of his
ground-gaining ability.
Another thing that has been dis
covered thus early In the season is
that tackles will have TO be just as
speedy as the ends In order to take
acre of forward passes and onside
kicks. The old beefy tackles have
had their day. They will be replaced
by lighter, faster men, who will cover
as much ground as the ends.
Coaches undoubtedly will have to
pay great attention to the kicking
game this season. because a good
kicker is just as valuable a ground
gamer rs a star halfback. Yale beat
Princeton last year through the
superior kicking OF Cay, and Coy's
toe had much to do with the victory
OF the Blue over Harvard. At New
Haven this year the problem will be
to find another Coy This is rather
hard. but there is consolation for the
Blue in the fact that the star Of last
season is head coach at New Haven
this year. and will give the Ellis the
benefit Of his valuable advice and

Coys superhuman rushes in the sec

II would not be surprising to see
the coaches evolve something sensa-
tional out OF the new football Never
before did they have such an oppor-
tunity. The new rules are very ex-
plicit in what they prohibit. but they
leave multitude of things TO the
imagination OF the experts who will
their opportunity.
Princeton led the way two years
ago with the new wrinkle IN the on
side kick, and the, Tigers may have
something new in this line this year.
Yale has always relied upon straight
football, but the Ellis realize that they
must have something more this year,
and that is why, perhaps, they are
so early afeld. Harvard and Penn
sylvania have always been fond of
open style of play-Havard especially
land can be counted on to put good
elevens on the gridiron this season.
Most of the teams SO far have con-
tented themselves with light signal
practice and a study of the new rules.
Real hard work will not come before
next week Il is probable that there
will be more secret practice than ever
this year, owing to the changed con-
ditions and the opportunities for trick
plays.

GAMES AROUSE
MUCH INTEREST
First Time Worlds Series
Has Been an East VS.. West
Affair Since 1903

They can say what they please
about the alleged waning interest in
the annual struggles for the worlds
baseball championship. but there is
more speculation and gossip over the
probable outcome of the coming quar-
rel between the Cubs and Athletics
than there has been over a worlds
series since the Giants and Athletics
met in 1905.
One reason why Wilmingtoniaps are
interested in the worlds series this
year is because they feel a certain sec
tional pride in the Athletics, although
National League partisans pick the
Cubs and American League rooters
can see only the Athletics. But this
is the first year since 1903, when BOs-
ton and Pittsburg played that the
worlds series has been an east versus
west affair. II is also the first time
since 1905 that Wilmingtonians have
had a chance to see the big games
without travelling several hundred
miles. Hundreds will attend the game
! I'm Philadelphia.
The early settling of the pennant is
sues in both leagues is going to de-
tract some from interest in the series
and undoubtedly will affect the play,
of both teams. In 1906 the Chicago
White SoX, after a finish in which
they were compelled TO fight right up
to almost the last day to win the
American League pennant, defeated
the Cubs for the big title. The Cubs
had won their pennant month before
the season closed and had loafed so
| long that they rebounded when they
struck the Sox.
"In my opinion a team that has to
fight all the way to the tape is in bet
ter shape to tackle another strong
team than team that has gone along
under wraps and resting for two or
three weeks" declared Johnny King.
OF the Cubs, yesterday. I'm 1908 we
were almost worn out and our nerves
were strained to high tension because
we were compelled to win two hard
games to capture the league pennant,
and Immediately there after had to
meet the Detroit team without rest,
You remember that year that we heat
Pittsburg in the last scheduled game
of the season. If we had lost Pitts
burg would have won the pennant.
That ordeal over, we had to jump on a
train and defeat the Giants on their
own grounds. On both occasions the
championship depended on a single
game We're we all in? Say. when
we struck the Detroit team right af-
ter that the Tigers were easy pick
ing for us.
Il think we will beat the Athletics,
of course" continued King, but
just at present we are not playing the
ball we we're the last time we showed
here. We have the pennant and have
Just naturally let down. There must
be an incentive to encourage high
class play"
