FOOTBALL NOW
DEMANDS K|CKERS
Old Timer Rises to Remark
About the Latter Day
Gridiron Game

II it was the intention of the rule
makers to make the foot play a more
important part i'll the game of football
than ii has done in the past, a glance
at the manner in which scores have
been made this year would leave the
impression that the august body has
wonderfully succeeded in its aims.
this year have been the results of drop
or place kicks. This form of scoring
does not suit the old timer who re-
Gently rises to remark as follows:
The football games played so far
this fall illustrate more strongly than
ever h value of an accurate kicker.
as seen in the eyes of the coaches.
course. but they have been obtained
from much weaker elevens. The big
ger elevens. apparently when meeting
a foe that is strong defensively. seem
to be stingy with the variation of
their attack n are content to take
the games by field goals. And field
goals will probably cut more ice this
fall than ever in a game where teams
of even ability are matched. An &C.
curate kick is a pretty thing to watch.
but 1t does not contain half the beauty
or the d~ecisiveness of the touchdown.
1t shows skill. A team must be strong
enough on the offense to work the ball
close enough for its clever kicker to
perform. and the latter must possess
science in quantity But that is about
all that a be said for the drop kick
or place kick.
Football is a game Of action. but
when 1t so develops that the only scor-
ing means for q team is by accurate
kicking. then it isn't as exciting or as
interesting as the game won by carry
ing the ball over the line. It is as
sulned that the bigger elevens are con-
sidering the touchdown the main
the second best: and that they are
holding in reserve the plays that pro-
duce the best there is in the game and
arc sprucing up on the field goal, the
loophole to victory. While everyone
wants to see a winner in a game in
stead of a tie score, and will shout
when the field goal gives the margin
OF victory. al the same time there is a
about such a margin. The
field goal In football is about on a par
with the sacrifice fly in baseball. Each
brings points. but that is the best that
can be said Of them. Not that either
should be wiped out. Not at all.
They help. But the point is that they
take second place to the run coming
from the timely hit and its cousin, the
In a game of football the spectators

want increases with the important
games. The varsities have not built
up their ground gaining part of the
game so far. and of course will not
show the true progress Of the offense.
There are many things that have been
worked ou in practice that are still
on the shelf waiting for the right team
to come along and sup sedly suffer
therefrom. But the frequent use Of
the kicker leads one to suspect that
the teams are certainly giving this end
OF the game all the Importance it de-
serves. Almost every team that has
done any scoring at all has increased
Its total by the work of the drop or
place kicker. And all Of them have at
least one unusual toe expert"

DIRTY PLAYING BY

Intentionally Disabled by.

Madison. Wis, Nov. 7.-Accordine
to a w%ell-founded rumor which found
It's way around the campus here last
Saturdays game with the Uni
versity of Iowa probably marks the
last time that the representatives Of
the two institutions will clash on. the
gridiron. The injury to Pollock. which
coaches and students insist was Che
result of dirty" work on the part
OF OBrien, the big Hawkeye Center,
Is given as the reason.
Director Ehler refused to state def
nitely whether or. not such action
would be taken, hut one who is ION
the inside made that statement this
afternoon.
Break just Above Ankle.
Pollock, who was easily the best
halfback that the Badgers have had in
years, Is out of the game for the re-
matnder of the season. An x ray ex-
animation which was made at the hos
ital today showed the bone to be 'brok-
en- four inches above the ankle. His
leg was put in a cast and it will. be
three weeks before he is able to leave
the hospital. =.
Pollock Was Marked Man..
In explaining the accident, he said
that he had just been tackled by, the
three Iowa players and that he felt
some one give his foot a sudden jerk.
When the players piled off Of him
O'Brien had his leg squeezed in under
his right arm. 1t was plainly evident
from the stands that Pollock was a
marked" man from the beginning OF
the game. Once in the first quarter,
of the Hawkeye. forwards planted
his knee In his face after the whistle
had been sounded. The officials saw
the act and for some unknown reason
merely inflicted the 1ifteen-yard PEN
atty when the player should have been
removed from the field, say the Cardi-
nal players.
Couch is DOWnllcartcd.
Coach Richards, who returned from
the Minnesota-C Chicago game Sunday
morning, was doWncast over the in
jury to his star halfback. 1t is not
known who will be used at the posi-
ton, but it will undoubtedly go to
either Bright, Alexander or Tormcy.
All three are excellent performers,
but hardly in a class with Pollock, the
injured player. The coach will put
the men through some. hard practice
this week in order to get. them into
shape for Minnesota two weeks hence,
for after watching the game, Coach
Richards is certain that his men can
still give the Gophers a hard battle.
The other players came out of the
gruelling battle without a scratch.

that the latter had TO be assisted from

ENGLISH ATHLETES COMING

Oxford and Cambridge are planning
to come to this country mex June for
an international match with Yale and
Harvard. 1t is said that President Bak-
er of the Cambridge University Ath-
letic club has started a correspondence
with that end in view. To judge from
the gossip afloat it seems that the Eng
ltshmen want to come early in June
so that they can be home in time to
start for the Olympic games at Stock
holm. They could not come later in
the month nor could they come in
May on account Of the college term.
Very likely the first week in June will
suit the Yale and Harvard men as it
will be just after the intercollegiate
championships. when the athletes will
be keyed up to their best form.

ENGLAND HAS HAMMER

The poor old boxing game! No
sooner does one state lift it's ban on
the game than another comes along
and kicks it u Yet it remains for
England apparently to put the kibosh
on the game of gloves. It is rather
hard to see British authorities putting
the ban on the sport. especially as the
English have done much more to de-
velop the game than we have on this
side Of the water. In the British
Isles it is planned to make it illegal
for one fighter to knock out another.
In short, they are robbing the game
of its best charm and Its most power
full asset for honesty and interest. 1t is
hoped that they don't limit the sport
to straight boxing, as that would mean
plenty of taking.

PREPARE FOR BADGERS.

Minneapolis. Nov. AFTER two
days rest from the game with Chi
cago Saturday, the Minnesota foot
ball squad will begin hard work to-
day in preparation for the game Of No

The loss Of Tom Shevlin, who has
been helping Williams coaching the
Minnesota team. and who yesterday
returned to Yalo to aid in the work
there. will be felt severely. it is said,
and the supporters of the Minnesota
aggregation declare the battle with
Wisconsin will be much more difficult
than that with Chicago. Williams
opinion of the Wisconsin team was
expressed when he said:
There is always a hoodoo waiting
for us at Camp Randall, and we are
going to have to work to win that
game"

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 1.-The bas-

awaiting the advent of next week, at
which time the first practice Of the
year will be held at the armory. There
is considerable good basketball ma
terial in Bismarck if all of the play
ers will get out and work faithfully and
try for the team. The approaching
end of the football season while it
means nothing in this city, presages
the dawn of the basketball season and

local talent turns out and a good team
is assured a good schedule Of contests
will be seen here during the winter

MINNESOTA TEAM
IN CHAMPION CLASS
The Game Saturday Showed
the Gopher's Wonderful
Machine

Chicago. No. 7.-Saturday's foot
ball games IN the middle west appar-
entity narrowed the championship of
the big eight" conference universities
to the Universities of Minnesota and
Wisconsin. These two teams are the
only ones in the conference remaining
u~ndefeated. and the coming game be-
tween them probably will decide the
title.
Minnesota showed on Saturday that
it has a championship team. The CO.
pliers played a game against Chicago,
winning 80 to 0. and revealed a
strength that had not been suspected.
Wisconstn's chance with the Gophers
will be handicapped by the loss of Pol
lock. one of the most reliable Badger
ground gamers, who was injured in
Saturdays. game in which Wisconsin
defeated Iowa IL to Q.
That Minnesota had concealed her
real strength in h games with Ne
Oraska n Iowa was the freely en-
pressed opinion of experts who Wit
messed the defeat of the Maroons. A
variety of football was uncovered on
Northrop field on Saturday that was
Gopher backs had been perfected in
the high knee action" which baffled
Maroon tacklers again and again. All
had been coached to run low and lift
their knees in a manner effectively to
"uppercut" tacklers.
Capron proved himself as good an
open field runner as has been seen in
a western conference game for some
years. Pickering. Rosenwald and Ste
vens were even superior to Capron in
gaining through the line.
After such a defeat. Coach Stage
of Chicago will try to mend his weak
spots, but some say hat he lacks the
material. For its weight Chicago is
still a good team. and the Maroons
have a fair chance Of rolling up a
series of victories in the remainder Of
their games.
In the a s not one of the big ones
can claim a clean slate. and there is
likely to be much dispute in awarding
the title.

CHIPS OF THE OLD BLOCK

Chips OF h old block are making
good in football this year. At Yale
Walter Camp Jr.. played great football
on Saturday. In fact, he was really
the sensation of the game and will
undoubtedly be given a chance to make
good in the backfield. His father, Wal
ter Camp. is the dean of football at
Yale. Baker, the Princeton halfback,
is the son of a former Princeton star.
The fathers of these two youths OPP
posed each other in the famous Prince
ton-Yale game in 1881 which ended in
a 90 tie. History may repeat this
year.
