near the ends, to block the forward
passes.
Secondary Defense Weak.
But with abolishment of the twenty
yard zone. the secondary defense is lef
without a base to Work from. Now Il
will be possible to pass the ball as far
forward as the team pleases. which
means practically as far as a swift enc
can travel while the opposing team 1:
being blocked.
To the secondary defense, or to some
new arrangement Of defense, will be left
the task OF stopping such plays, and
judging by the speed OF the ends that
was displayed last season It will not be
an easy one.
Old Line Smashes.
On the other hand. the game, as pre-
dicted from new rules, offers exceptional
opportunities for a modified form Of the
old line smashes With four trials to
make the required ten yards instead OF
the three downs. this years game prom
ises the use OF the plunging play.
Plunging under the three-down rule and
with assistance prohibited gave little op-
portunity for long gains where the de-
fense was fairly strong. Now. with an
additional trial. just that much more
chance is brought in play. And besides
the secondary defense bids fair not TO
have its strong position Immediately back
OF the line and ready to stop any back
who managed to break through the
guards or tackles. This defense will
be watching for long forward passes
and the work of playing thirty yards
down the field and Immediately back OF
center seems impossible.
It's n Tough Problem.
So 1t is indeed a problem. and one that
will be watched with interest by every
lover of the gridiron game. That such
geniuses as Fielding II. Yost and Walter
Camp have already formed some plan
goes without saying. They have always
had plans way in advance. But for the
average "rooter'' and the coach Of less
ability. the situation is far from clear,
and probably will not be till the masters
have shown the way.

Maryland Agricultural College. The
largest squad which has ever turned out

Of Tome Institute; Smith. from one of
the other high schools, and several 9TH
ers have the appearance of football

nary performers also. Giebel and Posey
were other new men who gave every
indication of making good.

Ends Look Good.
Capt. Hegarty. Van Brocklin. and Tad
Donnelly held down the end positions
and all showed up well -Donnelly is a
greatly improved player over last year,
and will make somebody hustle for a job.
Tad is a willing worker, and goes at
his work with a dash that is pleasing to
the coaches.
Sam Foley and Callan handled the men.
and both show great promise. Foley is
a fast, aggressive player. and will put up
a tough fight for the position, although
Costello will make a place on the eleven.
Nine Point Harry must get into the
game. Callan is another good man.
Georgetown is fortunate in having three
such capable performers.
The back field of the first squal looked
rather nifty. Derby, the former V. P. 1.

BASEBALL FANS
ARE FIGHTING
TO GAIN LEAD
Have All Caught the Battle Spirit,
and the Race Will Be q
Close One.
SEE THE STANDING TOMORROW

There are less than two weeks before
the close OF The Herald's Great Worlds
Series Contest. In that brief period prob
ably the greatest fighting of the cam
paign will be done. All OF the fans have
caught the fighting spirit, and the race
from now on will be a pretty one, and
one worth watching. The great days of
the Worlds Series are also drawing near.
and The Herald's Special will soon be a
reality. instead OF a prospect.
Therefore, ii requires all the strength
and all the resources a fan can bring into
play. in order to insure. his winning OF
free trip. Many things may happen
within these closing days OF the contest
may be displaced by others who up to
this time have not been figured as being
in the running.
Now Is the time for your friends to
rally TO your assistance. and pound out
every vote for you that they possibly
can. Get them together or see them
singly. and impress upon them the fact
that you need big increase in votes in
order to assure yourself of a place among
the winners. Tell them not to think be-
cause you have a high place that you are
certain OF victory. Any candidate in the
race. no matter how far behind you he
may be, can beat you out by steady, per-
sistent work.
II you do not stand well up with the
leader in your district, don't be discour-
aged. even though you think you cannot
pass that number. II isn't the candidate
with the largest number of votes that
you must pass in order to win. You
merely have 90 finish among the first
four in your district. Keep up your nerve
and don't worry about a danger that
doesn't exist. The candidate who finishes
first in his district will not win any bet
ter trip or have any better accommoda-
tions than the one who finishes fourth.
The standings OF the candidates will
again be published in to-morrow's paper.
Where are you going to be in the list?
