THORPE A DRAWING CARD.
Glenn Warner Has Great Athlete to
 Bring Crowds Out to Games.
coachsof the Carlisle

Glenn Warner, coacAsof the Carlisle Indian eleven, skilled above any of his rivals in the ability to pack stadiums where his elevens appear, will have this year in the presence of Jim Thorpe the greatest drawing card on the foot bal field. Thorpe, fresh from his tri- umphs in the Olympic games at Stock holm is now the best known athlete i'll the world. He would be famous were he white man. but to be the most nota ble of aI-round performers. and also an Indian, thus carrying all the romance that goes with aboriginal ex- traction is going to mean a rush to see Thorpe perform on the gridiron.
 This is q big consideration at Car lisle, where there is no athletic asso- citation to furnish funds to support the team, no rich graduates to come to the rescue. The government does not make any allowance for the training of the squad nor the support of foot ball. This puts the proposition sharp ly up to Warner. and he mas shown his ability to make good. His fast flying fighting Indian teams have for the past decade proved the best draw ing cards Of all football eIeyens.
 Outside of the turnout for special games like Yale Harvard, Yale-Prince- ton, Harvard Princeton, Army Navy, Pennsylvania Michigan, etc, no eleven attracts the multitudes who go to see the Indians, and this year wit hThorpe as a member the interest will be still greater.
 Thorpe is captain of The team. and is rated among the greatest players the Institution ever produced He is .

MORE EXCITING CONTESTS.
A. A. Stagg Believes Football Will Be
 Thrilling This Year.

Football fashions will be decidedly bold and daring this fall. Spectacular effects in forward passes will be much used, and the open game In general will be popular. The delicate pastel shades will be superseded by the real red blooded article of gridiron pastimA This forecast of the season's trend in football matters Is founded upon Coach A. A. Stagg's opinions upon the new rules which are in the ime- light at the University of Chicago The maroon director guarantees a maximum of boredom for the 1912 rooters.
 Coach Stagg is particularly interest ed in the removal of the so-called 20- yard zone from the statutes governing the forward pass and the provision that touchdown shall result when 1 forward pass is received beyond tn goal line in the new 10-yard end zone. AS Coach Stagg has been chief ex- ploiter of the pass since it's adoption in 1906, his plans concerning the change are of no less interest to coaches, players and fans. The ma. room teacher has stuck to the forward pass with undiminished faith throughout its history and the indi-
 
 use it as the most striking part of his repertory. He was unable because of illness to attend the 1912 meeting of the rules committee, but he has &C., cepted the change in good part and promises to utilize 1t for new and startling variations of open field play.
 With no limit whatever on the for ward pass this year, the game will be mighty interesting, to say the least,' he asserted in commenting on the rules. Tt will be case of continual surprises for the players and for the spectators, and nobody will be able to say that he hasn't had his share of sensations when the game Is over. Any number of sensational things are likely to happen. It is quite simple. Some player takes a notion to make record breaking throw to a teammate near the goal line or beyond 1t. Bingo A touchdown has been scored-maybe. There is no doubt but that this change is highly important and will affect ths game in many ways.
 Beyond doubt the new rules have strengthened the offense and weakened the defense. It will probably be com mon to see a small team unable tO furnish a worthy defense against a strong machine, and yet spring an eff fective attack. The thing is likely to work both ways, of course. do not wish to discuss the intentions of the rules committee in adding & fourth down In 10 yards. I think it is true that a rushing game will frequently result from this change. but am not prepared to say to what extent the old-style bucking game will be re- vived."

Big Jeff Tesreau, the ninth New Yorker to go to the plate in the inning, singled past Wood, and Mey- CTS came home with the fifth run.
