Last years rules favored the de-

the extreme II appears that in their
effort To strengthen the offense the
rulemakers have gone TO the other
boundary, and that scoring this year
is likely to be enormous and that
any defense developed will be help

field working to gain 10 yards in four
downs

opposing forward, and then of a
heavy man bent on making two or
three yards. He will not, i'm all prob

dairy defense. To weaken the defensive
backline unduly will be simply an m
vitation to the offense to work the now
unrestricted forward pass to its hearts
content.
The situation will be much the
same as Iost faced when Notre Dame
beat Michigan and which, later in
the same year. he compelled Penn
sylvania to meet. The threat of tho
forward pass was always there, but
the play itself was no great factor
in the scoring. Instead. the first de-
fcnse was simply battered down by
straight football while the backs
waited helplessly for the forward
pass that didn't come.

GAMES BETWEEN
WINNERS ARE OFF
Neither Ishpeming or Negaunee
to Meet Escanaba Team

The Escanaba management and play
ers. by their attempted holdup of both
the Ishpeming and Negaunee teams
last week. spoiled all chances OF post
season games with either nine. Me-
eaunee feels that Escanaba put one
over" and lshpeming feels much the
same way. Manager Simons has an
nounced under no circumstances will
he give Escanaba a series of games,
and the Negaunee management takes
the same position, says the Mining
Journal
Ishpeming made pahlgren an offer of
$50 to pitch. Saturdays game. He prac-
tically accepted the terms. but later
called up Pop Geelan by telephone
and asked him If the offer could not
be raised to SIS. as Negaunee was
after him, also. Mr.. Geelan consulted
Manager Simons. who declined to have
ANYTHING more TO do with Dahlgren. or
the Escanaba team. The Negaunee
management was then informed that
Ishpeming had offered 500 for Dahl
cren's services. and was asking If l.
would not raise the BIRD. The offer was
increased to S125. with the under
standing that both Dahlgren and Pres
sv be sent up. Not being satisfied with
this and the good price that was paid
for the services of Lehr and Lind
auist during the fair series. Dahlgren
and Pressy were sent up from Es-
canada by automobile, instead of by
train with the request that they col
lect $3.50 from the Negaunee man
agement for the use Of the automo
bile.
Would Meet Calumet.
Unless the Calumet baseball team
pulls itself together and plays off it's tie
game with Negaunee, the outcome of
the pennant race will be i'm dispute.
at least so far as Negaunee is con-
ccrned. BY winning this game Negau-
nee could tie Ishpeming for the pen
nant. and then the Hematite city team
would have TO give Negaunee another
game. The tie game with Calumet
was called at the end of the seventh
inning. because of darkness. The Ne
gaunee management does not ask a
forfeiture of this game, but desires
TO meet Calumet again, I'm order that
the team may have another chance at
Ishpeming.
The action of the Calumet manage
ment in quitting the league was sur
prise and a disappointment to the
Negaunee fans. Because of the Calu-
met nincs strong financial backing II
was thought that IL would surely finish
the season, I'm spite of Marquette's
withdrawal.
That baseball has been altogether
too expensive this year is now conceded
by the supporters of all the teams
The receipts of the games this year
indicate that teams costing about $500
a month would be self supporting but
when the salary list is stretched from
$1,000 to S1.500 month there is nc
possible chance of breaking even. Tn,
Negaunee team will probably be from
5000 to $500 shy of sufficient fund;
70 clean up the bills. end lshpemine
will probably be from S400 to $500
short.
