TECH DISPLAYED
MUCH PROMISE
IN OPENER

Those fans of the gridiron sport who
follow the game closely enough to
know the rules and the various changes
which take place in them from year to
year were disappointed in their hopes
of seeing them put to the test in Sat
urdays game between the Eleventh
Cavalry and the Yellow Jacket teams.
Straight football was used almost
entirely, and the old style line plays
were very much in evidence. they being
used by both sides to no advantage.
neither side putting the ball across in
the entire game.
The field was wet and heavy, and the
ball was thoroughly soaked, and there
fore the forward pass was not used to
any advantage and trick plays were out
of the question as such plays require
fast handling of the ball and accurate
passing, and neither was possible un-
der the conditions
Everything being considered, Tech
shauId have had the game, and would
have had it if just little more head
work had been used at the right time.
Iech bucklng was extra good, GOIey
and Leuhrman going for good gains
nearly every time called The back
field also did fairly good work in this
respect, but as they had to wait until
the ball was caught before getting a
start they were necessarily hindered,
and on this account the end runs were
not up to their usual value. 1t was ex-
tremely hard for the interference to
form under the weather conditions and
being 50 heavily outweighed, the in
reference was of little value and the
man with the ball was generally down
ed before he got started good.
Fumbling was also very noticeable
on the part of the Techites, and this
came near proving fatal more than once
and did keep them from scoring

NOR the first time in seven years
the rule is (again) that, in
the case of a punt by one
team, the punter's side Is not put
ON side" the instant the ball
touches the ground. Prior to these
seven fat years the kicker's team
mates always had to wait until the
ball had first been touched by an
opponent before they were put on
side.
Then if the opposing fullback on
defense, or whoever was trying to
handle the punt. saw fit not to try
to catch the ball on the fly because
of the fact that it was. saw seem
lngly out of reach for any except a
most difficult chance he usually let
it fall to the ground and roll where
1t pleased. This he could afford to
do and be leisurely about getting
to 1t, and falling on it, or picking
1t up; for no matter how fast op-
ponents had come down UNDER the
punt, they had no right to touch
the ball until one sof the receiving
side had first touched it.
We then had the laughable. sit
uation often presented Of the ball
feebly wabbling around on the
ground and one man of the receiv-
ing side most carefully tiptoeing
around it until he could get in such
a position as to satisfy himself
that he was absolutely capable of
falling on the ball and holding it.
without giving the half dozen men
Of the other team-alI of whom
were standing around him like hun
CRY wolves-a chance to steal it
from him after he made his plunge
for it.
We will, no doubt, have this sort
of thing happen again a good many
times this fall and laymen will
wonder and ask why everybody
seems to be so afraid of touching
the ball, when usually they are
only too anxious to get a chance to
lay hands on it, That's a point
they must brush up on.
The matter regarding which | am
about to raise an objection is that
since the kicker's side can not
touch the ball until it has first
given chance to opponents to re-
cover it by letting them touch it
and since there is no twenty
yard zone this year, and since it
is not intended that the kicking

why should the punter be COM

such a punt, the same as he is
compelled to do when making a for
ward pass?

hElSMAN'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF GRIDIRON GAME

neither team had seen any occa-
sion to change their style of de-
Tense. no matter that the rules
governing defensive play had met
with great changes since a year
ago.
This is in line with my own fore
cast For the offensive rule changes
may, for the most past, be said to
be changes of degree and not of
kind. hence there is no need to
make changes in the KIND of de-
Tense. The changes of degree that
should be made by a defensive team
have to do with such factors as
adding more weight and speed. de-
veloping sharper tackling ability,
more careful drilling op breaking
up interference, and ability to sus-
tain punishment SO as not to give
out before the attacking teams
four trials have been exhausted
And these changes of degree will
keep any team busy without wor-
rying over other new wrinkles in
defense
A SUMMARY of the reports from
various Southern colleges
seem to indicate that Georgia and
Vanderbilt have Jared best in the
matter of material on hand, both
old and new, and both should have
g. wonderfully good teams; indeed,
the Red and Black is likely to have
quite the best team in its history.
Clemson claims to have nine old
men back and lot Of fine new
material, while Mercer is right at
the heels of the Tigers in quantity
of both old and new material
The material at Tech-welI
nothing doing There is very little
old and none new The line aver
ages exactly 1853 pounds. and the
back field exactly $50, so if they
accomplish anything at all you
will have to give them proper
credit for it.

SOME PEOPLE STILL DOUBT THE WONDERFUL
POWERS OF QUAKER EXTRACT, SO HERE is
ANOTHER CURE OF A DECATUR MAN
FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE

Wonderful, wonderful indeed. are the
curative powers OF Quaker Extract
This fact is being proven every day
right here in Decatur and Atlanta
Hundreds and hundreds Of people have
been cured Of rheumatism. catarrh and
stomach troubles. They are people YOU
knoW-your neighbors, your friends,
your acquaintances Many OF these peo-
pie have allowed their testimonials to
be printed in the daily pa pers, thereby
acknowledging openly their cure by
Quaker In spite Of All these proofs,
there are still many people VINO say:
- can not be cured. so What is the use

away. why longer order him TO go
back there? Why not let him kick
the ball in any part of the field
and at any time he sees fit-since
his own side can not recover It,
anyway, until opponents have had
first shot at it?
g AY a team takes common
~ kick formation. Well, if they
actually kick the ball the OPP
posing sides backs on defense are
permitted by rule this year to once
more fall under the kickers ends
a. they come down the field Well
and good. But suppose the punter
after getting the ball from his snap
per, takes it into his head that he
has a fine opportunity to make
forward pass to some man of his
who seems to be uncovered-and
he makes the pass.
Then instantly his own end who
had started down the field like an
express train to retrieve what per
haps he himself fully expected was
going to be a punt. emits fearful
howl that the opposing side back,
instead of trying to catch this for
ward pass himself (Which is all he
is allowed to do with a forward
pass play), has willfully mali
ciously, violently and half a dozen
other ways interfered with said
end by humping into him, tum-
bling under him. tripping him up,
etc, etc, All this may be true
enough hut it is certainly going
to be unjust to penalize that de-
fensive side back for doing what he
undoubtedly ought to do in case it
had been punt. And how is he to
know the difference? Carefully
watching the end, as is his bust
ness. and being thereby unable to
watch the punter or passer, how
can he tell whether it is going to
be a punt or a pass?
Had the committee permitted
kicks to be made any old place in
the field (Which point have just
fused over), it might help him
some; but to compel the kicker
to go back to the same spot or
distance to which they send the
passer leaves no chance for the
defensive team to DO any diagnos-
ing.
As it stands, it's going to be
risky for a team to try falling
under the kicker's ends just be
cause they think it may be a kick,
for if it should happen to be a for
ward pass they are going to find
themselves heavily penalized, with
the passer's side getting first down
out Of it in the bargain.
7 NOTE from the account of the
first game of the season, which
took place between the Carlisle
Indians and Albright college, that
both teams played exactly the same
style of team defense that they

WILL FORMULATE PLANS
FOR PROPOSED SHIP CANAL,

Definite plans as to what action the
Board of Works will take in acquiring
lands for the proposed ship canal will
be mapped out Monday when the COM
missioners will meet with City Attor-
ney Boggs and take up the question.
Chief Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd now
favors spending the 81, 900, 900 %appropria-
ton solely for purchasing land in the
canal zone and not for a single part of
the construction.
1t is believed that the board will
start the acquiring of land soon after
the meeting. There is every reason to
believe that the board Will accept the
valuation fixed by the recent struck
jury. What action the board will take
on seven additional tracts will be dis
cussed.
