'ECk|E' REEVES
SECTIONAL DOPE
ON FOOTBALL
Says East Produces Better lndi-
viduaI Stars, While West De-
veIops Better Team Play,
By j. w. McConaughy.

\N7ALrER EckERsALL' one of
wv the noblest gladiators of them
all, is reviving the old sec
tional stuff on football. He Is quoted
as recently making some comparisons
between the East and the West.
"'rhe East produces better individ-
usal play and the West better team
work" says Mr.. Eckersall
In the great day when he was quar-
terback of the Chicago University
eleven this slim and nimble- footed
young man made a record Of individ-
ual usefulness to a football team that
will probably stand as long as football
is played. n one year he practically
beat every team in the Western con-
ference single handed. This isn't
overstating it. That is just about
what he did.
Kick From Any Angle.
All that he required of his team
mates was to get him little way in
side OF the middle line of the field, and
his toe did the rest. He could kick a
near any distance up to so yards. He
was in the flower of his form in a
year when Michigan and Wisconsin
were unusually strong, and he beat
both of these great universities al
most without aid.
Directed Team While Resting.
While resting il was his business to
direct the attack of the Chicago team
This was a natural selection, as it
was up to Eckersall to pick out the
spot that he would like to kick the
next goal from, 1t simplified matters
TO have him direct the play in that
direction.
Also he was a wonderfully sure
tackler and quick guesser on the
defense. summing up, he was a mar
vel at every branch of the game ex-
Cept line bucking, and he was without
q peer as q drop kicker and a runner
through a broken field
Ii is evident that Eckersall ought to
know what he is talking about when
he says that individual play is the
bigger feature in Eastern football
Yet, in spite of the fame of Eckersan
Heston, O'Dea and many another
great star of the big Western univer-
stiles, none was ever 50 noted as "the
Michigan machine

equally well with either hand, but

Lead with the left and use the
right for defensive purposes until
his opponent is in such a state of
helplessness that the right can go
over without much chance.

GROCERS WILL
CD IN BODY To
TO-DAY'S CANE
1t Is Last Game Of Home Stay,
Too, Before Long Road Trip
and Big Crowd Will Be Out.
BY Percy H. Whiting.

ETS all forget about Tuesday ana
remember only that this Is
Grocers' and Butchers Day, not
to mention Wholesalers and Retail
ers' Day and a few such. Just to
show their sporting blood, the gro
GERS and butchers have bought a
block of 1000 seats in advance for
to-day.
In honor of all this. and because
it is the Crackers last day at home
before a tremendous road trip, a band
will be out and there will be large
celebrations.
Also the game will be the rubber
between the Crackers and the Bill
kens II will be called at o'clock, as
the Crackers must leave early to catch
the New Orleans train.
WELL, If you can't forget yester-
days game here's how ii hap
pened
In the first place, E. Brown, who
was pie on Monday, was rank "pizen
on Tuesday For eight innings he
loosened right up and let the Crack
ers have a hit. Not a hit an inning
Overwhelmingly one in eight
Naturally, they didn't make any
progress against that sort of hurl-
ing
In the second place. Good Old GIL
Price, the willingest worker of them
all, and a grand hurler at times tried
to come back. And he didn't find
the coming good. He was in no bet
ter trim than Monday and was hit
hard. The Crackers played only a
moderate fielding game.
In consequence, the Billikens
romped.
The score was to I.
On. yea, Mobile won, too. So we're
~ right back where we were be-
fore the jollification meeting which
followed Mondays games.
But don't worry over It,
The Crackers are going to have
trouble for the next few weeks. Be
sure of that. They are going out on
a tough journey. The season is edging
along to its most trying time for ball
players. A journey these days,
through the heat, the daily stacking
up against hotel fare; the letting
down that results from weather and
other conditlOns-they all make il
hard for ball players.
1t is up to the Crackers to swing
onto every game and to win what
they can. If they can get through this
series with a presentable showing,
they have a swell chance for the
pennant
THIS reluctance of baseball mag
mates TO deliver to the Crackers
the pitchers that they sell them
and this coyness of the hurlers in
reporting. is making it tough sailing
for Bill Smith To lose Pop Boy
Smith and Leiaeld both within a few
days Is a blow to any club
The Crackers must have a pitcher
or two If they are to show. They
know 1t and are working to that end
But getting pitchers seems a tough
game these days.
THE Mobile team will bear watching
right along Yesterday Mike
Firms crippled club made a slatber
of swats off Sommers. Every time
we think the Gulls are slipping, they
turn around and beat some star
pitcher There is more come back
to them than there is to a rubber
ball They will take a lot of head
ing this season. Any team that can
live through a slump complicated with
injuries the way the Guls have is
hard to get out of first place.

Britton. And that difference repre-

young fellow who has just come out
of the ring with him after eighteen
