)pen Football Game GenerallY Played Ihis Year

fFlEzE season just closing has seen fur-I
 ther development Of the open style Of football game. While the pass plays that marked the game d few years ago have not been entirely abandoned. they have been used less than formerly, and spead has gained in Importance. while beet and brawn have lost their effec- ttR4ness. The result has been a dis- tincf gain to players and Spectators alike
 tant change In football in many years. has been largely responsible for the changed system. It has not been per feeted blit great advaneeme nt has been made and next season is likely to see the forward pass used more fre- quently and with greater success.
 The smaller colleges have gained by the changed style in play Tn the old days the schools with attendance of a fourth or their big rivals had no chance against the big fellows. When the smaller college team went against Har- vard Yale or Princeton the result was certain beforehand and the huskies from the big college got nothing more than a workout like they had in daily practice against the scrub teams of their own institutions
 All this has been changed With the forward pass. the wide end runs and the spread formations the team swith alert and speedy players has no fear of the eleven with a line so formidable as to be able to crush all in front of it There will be little in front for the line to crush
 The open game has won in spite of the coaches. and especially the coaches Of the big eastern teams. The western schools and the smaller colleges have demonstrated its feasibility and it's ad- vantages, and this year Ya1e and Princeton have adopted 1t and have dazzled their opponents with dashing, beWildering open attack With these big colleges leading the way, the others have fallen Into line. and the old sys- tenn of line plunge after line plunge, with punt if there were a few yards Co gain on ehe third down. has been sent to the discard.
 With the forward pass here to stay because it has proved it's value. the coaches are trying to evolve a defense that will be effective. At present they have not reached conclusion. but they are working on the problem. and they will be able to report progress by next year The task is not easy Deciding oia how to place men in such position as to cover all possible holes in the line take care of opponents who receive the forward pass and guard against wide end runs, quick kicks, double pass es. trick plays and line bucks is enough to make football general grow gray.
 The game of football consists in ad- Tauc1ng of the ball by one side anc trying to stop this advance by the oth- er In order to do this properly 1t is necessary to get speaking terms with bunch of intricate rules, and tE1il requires time and study.

GERMAN GOVERNOR OF KIAo-
CHOW SAYS HE HAD POOR
GUNS TO DEFEND THE PLACE.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Toxic, Dec. 19.-Lack Of soldiers and
modern equipment caused the defeat
at Tsingtau, according to General
Meyer -Waldeck, German governor Of
Kiao-C Chow, who is held prisoner at
F'ukuoka- In an interview with
Japanese newspaper man the general
declared Il would have required at
least 10000 men, armed with modern
guns, to have resisted the japanese
attacks, whereas he had a total Of only
about $500 men and most of the guns
in the Tsingtau fortress were of an
old type.
"Au our supply Of explosives had
been exhausted when the Japanese be-
gan the final attack" he said $50 we
could offer no resistance and all forts
fell easy victims. With our force we
could not oppose the Japanese, who
had between $4,000 and 10000 picked
troops assisted by 1000 British troops
with over a hundred powerful guns.
"a large number of our conpatants
were wounded in the previous fighting
and we called out all German residents
in Tsingtau. We had one II year old
boy and three Is year old boys. They
were employed in the automobile
transportation work"
About 200 Germans were killed and
500 wounded, according to the general

Japanese artillery bombardment was
at it's height, he declared, between 800
and 500 shells hit each fort daily.
AS the bonn oardment of the artillery

SOME APPREHENSION
FELT IN !. ENGLAND

London, Oct. 7.-The announce
ment that the Germans have again as.
sumed the offensive in the east and
west ends of the battle lines in France
has caused some apprehension here
that the government may be holding
back important news.
This continues in face of denials
by the officials, who declare that what
ever ground was yielded will be re-
gained when the reinforcements now
being moved reach their new posi-.
tions.
The explanation given by the critics
for the great activity of the Germans
is that they have discovered they
cannot keep the spirits of their men
by a defensive campaign. So they are
stalking everything on series of
blows at the points of the battle line
that their military aviators have de-
cided are the weakest.
It is known that there have been

frontier. These Withdrawals must
have been reported to Won Kluck and
Won Boehm, who have taken advan.

WOUNDED BLEED TO

Paris, Oct. 7.-Reports from the
front say the scenes Of suffering
among the wounded have so worked
on the nerves of the men that as far
as possible the trains carrying these
invalids are moved under cover OF
darkness.
This also has the added advantage
Of preventing the extent of casualties
being learned by the German air
scouts, who are extremely active de.
spite heavy losses.
The sufferings of the. wounded are
indescribable. Because of the con-
stant fighting it is impossible for the
Red Cross in a systematic manner to
gather those who cannot reach the
rear themselves. In consequence
many who might otherwise be saved
lie where they fall and bleed to death
Others 60 insane from their suffer
ings, and the wild screams of some OF
those on the hospital trains are blood
curdling as they pass through the
hospital camps.
