INSIDE GRlDlRoN TIPS
BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.


One of the first things an end must
learn to do is to get across the line
of scrimmage. If occasion requires 1t,
an end must be able to intercept for
ward passes. For instance, if the op-
posing line spreads out and the end
is sure a pass is coming, it is his duty
to drop back and thus become de-
fensive back. The ends must ever
lastingly follow the ball at all times.
They should be coached to expect
every punt to be fumbled and then
they will be ready to pick up the ball
when it is fumbled.
Some famous long runs have been
made by ends who have had a nose"
for the ball. Sam White, the old
Princeton end, defeated both Yale and
Harvard in 1910 by his ability to fol-
low the ball: Jeff Coolidge, who
made himself famous by a 9O-yard run
against Yale in that $50 game, was
one of the best men have ever seen
for following the ball. For four years,
including his freshman year, he was
down on every punt and always ready
to grab the ball if it was fumbled. 1t
so happened that there were very few
fun mbles. but on this particular occa-
sion in the Yale game his chance canfe
and he made the best of it.
An end should be heavy, if possible,
but he must also be fast on his feet.
shifty, quick thinking, and, above all.
aggressive The best com mbination is
a heavy man who is also fast, but if
any qualification must be sacrificed. if
is better to sacrifice weight rather
than speed and quick thinking. Doug
Bomeisler, the old Yale end, was one
of the best ends I ever played against.
He combined weight with speed and
aggressiveness and was brafny in his
methods of Copyright, Wheel

JAYHAWKERSBUS
OlcOtt's Men Are Working Hard
for Game With WaShburn.
Foster Will Be Back at Old PO-
sitiOn-Heath Still Out.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. S.-Active
preparation for the game with the
Washburn Ichabods was begun by the
K U. coaches on McCook field Tues
day night, and scrimmage is on the
schedule for every night up to Friday
Practically all of the men came thru
the Sooner game without injury and
Coaches Olcott and Clark announce
that they will be in better condition
when they meet the Ichabods than
they were last week. Foster, who was
in the Oklahoma game only a few
minutes. will be back at his old posi-
ton Saturday and Fast, Pringle and
Woodward will all battle against the
blue.
Heath Still Out.
Speed Heath, who has been out
since the Normal game, is still on the
doubtful list. 1t has been expected
that ne would be able to get in the
last three games, but when the time
came the coaches were afraid to take
a chance of again injuring him, and
it is said they may. not let him play
this week.
While they are working hard to pre-
vent any kind of a surprise being
sprung on them at Topeka, the Jay
hawkers also are putting in a few
licks for the Nebraska game Saturday
week and Coach McCarty is busy
drilling his men in Husker formations
to familiarize the varsity with these
plays.

need MORE SANS
Kennedy Would Like to Use
Stewart in Several Places.
Lineup for Big Saturday Game
Is Still Uncertain.

With the big X. U. game only three
days off no one, not even Coach Ken
nedy, seems to know what the line up
of the Ichabods will be Eyhen they face
the Jayhawkers on the initial kick off.
1t has been rumored that Captain
Stewart will begin the contest at quar-
terback with an unfamiliar line and
backfield undertaking the task of
beating back the heavy Olcott men.
Il don't know just yet how the
team will start" DR.. Kennedy said to-
day. Yes. 1 may use Stewart at quar-
terback-in fact. may use him al
most anywhere-he is so valuable and
is needed in so many places that it is
one of the big jobs we have when we
attempt to place him. For his own
sake. he ought to be started at tackle
and kept there. and he is badly need
ed in the line. but he is also badly
needed in the backfield and if I don't
use him at quarter. half or fullback,
/ may compromise by sending him in
at end or center"
Handicapped at Tackle.
The fact that Stewart does most of
the punting and passing, in addition
to carrying the ball a great deal,
makes it hard for him to play con-
sistent lire position, and for this rea-
son the coach likes to have him in the
back field But, so far. no one has
been found to take his position in the
line and fill it satisfactorily and al
ways when he is taken out his loss is
made very apparent.
Stewart is mighty good about sac
rificing his own ambitions for the
good of the team" Kennedy said, land
can do the most good. He certainly
is proving a very valuable man. and
the only fault I can find with him is
the fact that he hasn't been able to
fit himself into more than one place
ut time"
Probable Starters.
Colvin is pretty certain to start the
game at center, with Benton and Will
son or Shaw at guard positions and
Logan and probably a new man at
II tackle positions. Calihan and
Trull may be placed at the end po-
sitions. altho some of the dopesters
are inclined to believe they will be
held in reserve with second string men
in their regular positions. Perry un-
doubtedly will be entrusted with the
burdens of the fullback's shoes, and
the halves will be picked from Sar-
gent. Stewart, Champeny, McCosh,
Hope, Davis and probably some of
the other utility men.
Tuesday Nights Practice.

the routine program and a scrimmage
tilt with the freshmen. The regulars
continued to tear thru the yearline
