MULTIPLE KICK IS LATEST STUNT
 ON THE GRIDIRON

New York, Nov. 4-Every football season brings some new play or series of plays to the foye and although the present one is scarcely half completed several novel gridiron wrinkles have already made their, appearance. The innovation to attract the greatest amount of attention, in the East at least, is what is known as the 'Muf- tiple Kick" perfected by Foster San- ford, coach of the Rutgers College eleven. Strange to say it is not series of kicks, as it's appellation would appear to indicate. but. single place kick in which several players assist in the holding of the ball while another supplies the propelling power.
 It is development of the old try for a field goal from placement, which the quarterback after receiving the ball from the center dropped to one knee and held the spheroid while the fullback or some other player tried to convert the drive into 8 field goal. Under the new method, two players stretch themselves at full length upon the ground, heads opposite each other and at right angles to the di- rection of the kick, at a point about i've yards back of the scrimmage line Directly behind them stands the >quar- terback, while behind him is located |ahe player who is to make the kick. When the center passed the ball it is receive by the quarter who stoops and places it it an upright position upon the ground while the players, already prone, reach out and hold it steady with one or both hands. Hav- ing accomplished his part in the play, the quarter jumps quickly to one side and the actual kicker steps or runs forward and drives the bal into the opponents territory for a field goal or punt.
 The particular advantage of the Multiple Kick over the ordinarily attempted punt, or drop-kick, lies in the fact the ball is held securely until the full momentum of the drive has been communicated to the inflated pigskin.) Owing to the spheroid shape of the intercollegiate football it is hard to drive it forward straight and true unless 1t is kicked at just the correct point. With two men holding it on opposite sides there is little chance for the ball to twist as it is kicked and the Rutgers players have frequently driven the ball for 60 and 70 yards from this formation. The play, however, requires perfect co. operation by all four players involved and must be timed exactly since the defense given the kicker is naturally weakened owing to the number of players handling the ball..

ANNEX HERE THANKSGIVING:

The New Haven JOurnal-Courler says today that the proposed Ihanks- giving Day game between the Wash ing Glees and Annex teams of New Haven to decide the Elm City cham pionship may not be played. The report is that the Annex have receiV- ed a big offer to play the American Chain Go. team iu this city on the turkey holiday.
 AS the WincheEters have secured Yale field for 8 game with the Car lisle Indians on Thangsgiving, the An mex and Glees had no place but Savin Rock to stage their contest. The Annex fear they won't be able to draw well at the Rock and for that req son would refer to play in this city, where large crowd is assured.

HUTCHINSON AGAIN
 AT FULLBACk ON
 YALE FIRST TEAM

New Haven, Nov. 4-Yale enters the Colgate game not confident of vic- tory, though the general belief is that the Blue will come out on top, some persons predicting three touchdowns It was announced that Hutchinson, who played centre in the last three games, had beaten out big Jim" Bra den for full back and would start the game. Braden has not developed as fast as was expected, and with. the return of Vorys, at centre, Hutchin- son, will be found in his old place.
 Despite the fact that Vorys has been playing football at Yale for three years this will be the first time since he entered the. university that he will start a game. Injuries have kept him out of every game during his football career
 Galt has advanced fast enough this week to warrant his playing. As an- nounced last night, the lineup against Colgate will be- Left end, Gates; left tackle, Taft; left guard, Black; centre, Vorys; right guard, Gait; right tackle, Baldridge; right end, Comerford; quarter back, Smith; left half back, Neville; right half back, Legore; full back, Hutchinson.

MERIDEu BOY IS
 STAR OF REGATTA OF YALE OARSMEn

New Haven, Nov. 4-Ya1e's first boat, stroked by Alton R. Hyatt, of Meriden, won the annual fall regatta of the Yale crews on the New Haven harbor yesterday afternoon, winning the mile and quarter in the fair time of 7:33, and coming in by one-third of a length ahead of the boat stroked by Lawrence.
 The fastest time of the afternoon was hung up by the first sophomore crew, which went the, same distance in nine seconds less, beating their op- ponents, the second sophomore and first junior crews, by two and a half lengths of open water.
 The results of this regatta gave Coach Nickalls a good opportunity to get line on the quality of the ma terial at his disposal. Hyatt appears the best man for the position of stroke and narrowly missed getting the chance to stroke the first boat in the race with Harvard on the Thames.

Translate Baseball Terms Into French
 to Boost the Game

Boston, Nov. i4-Baseba1l has been translated into the French in order to remove one of the obstacles to further popularity of the game among French speaking people. The faculty of Assumption College at Worcester, Mass, has drawn up manual of play in that language. It presents baseball in terms scarcely recognizable to most of the followers of the na- tion's pastime.
 catcher a receiver" At shortstop. a player under the Assumptionist fac ulty's designation, would be a "bloquer." Other places in the line- up are indicated in the manual in this manner: First base, premier but''; second base, ''secondienne but; third base, "troisenne but''; right field "vol- tiguer droite''; center field, "volti- geur au centre; left field, "voltigeur a gauche.' The coach is termed ''agasseur.
 In announcing the result of it's ork, the faculty of Assumption Col 1ege stated that while the game was already popular among the students of the French speaking colleges in this country and Canada, 1t fell short of the interest and support of facul- ties of those institutions to which it was entitled. largely because of diff culties of the teachers in becoming familiar with the terms of the game. It was to bring the language of base ball within reach of strange ears that the manual was devised the announce ment said. Those who drew up the manual were assiseed by a mem Der of the faculty who had seen baseball played behind the battle lines in France, and so made observations of the phrases used by French soldiers to describe players and position in the game.

VALLEY A. C. PLAYS CHAIN TOMORROW

The Valley A. c. team of Newark, N. J., said to be the strongest aggre- gation in New Jersey, will play the American Chain team at Newfield park tomorrow.
 As a curtain raiser, the manage ment has arranged to stage a game between the Crashos and Mohicans two of the strongest semi-pro teams in the city. Much rivalry exists be- tween these two teams and as there has been a large amount of money placed on the outcome, the game is sure to prove a big attraction.
 The Chain team has been strength ened since the defeat last Sunday and some new faces will appear in the lineup, including Clyde Waters of

In addition to his many theatrical ventures, he has backed several sporting events of more than ordinary prominence including the heavyweight championship bout at Havana, Cuba, when' Willard wreste1 the title from Johnson. As result he does not enter big league baseball circles without preliminary training. Because of his close knowledge of the amusement trend of te American pub lich, Frazee sould prove a valuable addition to the roster of baseball mag mates.
