INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS
BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.
Every Job a Hard One.

Before our 200 game with Yale in
1912, Coach Haughton told me that, as
defensive halfback, it was up to me to
follow Bomeisler down the field when
Yale punted and to take him out so
that he could not tackle the man
catching the ball. On looking at
Bomeisler, it seemed like an easy
proposition, for he appeared to be very
heavy and slow. Much to my sur
prise, therefore, the first three times
down the field 1 could not get within
ten yards of him, so fast did he run.
and on each occasion his fierce
tackling of our quarterback almost
made the latter drop the ball
Bud" Smith, the old Harvard end,
combined all of Bomeisler's qualifi-
cations, but was a lighter man. He
was, however. desperate tackler and
wonder at following the ball
One of the best forward passing
combinations that football has ever
produced was Mahan to Hardwick.
Both were versatile and clever men at
handling the ball. 1t was this Mahan
to Hardwick combination which
| caused Yale so much worry in the
$50 game. 1t is a difficult matter to
| take out a good end. By taking a
man out, I mean knocking him down
so that he is unable to break thru the
! interference and stop the runner on
| an end run. When two halfbacks to-

must practice hard and conscientious

able to. do a good job. In fact, some
times it is easier for one man to take
out an end than for two to try it. II

The K. U. team, accompanied by
the University band and several hun
dred rooters, will arrive here about
1O:40. and it is expected that a down
town parade will be held during the
morning hours, participated in by
TO tiers of both schools.
Coach Kennedy, when asked for
s'before the battle statement, said:
''Well, my boys have got their fight
in blood up. They are in better con-
dition than they have been at any
time this season. l wouldn't like TO
predict what the outcome will be, but
1t is up to the Jayhawkers to beat us,
you know, and 1 will be greatly dis
appointed if we do not make this a
harder task than they imagine it will
be-"
Stewart Confident.
Captain Stewart expressed conf
dence in his team and said he con-
sidered the chances of winning good.
He believes the odds are less III favor
of K. L. than they were last season
and feels absolutely confident that his
men will make a much better showing
than they did in 1915.
Contrary to the expectations of the
men and the program, there was no
scrimmage Thursday night and the
entire practice period was taken up
with signal drill and light handling of

Bailey. who has not been able to play
since the Friends game was very

he will be sent in at one of the ends

definite statement and the whole line

THE FORWARD PASS IS THE
SQUEEZE PLAY OF GRIDIRON

Like the squeeze play in base
oal. the forward pass is a pretty
play-if it works.
Just as the squeeze play
makes bail club look awfuily
funny if it doesn't go thru and
the man under way from third
runs into the ball at the
plate, so the forward pass appears
foolish when an alert secondary
defense man snags the ball and
dashes down the field for plenty
of territory.
However. so long as the chances
of the plays going wrona are
minimized by having good men on
the right end of both the squeeze
play and the forward pass, they
will continue to be, strictly
speaking, "athletically vogue

DILLON SLIPPING
Star of Famous "Giant Killer
Dimming Fast Now.
Levinsky Has Knocked Him
Out of the Limelight.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Nov. 1O.-Jack Dillon
seems to have skidded far from the
heights he reached last summer when
he whaled Frank Moran. The Giant
Killer" hasn't slain any Goliaths since
then and he has suffered brace of
beatings at the hands of his arch
enemy-Battling Levinsky.
The U. S. A. echoed with plaudits
for Dillon after he beat up the bulky
Pittsburger. Jack was the national
he-e-ero. All the boxing promoters
wanted him to take three-fourths of
their fortunes in exchange for a little
exhibition in their arenas. Vaudeville
folks ceased pursuing Eva Tanguay
and FRITZ Scheff and Ethel Barry
more. They wanted a bigger drawing
card; Jack Dillon, for instance.
And then Jack made the greatest
blunder of his career He toook on Bat
Ting Levinsky in Baltimore and didn t
do any extensive training for the af-
fair. Hadn't he beaten Levinsky in
most of their other stunts? Of course!
So why waste time in training?
So the unframed Dillon mingled
with the shifty Hebrew-and Bat gave
Jack the worst beating the Giant
Killer ever took. "Fluke,'' said Jack

lost prestige. If he doeSn't-farewell

coal and iron, but numerous cascades
have been suddenly forced to produce

War factories have been constructed
under expert advice so as to facilitate
their conversion into hives of peace
full industry, which will render Italy
independent of Germany and other
countries for chemicals, dyes and other
products after the war.
