New Lineup Possible.
Hard scrimmages are to be held
tonight and tomorrow, and Thursday
and Friday are to be devoted to the
tapering off processes and to feather
edge whetting. There were strong in
dications in Monday nights workout
that an entirely new lineup with new
plays and new formations are con-

and men to be used point to this.
Nest of the regulars who have played
in all the previous games are in good
condition, but it is known that the
coach is dissatisfied with the showing
some of them have made.
The inquiries that have been re-
ceived about tickets for the game show
that an unusually large crowd is plan

ment is beginning to fear it will be
unable to accommodate all of the spec
tators. Those who want to be sure of
first class seats are urged to make
their reservations as early as possible.

INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS

BY CHARLES E. BRICKLEY.


One of the hardest, if not the
hardest position on a football team is
that of end, and nothing is more i'm
portant to a high school team than
that this position should be properly
filled. A good end must be able to
play all kinds of football and he must
combine the qualifications of all the
other men.
First of all, he must be a good Of
fensive lineman, because usually he
has to take care of the opposing tackle
all alone. This is a hard stunt to do
and few high school players are able
to do it. Again, he must be good
man down the field under punts. This
means that he must be able to run fast
and to tackle when he gets near the
man with the ball Most ends make
the mistake of not slowing up to tackle
a man; they either overrun the man,
or else they don't get down fast
enough under the punt
An end must be able to run with the
ball like a halfback, for there are
many formations used nowadays in
which the ends run with the ball. He
must also be a clever interferer and
be able to clear the way for the run
Tack Hardwick, the All-American
end, who played for Harvard in 1914.
was the best man I have ever seen m
this particular department of play
Whenever the play was directed at a
point three holes or more removed
from his position. Hardwick would go
down the field and was always sure to
take out one of the defensive backs.
An end must be able to receive for
ward passes. Moreover. he must be
able to forward pass himself, because
there are many formations in which
he can make make forward pass. On
the defense an end must be able to
break up the interference or to get the
runner. If the play goes inside OF him.
he must either crash into the interfer-
ence or dive at the man with the ball
If it comes straight at him, he must
break up the interference, or, if the
interference has been broken up by
the tackle, he must nail the runner

TO WAR ON SPITBALL
National League Magnates May Put
Ban on 'Wet Delivery"

New York, Nov. THE elimination
of the spitball-in fact, the elimination
of the use of any foreign substance as
an aid to the pitcher; the question of
raising the player limit: the COM
plants regarding short fences and
bleacher walls; John McGraw's fall
from grace; umpire batting; worlds
series changeS-all these and many
other questions will be well thrashed
out when the National league mag
mates get together December - for
their annual gab-fest in New York.
Governor Tener, president of the
National league, is one of those who
believe in the elimination of the spit
ball and its variations. A pitcher,
Governor Tener believes, should have
no need for outside agencies. and the
cleanliness of the game has something
to do with his opinion. He believes,
along with a great many others, that
the spitball is just a wee bit indecent
and repu1sive.
The change in the player limit has
found many champions and it is one
of the things that magnates and
critics alike expect will be doctored.
Clubs have suffered because they did
MT have an adequate nun Der of SUBJ
stitutes to carry on their games The
Philadelphia and Boston clubs are two
examples of this. The New York
Giants and the Phillies are expected to
lead a fight for the resembling of the
twenty-one player rule.

ALWAYS A WINNER
DR.. Kennedy Has Lost Only One
Washburn-K. U. Game.
He Has Gone Thru Eight of
the Classic Clashes.

The report that DR.. A. r. Kennedy
had his Washburn football team out
Sunday afternoon practicing for Satur-
days game with K. U. could not be
Verified Monday or today either among
the players or at the office of the
Ichabod mentor, but it is freely admit
ted that he would probably like to
work mis- men morning, noon and
night, and probably a little on the
Sabbath, so anxious is he to get them
into the best possible condition to
meet the invading Athenians from Mt.
Dread.
No game of the season has aroused
the old "Gridiron Fox" so much as
this weeks clash with his former love,
and if Captain Stewart and his men
do not put up the prettiest and gamest
battle of their careers next Saturday
afternoon it will not be the fault of
the pioneer coach of Kansas who is
attempting to put Washburn back on
the map where he left her in 1908,
when his blue and white warriors
handed the Jayhawks a to o trounc-
ing.
Record of Clashes.
Back in the old days, Kennedy was
at his best in the annual games be-
tween Washburn and X. u, and thru
a long stretch of years during which
he was affiliated with the two schools
he was on the losing end but
once. In 1903 his first year at Wash
burn his team triumphed. as has been
related above by the score of to 0.
The next year Kenrsdy went to K.
L. and under his guiding hand the
Jayhawkers did a neat job of turning
the tables squarely around and won
by the same score the Ichabods had
made the year before. Following this
K. u again won IS to IL in 1905 and
in 1906 the two teams played to a
tie. In 1907 when the Ichabods took
the big end of a 12 to score, Ken
nedy experienced his only defeat in all
his connection with the annual
clashes. In 1908 and 1909 his Jay
hawkers triumphed and since then he
has been out of the equation.
Equalize Matters Now.
But now that he is back, he realizes
that it is up to him to do all in his
power to strike more equitable bal
ance and to put Washburn in the win

sas, and the best chance his home state
admirers could ever expect to have of see
ing him in action would be in a Kansas
City ring. Therefore, many of them would
make a special trip to the metropolis of
hills to watch him box a kangaroo.
Rifle shooters of Kansas who are mem
bers of local clubs are planning to organize
state association and as a result of pre-
liminary plans made at the National shoot
at a, iaeks91nville' t,l 9,n' Fla, meeting will be

posed of prominent and active business

which all the clubs will participate will

X. q. Expects First Victory
Away From Home Saturday.
Many Students Coming to See
Big Game With Washburn.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 7.-Altho
Coaches Olcott and Clark are not CO.
ceding Washburn a chance to defe,-
the K. U. eleven in its annual clash
with the Ichabods at Topeka next Sat
urday, nevertheless, it is rumored that
they are little anxious over the game
because of the fact that their men
have never stood the test as they
should when playing away from home.
Every game that K. U. has won this
season has been at Lawrence and ev-
cry game they have played away from
home has gone to the enemy. There
fore, the Jayhawker coaches are a
little anxious and are desirous of
breaking the travelling jinx Saturday
so that their players will have more
confidence in themselves when they
go to Lincoln TO play Nebraska next
week.
Expect Hard Game.
I'VE are not expecting anything like
a landslide victory Saturday." the K.
U. coaches say, and they realize that
best efforts in Doctor Kennedy and
that he is liable to do just what the
Topeka papers have been predicting
spring a surprise that will upset the
dope.
Indications are that many of the
local students will accon pany the
team to Topeka as it will be their best
opportunity to see a game away from
nome during the season. II is report
ed that the coaches are planning to
send in some substitute players at the
beginning of the game, but they are
going to have every one of their first
string men on the sidelines in suits so
that they can be used in an emer-
gency.
Much Confidence in Team.
There is more confidence in local
fo otball circles this week than there
has been since the opening of the sea-
son, as a result of last Saturdays vic
tory over Oklahoma, and many predic-
tions are being made that the team
will make a clean sweep of the re-
mainder of its games if it continues to
improve as it has during the last ten
DAYS.

A MULTIPLE KICK
Description of New GridirOn
Play Used by Rutgers.
Two Men Hold the Ball for
the Kicker.

New York, Nov. EVERY football
season brings some new play or series
of plays to the fore and altho 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 multi
ford, coach of the Rutgers college
eleven. Strange to say it is not Sc
ries of kicks, as its appellation would
kick in which several players assist
in the holding of the ball while an
other supplies the propelling power.
1t is a development of the old try
for 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 a 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 direction
of the kick, at a point about five yards
back of the scrimmage line. Directly
behind them stands the quarterback,
while behind him is located the player
who is to make the kick.
Four Men in Play.
When the center passed the ball it
is received by the quarter who stoops
and places it in an upright position
upon the ground while the players, al
ready 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 ball into the
opponents territory for field goal or
punt.
The particular advantage of the
multiple kick" over the ordinarily at
tempted 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 in
tercollegiate football it is hard to drive
it forward straight and true unless
it 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 so and 10 yards from this forma-
ton. The play, however, requires per-
feet cooperation by all four players
involved and must be timed exactly
since the defense given the kicker is
naturally weakened owing to the num-
ber of players handling the ball.

SCORES OF WASHBURN-K. U.
GAMES FOR LAST IS YEARS

Football interest in Topeka this
week is centered on the Washburn-
K. U. game that will be played on
Washburn field Saturday after
noon. Altho the Jayhawkers are
big favorites, Washburn followers
predict a hard, close game and
many are expecting Kennedy to
spring a surprise that will prob
ably give his men a victory The
scores of the annual clashes be-
tween the two schools since 1900
are as follows:

TTLLMAN RAPS FISHES
CRITICISM OF DANIELS
Calls 1t "Sniping" as He Sub
mits AdmiraPs Letter
to Senate

WASHINGTON. May 3.--Characteriz-
ing actions of Rear Admiral Fiske in criti-
osng Secretary Of the Navy Daniels as
kind of sniping or guerrilla warfare,
Chairman Tillman, of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee, today submitted to tho
Senate a copy of Fiske's letter received
yesterday by Vice President Marshall.
ut is easy to show from official records
how unreasonable, and unjustifiable, too,
Admiral Fiske's utterances are" Tillman
said. Admiral Fiske will retire some
time soon, and, as matter of pity. for
bear to place evidence, brought out In the
House, on naval affairs in the Record.
THE Secretary of the Navy has nothing
to conceal and courts an investigation, II
one is demanded Neither he nor his
friends like this kind of sniping or guer-
rilla warfare. Therefore, l content myself
with asking that Fiske's letter to the Vice
President he published in the Record, so
that all may judge how little there really
is TO his utterances except malice and
wounded vanity"
Fiske, in the letter introduced, fatty
contradcted Secretary Daniels statement
that the Admiral had never brought to his
attention the report of 1914 that the navy
was unprepared.
Admiral Fiske merely Is endeavoring
to protect his reputation the same as any
other honest man would do" said Senator
Lodge when the letter was read.
No action was taken.
