INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS
HELPS Prom the LIne.
BY CHARLES E. RRICKLEY.

The tackle and. in fact all. live
men should remember TO help up their
own backfield men after they have
been tackled. The backs get lot or
hammering when they are tackled L
know nothing seemed nicer to me than
to be helped to my feet by big
strong lineman after hard tack
had stopped me. This helping up OF
the backs by the linemen also tends
TO create a bond of Friendship and
good feeling among the fellows on the
team. 1t tends to work towards max
ing eleven men into one unit rather
than having eleven players each Sim
ply thinking of his own play
When his own team punts. the
tackle should remember to hold his
position until the ball leaves the kick
er's foot. for it is more important that
the kick should not be blocked than
Il is that the tackle should get down
the field OF course. a good tackle
will block his opponents off and get
down under the punt as well, but the
first requisite is to get the punt off
On a forward pass the tackle must
also hold his position until the ball
leaves the passer's hand
Good offensive tackles are very rare
in schoolboy football ranks and il
seems To me that more attention
should be paid to the tackles by
schoolboy coaches, as they are the
bulwarks OF any team. Therefore on
the offense the schoolboy tackle
should remember to get up to the line
OF scrimmage, to get in a strong. low
position, to charge low, always with
the mead up, to be fiercely aggressive
and to think every second he is in the
game. Let the tackle find out if his
opponent has any glaring weaknesses
and then let him play to it. Almost
every football player has some kind
OF weakness if it can only be d;S-
covered. An offensive tackle should
always remember never To use his
hands or to hold an opponent

EYES ON WEATHER
Dry Field Will Be Advantage to
the Aggies Saturday.
DIR. Kennedy Continues to Bank
on the Jayhawk Spirit.

Dopesters in both the Jawhawker
and Wildcat camps are banking on
the weather to play an important part
in the K. U.-Aggie clash at Lawrence
Saturday afternoon, and it is conceded
that the Clevenger men will be at an
advantage on a dry field while a wet,
heavy soil would be a great handicap
to them.
From Lawrence comes the an
nouncement that Captain Lindsey is
primed for the battle and that he is
expected to be the individual star OF
the Olcott machine. Reports from
Manhattan state that the Wildcats
are holding their final practices in Sc
cret and are preparing some surprises
for their old rivals.
Kennedy Has Hunch.
Doctor Kennedy, Washburn mentor
and former Jawhawker coach. retains
his loyalty for the K. U. team and in
addition to admitting that he is al

team happens to be the opposition
he insists that the old Jaw Hawk war
spirit will hear the call to duty and
''save the bacon"
Manager w. o. Hamilton of K. U.
has announced that the game will
start promptly at 2:45 O'Clock. In adj

READY FOR TRIP
IchabOds in Fine Fettle for
Game at Ottawa Tomorrow.
WaShburniteS Interested in
Baker-Quaker Battle.

Having come thru their last hard
workout before the ottawa game with
out a mishap and with every member
of the squad apparently in fine fettle,
the Ichabods were taking things easy
today and eagerly awaiting time to
pack their suit cases and board the
plug" for the trip to the Baptist bat
tlefield. Nineteen men and the coach
and Student Manager Champeny Will
make the trip. They will leave To-
peka early tomorrow morning and
will be away until Saturday night.
Altho there was no scrimmage We'd
nesday night the workout was suffi-
eient to stimulate the sweat glands to
flowing action and to whet up appe-
tites. Four squads, including the
freshmen, were on the field and all
INDUCED in long signal drills and in
passing plays.
Sargent was in charge of the first
varsity squad at quarterback and Jay
McCosh ran the second string. Doctor
Kennedy stated today he was not sure,
but that the lineup tomorrow would
very likely be similar to the one used
in the Baker game.
Among the men who will make the
trip to Ottawa are Captain Stewart,
Colvin, Palmer, Cox, Benton, Whit
comb Logan, Shaw Wilson Trull
Calihan. Heller. McCosh, Champeny,
Hope, Perry Sargent, Drake and Da-
Wis. All of the men appear confident
of victory and will be disappointed if
they do not win by a decisive score.
Other Games.
AItho Washburn followers are inter-
ested in the outcome of the game with
the Hard Shells" many are waiting
for he oil .f
morrow with much eagerness.
The center of attraction is the
-Baker-Friends meeting at Baldwin.
Many are predicting that Baker will
play surprising game against the
Quakers and there are quite a few
who believe they have a good chance
to win. Even the Quakers themselves
admit that such a thing is within the
range of the possible, and Coach Ben
bury Is quoted as saying he is far
from comfortably confident
The result of the Washburn- Baker
game can not be accepted as a real in
dication of the strength of the Metho-
dists." Banbury says, "because Baker
outplayed Washburn thruout the en-
tire game and should have won"
Quakers Work Hard.
The Quakers. it is understood. had
scouts in Topeka last Saturday to get
a line upon Baker and ever since thev
returned to Wichita Banbury's men
have been working with renewed eff
forts
There are few Washburn supporters
who will agree with Doctor Ranburv
that Baker outplayed the Ichabods
last Saturday, but all blue and white
supporters are pulling the Methodist
pulleybone for all it is worth and are
anxious to see Schlademan's men tri-
-umph because if they do it will mean
that Quaker championship hopes and
claims are wiped out forever
The Emporia Normals are exnectine
