MORE FOOTBALL 10
 BE PLAYED, SAYS A VAL E AUTHORITY
Walter Camp Says Activity Indicates a Banner Year for GridirOn-Offi-
 cials Meet

New York, September 30.-At a meet ing of football officials. coaches and players, held here tonight for the pur- pose of interpreting the rules govern ing the game, Walter Camp of Yale, who presided, said that from the nc- tivity displayed by the men at the various training camps throughout the country, more football would be played here than ever before. All the officials present said that they would willing ly give their services at any games which may be arranged at or between army or navy training camps or sta tions.
 By unanimous vote 1t was decided to cut out the approved ruling regard ing the ball still being in play after it had crossed the side line extended. This was the first time that any ap- proved rule was eliminated by vote or otherwise at any meeting other than a regular one of the rules com mittee.
 On the motion of Coach Sanford of Rutgers, it was decided to recommend to the rules committee the necessity of eliminating the possibility of play CT being cut down from behind. The Rutgers coach also made an appeal that the rules committee, at it's next
 session, would adopt the multiple kick" which he claimed would be much
 better than the "teeing up" of the ball for place kick as now allowed by the rules.

Dixie's gridiron season was openet Saturday with all of the leading con. tenders scoring decisive victories, and in no case was a surprise package opened to start the campaign. Inclem- ent weather prevented several of the southerners from getting into action.
 Georgia Tech accomplished a full days work in scoring a double victory, defeating Furman college and Wake forest The Yellow Jackets rolled up a total of 5s points in the two games. Coach Heisman used all of his regu- lars, but divided them in the lineup of the two games.
 The work of Joe Guyon, the big In- |lian, featured the play of the Jackets and gave indication that the Georgia team will have a star to depend upon in the important struggles. Vanderbilt also scored decisive vic- tory, but according to reports. the Com modores failed to make a showing expected. They defeated Battle Ground academy, 5 to O. Coach McGugin pre- scented almost an entirely new line .up and although the score indicated the

Two Vital Points Are Often Overlooked Tn Preparation of Teams For Important TiHs

game prohibiting taking the bali from an opponent when it is in his possession al any time during play, yet nearly every embryo player thinks there is just such a clause. This but proves my conten- tion that few players study the ruies Studying the rules is not very exciting
 job, but it is vital factor in team success ito know the game. And no
 player does know the game until ne
 studies it's laws.
 ANOTHER VITAL POINT
 This brings us to the other vital point
 which Is neglected so much In coaching making a player think beyond his
 coaching and assume some of the re-
 sponsibility when filling his position. The overlooking of this point is harmIui
 one in that the players are thus too limited both in their work in games ana
 in the benefit football does give to those
 who participate in it in their future life. One of the finest lessons of the game is lost in this way.
 This lack of self thinking. this de : tendency upon the coach to do all ol if. stiles a mans mental development and makes him but pawn III the
 game and in life after college. The greatest lesson to be learned rom football is the ability Of each man to size llp the many various situations which come up in the game and not depend upon someone higher up to do /, his thinking. Give me a team which thinks for itself and will have will 1 ner nine times out of l0 Last fall when my eleven played l Washington and Lee, much heavier 1 team, it was this ability to think
 which had much to do with our mar 1 row margin victory Our opponents used a new style of end attack near ] the close of the first period which met with tremendous success. Our ends were boxed on every play. I recog- nized the way to meet 1t and had to | content myself with waiting until the half was over before instructing the l ends--a nerve wrecking Job.
 USED PLAY FOR LOSS
 | Washington and Lee used the play l once for a big loss at point so far 1 down in the other corner of the field l that I could not see what had made it 1 fail Shortly I had the squad in the dressing room and I immediately be" | gan explaining to the ends how tc
 break up the play in question. Wick
 erham, really fine end, now in the army, spoke up and said, Coach, 1 tried that and 1t worked" It was 1 Wickerham who had broken up the | play I had not seen. Wickersham was 1 thinking just as much as his coach He was of the type that makes wln-
 ming teams.
 This failure of players to think 1T the right way or to think at all is the cause of so many stars failing il coaching when they take it up. Splen | did as the eleven has been that they contributed so much to, there is abun. dant. proof each fall, when they begir their first year as a coach. that they have never thought for themselves The former player, coaching for tht first time, realizes that football Is : far different game from the one ht played apparently so well. If he ha.
 the stuff in him he begins thinking | all out for himself and In the end ht

Two vital points are often overlooked in the preparation of football squad for it's big games which not only may prove responsible for the winning or losing Of these games, but which also cause the player to lose much of the after benefit to be derived from his participation in football while in school or college.
 The two vital points are negligence in studying the rules of the sport, with it's accompanying code, and the failure Of the coach to impress upon the players the fact that he can only teach them so much football, that their status as play
 CTS Is only to be above the average when they think beyond the coaching and thus reach a state of proficiency in play as we'll as confidence in them
 selves and their abilities which, after all, are the main factors in the best work
 of any player
 When a player does not know the rules he is no more likeiy to help win games than the lawyer trying a case who has avoided studying the law governing
 the case. Last year the Yale Princeton game should have been a much closer struggle than 1t was. Both teams were
 about equal in playing ability, but the Princeton eleven, if 1t did know the
 rules, gave away any chance it had for
 the game when it failed to catch one of Yaies kick-offs. Both teams have equal | rights to the ball on a kickoff and all football men at that game were amazed to behold Princeton eleven in it's last game watch the Yale eleven kickoff and l then come down the field and recover
 the ball near the Princeton goal line. RULE NEGLECTED N | For some unknown reason this rule | which makes a team onside on a kick l off or kick from a fair catch is oftenest neglected by coaches and players. Even | officials are not always clear on this point. Witness several years ago when l West Virginia was playing Geneva
 Twice the West Virginia team kicked 1 off to Geneva. recovering the ball back l of the Geneva goal line for touch | down. In each case the referee called il
 a touchback and touchback it re-
 mained. Needless to say such an official was never again used for one so ig- ! norant of one of the primary rules of l the game is not going to be used by 1 teams which want a square deal all the way through.
 A similar ignorance Of the rules or
 the part of Indiana against Purdue ir l 1912 gave the latter sided victory
 Purdue made several fair catches during i the play and once punted from fail l catch formation to the side of the field | The Indiana team did not know thu | Purdue players were onside on this | play and were much upset because tht
 officials called it touchdown when z I Purdue player caught the punt and rar l hn 1ipo fnr tn1Jn
 l Another point In football that the vas
 majority of players have a wrong i'm precision of-goodness knows where the. get it--is that, the ball cannot be "stolen' l from the man who carries it. I knov every coach, like myself, has to pound
 this point into the heads of his players time and again. There is no law of tn

Limited Seating Capacity
 WiU Alone Prevent Record 0f Attendance From Failing

New York, September 30.-If the seat ing capacity of the baseball parks in which play will be staged were not linn ited there Is no question that new at
 the coming world series between the Chicago Americans and the New York Nationals. So keen is the interest and
 enthusiasm created by this intersec-
 tionaf struggle for diamond supremacy
 between the teams of the two largest cities of the nation that under certain
 conditions it is likely even the figures of 1912 may be surpassed.
 In the coming games the New York
 Polo Grounds will seat 37,0O0 spectators,
 in round numbers while the Chicago
 White Sox park, with due allowance for
 any temporary stands that President
 Comiskey may elect to erect, will not
 exceed this paid seating capacity. As 2
 basis of comparison, therefore, the max mum capacity of either park may be placed at approximately 37,O0o. Many close followers of the playing ability of the two teams involved have reached the conclusloH tHdl, gwen any euinS iiNe "'' even break in the luck of the game, the series will go at least six games before decision is reached.
 BIG CROWD EXPECTED
 If this proves to be the case, the total attendance in round numbers would az gregate 222,01O, as against the 2S1,9O1 ac- tual paid admissions in the New York Boston series of 1912, which, including one tie contest, went eight games. Ir order to surpass these figures at least seven games between the New York and Chicag go clubs will be necessary to bring the aggregate attendance up to 259, 900 The awarding of the various playine dates as the result of the toss or COT will have little, if any, effect upon the

By winning the championship Manager McGraw brought his total of such victories to six, a mark hereto fore unparalleled in the history of the national Sport. With the pennant safe, McGraw took his regulars from the lineup and St. Louis succeeded in taking the other two games of the series. Saturday Cincinnati fell before the Giant substitutes, but today the latter dropped two to Cincinnati.

attendance, as it is predicted that the capacity of both parks will be completely sold out regardless of the days of the week on which games will be played at Chicago or New York.
 In the IS series which have been played since 1903 the official paid at tendance amounted to $1,7o1,77 and the receipts s2,s74,224, giving an average charge of admission of $1.67 per spectator for the each of the "A games played. If this same rate were applied to a seven games series between Chicago and New York the total gate receipts would amount to $432, ,530, of which the national commission would take $43,253. the play CTS $14S, ,296 and the club owners about S241, 600.
 POST SERIES IS BEST
 These figures and divisions of gate receipts would not exceed those of the 1912 series however, on the basis of an average charge of s1.67 per spectator, but in recent years the average price of admission has been considerably in creased, as it was about $235 per head in the 1916 series. Allowing for certain proposed reductions. the rate should not fall much below $2, which would give approximately $51S,0O0 for seven games series between the Chicago and New York clubs. This would exceed by more than S28,000 the record receipts now credited to the 1912 series
