Warner
Real Wizard
OF Gridiron

PITTSBURGH, Penn, Jan. 12-That
there must be great deal of merit in
football coaching under the present
rules is shown in the wonderful work
Of Glenn S. Warner at both Carlisle
and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh finished
its third straight year without a de-
feat, and during those three years Pop
Warner has been in command of the
team. The Zig fellow succeeded Joe
Dug as football coacn at Pitt after the
season of 1914. Duff had made quite
record in his final season, the team
played. On the list of vanquished
were Cornell, Penn State, Navy, Car
Isle and Georgetown, while the only
setback was at the hands of Washing
ton and Jefferson in the final game Of
the season.
Scored Ten Victories
This defeat was the last registered
against a Pitt eleven. In 1915 Pitt
played and won eight games, and in
1916 duplicated this performance. This
year the Panthers have scored ten vic
tories.
Many-in fact, most-of these long
winning records can be answered in
the calibre of the opposition. This is
not true of Pittsburgh. Games are ar
ranged each year with teams of con-
siderable prominence in the football
world. During the last three years
Pitt registered victories over Pennsyl-
vania, Syracuse, West Virginia, W. G.
j. and Penn State.
The Pittsburgh team this season
proved what great squad Warner had
last year The players lost included
Soppitt. guard; Thornhill, a tackle.
and Heron, an end. De Hart and
hastings, two of the best backs of the
year, quit college. Yet Warner was
able to use in the Pennsylvania game
no less than ten men who have been
grounded in Warner football since he
took charge Of the squad.
Carlson, Miller, Harrington and Suth-
erland date back to 1914, or to the
Duff regime at Pittsburgh. The six
others who reported when Warner be-
gan his work in 1915 were McLaren.
Sizes, Seidel, Gouglcr. Stahl and Nc
Clelland All these players took part
in the Penn game. Most of them are
the regulars who have carried Pitt
through another unbeaten year. War
ner had material for two great teams
at Pitt last season, Judging from the
losses and the 1917 returns.
Warner Has Much Patience
Glenn Warner had much patience in
working with the individual and get
ting results where others might fail
Producing finished players at Carlisle
from raw, red material gave him that
virtue which now serves him so we'll.
He is an advocate of clean football,
and the Pitt teams plays it that way.
His strong running formation tends
to spread the defence, as he plays his
quarterback outside the tackle. This
calls for direct passes from the centre
and also gives him an extra man in
the interference. which combined with
three linemen and two other backs in
leading the end runs, makes his at
tack pytrpma1v Stropu

Skating and Hockey
By Fred Hawthorne

It has been said that Thomas Healy
was first led to take an active interest
in skating after watching his small
sons perform at the St. Nicholas Rink.
Two of these prodigies come just
above the shoulders of a grasshopper,
yet they can "cut up" on the ice in a
scandalous manner Since he has APP
preached years Of discretion himself,
Mr.. Healy decided that if he could
not skate, at least he would have a
skating rink, so q couple of weeks ago
he opened the Crystal Carnival Ice
Rink, at Broadway and Ninety-ffth
Street
Tomorrow night, under the auspices
of the Eastern Skating Association.
there will be two races at the Crystal
Carnival Rink, half mile handicap
and half mile novice, with all the
prominent stars around New York
competing. The rink measures twenty
one laps to the mile, and the turns
are conducive to high speed.
1t is also planned to hold a series
of schoolboy races every Saturday
morning. On the evenings of Febru-
airy 5, and there will be figure
skating tournament for amateurs
men, women and novices. The entries
include Miss Theresa Weld, national
woman champion, and Mrs. S. r. Beres-
ford, the local title holder.
According to NJ. II. Greenebaum. gen
eral manager of the 1S1st Street Ice
falace, there are three things a person
must master to become proficient fig
ure skater, and these are balance, poise
and confidence. "Confdence is the first
thing that must be acquired" said the
student of the art. "If Il person begins
to skate lacking confidence, it is going
TO take him just that much longer be-
tore he begins to show results 1t is
the most essential thing in skating"
Righto, old top, righto!
You have all heard Of the poetry of
motion, of course, but how often do
you see it? Yet it can be done almost
any day at the st. Nicholas Rink. when

Yale Rooters
Retain Faith
In Their Five
Great Improvement Shown
Despite Rather Disappoint-
ing Christmas Trip

NEW HAVEN, Jan. IL. Although
Yale's basketball team made decid-
edly poor start in its Christmas
matches, its undergraduate supporters
believe that it has the material for
finishing in the first division in the
intercollegiate race.
The Yale five has shown consistent
improvement since the squad reported
for practice. month ago, despite the
fact that not a regular Of last seasons
team Is on the present quintet and
that the team won only two out Of nine
games played on the Christmas trip,
it Is regarded as possessing the STAN
ina for q strong intercollegiate finish.
It's defensive game needs to be
strengthened Immediately, its coaches
feel. They have developed the team
passing game cleverly, and the scoring
power Of the FIVE is nearly up to Yale's
standard of play at this stage of the
season. Opposing teams have been
able, however, to score persistently. and
two sets Of guards have been tried
without these positions being definitely
settled. yesterday, Bushby. McCarten
and Damn are the most promising.
Bushby is probably a fixture, but both
positions are unsettled.
Captain Charley Stradella is easily
the star Of the five, both in floor COW
ering. passing and scoring. He ranks
on almost even terms with the for
wards in points tailed and baskets
thrown. Van Slyck and Shedd will
probably remain as forwards. They
have consistently started the games
this season in these two positions. Van
Slyck will be used to toss the baskets
from foul. He is one of the steadiest
foul tossers who has essayed the role
at Yale in several seasons and has
shown steady improvement since the
season began.
Although Yale lost seven games on
Its Christmas trip, it scored at least
fifteen points in every game, scoring
twenty-six points or more five times
when defeated.
