New York. Jan. l5-The Brooklyn

OLD ADTICEO
FOOTBALL GOOD
Book Written by Stagg and
Williams After Col
lege Days.

Football is fast becoming the ma
tional fall sport Of the American
youth" wrote H. L. Williams and
A. A. Stagg in "A. book on football
published by them In 1888. The vol
ume has been resurrected by follow
ers of the sport, who point to the
timeliness of many passages set down
by the two Yale stars q quarter OF
century ago.
For seventeen years Stage. Of the
University of Chicago, and Williams,
Of the University of Minnesota, have
been training rival teams and have
contributed to the work OF revising
the whole character of the game
When. as teammates, they prepared
their book on football. the flying
wedge" was the favorite weapon of
the score makers, and it was this
style Of play that for years made life
on the gridiron unsafe and brought
protests which caused sharp changes
in the game.
The book is replete with such
phrases as center rusher." 'end
rusher" and snap back" To carry
out a successful flying wedge" the
team was instructed to form a "v''
on the field at the kickoff. Then the
man receiving the ball would wait
a moment to permit the other MEM
bers Of the team to gather about
him. Arms locked. the whole eleven
would swoop down the field with the
toughest chap of the lot holding the
point of the mass and the oval-bear-
er hurried in the caOtar
The following excerpts from the
book include bits OF advice, that are
as timely today as when they were
written:
TRY to get the opposition of guars
and score before two minutes of the
game have been staged.
IF you're hurt on a tackle, don't
show it. Get up briskly or they'K
throw you twice as hard next time.
THE time for conversation with
opponents is after the game.
Fast play is the most effective.
Make one play follow the other as
rapidly as possible.
When getting ready to tackle
watch the runners hips-they move
the least.
Go after the runner-don't wait
for him.
KNOCK the runner towards his own
goal.
If the opposition seems SO power
ful you haven't a chance, keep play
ing harder. The rivals may lose a
star by injury or ruling at any mo-
ment. and your chance may come.
Keep your eyes on the balI-aI-
ways"

COLLEGE GRID
SPORT HARDEST
Brickley Claims Profession,
ais Do Not Play as Hard
and Well.

New York, Jan. 15.-Charley
Brickley. who played three games
this year with the professional
Massillon. Ohio. eleven. declares that
any good college team can beat q
good pro" combination. The col
legians have a definite scheme of
attack and work in concert, while
the professionals very often have
no signals until they come on the
field. Brickley says:
You cannot compare the two
styles of play. There is quite a
and for a college. The game Is
do not have the sharp team play
of a well-trilled college eleven.
The men do not practice to speak
of. Some OF them do not see each
other until the day of the game.
Then they try to master a set
Of signals and work out q plan. II
they can get together before the
time for starting the game to de-
velop Interference and the other
requisites that combine to make a
good team they show what an ag-
gregation of stars can do.
'As the professionals played this
past season a team like the Har-
ward eleven under Haughton could
defeat the best of them. Give the
canton, Massillon and Akron teams
the same length of time to practice
that college squads have and it
might be a different story. The
men play good, hard football. but
not the bruising kind that weeks
and months, under good coaching.

KAISER BESTED
IN POOL GAME
Carl Guy Wins from Harry
M. in Great Match for
Local Title.

The kaiser" was beaten in this
first attack.
This explains the result of the
match game in the District cham
pionship pocket billiard tourna-
ment held at the Grand Central
Parlors last night, in which Harry
NJ. Kaiser and Carl Guy were the
from this southpaw billiard artist,
100 to- so.
Reverting to baseball, q phrase
that is familiar to the Nationals
comedian, Nick Altrock, cock
eyed" Is the term to be used in
reference to Kaiser. Outside of be-
ing above the ordinary in welding
the cue, Kaiser still appears slight
ly "cock-eyed" in his maneuvers of
the willow stick and outside OF be-
ing a left-hander he holds the point
ed ivory in the opposite direction
of every other player.
1t was easy meat for Guy, and he
made 1t the same as he came from
behind in fifth frame and the ver-
dict was never in doubt. Tonight
Frank Swan meets Jack Pryor,
while an added attraction has been
put on by Prof. Whestley. The
professor will play game of
Chinese pool with NJ A. Switzler,
which will start at 1880 D. m, the
tournament game starting imme-
diately after this contest. The
score by innings and totals of last

FRAME PLANS
TO MEET TAX
The League Moguls Will
Thrash Out Question
Here Monday.

New York, Jan. 15.-One OF the
most important baseball meetings
of the season will be held in wash
ington next Monday, when a Joint
committee representing the Ma
tional and American Leagues waits
upon the government to negotiate
toward a fair and convenient means
OF collecting the war tax on base
ball admissions and passes to ma
jor league games.
John B. Foster, secretary of the
Giants, Is chairman Of the commit
tee which will act for the Tener
circuit. Associated with him are
Secretary John A. Heydler, of the
National League, and Walter Hap
good, business manager of the Bos-
ton Nationals. August Herrmann,
chairman of the National Commits
sion. will visit the capital city in
that official dignity. but will also
act as spokesman for Ban Johnson
and the American League.
Mr.. Foster had hoped to call a
meeting of his committee in this
city some time toward the end Of
the present week so that various
plans submitted might be discussed
at length and a definite line of ac-
tion fraRed. He has found this
impractical, as Mr.. HapgooS IS in
the South at present completing de-
tails for the joint tour of the YAM
KEGS and Braves from Macon, Ca,
to Petersburg, Va, next spring at
the conclusion of these clubs train
ing trips. The meeting in Washing
ton was to have been held the lat
ter part Of this week, but Mr.
Hermann found it impossible to
leave Cincinnati before Sunday
next
Messrs. Heydler, Dreyfuss and
Hermann were to have proceeded
directly from Washington to the Do

League, for the purpose OF framing
schedules for the National and Amer
lean Leagues. johnson, however. in

ments in Washington which will have
a direct bearing on the schedules.
We hope to find out from the gov
ernment not only a feasible plan for
tax collections, but also Just what
we may expect in the line of trans
portation accommodations. Natural
ly 1t is our object to eliminate or
at least to minimize conflicts in those
rlIfaG =
leagues. In past years we have often
had to depend upon fast trains for
this purpose. and many OF the fast
trains have been taken OF the roads.
The joint schedule committee is cor
fronted with three or four days hard
work. and the time is getting dam
gerously close to tho annual schedule
meetings Of the two leagues. II viii

to get the schedules to the club own

business managers may at once begin
