IN From THE NEW YORK HERALD: Miss
G. Hearn. Yankee forward (Philadel-
phia hockey team which went to Eng
lanc), stirred British curiosity by wear
ing a regulation football nose guard,
'such as is used by scrimmagers al f1ar-
ward and Yale for their fierce conflicts
remarked one sporting writer who. like
many English. think Hayward and Yale
arc orr only real universities"
= The footpaii nose guard Is as extinct
I with Harvard, Yale and all other college
"scrimmagers" as the canvas jacket
Fashion now DEGREES that the only nose
guards worn be or court plaster or such
as are provided by the mother earth
when nose happens to be rubbed in
the mud. Some players even go 50 far
as to have no skin on the nose on enter
ing or leaving football game.
Pop Warner of Pittsburg is no great
enthusiast over the forward pass, and he
cannot be charged with selfshness in the
matter. His success as a coach pre-
cludes any such motive. He contends
that Nfhe onside kick would be better
that it would do all the forward does
Z In scattering defence and permitting of
: ten yard gains in four tries and would
make a better and less restricted game
Warner not only would go back to the
rule of few years ago making a punted
ball which hit the ground before being
touched anybody's ball. but would allow
members OF the kicking side to catch the
ball on the fly IL they could get down
and do it.
a schoolboy athlete who has made his
mark and who is going to Yale next year

Next Saturday the Polo Grounds will

The Army tried some Notre Dame
stuff against the Navy. The ruse of
