MODERN FOOTBALL HAS EDGE
Players of Today Are Far More Yer
satile Than Those of Several
Seasons Back.

Modern football with it's open run
ming and passing has got the old bone
crushing game backed off the boards,
according to Big Bill Edwards. He
says:
speed and accuracy Is the keynote
Of the modern game. Players of to-
day are far more versatile than those
of my time The best teams now
have complex plays. An eleven with
a Well-rOunded offense will probably
have 30 plays. My championship
n.inceton team had 20 plays. Players
tocay have much more to do with the
addition Of open play and forward
passing. The stars are of the smaller
type, but speedier and more versatile.
IN my day we seldom saw the ball ex-
,ept when it was kicked. We only
had to guard our position, but that
was some undertaking when giants
were brought against us. The line
men now tip under 200 pounds be-
cause of the altered nature of the
game. I'm sure the guards now could
not stand up against the old-time
rushes. l weighed 265 pounds. 1t was
a case of the fittest in those days We
didn't know what rowing centers were
then. The tremendous crowds and
widespread interest in the game now
is sufficient proof that football has
changed for the best

AMERICAN SHOOTERS
PROVE SUPERIORITY
Records Made in Olympic Games
Over Other Nations.
Rifiemen From This Country Won
Every Event but One and in That
They Tied for First Honors-
Won Two Second Places.

United States riflemen in the
Olympic games in Belgium scored 43
points. The rifle shots representing
IA other nations scored only AZ points.
This proves conclusively the superior
ity Of American marksmen.
American rifiemen won every event
but one, and in that one they tied for
first place. Not only that, but they
won two second places and three third
places and in one event they won first,
second and third-and this against the
pick Of the rif1emen Of the world.
The trapshoOters representing Uncle
Sam showed representatives of Eu-
rope In the Olympic games how scat
terguns should be used, when they
won the first five places in the trap
shooting championship, and every man
on the American team was higher
than the highest shooter on any other
team in the team competition.
Then the rife shooters did the rest.
Commander Osburn won the indi-
vidual championship at 800 meters
and Lieutenant SpOOner won the
championship at 600 meters. Sergeant
Fisher of the Marines won the indi
vidual championship with all kinds Of
firearms The free-for- all style of
shooting, and the team matches at
800 and 600 meters were all won by
the United States teams. The small
bore championship was also won by
the United States, and N A. Neus-
slein, civilian Of Washington, won
the small-bore individual champion
ship.

OLDEST OF BOXING TEACHERS
De Witt Van Court of Los Angeles
Has Turned Sixtieth Milestone
Still on the Job.

From Los Angeles comes word that
De Witt Van Court has turned the
sixtieth milestone. The man that has
taught the manly art of self-defense
longer than probably any other in
Structor living is still on the job at
the L. A. A c., after having been in
the teaching department of the art for
more than thirty-five years. Professor
Van Court taught at the Oakland
Acme club, the Reliance club, the San
Francisco Olympic club and the Los
Angeles Athletic club, having been at
the latter institution since 1906. In
those four clubs he taught and
coached more than ia amateur
champs, more than 20 amateur cham
pions of America, and three worlds
champions.

That the Harvard captain and
coaches realized the really remark
able spirit and play of the Center
eleven was demonstrated by a scene
which took place Immediately after
the game, when Captain HOrween of
the winning eleven went UP to Capt.
Alvin McMillin and cOngratulating
him upon his team and wonderful in
dividual playing, offered the ball used
in the game as a trophy.
McMillin, dust covered and well
nigh exhausted by his efforts person
ally to wrest victory from the Grim
son, burst into tears and refused the
ball, with the remark that "to the vic
tor belongs the spoils"
The Harvard leader endeavored to
persuade McMillin to accept the ball
with the statement: "YOu deserve it.
You are the greatest back-field player
I ever saw"

in the field of American athletes. He
has been returned a victor in so many
Of his contests on this side of the wa
ter for the last five years that it was
almost a foregone conclusion that he
would win every race he went into, no
matter what the distance or who his
competitors.
Joie has had things pretty much his
own way in the mile game in America.
He has won about every indoor and
outdoor classic over the distance from
one end of the country to the other.
He has been thought to have no equal,
and his many victories over the coun-
try's best proved that such expecta-
tons were not unfOunded.

Joie Ray, the dapper little mile run

A. A. Z. national indoor and outdoor

athletic game.
According to report from abroad.
where Ray has been running, the won

conclusion that he has reached the end

NO RIBS TO SPARE

All other unplayable lies on a
golf course appear as nothing
when contraSted with new
story emanating from the Den
yer Country club. A member
Of a foursome playing the sixth
hole made a shot from the fair
way in behind a bunker, but
pulled his ball in the general di-
rection of the seventh tee. The
sphere bounded, struck a caddy
on the head, then carOmed over
l.. B. Bromfield. who was on the
tee ready to drive, and landed
in the shirt pocket of r. P.
Barry, who was standing be-
side the tee. A fine argument
resulted over the manner of
playing the next shot. Several
members in the group proposed
that they lay Barry down with
his head toward the hole and
let the owner play his ball out
of the pocket as best he could.
Barry couldn't see the wisdom
of this proposal from any angle,
his principal objection being
that he had no extra ribs to
spare.

Whitfield WOULD HIT HURLER
AS Much Reason for Batter SIueging
Pitcher as There Is for busting
Off Batsman.

George Whitfield of the Pittsburgh
Pirates says there is just as much rea-
son in a pitcher throwing a baseball
to brighten batter as there would
be in a batter taking a bat and break
ing the arm of a pitcher whom he
could not hit-same theory in each
case. And Whitfield hints that if he
finds any pitcher trying to dust him
off he'll do just that trick of equal
izing things by busting the offending
pitchers arm.
