RAY Explained.
The play explained by most of the
Pacific Coast experts tell Of ten men
being on the line OF scrimmagc with
one man back who crtches the ball
from tie center by the direct pass
Route. This does not seem exact, as in
all probability it was variation of
the old spread play uscu by Yale sew
erpl years ago and tried also by ott ~
teams. in which three Of the backs
move to one end OF the line of scrim-
mage and one yard back and conse-
quently are in position TO furnish
strong interference for the runner,
who receives the ball on "A direct pass
from the center.
Why Harvard could not stop this
attack has not yet been learned, but
anyway Dead Mans Play" sure
placed Oregon's big trio. Steers,
Huntington and Pacobberger in the
GridirOn spotlight, and had many of
the eastern rooters thinking seriously
yesterday morning when they read
the detailed account of the big foot
ball classic.
Exile Re-enRaged.
With the Gridirpn sport fast TAX
to make room for the winter baseball
scraps and trade deals. comes word
from the Hilltop that Coach Al ENcn-
dine will return to the Blue and Gray
next fall. What Exile did and his
powers as a sridiron coach is too well
known to local followers of the game
for me to dwell on any length OF
time.
What Georgetown authorities think
Of Exile was shown when the squad
returned to this city after the Boston
College game. Athletic Adv.sO,
Charlie Cox, of the II Iitoppers, pre-
scented the famous Carlisle end with
"A check which called for $l.0JJ az a
bonus for his work in 1873 And from
the inside comes the word that EXies
contract for 1870 calls for increase
of H.;10. With the Indian back at the
Hill next fall Georgetown is sure To
have another machine that can 60
out and give the best. just about the
best they are looking for.
Play for Armstrong Fund.
Local Independent football teams
will hardly give the other winter
sports a chance as they do not seem
to know when the gridiron season is
and offer to play a beneht for the
Armstrong fund is the Triangle Ath-
letic club. as Manager Dolan in
formed me last night that he would
place his team against either the
Mohawks or any other l40-pound club
under the same agreement which the
Navy Yard eleven offered the Rex
Athletic Club.
But it's a little late for football, so
let's hear from the Y. NJ. c. A.
yankees" in reference to playing the
ElOysius club basketball tossers for
this worthy cause.
Joint League Meeting.
Things in baseball. meaning trades.
purchase. and last. but not least. the
big scrap between Ban B. Jahnson
and his faithful tive and tn" insurg-
ents. FraZee. Huston and Comiskey
Company will get under way again
in earnest next week. when both
lea cues and the commission are
scheduled to hold their confabs.
From where we sit now it appears
that a joint ses sion will be in the line
OF order before the week gets many
hours old and. by the way. Of hOidin"
baseball meetings the local board Of
VlTeciOtS are 10 nave cigar SIlOhll.-
contests next Tuesday when they
adopt everything in the line of bust
ness that they have done to date.
Let the Wine Flow.
Once upon time major league
basehHlI meetinCS were conducted
smoothly and VIZ Nncor.
As tn" waitprs fluttered hithcr
and yon. the maSnates grew COM
pIacent and their smiling eye ar
eucd peaceful times. Isn't there
some cellar in tho neiEhborho"d Of
some Of our forty-eiCht states
where the T"Ruls Of the rational
pastime can hold one of their reGu-
lar old fashioned meetings, as we
would like to sec the bell hops and
elevator boys Jump around once
more like a four-month old bunny.
