Mr.. Irwin attended conference in

Irwin, ''he has demonstrated his eff

craftsmanship he never could have dealt

realization of their responsibility. As
to diplomacy--a very necessary quail
fication for PRESIDENT was severely
tested in Europe among strange peoples
and he brought results which | think il

Mr.. Hoover is broad viSioned and

simply there as an individual. He helped
any number of stranded Americans who
were left in sorry plight on account of
the European conflict and later formed
the American committee TO assist Amer

Mr.. Hoover has strong constructive
tendencies. He always gives n disin-
terested character of service and work,
looking at things on broad scale.
While he may not he acquainted very
much with politics. he nevertheless has
keen insight and knows how to meas

GONE OF the plays that the old-time

thinking the criss-cruss IS coming
once more, acts smartly so as TO stop

the extra pass and find themselves
blndly chasing the wrong back once

As say, these two plays, when

The criss-crosz and triple pass do
not work with any great success
against a team Well-grounded in
Eridiron principles because the de-
fensiTe ends, on crossing the line Of
scrlmmage 70 get into a play. hold
their thanking positions until the Of

Thus an end doesn't run hurly-burly
from his post when he sees the first

thus leaving his own end unprotected
when the criss-cross IS worked and
another back comes around the other
way
Play Too Cautious.
Il IS because well instructed ends

that this play doesn't very often work
with them When IL does work. IL is
usually because the end has been
blocked and not because he has been
deceived.
The triple pass is rather danger
Gus for a team e use against an op-

takes so much time TO make the three
passes after the ban has been snapped

That is the principal reason
why the triple pass doesn't Eet
much in the way Of results

Last OF all the triple pass g.
