Plans for the accommodation of b. GOO rabid football fans at the coyote Indian clash Thanksgiving Day aitef noon, at Eastlake park were apout complete last night Athletic Director Christensen of the high school an- uounced. The largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game in the val Icy is expected to be on hard when Referee Jerry Abbott sounds his open ing whistle at o'clock Thursday af- ternoon.
 Long hours of signal practice are being dished out this week by the Coyote and Indian coaches. Both
 teams are being drilled behind care fully guarded enclosures. to prevent the enemy from too intimate an ac- auaintance with the trick formations and plays of the respective teams. Neither coach is taking any chance
 of iniurng any of his players before Tursdaya titular struggle and, ln consequence, no scrimmaee will he in- dulged ir by either team today or Wednesday. Both squads are on edge and ane, hard workouts th;s after
 noon. win be let off with liglt s.g-
 nal drill tomorrow.
 Coach Robinson has given the Coy
 otes an abundance of trick plays and formations during the past 10 days | time in the Turkey Day clash. Witf
 three good kickers and two mer

 skin, Coach Robinson has constructed
 the most bewildering attack ever pre-
 sented by a Coyote squad.

 precision. or they can hit the lin 3 hard and low. Two of the same thre players are used again on the passin 3 end of the basket ball style of attacl t Coach Robinson is fortunate in be . ing so well fortified with plungin \ backs. so the Red jerseyed athlete n will not be forced to depend entirel T upon the open style to advance tn - spheroid In Captain Charley Gille

skirts of the Hanks is that, in ms anxiety, he frequently leaves his in- reference and dashes out by himself. In games against such teams as Mesa, this practice didn't make much dif- ference. because those teams were woefully weak at taekling, but against the Indians, long known for their skill at dropping the man carrying the ball. Rosser will find himself thrown for losses unless he remains behind his in- terference and permits them to dis pose of intended tacklers.
 From tackle to tackle. the Coyote line has proved a veritable stone wall, even against the Alumni and the U. of A. second squad.
 Benefitting by this knowledge, the Indians will probably resort to the old style of line hammering only when a few yards are needed to give a first down.
 Quarterback Stewart, playing his second year with the Braves, is said | to be one .of the best leaders in the state. Quick to size up the opposi- tion's weak spots, it is claimed that his judgment in selection of plays is unerring.

Honor Ahead


 And this fall Gipp has sparkled his way to the crest of football fame. His super showing against the West Pointers made the customers sit up on their launches and gaze in admira- ton like they used to do when Ted Coy was the whole works at Yale. Gipp is not a big fellow, but he is built for speed and versatility. He stands feet and 1oh inches tall and weighs 172 pounds.
 It is his last year at Notre Dame and it might be added that the door to the All-American mythical clever of 1920 is standing wide open to th' great Hoosier back.

Freak Episodes
WITH the season opening April T.
w what price could you have got that
ball club composed Of Ty Cobb, He'll
man, Veach. Bush, Flagstead. Young
Leonard and others wouldn't win a ball
game until May had begun to drift
along? ..
It was an astounding sight to observe
the dased Tigers day by day grabbing in
vain for one lone victory out OF car
load Of running starts.
1t was merely one Of those things that
rise up to battle the dope. And yet even
this isn't the most amazing thing that
baseball has produced.
The 1915 Case Of the Giants
| V0U may or may not recall the case
L of the Giants in 1915. That ball
club established record for freak turns
that will likely never be edualed. Out
Of the first fifteen games played at home
IL Su., rta
eight straight games before the turn
came.
Starting on the road around May u
hopeless tail cnder, a battered derelict
upon the penuant sea, the same club
suddenly whrled and won seventeen
straight games on the road establishing
road record for consecutive victories.
That was freakish enough. But II
! isn't ALL After winning seventeen
straight games the club then suddenly
settled to its early bush league form and
began to blow one game after another,
fading hopelessly into the shadows.
When all seemed lost again, tn,
Giants suddenly tossed aside theil
winding sheets on the afternoon of Sep
tember 7, and from there on won TWEEN
| ty-siX consecutive contests, establish
! ing another record.
| Here we have Dall cluD tnat was M
good most of the year, winning seven
teen straight games in one stretch ant
! twenty six in another.
For freak episodes this performanc,
still holds the purple toga trimmed with
a fringe of pink and gold.
Not to Forget
IJOW. also about the case of thu
IL White Sox of 1906? Beyond mid
season they we're in seventh place ant
sinking swiftly.
Then without any notice whatsoever
! they suddenly whirled, won nineteer
straight games and the pennant, ant
before they were stopped had beaten th'
great Cub machine in world series.
This fact was parallelcd by the Bos
ton Braves Of 1914, who, starting from
last place in July, not only won th'
National League pennant, but ther
wrecked the Athletics on four straigh
