SHOW VALUE OF
NEW GRID GAMP
Notre Dame Demonstrates
Effectiveness Of Pass and
Shifty Attack.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Footba11 Is
drifting away from the oldtime mass
play by degrees. The game. as it is
played today, is about 80 per cent old
fashioned. The forward pass and a
shifting attack developed to speedy OPEN
field playing or the passing play is the
vogue.
Notre Dame, one Of the best football
teams in the country, demonstrated the
style of new play to a. queens taste In
defeating Rutgers at the Polo Grounds.
The fighting Irish do everything well
on a gridiron. But they certainly show
a marked contempt for straight football.
Rutgers, outclassed and without a
chance to win, met the Hoosiers on a
fifty fifty basis every time they resorted
to the old line smashing game. And
Notre Dame did but little in the way of
crashing the Scarlet forwards through
out the game.
Knute Rockne, coach of the Notre
Dame team is firm believer in the for
ward pass and the new style of play.
I'VE have endeavored to develop the
forward pass to a degree of perfection"
he said. ave have concentrated on it
and we have found it the best ground
gamer and by far more effective than
the old style methods. The shift, too,
is a great. thing. I'll admit that we
lose lots Of ground in the way of penal
ties on account Of it, but I've found
that we more than make up for the loss
III ground gained"

SHARKEY GETS
TITLE CHANCE
Meets Buff Tomorrow for Ban.
tam CrOwn-Learns Lesson
of Broadway.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Broadway is the
poorest training ground in the world.
Even In these rather tame days, what
is left of the old bright lights Of the
gay white way does not tend to con-
ditiOn an athlete.
The "old timers" tell this, but the
youngster does not always listen.
The little bantam, Jack Sharkey, the
most popular boxer in New York, didn't
listen and he lost two great chances for
the crown of the little fellows.
Proving the exception to the old line
about opportunity knocking only once,
Sharkey gets his third big chance to-
morrow night in Madison Square Gar
den, when he goes into the ring with
Johnny Buff, holder Of the nyweight and
bantamweight titles.
Two years ago, Sharkey was just one
Of those little fellows who can be found
hanging around any gymnasium in any
town. He had some stuff" but he never
had a chance to get 1t out.
Sharkey left New York and he was
never missed until he made his overnight
jump into fame-by beating Jimmy
Wilde. the British fiyweight champion,
out in Milwaukee,
i ROM Five BUCKS"
TO SIC, O0C ATTRACTION.
When ne left his homo town, Sharksy
was q five buck" sparrtng partner
when he came back he was a SO, 900 at
traction. His thrilling 15-round draw
with Joe Lynch in the Garden Is still
remembered and the events that followed
are still being held up as examples by
managers with young prospects
Having more money that he ever
dreamed of before, Sharkey hit Broadway.
He liked the lights and be had a bunch
Of friends who liked to sit under the
glare with him.
The public demanded another Sharkey-
Lynch go and it ended In a knockout Of
. sadly unconditional boy. Lynch, the
victor and the clean liver, went out and
got the title.
Sharkey could have had another bout
with Lynch but Tex Richard wanted
him to prove himself. He failed to train
for what he thought was a set up and
he was again beaten by Roy Moore.
The Broadway moral finally hi& him
and he started training He admitted
that the "old timers" were right and he
went back to work.
His third chance for the title is just
as good as the other chances. All the
other bantams have Seen clamoring for
the first crack at Buff, but fate was kind
to him and he is the lucky one.

TECH-MANUAL
CLASH ON BILL
FOR TOMORROW
Big High School Game in
City Series Looks Like
Real Scrap.
TECHNICAL HOPES HIGH

With the big Technical-Manual grid
battle only a day away the hopes Of the
supporters Of the Green and White are
soaring sky-high. Another real scrap
seems to be on schedule In the second
football game Of the city high school
series, but from the looks of things now
the east side team has the slight edge.
Lots Of pepper is being shown at Tech
after holding ShOrtridge to 0to-0 tie.
The morale of the team has improved
remarkably since the return Of Nipper
and the shifting of Captain Hungate to
the back field. Nipper who has been out
most of the season with a brokeV hand
will more than likely be seen at quarter
back and Will try his luck shooting a
few passes.
Things seem to be running along pretty
smoothly with Coach' Burgess crew With
the line perking up and the offense very
much improved by the new combination
that Is being used. ZOllner is going
good at center and is counted upon to
show some stuff In the. coming contest.
The ends have never caused any worry
and are showing their usual good form.
WoOlgar is playing the game that, last
season won him recognition as one OF the
best flank men in the city, and Hays
and Aspinal, who alternate at the other
extremity, thoroughly know their Jobs.
There are no injuries to worry ABOUT
ana mummy ScFlmn2go VIII be the rule
today along with some signal drill.
If winning spirit counts for any
thing 1t seems as though the Green and
White have it. Dash ahd ginger seem
to be the main constituents of the eleven.
The whole school is solidly behind the
team and roofing hard for a victory.
INJURY JINX
AT MANUAL.
At Manual although the school is just
as much behind the squad as Tech there
seems to be a feeling in the air that
everything Is not just as rosy as It should
be. The Red and White team can not
seem to get away from the injury jinx
that has been following it lately. After
the disastrous Clinton defeat the Man
ual rOOterS are a bit down-hearted, al
though Tech supporter would never
suspect il if he were around. The South
siders will fight, there is no doubt about
that, but whether the determination to
battle to the end will offset the Tech
psychology of victory is another question.
Manuals back field seems to be in
rather a crippled condition and this is
surely not very encouraging. Summers,
Stewart and HarmesOn are none of them
In good shape and whether they get into
the game or not they will not be feeling
like putting the dash into their play that
Is so vitality necessary. Perhaps the con-
dition of the Red and White has been
bear stories are, but there is surely some
truth IN it all. Manual roOters are sure
that their team will win. They are back
ing them to the limit. Tech is lust
as sure. Tomorrow viii tell the tale.
