COACHING
BEING LEARNED
AT ILLINOIS u.
Many Students Enroll in School for
Graduates of Which There
is Big Demand.

Urbana, Ill, Oct. Gone hun
dred freshmen have just enrolled
in the University of Illinois ath-
letic coaching school. These fresh
men and upper classmen come from
% states.
The athletic coaching school was
started by George A. Huff eight
years ago as a part Of the UniYer-
sity of Illinois summer school for
the purpose of offering an Oppor-
tunity to school and college coach
es to improve their technique and
knowledge of athletics. Three years
ago a four-year course likewise was
added Students may graduate from
this latter course with degree OF
bachelor of science in physical ed
ucation. The entrance require
ments are the same as for any 9TH
er college in the university.
The work of the Illinois school
for coaches has already attracted
wide attention and other universe
ties are following the example set
by the University of Illinois.
A number of Illinois men have

into good coaching positions. Tug
Wilson has already assumed his
duties as director of athletics in
Drake university; Dave Brown,
varsity half-miler, is coaching in
Waite high school, Toledo, Ohio;
Bob Fletcher, star quarterback on
the varsity for the last three years,
is coaching at Findlay. Ohio, and
his brother Ralph, who won num-
Der of games for Illinois by we'll
placed goals from the field, is coach
of the West Aurora high school
Russell Linden, varsity end. is
coaching at New Trier high school
at Kenilworth, Ill, and Harold Da-
Wis is located at Orange. Calf
The demand for trained coaches
far. exceeds the supply, and as a
result in a great many cases men
who have been trained as engi-
neers, chemists and what not are
filling the coaching positions. WheI
the coaching schools which are now
conducting courses function to their

HIGH TEAM ON
EDGE FOR GAME
AT GALESBURG
Hopes of All Cen
tered an Making
the Trip.
BY PIGSKN PETE.

The first game OF the season
away from home always exc1tes a
thrill IN the high school football
player, particularly for the young
ster playing his first year on the
team, and thoughts of the impend-
ing struggle at Galesburg Saturday
are causing just this in the breasts
of Coach Kfmmel's warriors, The
mentor is expected to make an
nouncement Of those whom he
plans to take to the Knox county
city after this afternoons workout.
On these selections hinges the
hopes of many youngster.
In previous years Galesburg has
generally given Rock Island hard
scrap, and such a contest is antici-
pated Saturday. The locals will
enter the game grimly determined
TO measure the Galesburg lads in
the dust, while the home boys no
doubt are just as anxious to show
the invaders up before the admir-
ing ewes of GaleSburg's rooters.
Coach Kimmel has been devoting
considerable attention to the mex
perienced, or so-caIled green men,
on his squad in hopes of fortifying
them against stage fright that
sometimes results on a foreign
field the first time. 1t is hoped that
the three games already played this
season have been ample to steady
the youngsters.
Davenport Improving.
Davenport high is improving rap
idly each day, according to reports
from the Iowa camp. Tuesday the
red and blue eleven defeated the
Palmer school, II to 0, being a du-
plication of their previous victory
this season over the budding chiro-
practors. These scrimmages are
proving of inestimable value to the
high school in the perfection OF de-
fensive play.
Coach McGinnis is drilling his
men hard to overcome the mistakes
made in the West Liberty game. So
far a marked improvement can be
seen in the teamwork of the first
squad. The coach is warning his
charges against being over-confi-
dent when arrayed against Gene
SEQ next Saturday. simply because
Rock Island defeated it so handily
last Saturday. Geneseo undoubted-
ly will show much betteE form, due
to having it's mistakes forcibly
brought to the front by the Island
ers.
Stetson, Quinn and Goodell are
expected to be back in the lineup
next Saturday. They will add to
the strength of Davenport conSid-
| erably. Goodell cracked a bone in
his arm during scrimmage several
weeks ago, but the injury has en-
| tireIy healed. He is a quarterback.

course.
That Harley constitutes the
greatest single menace to the
chances of the Independents seems
to be taken for granted by tri-city
fans, while Stinchcomb is regarded
a close second. In fact, this pair,
working together as they did at
college, should cause the locals no
end of trouble.
Harley is a spectacular open
field runner. Combining speed and
uncanny football sense, he cOnst-
tutes about 80 per cent of the Sta
leys' OffenSe. The Deeaturites have
a powerful line that is expected to
hold Rock Island in check. Man.
ager Halas has unlimited resources
at his command in securing players
of known ability, his latest acqui-
sitiOn being Ralph Scott of the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin. Scott was
formerly an all-WeStern selection
at tackle.
The contest will be staged on
Staley field, which has a seating
capacity of 5000. Part of the seat

game is to be played, while an
equal portion is for all others,

chair seats to be had at SITS, while
general admission prevails for all
other seats in the park at s1.65.
Both prices include war tax.
The Parsons game will

Omitted Press Staff Corespondent)
New York, Oct 6--The Yankees
entered the second game of the
worlds series today with a brand
new reputation to sustain-greased
lightning with brains.
Until they flashed their spectacu-
lar win over the Giants in yester-
days opener, Higgins man had
been classified as a ponderous,
sIow-moving, turgid thinking outfit
with but two-virtues, ability to
"crash the old apple" and Carl
Mays.
The McGrawites played them for
just that sort of a steam roller, and
the steam roller turned into a racing
car without missing a stroke. The
Yankees probably never played a
header or speedier offensive game
in their lives And their defense
was 1aWless.
Gone was the slashing, tearing
attack that had carried them to
American league championship
The hit and run was replaced by the
safe and sane sacrifice, the extra
base waIlop by the well placed sin
gle, and how those Yanks ran bases

preparation to hunt elephants and
had run in to a nest of rattesnakes.
Yesterdays exhibition was an ex-
emplification of the old adage that
pride goeth before a fall" The
Giants had boosted that the great
Babe Ruth would not be purposely
passed. 1t was Phil Douglas an
xiety to live up to this boast that
gave the YankS their first and win
ming run. If there was any break
in the game it came when NShufflin'

Elmer Miller had singled and
been sacrificed neatly to second by
Roger Peckinpaugh. Mindful of his
duty of pitching to Ruth, Douglas
got the ball over, not wisely, but too
well. A blind man could have
pasted it, and Babe assuredly is not
blind.
Wham, the leather streaked to
center on a line, Miller raced home,
and away went the old ball game.
The Yanks crossed" the Giants
by pulling the unexpected at every
turn.

ARGUS GUESTS
Every Play of Opening Game of
Worlds Series Recorded for
Several Hundred.

Several hundred baseball fans
crowded Second avenue in front
of The Argus yesterday afternoon
and saw every play of the first
game of the Worlds Series be-
tween the New York Yankees and
the New York Giants faithfully de-
picted on the huge scoreboard.
Within three seconds after a play
was made at the Polo Grounds, it
was clearly shown here.
+. The crowd was slightly smaller
than at a Worlds Series game n
the past depicted on The Argus
board. This was due largely to
the fact that a western team is not
involved, and because favorites are
not easily picked where the teams
are representative of the same city.
The contention Of New Workers
that this is strictly a New York
affair seems acceptable to the mid
dleWest. However, there were
thousands of empty seats at the
Polo grounds, indicating that the
fall off in interest is not confined
exclusively to this section.
The action OF the Rock Island po-
lice in keeping that part of Sec
ond avenue in view of the score
board cleared of automobiles, is
worthy of praise. The fans were
able to witness the game with the
least Inconvenience, as a result.

FOREST HILLS OFFERS
UNIQUE APARTMENTS

Much interest is being shown In the
new apartment houses that are being
completed In Forest Hills Gardens by
syndicate OF twenty or 80 of the residents
of that development. Grosvenor After
bury supervised their construction and
Timmis & Chapman were the architects
The houses are on a triangular plot ad-
Joining the Forest Hills Inn and the
Station Square. The landscape work Is
being done by Olmstead Brothers OF Bos-
ton. who had much to do with laying out
the original Forest Hills section.
The features of the apartments are
the unusually largo living rooms. which
In some cases are 25x30 feet In the
studio suites. Others are 16x30 and
16x26. Practically every suite has one
or two corners with maximum of win
dow space and varying exposures. The
kitchens have been arranged so as 10
give room for little breakfast room
with a window. In some of the suites
Pullman dining rooms have been pro-
vided. Tho walls of the living rooms
are paneled and finished In soft tone
paints to suit the tastes OF the tenants.
An unusual number OF base plugs for
lighting fixtures have also been provided.
The entrance to the building is through
a Travatine marble hall finished by w.
e. J. Sloane. and access to the apart
inents Is provided through corridors with
Caen stone finished walls and made tile
floors. Two Otis elevators and good
service are provided for the convenience

BY THE ODD PARAGRAPHER.

A speculative builder who has erected
apartment houses for the last twenty
years and who has done some construc-
ton work during the last two years de-
spite discouragements was asked recently
how much building costs had fallen off
in the last six months.
Considerably In some directions and
practically none in others" he replied.
THE total saving on a Ave story fifty
foot apartment house, however. would
not be sufficient to tempt any builder OF
experience" continued this builder. 81
have plans in my office for a house Of
this type. and all / can figure TO save
over previous costs Is about per cent.
This opinion is interesting, but rather
difficult to reconcile with recent esti-
mates obtained by various city depart
ments for construction work. The Board
Of Education opened bids a few days
ago for construction work on p. S. No.
so. a forty-eight room building to be
erected In The Bronx. The lowest esti-
mate was s792.100. made by the Fry
mer & Hanna Company. which had
asked $969.400 last October to do the
same work and which at that time had
been underbid by two other contracting
firms. The low bid then was ss44.100.
but the contractor was subsequently per-
mitted TO withdraw tho bid as he de-
clared he had omitted ss9.s27 for ma
sonry.
A further indication OF the drop In
building costs Is given in the estimate
made by the Building Bureau as to the
probable cost of construction work for
p. S. No. so. Basing its estimate on
bids opened last October. the bureau
declared that tho city probably would
have TO pay S9s5.000 for the work. Since
this estimate was higher than the highest
bid made for the contract IL seems rea-
sonable TO assume that practically every
item entering into the construction OF
the school yielded somewhat to the pres
sure for lower prices. 1t is estimated
that the city will save nearly 25 per
cent IL II decides 10 award the contract
