Fred A. Hayner, considered a fine
connoisseur of eastern football, has
written an article in the Chicago
Tribune of a recent date, in which
| he makes the assertion that football
is more intricate in the west, that 1t
gives men more imaginative stimulus,
is more productive of quick, sure
thinking, and allows more play of the
! original mind in tight squeezes.
He holds that eastern football has
given over its growth to the develop
ment of line-piercing plays until it
has perfected a system of hne-pierc-
ing rules that is the highest degree
of perfection.
we agree Win MIN IN part. w est
ern coaches are giving up the line
plunge. Every year in the west sees
| a decrease in the number of teams
that depend solely upon direct pierre
| ing of the line for their yardage.
They are opening up with the for
ward pass, a play that, when success
| full, will net yardage equal to three
! or four line-plungeS.
Yet, on the other hand, eastern
/ teams have developed the system OF
| line-piercing plays to such a high de-
gree of perfection that western teams
| in competition find themselves at a
! severe handicap to call a halt, when
! halts should be called in opponent
advance. The eastern coaches have
| fought the taking up of the pass, as
/ proven by the strong antagonism
shown in every rule meeting. They
feel superior in their own style OF
| teaching. Yet recently,-when an OPP
| ponent's line tightens to an almost
| impregnable fastness, eastern teams
have been opening up,-resorting to
| the pass. 1t is safe to predict that
| another few years Will find the east
/ and west modes of football nearer
and nearer alike.
In handling the question from the
| standpoint of the player, the western
man must have much more of the
| quickthinking abilities. He must have
an accurate remembrance of many
| plays. all of them necessary from the
/ standpoint of open football. One OF
! the principal values of the game is the
ability which it gives participants to

those terrible aches and pains have
left me, and onlyA the other day

stairs in an office building when the
elevator was out of order.
My appetite is just splendid now,
and just today for the first time in

go and eat a piece of pie between

think quickly, surely and accurately.
The eastern man has fewer plays to
remember. But those few plays are
worked with clocklike precision He
is concerned with his own position
alone. He has certain grooves in
which to fit himself in certain plays.
When he has completed his part, he
lets his teammates take care of them
selves. That is the eastern philosophy
Of the game.
Far different is the western. With
more plays to execute, and large
number of them open, differing from
the simple yet terrific line plunging,
the western backs. ends and even line
men have occasion to rise to brilliant
personal heights by individuality of
play.
1t is question which method is the
best. Eastern teams play with un-
imaginative precision. They play
close to the ground, housekeeping the
sod, every play resembling the work
ings of a clock. Yet, when Harvard
players found sPrinceton's line too
tight for penetration last year. they
restorted to clever forward passing to
tie the score.
Skirting ends, forward passing, the
so-called rounding plays, all of them
enter western football.
Take your choice-both of them are
football, perfected at times, but always
liable to fluke.
Lloyd Becker. a one-armed boy from
Meriden high school, is out for the
Washburn varsity this year. Becker's
injury is only a superfluous handicap.
He has been playing with the Wash
burn scrubs against the Variety in
scrimmage, and several times each
practice the cry goes up-"The one
armed man got Him" Becker's arm is
off at the elbow. The right member is
the injured one.
Coach w. H. Hargiss of the En-
pcria Normals, is branching off little
from his usual occupation of wedding
out scrubs, devising new plays, and
turning out crack teams.
His new stunt is that of "pep-in-
stillation."
"BiIl' has ordered 500 black skull
caps with which he will deck, out the

around the bottom of the cap.

The little dog became more and more

GROUND IN FINE SHAPE
e
High Temperatures and Rains
Place Kansas in Excellent Crop
Condition-Seed Bed for Wheat.
Br 5. D. Flora, Meteorologist.

High temperatures for the season
and heavy rains in almost every part
of Kansas made this a favorable week
for the growth of fall vegetation and
put the ground in fine condition for
seeding. except in a few central local.
tiles, which are still suffering from
drought. The northern half of the
state generally had from i to 2 inches
of rain with some counties visited by
downpours of to 4 inches The
southern half was not quite so we'll
favored, but much of it had to exceed
an inch OF moisture. Temperatures
for the week averaged degrees to
10 degrees above normal.
Corn cutting is practically finished
in all parts and the blades of that left
standing have generally dried out and
turned yellow. New corn is being fed
to some extent in almost all parts.
Fifty 70 seventy-five per cent of the
grain sorghums and cane have been
cut in the western half of the state
and the bulk of the crop that is left
standing will mature seed in from 10
days to two weeks. In some places it
is already past danger from frost.
Wheat sowing is approximately half
finished in the northwest counties and
5 to 20 per cent done in the central
portion of the state, but not yet started
in most of the eastern counties. where
wet fields as well as apprehension of
danger by fly are now delaying it.
Rains of the last two weeks have
made a great improvement in the seed
Bed for wheat, as they have softened
the ground, reduced many cloddy
fields, and added a valuable store of
moisture for starting the crop They
have also been a great benefit to fall
pastures, tho in some extreme western
counties there are complaints that
buffalo grass has greened up to such
an extent that frost may damage it.
