TIA LUCK n THE SEASON STARTS ONAPRIl
JUDGE lands FACES !.
BIG JOB THIS YEAR
of Ne,o Head-Misht Investigate Ownership Of
Some CIubs-Should End SquabbLes
BY GRANTLAND RICE

TT IS always simple enough to stant
L on the outside and toss in sugges
tions. This applies to the present base
ball situation as wen as any form o.
industry or trouble.
As we understand It, Judge Lands
intends this coming spring to transfer
the game from the magnates' Offices to
the playing field, which would be the
wisest move that any one could possibly
make.
But before this transfer can be made
there are still several matters which Il is
vitally necessary to handle in proper
fashion at the winter conclave.
What must be done ism { a matter Of
expedlency, but Of necessity IL baseball
Is to look for any patronage or support
next spring and summer.
The Main Jobs Ahead
THE first move to be made, Of course,
i Is in connection with the Chicago
White Sox scandal, and every other
crooked ballplayer, with especial atten-
tion paid to naming and branding every
gambler that had any hand In the at
tempted wrecking Of the game.
This case isn't closed, by any means.
Every fan in America is entitled to
know the name Of every crooked player
been made to hang the branding iron
upon every gambler involved, with espe-
cial attention paid to the main crooks.
II this can't be done 1t will merely be
unfortunate for the future Of the game,
for no explaining will be sufficient tc
clear up the atmosphere. American fans
have faith in Judge Lands. The,
haven't as much faith In many Of the
others.
In the beginning Ban johnson and
several club owners opposed the Lands
arrangement. It Is now up to johnson
and these club owners to cooperate In
every way with the new ruler of the
game to see that the entire smear Of dirt
Is cleaned out Of the corridor.
Other Moves
THIS insn't the only move that must
i be made. There have been report,
that one or two club owners owned
stock or control in other clubs.
In the cleaning up process It should
an oath that he owns no stock In any
outside club-and It should also be
necessary for each club to name its
owner or owners under oath.
The game isn't going to stand for
any syndicate baseball. This h a mat =
ter Of extreme Importance which Judge
Lands undoubtedly will handle in
thorough fashion.
These rumors of syndicate baseball
may be true or untrue. But they have
become, widespread and should be put to
trial.
Concerning Squabbles
THEN there is the matter of feuds
L sQuabbles and other forms of troubles
that have broken out in one league OF
another for about forty years.
The National League was the storm
center for more than a decade, but
when the National finally declared peace
within it's ranks the American League
developed series of feuds that have
been even more bitter than hurtful to
the game.
Ban, brought up on the old politics OF
the game, has never been able to see

self or part thereof in front of
player who is dribbling the ball, and
either take it away or force him to
get rid Of. 1t at a disadvantage"
In tackling the bodies of the players
do not come in contact as in charging.
There are many forms of tackling. in
Guiding the back tackle, the split tackle
and the jab, but will confine myself
/ TO the simple methods. Let IL be un-
derstood that the tackle applies to the
dribbler as the opponent. The drib-
bier is propelling the ball forward,
first touching it with one foot and
tten with the other or simply using one
foot.
The tackler has observed the moves
of the dribbler and, timing his move
toward the dribbler, watches when the
ball is farthest away from the drib-
bier and puts his foot to the ball, tap
ping it to one side or the other out of
the dribbler's reach: or he may tap
the ball gently between the dribbler's
legs, running round the dribbler and
getting control of the ball; or he may
deliberately hook the ball away from
the dribbler's foot, pulling it over to
one side clear of the dribbler and let
ting him run on If he is going at
speed; or he may run across the drib-
bler's path, taking the ball with him:
All of these moves require nice
timing in the action of the feet. In
hooking the ball the tackler must be
for IL the hook is not neatly and clean
ly done the hooker, particularly II the
dribbler stumbles, Is apt to be blown up
| for tripping. The same caution is re-
quired when tapping the BALL between
the opponents legs or rushing across
his path.
Must Act Quici,ly
These tackling moves are very neces-
sary on the part Of halves and full"
backs, and while they seem very de-
liberate on paper they are not so in
action, for the time permitted to ac-
complish the moves is really very short
and call for very quick action mentally
and physically.
The fullback must be very quick and
very sure Of himself and, Of course, as
he is the last line of defense he must
make sure of getting the ball and fall
ing to get the ball must stop the op-
ponent from advantageously doing any
thing with it; failing in his blocking or
tackling he WILL of course, resort to n
charge, being sure that he or one OF his
side gets the ball.
So far as the halves are concerned
they have more freedom in their tack
ling movements and opportunities for
more than one try, and, failing to ac-
complish anything in the way of tack
ling, can worry the forward until the
back can come into action and try his
skill in getting possession of the ball.
The half as soon as the back comes into
action puts himself in position to have
another 60 at the opponent in case the
back Is beaten.

CANNELL TO COACH GREEN
Chosen Football Head at Dartmouth
to Succeed Spears

Hanover, Y. IT,, Jan, I1.-Jackson
l.. Canncll, 10. of Everett, Mass, was
named head coach of Dartmouth's ;
1921 football team by the athletic coun
ell yesterday. The members of this body
have been in practically continuous ses-
sion for several days in an attempt to
solve the Green's most pressing athletic
problem. caused by the departure Of
Spears as coach at Virginia.
Although one of the youngest men
ever appointed as head coach of a big
college eleven, Connell's experience
seems TO qualify him for such an under
taking. Furthermore, his selection will
allow the adoption Of definite coaching
system. which has been noticeably lack =
ing at Dartmouth for the last few years,
when other colleges were reaping the
benefits of a continuous policy.
