And from Us home within the heart
Still cleavcs the clouds that lie

And YOU shall never more depart
And shall never more despond.

The Princeton game occupies the
attention Of the whole university,
indeed as it does of the entire con-
ference. The field where the game
will be played seats precisely $1,000.
Applications range about 100000.
Bitterness and disappointment over
the failure to obtain seats may be
found anywhere in Chicago.
Chicago university is one of those
institutions located in a large CEN
ter of population where playing
room is limited. Therefore intra-
mural sports do not flourish. In
truth, the only competitive activity
seems to lie in the production OF
varsity teams in the various sports.
AS an example of how restricted
practical enthusiasm for athletics is
here, Stage never has been able to
recruit a sufficient number of men
to form a scrub football eleven. All
that Chicago has done in football
andNit is much-has been accom-
plished without devoted band of
scrubs. who take their battering day
after day that their more fortunate
brethren of the varsity may gain
glory for alma mater.
Were it not for the devotion OF
the freshman class, the varsity team
would have to scrimmage against
tackiing dummies. The conference
does not permit the first-year teams
to engage in intercollegiate cen
tests so the only incentive they
have to organize an outfit Is the
glory Of being beaten up BY tn

Jack Johnson did more to dis

New York, Oct. 19.-One of the
greatest developments in the mask
ing of the forward pass which was
used by the more advanced teams
late last season is being greatly eX-
banded and improved this year.
This consists of quick change
of direction by the recipient of the
pass. The Introduction of the TOR
ward pass brought about far great
er concealment of attack than ever
was possible under the old style OF
play. Not only may the intention
Of making the pass be concealed
but also its direction and finally,
quite as important, the distance
that it will cover The ends may
20 down the field and. by the for
ward passer delaying his pass, may
get 20 or even % yards into enemy
territory before the pass is thrown
them. Or one end may go way
down and the other only short
distance, making it uncertain
whether a long or short pass is
contemplated. Perhaps back n'ay
slip their middle line and take a
short forward pass over the center.
The new development this year,
however, provides that the receiver
of the pass no longer runs straight
for the spot where the pass is COM
ing but in an oblique or diagonal
direction. Then he turns suddenly
and shoots into the agreed upon
point where the ball meets him
This makes it particularly difficult
for the defense and is one of the
features in which the marvellous
possibilities of the modern game OF
football may develop very extcn-
sively
Too Many Injuries.
1t seems as if there must be
some reason for the very marked
cripple list at New Haven and ons
or two other places this year. As
matter of fact. it really takes
longer to get into condition where
these pulls and strains are pre-
vented than most people think.
No one would think of putting {
crew into beat to row without 6

long winter of preparation and the
general twists and turns Of a foot
ball scrimmage should be prepared
for in the spring and right through
the summer. Instead of that the
average candidate for the eleven
lives a more or less soft life up to
land then is expected to
scrimmage the first week in Octo-
Der. Good evidence of the advisa-
bility of preparation in avoiding in
juries is shown by some of the less
prominent universities where the
men really devote their attention to
conditioning themselves through
out the long summer.
Lack End Material.
The shortage of star ends on the
big teams is being markedly en-
phasized by the attempt of some
coaches to take backfield men and
make them into ends. The latest
example is Fishers tryout of Fits
ON one of the Harvard wings.
Roper at Princeton is trying the
reverse of what Fisher has done
at Cambridge. The Princeton coach
is trying out Snively, good end,
by putting him nearer the middle
of the line. Cleaves in the back
field is proving to be Roper's great
star and will give both Yale ard
Harvard a lot of trouble.
The good work of O'Neill at Co
lumbia for the last few years is
now beginning to reap its regard.
and while his team is not yet up to
the standard of those he developed
at Syracuse, it is showing much
more concerted action and steadi-
ness than the Blue and White has
exhibited for years.
Princeton Busy.
Roper at Princeton is driving his
team this week, taking advantage
of every opportunity to smooth off
the rough edges for the Chicago
game. With the Maryland game on
this Saturday and the long railway
journey breaking into next week,
he needs all the time he can get to
strengthen the forward wall.
Heavy work in preparation for
the game with Centre is practically
over for Harvard. Captain Jordan
is back in the lineup at Yale.

New York, Oct. 19.-Eight major
league clubs are on a still hunt to-
day for a third baseman. The
Washington, st. Louis, Boston and
Cleveland Americans and the Chi

ability to field are justified, he's

Washington attributes part of its
trouble last season to a bad start
and claims the bad start was due
to weakness at third.
Ellerbee played fair game for
St. Louis at third but was out a
lot because of injuries. The Browns
believe that a little brighter infield-

Chicago, Oct. 19-Alonzo Stage,
coach of Chicago, today has a quar-
terback problem to solve and the
solution is not simple. The great
Romney, who served so efficiently
at the helm last year, has been
graduated and two other field gen.
erals, on whom Stage counted this
season, are not in college. 1t re-
quires a pretty able citizen to di-
rect and swing the Chicago attack
as it should be swung. Eventually
the right man may be developed
Whether this will be done by the
time of the Princeton game remains
to be seen.
Muffied in a brown ulster, felt
hat pulled over his eyes, Stage fol-
lows his varsity in games against
the freshman team. Behind the
first-year men, lashing them to their
best endeavors, stand the staff of
assistant coaches, Mcclure, Payne
and Huntington. Stage seldom
says a word. He lets the quarter

the eye of the coach so that he
will remember them when they
come out for the varsity the next
year. Their one tangible reward
here is a Maroon sweater bearing
their class numerals. Sometimes

to be bolstered by varsity substi-

MOLINE |NJUNS
TO PLAY CARY

Ted Freeberg's clan Of Indians,
elated over the victory garnered Off
Johnny Nee's Evansville team last
Sunday, is being primed for the bat
tie with the Gary Elks at Gary next
Sunday.
Sundays yictoSy was just the en-
couragement the Freeberg tribe
needed to give it confidence. The
Indians can, see nothing but vic
tory over Gary despite the fact that
two of the men who proved most
valuable last SUNDAY. Walter Brind-
ley and jug" Earps. will not be
along when the boys embark from
their second invasion Of the Hoos-
ier state.
BriEdley has been signed by
Walter Flanagan Of the Rock Is
land Independents for a figure far
in advance of what he could earn
v it'll the Indians each Sunday. The
Green Bay team is after the serv-
ices Of Earps and he is in that city
today talking the matter over with
the Packers management.
The absence of Brindley and
Earps will greatly weaken the In
dian aggregation. With Brindley
at quarter, the team had more con-
fidence. probably because Of the
mere fact that Brindley has played
faster football and had more ex-
perience than some of the clan
who have been handling the pivot's
jcb. Walt is also a likable and a
peppery chap and the Indians will
feel lost without him. Earps proved
IA power on the line last Sunday,
which is considered by Coach Free
berg the weak department Of his
\ aggregation.
The Gary Elks have had a first
class grid organization for three
years. Last season they were un-
defeated until they tackled Paddy
Driscoll's Cardinals. and then they
lost by a small count This season
the Gary eleWn is stronger than
ever and crowds Of 1000 and 5000
are attending. their games.
