In reading the newspaper ac-
counts OF a football game we only
get It from the spectators view
point. 1t would be an entirely diff
ferent story and much more inter
an active part were able to give
his side OF It as he experienced it.
There are many interesting incl
dents which occur during a game
that the crowd does not know about.
Very few fans know when a good
defensive play has been made and
as 30 many OF the sport writer's do
not know the finer points of the
game. about the defensive forma-
tions and how they are changed by
the field general to meet each at
tempt by the offense. that the play
ers' side is rarely given.
As I have previously said. the
field general directs the defense as
well as the offense. His most
strategic position in this Is TO back
up the line. Here he is able to
watch the eyes OF the opposing
backs, he can see the direction their
body is pointing. He Is in a posi-
tion 10 notice any movement made
by them that will indicate the point

Often Make Mistakes.
OF course there are many times
when he will be mistaken in his
.diagnosis and the play will go in the
other direction. But the majority Of
times smart football player will be
able to work out a great number Of
these plays. Even the best Of them
will give away plays sometimes.

School gridiron cohorts clash in
their second annual tilt in the fall

1t is needless perhaps. to mention
that the Cherry and White is out for
a lot OF revenge for the previous de-
feats in the field of athletic endeavor
which was apportioned them by the
Gold and White.
Last season, the first for the Sal

test which was supposed TO be al
cinch for the representatives Of the
Delaware avenue institution. In
basketball the Highlets were forced
to take the short end in both games

occurred in baseball.

SHORE LEAGUE
Business Pressure Prompts
Resignation of President
of Organization
WAS GOOD LEADER,
s5 ALL FANS AGREE

SALISBURY, Nd, Nov lon
sthe eve OF the convening Of the off,
cials OF the six clubs OF the Eastern
Shore Baseball League in this city
Friday, when the status of the
league for the 1928 season will be
.determined. comes an announcement
from President Walter 3. Miller that
he will not again assume the re-
sponsibilities OF that position next
year.
This announcements Is expected to
abe blow 10 the supporters of or
.ganized bali on the peninsula. Presi-
dent Miller is conceded by those who
closely followed the sport last sea-
son as the person who did most in
bringing TO a successful close the
snitial schedule OF the circuit.
While the season was at its height,
two towns, facing financial loss be-
cause OF small attendance locally,
threatened to withdraw their fran
chises from the league. Through
the efforts OF the league president
the towns were encouraged to re-
main and shortly after the attend
ance began TO increase to the benefit
OF the two clubs and the league.
A rule, by which the home club
is held responsible for the personal
safety OF the umpires and the visit
ing club against riots and other
disorders in the ball parks, was in
troduced and enforced by President
Miller and was thought to have been
an innovation in organized ball. This
won the appreciation Of President
NJ. II. Sexton OF the American As
sociation OF Orga nized Baseball, who
stated that the rule would be en- |
couraged in other leagues.
Business pressure is the reason I
advanced by Mr.. Miller for his resig-
nation as the league executive.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass.-Who is the
most valuable back, John Thomas,
of Chicago. or George owen, OF
Harvard?
Last year George owen was uni
versally picked for the All-America
/ by every expert on football in the
country. BY a majority he was
picked as the most valuable player
on the gridiron.
One OF the things for which Owen
is noted Is ability to plunge through
the line. The greatest line plunger
in the game. was the opinion freely
expressed last year.
When Princeton played Chicago a
dozen of the leading eastern experts
saw John Thomas Of Chicago in ac-
tion. Thomas was a great plunging
back last year but the Thomas OF
this year Is a much improved player.
Scored Three TouchdOwns.
Thomas scored Chioago's three
touchdowns against Princeton. That !
in itself Is a remarkable feat. He |
scored the three touchdowns
through his own individual bril-
liancy plus excellent help from his
line.
1.-The greatest exhibition OF one
man football in the history Of the
game" was the consensus Of the
eastern. experts. They frankly ad-
mitted that owen alone compared
with him in that particular depart
ment OF play.
Who Is the greatest plunging back
In the country? I would say John
Thomas OF Chicago
Who Is the more valuable player
Iohn Thomas of Chicago. or George {
owen Of Harvard? l would say
George owen without much hesita-
ion.
Thomas Is n Specialist.
Thomas is a wonder. He Is a line {
,rusher II there ever was one. How

4 A chap with the unromantic name
OF Stout who was on the program
as substitute end for Princeton, wa,
the hero for Princeton, the villair
for Harvard.
Coach Bill Roper, of the Tigers
has a habit of rushing a fresh man
into the fray any time he feels that
one of his players is weakening
He watches every move of his ath-
letes closely. 1t seems second nature
for him to detect when a player has
lost his punch.
While Stout didn't break into the
headlines of the Princeton-Harvard
game. his entry into the affair was
the turning point as l saw II.
Shortly after he had entered the
game, only play or two having
been made, Cleaves of Princeton
punted to Spalding on Harvard's
40-yard line. The punt was high and
gave Stout a chance TO pick his way
through the host of Harvard inter
ferers. As Spaiding caught the bali,
Stout tackled him viciously and
threw him for six-yard loss.
Back in punt formation, Gherke,
on the next play, took a perfect
pass from Clarke and started a wide
swing around Princeton's right end
It seemed Harvard had decided to
Immediately try out the substitute
Stout.
Stout broke through, tackled
Gherke so vlciously that the ball
bounded out Of his hands and was
recovered by Princeton on about
the 16-yard line. Stout's desperate
tackle, causing Harvard to tumble.
had put the Tigers in a position to
score.
On the second play. Gray took
triple pass and aided by excellent
interference on the part of Stout
ran the ball to the two-yard line.
from where Princeon pushed it over
for the touchdown that decided the
game.
In four plays Princeton had
scored a touchdown and Stout fig
ured prominently in three OF the
four plays.

INTERESTING SOUTH AMERICA.

What seems to be an excellent way of killing two birds with one stone is the plan under which this country will par Icipate in the world exposition in Bra zil and so use the money for the con- struction of the American building that it can he used thereafter for the American embassy. There is always a large sum involved in the construction of buildings for such fairs, of which there is seldom little returned from the disposition of the property. but in keeping with the policy of acquiring embassies in foreign coun- tries the idea of utilizing such a struc- ture for the proposed purposes gives in dication that the greatest use and value will be obtained from the investment.
 The Brazilian republic is a century old this year and in September it will hold centennial exposition. It is pointed out by those who are endeavoring. to arouse American interest that Brazil has par ticipated in eight expositions in this country, but even if it had not happened to be represented at any the opportunity of the manufacturers and exporters of this country to get before such a South American gathering as that will be the
 
 forms cannot be disregarded.
 South American trade is something ,hat this country has leen anxious to develop. Some Of the efforts that have been put forth have been successful. 9th CTS have been failures and it has been shown that there Is a lack of understand ing regarding the demands of the South American republics. We have been send Ing goods to South America which 1t was later found the people there. did not want. We may well make the most of not only finding out what they want but of show ing what desirable things this country has to offer as a means of getting them interested in our products. It will be in competition with others of course, but this country has no fear of that.
 Thus the best results should follow the plan of participating in this exposition and of so building as to make the Amer can building serve a double purpose and a permanent use.
