Head Football Coach, University
Of illinois. The man who has caused
the illinois team to be known
throughout the country as 1.-THE
Fighting Him."
The stiff-arm is a partially locked
elbow and arm extended to ward off
a would-be tackler. The stiff or
straight arm is successfully used de-
fensively rather than aggressively.
The runner must allow the tackler
to throw his weight at the extended
arm in such way as not to bend the
elbow, or cause break in the
straight line of the arm. If properly
executed, the runner will be driven
away from the tackler by that ath-
lete's own force and the runners legs
will remain out of reach. The run
ner who jabs with the straight arm
is not using it properly. A good
tackler will make him miss or break
down the jabbing arm because it is
apt to be bent too much at the time
of impact. If the runner extends his
arm too soon an alert tackler may
grab it and severely twist the shoul-
der. Therefore, keep your intentions
to yourself until the last moment and
then use the stiff arm to ward off
rather than to knock down with.

Hope Americans

Paris, Oct. Is "a. =. by MaiD-
French Olympic officials are greatly
chagrined over the report from New
York that the United States will not
participate in the Olympic Rugby
competition. While unwilling to dis
cuss the circumstances leading ii
such a decision on the part of the
American Olympic Committee, men,
bers of the French Organizing Gem
mittee express hope that the United
states will be there with a Rugby
team at the finals.
Ihey~ realize. that American Rugby
Is quite dlfferent from the European

ana second because we feel that the

would not be the case for Rugby

general secretary of the French Com

I'VE earnestly desire also that

sively British sport, but a game of
worlds expansion" Reichel went on.
The friendship and admiration
which we feel toward American ath-
letics lead us to believe that. in no
matter what sport they choose to
compete. their methods and the class
of their athletes would bring bene-

however. that Scott will not be able

backfield men who will start the game

| Fast COburn Team
Wallops Colby 3rd
| to Tune of 27-O

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Nov. 2-The fast CO.
burn Classical Institute football ag-
gregation whitewashed the Colby
third team this afternoon on Libby
field to the tune Of $40. The college
third string men were no match for
their heavier and more experienced
rivals and the maroon team ran wild
with them.
Shanahan was the big gun for the
Coburn team, scoring every one OF
the four touchdowns for the maroon.
Western kicked three goals after
touchdowns to make the total of q
points. Khorey, left half for Coburn
smashed his way through the college
at a time and on the defense was a
stone WALL.
Coburn scored the first touchdown
in the first part of the Initial period
on a trick play that worked like a
charm. Western placed the bail ready
for fake placement kick when
Shanahan grabbed the oval and dart
ed through tie Colby team for the first
counter. Western took te ball in the
same period for gain of SO yards
through right tackle before he was
brought to earth by Whelpley on the
five yard line. A moment later Shana-
han received a pretty pass from
Western over the goal line for the
second counter.
The local prep school aggregation
pulled off another touchdown in the
second period by straight line buck
ing that had plenty of power and the
maroon backs tore through the line
for great gains. The final scoring
was done in the last period on a trick
play with Shanahan doing his usual
clever stuff and crossing the line
after a run through the center of the
college boys line for Is yards.
Only once were the college outfit
within scoring distance and then
they lost the ball on downs to Coburn
after two aerial passes were ground
ed. The team marched down the field
and. could not be stopped until they
reached the 10yard line. Coburn un-
corked some clever passes and COM
pleted several for substantial gains
while the college men weer unable to
complete even one try.
