PUDDLE UNPOPULAR
Grid Fans do Not Approve of This Method of Calling Out Football Signals.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The huddIc sys- tenn of giving signals is not meeting with great favor in the east For several years it has been a part of western football, many of the lead- ing teams rcsorting to it.
 In the huddlc system, instead of having the eigna called as the teams line up, the side having the ball goes into conference before each play.
 The players collect in a small circle, heats close together, as the play is called. Any player in doubt as 10 the play or who debates the wisdom of uGing such play, has the right to raise the question.
 The claims made in the east that much time is lost through the Use of the huddlc system. This is crron- eous. Check has been kept on inc use Of both systems and there is rt- tie or no difference in the time con- sumed.
 There is no denying. however, that considerable color is taken from the game by eliminating the calling of the signals in favor of the silent huddlc eystem A certain thrill al- ways went with the shouting Of the signals.

Notre Dame's record. The margin in each case being one touchdown.
 Develops Fast Backs
 This year Rockne in an attempt to wipe out those two defeats, has given Nebraska a different spot in the schedule. It is his intention-to to point his eleven for that game.
 While Rockne always has a good line, his strongest forte is the de- vcloping of backfield stars, Re- gardless Of the men lost by Eradua- tion, Rockno year after year bobs up with a sensational backfeld.
 Always willing to take a chance. Rockne gambes with the forward pass more than any other coach in the game, His fleet backs and ends enable him to do it.
 His backfield of this year |. is a veteran combination. most of them starring last season, making it seem Notre Dame will be harder than ever tc stop.

NAVY TEAM INJURED
Badly Crippled Team Will Take the Field Against West Virginia Wes- Ieyan This Saturday.

Annapolis, Md, Oct 22.- A crip- pied Navy eleven will take the field against West Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday. This became known today with the announcement that Lentz, the husky left guard, and Filppen, halfback. have fractures of the nose. Banks, first string back, is afflict- cd in a like manner, and he, too, will be out of the game for some time. Forsberg also remains idle because of injury.
 But perhaps the most serious loss to the team as far as the big game with West Point is concerned, is that of Clyde. He was regular tackle last season, and was trareling a smooth road to land permanent berth again this year. Only recently recovered from broken collar bone sustained in an automobile accident Curing his summer vacation, he got into the lineup against Princeton Saturday, It was reported that his shoulder was badly nurt, but it de- velops that his trouble is a bad knee injury that will keep Him out of play for the balance of the year.

TRACK
 'URTS 'ORSES 'OOFS
This Is Reason Given for Horses
 Getting Hurt

New York, Oct 29,--The flint-like surfaces of some American traces, brought about by mania for speed among turf followers, is ascribed by racing experts as the chief cause of disaster that have hit the ranks of thoroughbred race horses this season with unusual frequency.
 Epinard, great French horse, which practically broke down in his last race at Laurel and will not be seen under colors again, brought the series of 1924 misfortunes to a climax.
 Pierre Wertheimer's famous colt came out of this race with quarter crack in one of his front feet but the causes of this injury are traced by observers to Epinard's racing on the hard surface of the track at Latonia, where he was beaten by Sarazen in the third international special on Oc- tober II. The same surface. it is held, was responsible for the retire. ment of Major August Belmont's lAadkln, Winner or the second speclal. Earlier in the season, in the east, such stars as St. James and Ordi- nance, two of the springs most promising colts, were forced out of the races by ailments for which the conditions of various racks were partially blamed.
 These circumstances, furthermore, experts believe, have dealt damag- ing blow to the prospect of further international turf rivalry, revived last year by Papyrus and enlivened this year by Epinard, Foreign own CTS, it is pointed out, will hesitate 10 send their best here after the bitter experience of Epinard, acclaimed the greatest European racer of the gen. eration.

 Reprisal came out of one of the races so lame that his owner, Frank Kelly, a veteran turfman, was in quandary as to how to dispose of the animal.
 Why don't you sell him?" asked Tommy Mara, noticing the condition of the horse.
 q would if I could find somebody that would part with five cents" said Kelly.
 You've sold a horse" answered Mara. And he gave Kelly a shiny Buffalo nickel and led the animal away.
 Reprisal will go into the records as the cheapest horse that has been sold since Billy Lakeland sold Maxi mo Gomez to Bill Clancy for a clay pipe.

SYRACUSE, PENN AND LAFAYETTE ARE
 APPARENTLY BEST OUTFITS IN EAST
Their Chances of Going Through Season Unde- feated Are Brighter Than Those of Other Elevens.
By The Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 29.-Of the seven major football teams in the east not beaten or tied, Syracuse and either Penn or Lafayette appear to have the best chance of sweeping through the season with clean records.
 Penn State, Pitt and Colgate, each Of whom has been defeated. are the highest hurdles in the lane of the Orange eleven whose fast backfield and strong line seem capable of jumping all.
 Penn, which now leads in games won and points scored and Lafayette the only team whose goal 'has not yet been crossed, meet on NoveHlber 1. Each is favored to win its other contests, Penns strongest opponents will be Virginia, Georgetown and Cornell. Lafayette will take on w.. and J., Rutgers and Lehigh,
 Williams can go confidently on to a clean slate if it defeats Colum- bia next Saturday but the future of Rutgers, w. and J. and Harvard, the unbeaten elevens, and of Yale, Dart mouth, Lehigh and Princeton, with tie games marring their records, is cloudy.
 Rutgers will face Lehigh and La- fayette; W. and J. has Lafayette and West Virginia in it's path and Harvard must win from Dartmouth. Brown, Princeton and Yale.
 Yale has Yet to meet Brown, Army Princeton and Harvard; Dartmouth has Havard and Cornell; Lehigh has Lafayette and Rutgers and Princeton awaits the stormy trio of Notre Dame. Harvard and Yale.
 Syracuse, although Its only im- portant victory so far was the 10-0 triumph over Boston College, is for tified in almost every position with material of championship calibre.
 McBride at fultback is second high point scorer among eastern players and has contributed to his team 8 total by every possible method in every game played this season. Bow man is the Olympic sprinter. He was injured two weeks ago but returned to the game last week. Foley, who led offense against Boston College is one of the most talked of backs of the season and Simmons is a smart quarterback.
 Chick Meehan's linemen rank with the backfield. Waldorf and StTobin at tackles, Fivaz at center, Hanson at end and Bayle at guard are sea- soned performers capable of taking care of themselves in any company. Unless Penn State surpasses it's form shown in the Georgia Tech defeat or Pittsburgh accomplishes another late-season development, the Orange eleven now appears to be the most certain claimant of eastern grid henors this season.,
 The standing of the more import ant eastern elevens, with games won, lost, tied, points scored and oppon- ent's points, including games of last Saturday, follows:-

BOB MARTIN HAS NOW RECOVERED
Former A. E. E. Champion
 Again Wants to Fight

New York, Oct. 22.--Bob Martin wants to come back. Martin is the young Virginia youth who won the heavyweight championship of the A. E. F., turned professional, and en- joyed fair success mingling with sec. ond raters.
 Martin sustained a slight concus- sion of the brain about IS months ago, and was finally forced to retire from the ring. At first Martin sus- pected the trouble centered in his eyes but when treatments designed to better his vision failed the soldier fighter submitted to a thorough ex- animation. It was then reveals1 that he had been injured about the head by some heavy blow received in the ring.
 Martin retired following a pathetic exhibition against Martin Burke in New Orleans, the aftermath of which was an official ruling by Louisiana ring commissioners barring him from future participation in thr ring.
 Martin went back to his home in Virginia, joined the state police as mounted officer and started out tG regain his1 health by activity in thc open air.
 Martin now is of the opinion that he is his old self again and has writ ten Jimmy Bronson, his former man ager, to get him a fight here. Bron son is hoping Martin is all righI again, but will not match him with any one until positively assured bA physicians that the A. F.. F. hero i! fully recovered.
 Martins most noteworthy per formance in the ring was against th' late Bill Brennan. Martin did nO' get the decision but experts wer' unanimous he deserved it.

SEEK COMPROMISE
ON JAP EXCLUSION

Washington.-The first intimation
Of President Coolidges attitude on the
japanese immigration question devel-
Oped when it was announced officially
at the White House that the Presi-
dent is at work on compromise plan
which would be acceptable alike to
the exclusionists and the Japanese.
The President has held several con-
ferences the last few days with Sec
rotary Hughes and Senator Colt, both
of whom are antagonistic to the John
son immigration bill insofar as it alb
rogates the existing 'gentlemen's
agreement" with the Japanese govern
ment.
1t is plain that the way the Pres
ident is ironing out the difficulty will
be beset with obstacles on all sides.
The plan of the President is to so
adjust the matter that the imperial
government will not consider itself
affronted This will be difficult, be-
cause of the overwhelming vote in
both houses of congress for the John
son bill as it now stands.
Progress in effecting compromise
will be accomplished slowly, if at all.
1t is believed that President Cool
idge will endeavor to obtain reconsid-
Grafton of the exclusion clause If
that move fails, it is possible that he
may veto the bill.
