YALE To- HONOR
MEMORY Of
DR.. BULL
Famous Backfield Coach
Created Own Niche In
Football World

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. IL
Plans for the memorial exercises
which will be held for Doctor VIII
liam Tillinghast Bull, the old Yale
backfield coach, who died Of tuber-
culosis in Asheville on Saturday,
will be announced today. His funeral
will be attended by Yale men both
of athletic ana general prominence.
Bull created a role which, like
that originated by Percy Haughton,
revolutionized the game of football.
He was the first drop kicker to con-
sistently win games by lifting the
ball over the crossbar. He has
developed all OF Yale's toe special
lists in thirty-fiye years or since
he won the 1887 Yale Princeton
game, which made intercollegiate
history, by hosting over the bars
the two goals which formed the
only scores of the competition.
As modern rules Of football framed
by Walter Camp had been put into
effect in 1888, drop kicking was
crystallized by Bull as a scoring
speciality, and. by his clevernees,
demonstrated as. a means Of win
ming games when the elevens were
otherwise equally matched.
Bulls career Of drop. kicking
gave Yale several of its most stub.
bornly fought games from 1884 to
1888, and he Immediately offered
his services as coaching in every
department of the kicking game.
He never ceased to train Yale
backfields in this department -of
play, and every Yale drop kicker,
from Lee McClung, who succeeded
him in 1889, to Malcolm Aldrich In
1922 has been the direct product
Of Bulls training.
Such stars as Vance Mccormick.
Frank Butterworth, Billy Fincke.
AL Sharpe, Ledyard Mitchell, Har-
old Metcalf, George Chadwick, Ted
Coy, Steven Philbin, Fred DAILY.
Arthur Howe, Harry Legore and
Jim Braden were drilled and per-
fected by him.
Other universities copied Bulls
drop kicking schemes as they fol-
lowed Percy Haughton's footsteps
in developing general football
strategy. Bull also coached at West
Point and the Carlisle School. lie

raTal station during the world war.

have placed their refusal on high
Ilgrounds Of principle, declaring that
1t is unfair and improper to deprive
"a. first class student of any rights
enjoyed by any other cadet.
The view at the Naval Academy
Is that fairness dictates that the
Military Academy should have 4
similar regulation on the subject
as the Naval Academy and other
Institutions which the Army teams
meet in athletic competition. How
ever 1t is believed that the Army
receives little permanent benefit

1t is also believed here that the
officials of the Military Academy

whole point of the question.
1t was stated in. this circular

That is the situation in which
Central finds itself today. II Western
is defeated, Tech win be the only
school with an unstained record.
Business, the team which is Turk
ing ip the off,ng for Tech, will not
be dangerous, and Tech will have
four games won.
Western can tie with Tech by
winning today, but that will have
to be done over Centrars dead body.
There have been times when Cen
trails lifeless corpse was a thing
of rarity. Just now. though, the
Blue and White is in for a season

the life out Of the team without
much trouble.
Mike Kelly has much better
material now than he had nj the

From a sheer reckoning on paper
Western should win, but by a very
small margin. The teams seem
rather evenly matched. and II
Western cannot score, the game
should be a scoreless tie, always
noting a Central ''if."
The value Of teamwork should
be amply illustrated. Western has
been playing most Of it's men all

in the line who have not been
working with the team in its early
games. Westerns cohesivenese
may tell the tale. Coach Ahearr

former pro at Bob-o-Links, shat
tered every vestage Of the record
for the Greenbrier golf course
when he negotiated the eighteen
holes in Sc, a score that is 6 below

fair, was the only one where Mac
Donald failed to get in in par. He
was on the green in one but he
took three puts to get down.
On all other holes, Bob either
got par or better. He was out

Although this is the fourth year

such as piled up in The recent. zIar-
vard-Princeton football game.
The reason that so many city
folks are interested in the activi-
ties Of the Webster girls is due to
the fact that their school is the only
private institution in the city which
encourages competition with the
many athletic club teams OF Wash

grateful for the broad policy insti-

II strengthens the aims of the other

Urban Shocker classes with the
best veteran pitchers in the
American League, yet he has
been unable to win a pennant for
the Browns all by himself.
Marty McManus, still a young
ster, has promise of developing
into one of the best second-sack-
ers in major league baseball.
Ken Williams is a hard hitter
Of the slugger variety and a fair
outfielder.
Pat Collins is a bulky second
string catcher used generally as
a pinch hitter. He has complained
bitterly more than once because
Hank SEVERED did all the catch
ing, leaving him to grow fat on
the bench.
Shocker's reputation is not of
the best. He has been fined and
suspended more than once by the
Browns for attractions of the
training rules. During the recent
world series he travelled with the
Griffs back and forth to New
York and it was then rumored
that he wanted to join the Griff-
men. However, there seems small
opportunity for him to come here,
not because of his alleged repu-
tation as that the St. Louis club
would demand players Bucky Har-
ris would not use in a trade.
McManus is said to have asked
to be traded. He is dissatisfied
with his surroundings in st.
Louis and would relish a trade
sending him to Detroit. Among
other things, Marty is said to
think himself underpaid, a situa-
ton naturally interfering with his
work.
Like McManus, Williams is said
to be dissatisfied with his sur
roundings. He is hard worker,
always doing his best, and might
develop rapidly if with a more
congenial club.
Collins may have grounds for
his crouch, but he would probably
be allowed to slip out of fast
company if placed on the auction
block. He does not rank with the
others.
The point in all this is that St.
Louis, disappointed with the fail
ure of the Browns, has demanded
changes. What the fans want
they generally get, in one way or
another. It was rumored for q
while last month that Sisler was
to lose his managerial berth, but
Phil Ball killed that tale with the
announcement that Sisler had
already signed for 1925 and would
be supported in every way by
the club owner in building up the
Browns. The building up" proc
ess is expected to bring many
changes in the teams roster.
Here's a Dirty Dig.
