FOOT BALL SECRETS
When Thrown to the Ground.
I SOL METZGE

The elimination of injury has long
been a subject Of deep study in foot
ball. The star who is continually
hurt Is Of little use. Team play is
impossible II such a player is almost
continually out Of the lineup. One
cause of injury, and of serious injury
at that, has been instructive habit.
1nVoluntarilY, a man Will put out his
arm to catch himself when he falls.
In foot ball this does not pay. The
writer saw one good halfback do it
and break his arm as result. You
see in a game Of this kind where
every opponent Is trying to stop the
runner he is likely to be tackled by
more than one player at a time.
Often. while being thrown by the
first tackler, a second or third will
be driving at him. Thus, II he put
forth his free arm to break his fall
when he is tackled another player
may strike that arm as it comes into
contact with the ground. Such "a
blow will severely wrench or even
break the arm.
When tackled grasp the ball with
your free hand as you fall, as in the
first illustration Take a look at the
second illustration and try to imagine
what would happen to this players
arm if another tackler happened to
strike 1t with his body hurling
through the air in the direction Of the
arrow. You cannot protect yourself
from a collision with the ground In
foot ball by using your arm to soften
the blow. You can break your arm
in the attempt. Learn to hold the
ball with both arms as you are
tackled and to fall on the ball when
1T is possible to do SO. In other
words, use the ball as your cushion.
1t will tighten many hard encounter
with the field
Evening star., 1925-10-02

OF course. that made 1t easier for US
and harder for the Giants. McGraw's
club had the whole league fighting
its hardest against 1t, just as we will
have next season. and among base
ball men there is nothing but praise
for the game battle the Giants put UP
almost to the last.
Fans outside of Pittsburgh. and even
many in our own city. cannot imagine
how gratifled We felt when We had
finally clinched the pennant 1t was
as though dream had Unexpectedly
come true. We had been chasing the
nag SO long and 1t had eluded US with
such regularity that oftentimes my
players felt as though it was all
hopeless job.
On the day we clinched the pennant
by beating Philadelphia, to l, while
the Cards were beating the Giants in
a double-header, you'd have thought
our team was bunch Of college boys
celebrating the biggest foot ball VIC
tory of the year. They trouped in
the dressing room like a lot of kids
laughing and singing. Then President
Heydler of the National League step
ped In to congratulate US, and all the
while there was throng Of fans, who
had stuck to us during our ups and
downs all season, stampeding around
and wish us luck in the world series
The next day the Giants came to
Forbes Field to play three games, and
two of my players tackled crepe on the
visitors bench. The New York play
ers took the joke in good fun, allow
ing the mark of mourning to remain
all through the batting practice
StuInped by Question.
Tell me how you beat out the
Giants" was one Of the first questions
l had put to me by sports writer
when the race was over, and to save
my lefe. l couldn't give that fellow
a very intelligent answer.
AS matter of fact, we never did
aim to beat out the Giants. We simply
went out at the start Of the season
with the idea of beating them all out,
and the New Workers just happened
to be in with the rest. OF course,
when the race narrowed down to New
York. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, with
the last-named an outside chance, we
concentrated most of our thoughts on
the McGrawmen. but even then we
planned no extraordinary strategy;
each man just gave his best, which
proved to be good enough to win.

COMPARED TO SMOKING

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 2.-The ex.
penditure of about SlO,O0O, 900 this
year on foot ball by the American
people was cOntrasted yesterday
by Maj. John l.. Griffith, Big Ten
athletic commissioner, with the
annual cigarette bill Of over five
hundred million dollars.
"Ten millions for foot ball." said
Mai. Griffith. IN Il speech to the
Illim Club of Chicago, rs not an
alarming figure VIXEN we remem-
ber that each year we spend six
hundred millions for soft drinks
and Ice cream, five hundred and
ten millions for cigars and fifty
millions for chewing gum. This
expense Is not only for the build

ings and equipment for the half
million or more boys who play
foot ball, but also for the three or
four million more who are provided
playing facilities.

Not again will there be any effort
to arrange a "chaElpionship" contest
at Pasadena. The new scheme is to
invite worthy representative of
sridiron play in some other section
of the Country-the Middle West. the
East or the South-to meet some
creditahle representative of the Coast
Conference, not necessarily the team
which has won the championship Of
this conference.
Will Select Rival Teams.
The Coast eleven that will meet
the team from some other section VIII
be selected by committee of the
conference organized for this pur-
pose and the outfits will differ year
after year.
AS to the visitors the only stipula-
ton is that it be one of the leading
elevens of its section and that the
athletic ideals and standards corre-
spond to those in the Coast Confer
ence.
The agreement between the tourna-
ment of roses crowd and the con-
ference is mighty interesting, in as
much as it reveals the complete tri-
umph of pure college sport over the
pure commercialism. In this con-
nection it might be stated that Ore
gon received only $4,000 for playing
Harvard. All this has been changed.
Under the agreement dated May 25
this year the conference will have
complete charge of foot ball games
at the tournament of roses from 1925
to 1887, inclusive.
The delegate manager to run the
game will be named by the confer
ence. The tournament of roses shall
turn over it's stadium to the uni
versity selected to meet the visiting
eleven.
After the investment on the stadium
is paid for the tournament of roses
company will receive only 20 per cent
of the receipts. But until this Is clear
ed the tournament people will receive
a sliding payment based upon receipts.
Perhaps one of the impelling mo-
tives in the turning over of the foot
ball feature to the collegians was the
fact that in spite Of all the paying
games that had been held at Pasadena
1t was felt-at least so runs the the
ory-that the investment was not be-
ing paid off as scientifically as 1t will
be under the new arrangements.
Restricted as to Expenses.
In the agreement is a stipulation as
to how much shall be expended upon
the carnival feature of the day, the
tournament. The stipulated sum Is
$4,000. and the sum that shall be de-
voted to upkeep also is named. All
receipts over and above these two
items shall so to pay off the invest
ment.

ence, nothing can be said now. STAN
