Delay Was Suggested

WASHINGTON. ID. G., Sept. 23.-Navy
department officials said today a mis-
apprehension evidently had developed in
testimony before the naval court Of
inquiry into the Shenandoah disaster
at Lakehurst on the position of Lieut..
Commander Lansdowne in reference to
the time Of making the flight.
These officials declared the dirigible's
commander, in suggesting a date for
the flight, had been actuated by a be-
lief that it would be impossible for the
Shenandoah during the first week Of
September to take in all the state fairs
she had been asked to visit in the mid
dle-west On August a, he suggested
that the flight be made the second in
stead of the first week in September,
saying that thereby additional time
would be gained by preparations at
Scott Fielj Illinois, and Detroit TO re
ceive and land or moor the craft in its
flight.
The department reply pointed out to
him that the state fairs ran for several
on the schedule as ultimately adopted,
days and that by leaving September 2.
most of them could be visited.

Gridiron Strategy
BACKS DEFENSIVE DUTIES
 (BY EDDIE KAW)

Cornell, A!l-America Back, 1922)
 DefensiveIS the halfback has many duties.
 He has to watch the ball always and along with 1t break up line plays and end runs and also guard against forward passes.
 The last seems to be the most difficult for the average back to master. It means quick judgment in diagnosing the play. If 1t Is a pass he has his man or zone to cover, (Always know where your man Is at all times, and never let him get behindyou.) If he does 1t is a sure gain should the pass be timed and thrown accurately.
 Most teams nowadays rely greatly on their forward pass attack. So 1t is absolutely necessary for back to be very alert against the aerial style of play.
 When the opposing team punts there Is always need of a clever, re- liable back to receive the kicks He has a very important part to play. First of all he must be a sure ball catcher.
 Hence any back aiming to play this position should practice catch. ing all kinds of punts and train himself to keep his eye on the ball not the opposing men coming dowr to make the tackle, and make the catch certain.
 After the ball is safely tucked away, then it is time enough tt think of the runback. Too man, backs, not excluding experienced Dlen, start to run before they hay, the ball securely in their hands. Tn, result is generally a tumble, and on or the opposition recovers the ball ktep your eyes on the baif and for get the tacklers until you have i safely secure in your possession.
 Summing up, a backfeld ma, must be alert, quick thinking, fairl last tof course the faster the bet 'er}, shifty and, above all, 6 fighte at all stages of the game.
 Most of these above qualification can be attained with the right in struction and training in high an prep schools, thus preparing in boys for r-cellegiate football.
