CHICAGO. September 21 OP.-Ad-
vancing a wholesale defense Of West

criticisms Of its detractors, Maj. John
L. Griffith, Big Ten" commissioner
of athletics, predicted that foot ball
will endure SO long as there are young
Americans who like a fight
More people-a million and half

the universities are accommodating
the ever-growing horde of foot ball
hungry fans.
1.-The season Of 1925 should witness
foot balls greatest triumph" he said.
THE game is better established than
ever before, 1t satisfies the fighting
instinct appeal that is in all Of us.
and every one knows that every boy
on the team when the game is being
played gives the best that is in him.
1.-The Western Conference will dis
play a brand of foot ball at least the
equal of that of any other group of
colleges In America. The Middle West
Is rich in boy power and it would be
difficult to find anywhere in the world
a finer group of young men than the
900 candidates who have registered
for foot ball trial in the Western Con
ference colleges.
"Since the war seven of the con-
ference colleges have erected new
stadiums and the three others are
planning new play fields which will be
completed shortly. The stadiums al
ready constructed are inadequate for
the accommodation of all who would
witness some of the so-called big
games. However, the public will be
better cared for this year than ever
before"

Incidentally, il might be mentioned
that Washington and Lee is not shun-

would appeal to them as being about
as reasonable as the other. And the

their second is going to be far from

by some of those in close touch with
the situation that the South Carolina
school has a. good chance TO beat
Washington and Lee.
So successful have the open prac-
tees been at West Point that Coach
McEwan is much more optimistic
about the possibilities of the Army
eleven than he was at the beginning
of September. He is reported to have
expressed the opinion that the Army
stood a much better chance of having
a strong team than he al first con-
Sidered possible
Bill Alexander, coach of Georgia
Tech, is another man very optimistic
about the possibilities of his team. He
does not hesitate TO Say that his
aggregation will be much better than
it was a year ago, and in 1924 it de
feated Penn State.

bilities of their running attack
This is the more interesting mas
much as 1t was in the West that
the air attack was first made a
primary method of advancing the ball.
Perhaps the success of shift plays is
the answer. They are effective-and
safer.
DR.. Wilce holds with all students
of the game that the forward pass,
perfectly executed. Is unstoppable,
but perfection is infrequently achieved
and, besides. the scheme of defense
against it SO noteworthy applied by
Illinois and Chicago of so restricting
the pass as to conflne it to short gains,
if any, has added to the risks Of
the play.
Deception versus power are the
two cardinal differences in offensive
foot ball, says DR.. Wilce. and which
to use seems to him not so much
matter of theory as to the sort
of material that is available. The
defense, he believes. has fallen short
of the advance made by modern Of
fense This can. be adjusted. he
thinks. by a deeper study of the mega

This is the case at Ohio State and,

not highly regarded and that hours

spent upon it. But it is to say that
the tendency is growing to reserve

WHEN BLOCKING KICKS.

Rush directly in front of the kick
er's foot and leap high with arms ex-
tended above the head in order to
block a kick. The leap and the ex-
tended arms will block many kicks
that are over the head. 1t is impor-
tant that the arms be crossed in front
Of the face and not extended straight
up on either side of the head. The
correct way protects the face of the
player. Otherwise, a kicked ball may
strike him in the face. All players
instinctively shy from being struck
in the face by a kicked ball. Once
one is struck in the face by one he Is
ever afterward so shy that he will not

ARRANGEMENTS for our matches two
or three rounds in advance, assuming
that we are coming through.
One prominent sportswoman of our

dirt to be cleaned off her shoes just
before an important match, and she
always plays through an event In the
same costume in which she won her

she's quite comfortable in what she

why change?
Recently, a local newspaper re-
uuested a group picture Of certain

ably figure in the world series, but
the manager declined with regret,
saving that he never allowed his team
to be taken as a group until II had
clinched its pennant. Surely no
one would accuse these fun grown
men of being a prey to superstition
but there's an unwritten law among
ball PLAYERS about previous photo
graphs, which no one seems to care
about ignoring.
Personally, we know that there is
nothing in this sign stuff. Neverthe-
less, all too recently we broke mir
ror lust before entering a final ten

ing to do with subsequent events, but

a postponement of several days. Then.
il rained during the match when 1t

important racket strings, and, on top
of that, darkness descended before
the event was completed, making an
other postponement necessary. To
cap the climax, after leading. less
than two games from the title, we
had an unaccountable slump and saw
the crown slip from our grasp and
rest firmly upon tho head OF our
worthy opponents whom we had twice
yanuushed in former Journeys.

raj for that awful little word-but
