Colegians Taking
Rapidly to Ring
Activities

Collegians gradually are drift
ing into the boxing game. Sully
Montgomery, Texas heavyweight,
who gained fame as q football
players at Centre College, is the
leading collegian in the ring
at present. One of the latest
to break in is Artie Dufort, of
Montreal, a graduate of Nc
Gill University. Dufort is a
lightweight and q good one,
though he has had but three
professional BOUTS
Dufort wente from Montreal
to box q four-rounder at the
Rockaway Beach arena recently.
He stopped Willie Hahn in the
second round. It cost Artie
more to make the trip than he
got for his purse. Artie didn't
mind. He is well fixed and is
one of the few who is in the
game more for the sport than
for the money.

Eight Out of Ten Think Cham
pions Can't Repeat
in Series

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Out Of
eight members OF the Giants asked
to dope the winner Of the coming
world series, six thought that Pitts
burg would win In walk. Two
picked Washington.
"A ball club that plays as steady
as the Senators have this season, I"
declared one Of the Giants. will
play as steady in a big series.
Moreover, they have been through
the experience. The Pirates have
not. The class. always tells when
1t comes to a showdown and ex-
perience gives class. I admit that
on natural ability thu Pirates are
faster mad can hit harder. This
season, though, have seen them
get flustered in a big series. They
are likely to do so against Wash
ington. Harris club plays hard
boiled baseball. Make no mistake
about that"
Don't you think" asked another
player, that the Giants were a bet
ter ball club last fall. even though
they lost the decision"
II do" admitted the other side
Of the argument, land SO does
every other baseball man. We
were outlucked, that's ALL"
"Well, to my way of thinking"
the Pittsburgh adherent proceeded,
1.-The Pirates are in better shape
right now than we were last fall.
It isn't, likely that they will have
as bad luck as the Giants. To my
way of thinking they will run
away from the Senators-on the
offensive. I mean. There Is no
club faster than the Senators on
the defensive. I'll lay you a bet
right now that Washington will
make more double plays than the
Pirates. And, at that. 1 think the
Pirates will win"
Veterans of the game agree that
Bucky Harris and Roger Peckin-
paugh form the fastest defensive
combination around second base Of
any pair in the game. 1t is not
that Peckinpaugh is so naturally
fast, but he is so familiar with
the mechanisms of the position
that he makes the plays almost
automatically.

GRID COACHING
IDEAS DIFFER
WIDELY
~ EsEE~
Rockne and Sutherland Best
Examples of Varied
Styles

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Great
football coaches have different ideas
of developing a winning team.
This was the consensus of opinion
here recently by several football
players, experts and writer's who
were discussing the coming football
season.
The fundamentals of the game, IT
was agreed, must be followed bv
every coach, but after this. each
coach has a treatment of his men
all his own.
For instance, Faid a football ex-
pert. take Knute Rockne, the ia.
mcua Notre Dame coach, and Doc.
tor Jack" Sutherland, Of the Un.-
ve-sity of Pittsburgh, both are
recognized as topnotchers in coach
ing on the gridiron. These two
coaches differ greatly in their
methods of making a winning team.
Rockne believes that his men
should devote their entire attention
to football when practicing, de-
clared the gridiron expert. How.
ever, after the workouts, Rocknc
wants his men to be carefree-ro
sing, romp around like "two-year-
olds." The more merriment the
better Rockne is satisfied.
ITO go through a successful foot
bail season." declared the developer
Of the Four Horsemen, according to
one of Rockne's friends, "a team
should have several comedians, so
the squad is always in the best of
hunor. If my team is not singing,
laughing or horse-playing in the
showers after practices and games
/ think there is something radically
wrong with a squad and a defea:
is forthcoming"
/ Doctor Sutherland does not favor
horse playing at any time, desclares
one who knows the Pitt coach's
methods and who was once under
his tutelage. This tall, reticent
Scotchman, who never played foot
ball until he entered the freshman
Glars of the University of Pitts
burgh, takes football as seriously
as his faculty duties in the Pitts
burgh dental school and wants his
men to consider the game in the
same light.

In First

The announcement made by
Joie Ray to the effect that he
soon will retire from the cinder
path game to take up the game
Of professional boxing brings to
mind a story which always
bears up under repeated feelings.
Two years ago Ray expressed
disappointment at not having
been able to keep a boxing en-
gagement .(amateur) owing to q
conflict with a set of track
games.
"They sent a substitute in
my place, and he knocked his
man out in the second round,"
said Ray. 'Well, wasn't that

tured. Eyes; but I'd have
knocked him out in the first

After trudging about q golf

not accustomed to that sOrt of

plain Of being tired. There was
one member of the champion
ship gallery last week who had

who lives near the course, has
been watching the play from

WINNING I OSS
CARRIES new
PRIVILEGE
Receiving Kickoff One Of
Rights That Will Proba-
BILE Be Exercised

One Of the changes in the football
rules gives to the winner OF the toss
the option Of receiving the kickoff
as well as of selecting either goal
or making the kickoff. Last year
the rule stated that the winner Of
the toss shall have the choice of
goal or kickoff. which choice shall
not be revokable.'' This year the
winner of the toss also may elect
to receive the kickoff, and the
chances are that this will be done
in a tremendous number Of cases.
To the man in the stands the word
ing Of this new rule on the toss il
rather hard to understand. 1t states
that the captain who wins the toss
has four choices-he may pick the
east goal, he may select the west
goal, he may decide to kick off, or
he may elect to receive the kickoff.
But once he has made his Sc
lection all the other choices are
open to the other side. In other
words. if Yale wins the toss and
decides to receive the kickoff, Har-
ward may have the choice of goals,
and, naturally, will kick with the
wind.
Last year, with the kickoff at
midfield, it was an advantage to re-
ceive the ball, as it invariably was
booted over the line for a touch
back and put into play on the 20
yard line. But this year the rule
has been changed and the, kickoff
has been put back at the 40-yard
line.
But with all that 1T still will be
an advantage, in most cases, to re-
ceive the kickoff, as that gives the
team a chance to test the other
eleven's defenses right off the reel
and oil I'D it's own attack
