MCINNIS IS SELECTED
 MANAGER OF PHILLIPS
Former Member of Macll's S1OO,OO0 Inficld to Return to the
 Quaker City.

Philadelphia. Oct. 22 Pl-John P. "Stuffy' McInnis, former mem- Der of Connie Mack's s100,O00 in- field, is to return to this city next season as manager of the Philadel- phia Nationals, he succeeds Arthur Fletcher, who was released on We'd tuesday by President William F. Baker.
 In announcing that McInnis had been given a two year contract as player-manager President Baker said he would have a free hand in running the club and would be given all possible cooperation in building up a winning team.
 He needs a new third baseman and two good pitchers" said Mir. Baker. With these new men he believes he would have enough to make a good start"
 McInnis who is 3" years old was signed when a free agent. having been unconditionally released by the Pittsburgh Pirates shortly before the close of the season. He has been a major league player since 1909, when he went with the Athletics from the Gloucester. Mass, high school, but has had no managerial experience.

Thayer, Present Star End, Is Third Generation of Thayers to Become Foot ball Hero at This Uni- versity McGonigle of Yale Is Sharpe's Nephew

New York, Oct. 22.-(P- When Pennsylvania needs a star it sends out a hurry call to the alumni and new hero appears on the Red and Blue campus.

EASTERN ELEVENS SPEEDING
 UP REMARKABLY THIS YEAR
Players Also Developing Uncanny Skill in Adding the Extra Point After TouchdOwn-Field Goal kickers Prominent.

New York, Oct 22 P1Cleated feet of eastern gridiron warriors are more than measuring up this year to the increased demand for speed and skill imposed by the rule re- quiring points after touchdown to be made from scrimmage.
 A review of the college games played thus far shows that ap- proximately four out of every five chances to add the extra point are being accepted. Eighty-flve out of a possible 10s points in major con- tests of the Eaet were scored last Saturday.
 The placement kick has been all most unanimously retained as the surest point-making medium after touchdown. records revealing that are willing to risk the attempt to drop-kicks, running with or pass ing Of the ball. The chief excep- tions are Navy and Fordham which have been placing dependence for their points from touchdown in Hamilton and Graham, respectively, both drop-kickers.
 Several of the leading placement kickers have only one miss to their credit, with Wilson of Army, Carr of Syracuse. Strong of N. Y. L.. Madden of Columbia, Wascolonis of Pennsylvania, Shaughnessy of Col gate and Carey of Cornell topping the field for accuracy.
 Carr has sent the spinning pigskin across the bar in eleven out of twelve chances while Wascolonis, Wilson and Madden all have ten to their credit
 While this change in the rules apparently has had the effect of developing field goal kickers of un- usual prif1ciency. the march for touchdoTns has been so uniformly successful as to bring very few points from field goals thus far.
 Of 27 leading eastern elevens, only seven have scored by this method. The Middies have made good use of the clever toe of Hamilton. who leads the East with four successful drop-kicks to his credit.

PENN ALUMNI BODY SENDS
 GRID STARS OUT REGULARLY
CASSIDY SWITCHES
 HIGH SCHOOL GAME
Played Today So He and Team
 Can See Yale-BrOWl

Coach George M. Cassidy, who seemed to make it a hibit during the baseball and basketball seasons last year to freqquently postpone, cancel, or move back the date of high school games the last minute after followers of the team had been expecting to see the game on a cer- tain date, came through like the Gas" of old yesterday when he an- Inounced that the game with Col Iegiate Preparatory scheduled for Saturday would be played Friday.
 The change, like many others he has made in years gone by, was made without any sensible last minute reason" according to many members of the alumni. He sud- denly took it into his head to change the date of the game so the boys could take in the Brown Yale game in New Haven tom orrow. However, the Brown-Gale game has been scheduled for October 23 since last year. Still. possibly Cassidy only heard of it yesterday.
 Of course. it's nice for the coach and team to attend Yale games on Saturday afternoons. His attention might be called to the fact that Yale and Harvard play on November 20, the same date that Hartford and New Britain is scheduled. No doubt some members of the squad might like to see that game. Probably the ach himself would enjoy it. Why don't he try to advance that game? Let him try it.
 Anyway-admission to the Yale Harvard game is by ticket only and tickets tot this game are five bucks each. Having a boy scout with you is not sufficient for admission.
 The management of the high school team cannot kick on the at tendance at the school games if 1t continues to give notice of a game one date and plays the game on an- other.

SOUTH CHURCH WORKS OUT

The first work out of the South church basketball team was held last evening at the Boys club. Only ten candidates appeared, but about this many more are expected to be in ac- ton within another week or two and the outlook for the team is bright. Another of last years men has been lost in Jack Wuks, who is shortly leaving the city for the winter. An unexpected addition however, is Cor don Prescott, who jumped center three years ago but has been out for two years with a badly injured foot; he Is now in shape and will battle Cooley. Vessels and Rockwell for the center position. The next practice will be held next Thursday.

WHAT IS BABE RUTH
 WORTH? ALL HE CAN GET
Just Compare Him With Some of the Other Athletic
 ChamDiOuS
Champions.
How much is Babe Ruth worth

How much is Babe Ruth worth answer that question to the Babes satisfaction before spring rolls around.
 Ruth received s52,o00 for his services during the season just clos ed. He is paid in weekly installments of $1O00, extending over the entire year.
 The idea is to keep Ruth in spending money. If the Babe re- ccivcd 5000 per week during the season. as any other ball player hav- ing q S52.00 contract would. he probably would be broke about a week after the season ended.
 Money was made to be spent that is the theory the Babe works on. and so far he has successfully carried out his thoughts on frenzied finance.
 Ruth has let it be known that he intends to ask for S150,0O0 for 1927. That seems like q lot of money, but Babe holds he is worth every cent of it.
 During his American league career he has made about ten mil lions for the club owners. Babe is likely to get the $150,000 if he sticks.
 Jack Dempsey got close to a half million for 30 minutes battling with Gene Tunney. That figure makes a mere matter of $15O.OO0 seem not so much for playing 154 ball games.
 Ruth is q bigger baseball attrac- tion than Dempsey ever was as a fighter, and he packs 'em in daily.

WESTERN CONFERENCE
 TEAMS READY TO GO
Debut of Ohio State Eleven One of Major Events of
 Week-End

Chicago, Oct 22 P-Four west ern conference football teams camn. ed today at the gates of their op- ponents in tomorrow's second round Of the Big Ten title battle, while two others braced against invasion from outside the conference circle.
 A goodly share of the mid-west's interest in the encounters trailed Iowa to the Ohio State stadium. where will be made the 1926 Big Ten debut of the Ohio eleven that swept Columbia off It's feet at New York week ago.
 The happily varied attack of the Buckeyes made an suspicious east ern bow, and, with the conference race still anybody's much attention centered on it's fortune against an Iowa game regarded as highly dan gerous despite first downfall at the hands of Illinois.
 Illinois treked to Michigan for the big game of the day with 35 men in the squad which Zuppke will hurl against Michigan in the game where the score is regarded as the hand- writing on the wall so far as the '26 championship is concerned Yost professed pessimism and dependence on "a lot of green boys" but the Wolverines are favored 10 win.
 A wary Stagg kept his own coun- sel at Chicago. where his Maroons, decisively downed by Pennsylvania, are given less chance than Purdue, spurred by an altogether unexpect- ed showing in playing q scoreless tie with Wisconsin. The game marks the first conference game of the fall for Chicago, so far engaged in a trio of inter sectional tilts.

The proper grip is most important in huring a forward pass. Why not compare the movements of a forward pass to those used in swinging a golf club? The same primary essentials are discovered in both.
 A nasty survey reveals that each first must have the proper grip; perfect execution and timing of the swing Of the arms; at the exact moment snap of the wrist and the follow through. Then n order to secure those few precious yards of additional distance other bodily forces must be co-ordinated with the muscles of the arms. But first, let us eX- anime the grip.
 Unless player has exceptionally short and stubby hands I never ad- wise the ball to be thrown while resting loosely within the fingers. A firm grip as in golf is desired. Let me try to analyze the position, of the ball in my hand.
 My fingers cover the lacing with the first joints extending beyond. My second finger covers the last lace toward the heel. my thumb is further towards the heel, passing over the seam on the side. In this manner the ball is so balanced that the long axis is inclined slightly to- ward the toe of the ball.
 So much for the grip. Now for the swing of the arm. Watch my hand as the ball is brought direct ly over my shoulder. For a longer pass, more impetus is, of course, required.
 The ball is started from posi- ton further in back of the body. The lacings of it are on the out side. Now the ball begins to travel in an arc and as it does my wrist is snapped over and down as the ball leaves my hand. This motion insures a spiral.
 Important as the follow through is in golf. just as vital to sue ccssful pass is the follow through of the throw.
 This can be accomplished by continuing the swing of the arm through until the hand is pointed directly at the receiver of the pass.
 The ball should leave the hand f0lInWinp ha arc. If it is thrown too high il easily is covered by the secondary defense.
 And yet, on the other hand, if sent on a straight line with much speed it is difficult for the receiver to handle.
 The grip described has certain advantages over ball thrown loosely. When gripped. more ac- curatc direction is afforded. A wet ball can be equally as well handled
 And by gripping the ball what we call authority" can be gained That is, the ball seems to follow o definite fixed route as if ordered, 1t does not float as one loosely hurled.
 The ball leaves the hand just as It begin its downward path on the arc The throw is very similar to the peg that a catcher uses when throwing to second. directly over hand' never sidcarm In this man. her it is not easily blocked by the ihcharslng linemcn, thereby spoil ing the play.

Hard on Experts

A perusaI of the bootball scores from the other sections Of the country reveals much the same condition that l have shown exist cd in the cast.
 In some instances, heavy fav- orites were beaten. While there were only a few such upscts, many of the underdogs managed to score on their more famous rivals.
 Unquestionably the forward pass has created the wider scope for scoring that now exists.
 The pass no longer is q mere threat, but q dangerous weapon. Incidentally, the fear of 1t makes conditions better for d running at tack.
 No sport can thrive that lacks uncertainty, The pass has made football a tough game to figure. No longer can the experts dope out the winners and show a good per ccntage.
