MEANS DOWNFALL
MAKES COLORADO
MORE DOUBTFUL
Democrats Confident They
Will Elect Ex-Governor
As Senator.

DENVER, Sept. 17.-Colorado is
more than ever a doubtful State as
result of the defeat of Senator
Rice w. Means in the primary Tues
day.
Democrats are confident today they
will elect former Governor William
e. Sweet to the Senate. Charles w.
Waterman's victory over Means
leaves the Republican Organization
in the State too badly divided to re-
pair before November, the Demo
Gratis think.
Waterman, conservative, attorney
for the beet sugar interests, prob
ably has Democratic votes to thank
for his nomination but he won't get
those same votes on election day.
Under the Colorado primary law
each voter is given ballots of both
parties and may vote which ever
one he chooses. Democrats oppos-
ing the Khan voted Republican ball
lots In large numbers in order to
defeat Means, the only candidate
charged with membership in the
Khan.
Strong Candidate
Sweet is recognized as a strong
candidate. While he is a banker.
his greatest strength always has
been with the progressive and labor
elements in Colorado politics.
The Republican split Of which he
may expect to take advantage, is
real one. At the same time the
voters smashed the Khan pretensions
in the State, they put an end to the
domination Of the Phipps faction In
the Republican party. Senator
Phipps not only supported Means
withs everything he had, but cam
paigned vigorously for. Prohibition
Administrator John Vivian for the
gubernatorial nomination. Vivian
was badly defeat<l.
State Chairman Victorious
Phipps is not likely to take the
present situation pleasantly. He
properly attributes Tuesdays re-
pudiation in large part to John
Hamon, Republican State chairman,
a. bitter opponent of the Khan. Nom
nation of lannon's candidates for
Senator and governor. put Hamon in
control for the time being. but
Phipps cannot afford to leave it
there. His business interests. con-
siderably involved with his political
interests, are too great to make this
satisfactory situation. Also 1t will
take some time to heal his hurt
pride.
Nobody anticipates much activity
by Phipps in behalf of Waterman,
Notwithstanding Phipps is chairman
of the Republican senatorial cam
paign committee.

teams that use cut back plays. like
Knute Rockne's shown in the dia.-
gram. often run up larger scores than
they otherwise would.
For example. take Rockne's cut
back play that the Four Horseman
made SO famous. not to mention the
way Christie Flanagan gains with It
this Fall. II the defensive back rush
ing forward to stop 1t could el,lfle the
interferer it would not be nearly so
successful. One way for him to do
this is illustrated.
Fig. / shows the back coming up to
stop the runner. Fig. shows the op-
posing back-the interferer-tearing
at him to cut him down. Note that
the defensive back has raised both
arms. In Fig. 3 you see him striking
the interferer and showing him into
the turf at his side, as he swings his
ward to make the tackle. Until defen-
sive players can do stunts of this kind
cut back plays will always gain a
great deal Of ground if the runner Is
able to pass the line of scrimmage.

CONFERENCE IN EAST
is DECLARED A NEED

The Princeton- Harvard break has
given impetus to the talk of an East
ern foot hall conference which Will
include some 10 or II of the more
important foot hall playing colleges
in this section.
Just how Princeton feels about It
is not known, but at Yale there Is
known to be a sentiment in favor OF
it. although just how strong 1t Is may
not be said. There is none the less
everywhere q strong feeling that East
ern institutions should protect foot
ball as it has been protected In the
Middle West through the Big Ten,
the Missouri Valley and Ohio con-
ferences and similar orga niZations in
the South and the Rocky Mountains
and the far West.
For one thing the feeling Is grow
ing here that something should be
done about the system of selecting
foot ball officials for big games.
As 1t is now the leading colleges
have absolute saw as to who shall and
who shall not work their games. and
II behooves the arbiters to watch their
steps very carefully lest they offend
some lucrative client.
In the Western Conference the
officials are selected by a central au-
thority and the colleges have no part
I'm the matter. Something Of the sort
might he done in the East and it
would react advantageously upon the
game.
Then. too. II is believed that a
dozen institutions joined in the pro-
mitigation Of common standards and
standing for the same sort Of eligibil-
ity. at the same time regulating the
conduct Of players on the field would
be an excellent thing for foot ball
on the Atlantic seaboard.
Maybe the Harvard Princeton hiatus
may serve to bring this about. If
so. that break between Nassau and
the Crimson will have been the best
thing that ever happened
