Visual Foot Ball
BY Sol. METZGER.

When team uses it's quarterback
a line plunge, the all-important thing
is that the quarter feed it to him in
such a manner that the back can con-
centrate entirely on his plunge. Speed
in handling the ball is important.
Notre DANES quarterbacks obtain
speed by handling the ball with their
fingers.
The quarter usually plays to one
side or the other Of the center-be-
hind a guard. Then the opposition
does not know whether the pass from
center will be direct to A back or a
mere flip to the quarter Figure -. AS
the back is already in motion when
the quarter gets the ball he pivots
toward the line this back will pass,
swings the ball forward With both
hands figure y, and then drives it
with the hand furthest from the run
ner into the belt of the runner fig
ure 81, holding that hand against the
ball until the runner has passed him
figure ~, so the runner can gain
firm hold on it while plunging for
ward.
The diagram in. the circle shows
clearly that the quarter must stand
to one side so as not to block the
strafg ght line the runner follows in
plunging. The ball is held on this
line--waist high.
A tip for players. Quarterba cks
should practice handling the ball in
a crouched position, 80 that no part
of their bodies is higher than the
backs on the forward line. In that
position they are not visible to the
opposing linemen or backs, conse-
quently they do not tip off the oppo-
sition as to where the play is going.

WRITTEN IN STARS
FOR TUNNEY TO WIN

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 7.-Astrologers
here contend that it was written in
the stars that Gene Tunney should
beat Jack Dempsey for the heavy

scope was distinctly favorahl for
the issue, whereas Dempsey's was
not.
The sun, at the time of the fight.
it is asserted, was transiting the

BIG THREE DEBATE
ATHLETIC AFFAIRS

NEW HAVEN. Conn. October Z.
Yale. Harvard and Princeton last
night began an athletic conference
which Yale athletic officials hope
will result in continuance of the
triangular agreement which was
framed three years ago.
Reports that Harvard has been
planning to drop Princeton. at least
in foot hall. have created some alarm,
at Yale. where the hope is freely
expressed that there may he an
indefinite continuance of the agree
ment.
Yale's stand was originally taken
in 1889 when Harvard proposed TO
Yale that they form a dual league
in all branches of sport and Yale
replied hy voting that no agreement
he formed without some reference to
an arrangement with Princeton.
While there has been an under
standing between the trio since
then. Harvard and Princeton have
not met regularly. but the agreement
signed recently has resulted in
smoothing out SO many sources of
misunderstanding and in such An
Improvement of general relations. on
an improved basis of amateurship,
that Yale will keenly regret any dis
turbance Of the mutual relations.
William J. Bingham, Harvard di-
rector of athletics. and j. E. Ken
nedy. chairman of the Princeton
committee on athletics. went to the
Prospect Hill residence of Prof.
George H. Nettleton. chairman of the
Yale a'N'etic board Of control. They
were Prof. Eettletons dinner guests
and spent the evening at his resi-
dence.
Prof. Nettlnton said the meeting
was one cf =, series held periodically
under tt Harvard Princeton Yale

matter \ nich had arisen. The last
meetin. he said. took place in Cam
bridg last May. and. as the place

three runs and took the lead for
few moments. A great throw by Ruth
shot down another run at the plate.
Hoyt Coasts Along.
With the exception of that inning,
HOyt had no real trouble. The car
dinals continued desultory firing all
through nhe game, but In the last rev
innings Hoyt coasted along.
HOrnsby showed that his pitching
staff consists largely of Sherdel, Alex
ander and Haines. Rhem is a great
pitcher, but he worked too hard early
in the season and is now suffering the
consequence. Bad. or, shall we say,
reckless base running cost the yam
KEGS heavily in the early innings. They
threw away scoring chance after
chance Two men were out trying 10
stretch hits and Meusel and Dugan
were nailed at the plate, the former
on a rather foolhardy attempt to score
from first on long single.
From now on | think this series
will see a different Yankee team.
Huggins will pitch Pennock today,
and from the start l have said that
the 1.-the, sinewy lefthander is the
best pitcher on the two teams, ana
with the possible exception of Alex
I figure that Pennock again Will
beat Sherdel
Probably Will Stop SouthwOrth.
do not expect to see PennOck
mitch another three-hit game, but
he'll probably stop the phenomena
hitting of Billy Southworth. And
with the Yankee morale restored,
Sherdel is unlikely to hold the Yank-
ees to six hits as he did in New York
last Saturday.
The Yanks should take 3-to-2
lead today, but that does not mean
that they necessarily will win. After
Higgins pitches Pennock, Hornsby
will regain the pitching advantage
by having Alexander and Haines
ready for the New York games.
However. my prediction that the
Yankees will win in six games looks
much better tonight than 1t did "A
hours ago.

because you can hold them and take

If your team chooses the wind and re-

should kick on first down. 1t is too
