Ed Weir, famous all-American
tackle at Nebraska the past few
years. was of great value to his team
on offensive because he could. from
the position Of left guard, come out of
the line and lead a back on an end
run, taking out an opponent 80 that
his teammate with the bali could re-
verse the field and make long gain.
The diagram shows exactly how this
run Was made possible by Weir
Grange made many Of his long gains
through similar interference.
Figure | shows how the lineman
starts. lie lines up next tn center
ia, ing forward. ON the snap Of the
ball he springs back with his right
foot. pushing himself with both hands
and his leEt foot The important
thing here is that his first step carry
him Wen back of center. Then he
runs low behind his line of scrimmage
until outside his right end. who is,
boxing the opposing tackle. Here he
turns across the line of scrimmaGe by
pushing himself forward with his
right leg Zig. g. His job now is to
locate the opposing halfback coming
across to make the tackle and to
throw himself at fun speed into that
backs legs Zig. ~. This clears the
field for the cut back run of his back,
carrying the ball. if every one else
has taken his man. It's important AS
any play in foot ball.
n Tip for players: All linemen

runs OF this Kind daily. Those who
obtain most speed can then he used
as guards on such plays.

In the opinion of number of
leading Broadway commissioners.
this series will go down as the
heaviest betting Fall Chassis in his
tory. One commissioner alone
stated that he had handled more
than $1aa.O0o up to yesterday after
noon. II was said on all sides that
st. Louis money was more plentiful
than Yankee. and the reason was
that the Yankee followers were hold
ing out in the hope that the price
would shorten.
II has been estimated that the
money wagered on the opening game
would total around 100000. and
that before the series ended. II II
is close. the total would be at least
IS, 900. zoo.
The rea son for such generous
placing of money. il was said. was
due TO the uncertainty, the playing
strength Of both teams in a series OF
this kind. 1t il a good bet either way
is the way most of the betting commits
sioners put it. and on the records OF
both teams this IL considered a safe
appraisement.
Jack Doyle, a Broadway commits
sioner at his billiard academy this
morning. quoted the following figures:

the first game.
I to 10 against the Yankees to

porters much money made its appear
ance in betting circles. There seems
to be no limit to 1t. in the words If a
commissioner. Another reported

at that time that in the not so dim or
distant future he would be intrench-
ed. defending himself and his team
against the challenge of this young
Lochinvar who came out of the
West to attain base ball fame and
fortune.
Hugeins. the teacher, as a matter
of fact. already has found himself
eclipsed by the pupil. In the first
place. the sympathy OF the crowd

call it that-always is with the pupil
and against the pedagogue. II
Hornsby at some time during the
game could bean" Miller Higgins
with an old time bean shooter. the
crowd would get its greatest thrill.
to sit on the bench or cavort on the
coaching linS. His playing days
are over. Hornsby. "Rajah Of swat.
is out there on the firing line. the
keystone of the Card defense a. well
as the hig gun in it's fearless attack.
Hornsby Is the colorful figure ~ the
series. The crowds here as we'll as
al his home grounds. will be watch
ing his every move.
Like Walter Johnson In 1924.
Rogers Hornsby Is having his hrst
fling at world series. He has not
beer in the big show as long as Sir
Walter: his period of waiting has
not been SO long. but 1t was long
enough. Eddie Collins. frankie
Frisch. Bucky Harris AL have flashed
their stuff about the second station.
1t has been a pivotal point in truth
AS we'll as In theory. Hornsby at
last has his chance for the hall Of
fame. But not only must Hornsby
rank with the hest Of the second
cd to hold his own with the imperial
Babe Ruth. or even to eclipse that
sultan of the big swing. All In all.
Hornsby is carrying a heavy load.
Nothing New to Ruth.
With the Babe world series is an
old story, but the Rabe is what the
theatrical profession knows as a
good performer" He not only is ac
customed to the limelisht. hut he
likes it. The difficulty with the Babe Is
that he is expected to hit on all eight
all the time. IL he cracks out single
or a double the crowd takes II for
granted and he gets little or no ap,
plause. His stuff" Is to knock home
runs. and IL he is not doing that the
fans think they are not getting their
moneys worth. Home-run hitting is
not so easy during series. where
the pitching is more careful then dur
ing the course Of the season. But If
the Bam doesn't get a four-bagger or
two it will be because he Is walking
too much to first. The Babe Is not as
st on the paths as he was two or
three seasons ago. but he Is still wOr-
risome when he gets on.
Hornsby. the pupil. must match his
wits against Higgins. the teacher:
must match his hands against the
great masters Of the past at second.
and must match his bat against the
greatest swatSmith of modern times.
Otherwise he will have nothing to do
during the series.
