precisely as they do in basket ball.
Rockne thinks the ball goes faster this
way and much more accurately.
"Will use the lateral pass much?
said Rockne. Not a great deal. Wen
keep our old attack. The lateral will
come in handy as scoring play, close
to the goal. in a pinch. 1t will be
used on the kick off. of course, and 1t
will be used a lot on punt. too. and
probably will be more effective in this
case than on the kickoff, since on a
punt the ends are taught to converge
upon the ball carrier. A man playing
wide on the kickoff will be more
likely to be covered than on a punt"
Stagg Likes New Game.
The lateral and backward pass is
here to stay. 1t was not fy-by-
night piece of foot ball legislation
which the rules committee inserted
into the game just to be sensational.
SO asserted AlonZo A. Stage. vet.
eran coach of the University Of Chi
cago and member of the rules COM
mittee.
This lateral pass rule" Stagg add
ed, will mark the end Of radical legis-
lation in the line of offense by the
rules committee. From now on it will
be up to the coaches throughout the
country to consolidate the game.
by that / mean that with the elm
ination OF peril from a dropped pass
we have all the opportunities in the
way Of attack that the game needs.
We have the forward pass. the lateral
throw, line thrusts, offtackle plays
and sweeps.
More is not needed. What more
has to be done is to take all these ele-
ments OF attack, develop them to their
full possibilities and blend them all
into an interlocking offense that will
be basically standard"
Stagg doubts that teams of this sea
son or next will be expert with the
lateral attack. He thinks that facility
with 1t will have to be acquired just
as with the forward pass.
at may be-" said Stagg, that the
present generation Of college players
will pass out and their places will be
taken by boys from the high and prep
schools before the lateral pass comes
into it's own"

FIFTH CHESS GAME

RUENOS AIRES, September %
The fifth game for the world chess
championship contested by Jose r.
Capablanca. Cuba, and Alexander
Alekhne. Russia, was declared draw
after Al moves.
This game was adjourned Tuesday
and when Capablanca was ready TO
move last night the Russian challeng-
err suggested a draw. The champion
accepted.
The game was considered by the
experts as the most interesting yet

ed combinations previously criticized
by themselves in analyses of chess
games.

= IL mighty promising foot ball
elevens. Real power is found
In the teams of the Big Ten and here
in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Nebra ska. with a splendid array OF
regulars and more and better reserve
material than she has possessed IN
several years, will be mighty hard 10
beat with any team. In the missouri
Valley Conference, Missouri and Kan
sas State are likely to be Nebraska
most formidable rivals.
The Cornhuskers will entertain
Syracuse and New York University
at lincoln and will play Pittsburgh in
the Smoky City. It looks as though
New York, Pittsburgh and Missouri
will give the Lincoln team its hard
est battles.
In the Western Conference Mime
sofa looms like a juggernaut. In the
fact that most of the important Big
Ten eleyens have ducked the Co
phers this year there would seem few
tangible obstacles in the way of
triumphant march by this team to
the conference championship.
Northwestern has a new coach In
Dick Hanley, formerly Of the Has
kell Indians. No coach has ever won
Western Conference honors in his
first year, so Hanley has psyche
logical precedent to combat. Bu.
with Lewis, Levinson and GustafSon
In the backfield and a line composed
of veterans, save at one end and
tackle, the Evanston team may be
expected to be q leader. Lack of
reserve material, though, might hurt
the Purple.
Two Other Great Teams.
Ohio State stands with Minnesota
and Northwestern as trio Favored TO
stand at the head Of the conference.
The Buckeye backfield ought to be
exceptional and the line will be rugged
and fast. Purdue may we'll edge into
the charmed circle. She has a power
ful line and versatile veteran back
field. Harvard wants to. look out or
the Boilermakers will knock. her off
when they appear at Cambridge next
month.
Illinois may succeed in developing
q proficient backfield, but Frosty
Peters loss will be felt. There will be
no fault to find with the Illinois line.
Michigan must replace Friedman, a
tall order, and, besides. several impor'
tant line POSITIONS must De nlleu. Inc
Wolverines will do well, but not su-
premely well.
Wisconsin has large squad of
kplendid.looking material. which. how
ever. needs a lot Of coaching. The
fortunes of the Badgers will depend
upon how quickly the players grasp
what Thistlethwaite Is trying to teach.
Iowa promises little this season.
Indiana is beginning to draw good
material and will be formidable next
year If not this. Notre Dame will be
quite up to snuff, as it now appears.
and Marquette will have one Of her
strongest teams.
Here in Lincoln, Nebra ska feels very
good about her attack as is. Ernie
Bearg, the coach, has done no expert
menting with lateral pass plays as
yet and probably will not. He believes
that his present offensive scheme, IS
adequate; provided the men are there

souri, Valley Conference, 1t is difficult

Wandering Redskin is declared in
| eligible, a backtield made up OF Blue
| Howell, Presnell. Oelrichs and Brown
is a combination which would fill the
most exacting coach with emotions Of
delight.
In addition to refraining from use
| of the lateral pass, the COrnhuskers
| are employing no shifts. The team
| lines up with two ends paired. then
| the center, then two tackles and a
guard, with McMullen, 20o-pound
| guard, out on the end. 1t is the for
nation from which Illinois used to
| shake Grange loose and then shoot
him across. Nebraska hopes to do
plenty of shooting with Howell and
| Presnell.
No Change at NOtre Dame.
Wherever the writer fares on, his
| country wide foot ball journey one
question is encountered more than
any other-What is Notre Dame max
| ing of the changes in the rules?
Watching Knute Rockne's men In
practice, it was clear that with one
exception the complexion Of the ira
ditional Notre Dame style of offense
will show no noteworthy change.
But the one exception is very impor.
tant. 1t relates to the baCkfield. The
shift this season will be complicated
by man in motion before the ball is
snapped. This man either will so out
wide TO play the part of a lash to the
lateral whip and take forward passes
or he will turn in and work on the de-
fensive tackle or end. This Is as Bill
Roper's Princeton team did a few
years ago and as Glenn Warmers Pitt
elevens did before that.
1t looked in practice as though
Notre Dame is going to make quite a
lot Of capital out of this man.in'motion
maneuver.
Teaches Change OF Pace.
Then Rockne has applied another
important novelty which is apt TO
play havoc with the defense this sea-
son. 1t is a change of pace in the
Well KNOWN, DdckIlelu SHUT. 1ISlSiu
of one-second pause after a shift,
there will be a two-second pause or
even one Of three seconds. This al
teration in the duration Of pauses is
quite confusing to men facing the
Notre Dame attack. The rule that
there must be a full second pause
between the end of the shift and the
swapping of the ball is not bothering
Rockne--at least not to the extent of
making him abolish his shift.
Il have always taught my men to
pause before the swapping of the
ball., he said, land in cases where
| they do not do it, then it's up to the
officials to soak them Is yards"
AS to the lateral pass. Rockne Is
first concerned with making sure his
| men know about defense against the
play. Rockne believes that the full
back and center will have to be called
in to help the ends on this defense.

lateral passes the Notre Dame players
