n YEw YORK, October 80. Now
that teams throughout the
country have completed their
4 October schedules, the critics
may peer through the clearing
murk of early season form and gain a
fairly definite idea of the status of
gridiron affairs,
Various teams have emerged from
the ruck, holding at present position
in the vanguard. Others while still
tagging have yet that chance which
November games hold of pulling up
with the leaders, while still others seem
already to have established themselves
as unsuccessful.
''T'f f'. EAST.
Army stands out just now as the
Eastern leader. 1t is a rugged, hard
hitting, foot-ball-wise outfit, supremely
we'll coached and possessing in Chris
eagle of Louisiana the greatest back
in the country.
Yale, despite her beating by West
Point, gave in that game splendid prom
ise of standard mid-November and late
November form. The team has been
kept back by injuries, but its present
power and versatility should not be
Harvard was loosely knit against
West Point, but none the less, as the
writer said last week. gave promise of
slashing form which materialized
against fairly strong Dartmouth
team. Harvard will come fast from
now on,
Princeton, it should be borne in
mind, Is the only major eleven in the
country which had not been scored on.
This means more than may appear on
the surface. The Tigers have been
carefully building for November games,
taking everything in their stride They
may show more against Ohio State than
most persons expect.
New York University has done we'll.
but as yet has met no major elevens.
At the same time, it may be said that
her play warrants her to rating In the
major classification
Carnegie Tech has yet to meet an
outstanding eleven. Pittsburgh, her best
opponent thus far, is below form. But
the Skibo eleven looks extremely for
midable.
Navy is beginning to show her in
herent power. November may we'll re-
deem those disastrous October Satur-
days.
Ohio State leads just now in the
Western Conference. Unquestionably
1t is one of the best Buckeye elevens in
a decade. The team combines power
and speed. The same may be said for
Iowa. Illinois has strong plugging
team. 1t is interesting to note that
the conference schedule demands that
Ohio State play both Iowa and Illinois.
So an interesting Big Ten situation will
be cleared up this month. Ohio State
may be step ahead Of Illinois, but
there is nothing to indicate that she
has any margin of superiority over
Iowa.
Wisconsin's tie game with Purdue was
a bad setback, but she has beaten Mich
igan and has a chance for redemption
in games against Minnesota and Iowa.
Nebraska may well be the star
eleven of the midlands Her power is
almost unbelievable and now versatil-
ity is beginning to show. Her one
great hurdle, as it seems, will be the

BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

NYEW YORK, october 30.-There
are half dozen games on this
Nj weeks Eastern foot ball calen-
/ " dar to give pigskin followers
their customary quota of thrills,
but only one of them will have much
bearing on the sectional championship
fight.
At the moment it appears that in
the event Army'S dashing, powerful
squad eventually meets defeat, the
clash of Georgetown and New York
University at the Yankee Stadium next
Saturday will go far toward deciding
where the mythical Eastern title, VIII
60. It will not be ell-deciSive, how
ever. for both must meet another good
team before the final curtain is rung
down. Carnegie Tech, as yet unde-
feated and united, meets Georgetown
November 10 and N. Y. U. on Novena-
Der "a.
Army Now Favored.
The championship struggle thus
seems to lie among these four-Army,
N. Y. u, Georgetown and Carnegie
Tech-but if the Cadets march through
the rest of their schedule as success
fully as they have to date. there will be
few to dispute their right not only to
SeCIlOIldl, DuJ IltkllUIldl ltO1IOAo do well.
Army gets a breathing spell this
week, tackling an intersectionaI foe in
Depaw at West Point. Princeton, un-
beaten, but tied by Virginia, will get its
biggest test of the season at Columbus,
Ohio, where rugged Ohio State must be
encountered. Notre Dame comes east
to tangle with Penn State at State COL
lege. Each has been beaten twice.
Pennsylvania, its title hopes blasted by
Navy, goes West to meet Chicago, more
or less of a doormat in the Big Ten
this season. Colgate, which already has
played Vanderbilt. Virginia Poly and
Michigan State. takes on another in
tersectional opponent in Wabash.
Although both have suffered defeat,
the Yale-Dartmouth clash at New
Haven will not lack for interest. Yale
lost by two touchdownS to Army and
Dartmouth by similar margin to Har-
ward, but that is not another way of
saying they have weak teams. Army
is match for any one, and 1t appears
that Harvard may be the same. Har-
ward has no one harder than Lehigh to
beat Saturday.
Cornell Columbia in Duel.
Cornell and Columbia, victims of
Princeton and Dartmouth, respectively,
are preparing for duel Of their own at
Baker Field. A strong Syracuse ag-
gregation, nosed out by Nebraska and
tied by Penn State. takes on Pittsburgh,
which already has lost to West Viz
ginia and Carnegie Tech.
Brown, hard put to beat Little Tufts
last week, may find Holy Cross even
tougher, but Navy, now apparently
started on the right direction, should
dispose Of West Virginia Wesleyan.
Lafayette will battle Washington and
jefferson under somewhat strange con-
ditions. Usually this contest has one

Reports from Annapolis indicate that
the Reina Mercedes eleven, which took
a 28-to-0 drubbing from Palace A. c.
last Sunday, will be much improved by

Back in 1915, Elcock, former star
Dartmouth lineman, then coaching
Washington and Lee, surprised the
foot ball world with new forma-
ton - the three-men-out. 1t beat
West Virginia and all but toppled
Cornell, the one championship eleven
Cornell ever produced. DR.. Al
Sharpe, now at Washington Uni
versity, then Cornell's coach, was
saved from defeat by timely scout
ing.
The three-men-out formation
caught every one mapping. It over
whelmed the standard types of de-
fense, just as had the Idaho spread
a decade before, which Hurry Up"
Yost year later brought East to
Michigan, but without good results.
Elcock'S team merely put two
backs, Nos. 2 and in diagram, and
the left end, No. 6, out to the right
some Is yards from tackle. The
end was on the line of scrimmage,
all three were eligible to receive
passes. His fullback, No. 4, played
10 yards back of center. The quar-
terback, No. l, was under center
His position there forced the op-
posing line to remain in position.
The three-men-out merely ran
down the field, two turning in, when
the play was first used. Later West
Virginia and then Princeton took it
up, highly perfecting the scheme of
plays. But before that let me show
you tomorrow another scheme FL
cock worked with this formation.

feat Former King of WeIter Division.

breaker boy from the coal country,
and Latzo will be in there winging
away, trying to put over the sea-
sons most important fistic upset.
Tommy is too fast for Pete, how
ever, and it will be strange indeed
if he does not outpoint the chal-
lenger with ease. Loughran already
has made arrangements to defend
his title half a dozen times this
summer, without taking into con-
sideration the possibility of defeat.
Latzo is slow of foot and arm, a
ploddin gslugger and fairly good
infighter who is far from spectacu-
lar to watch. 1t is difficult to see
how he can hope to catch the
elusive, lightning-like Loughran.
After Tommy has defeated Latzo
he will consult with the boxing COM
mission Friday as to what to do
next.
F'ugazy has a contract calling for
for the champion to meet Leo LON
ski at Ebbets field June 13. Rick
ard has been given permission by
the commission to match Loughran
and Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo at
Yankee stadium June a.
The impression exists that Stat
terry is likely to prove the most dan
gerous of Loughran's prospective
opponents. Tommy has pretty we'll
solved the attack of Leo Lomski.
He has taken the hardest wallops
Of the Aberdeen Assassin on the
chin, and has come back to whip
Leo by an appreciate margin. Lom-
ski should be softer for the title
holder next time.
Jimmy slattery gave Loughran
a great fight in Madison Square
Garden last winter, matching the
champions speed afoot and hold
ing his own in the matter Of box
ing skill. A return match should
be we'll worth watching.
The champion, meanwhile, is a
3 to 1 favorite to get past Pete
Latzo tonight.

cases contact between fielder and
baSerunner may be more the fault
of the fielder, but that fact can not
be taken into consideration. If there
is interference, whether intentional
or accidental, the runner must be
called out
If umpires gave thought to
whether the interference was acct
dental or intentional, they constant
ly would be in hot water. The base
runner would have a perfect alibi
In that he didn't try to interfere
with the fielder, that the happening
was purley accidental. Incidentally
when it was apparent to him that
ne might pull something and get
away with it on the accidental
theory, he would never overlook the
opportunity.
While in certain cases it NAV
seem that the penalty on the base
runner is rather severe, yet to give
consideration to the possibility of
the interference being accidental
would make the life of the umpire
much tougher one.
Hew closely to the rule on an in
reference play is the advice I in
Varlaoly give and follow.
