Coach Herb McCracken's Lafayette
eleven can be counted on to play a
strong kicking game. When this tutor S
safety man catches a punt there is al
ways danger that he will return it for
a good run. McCracken is a former
pupil of Pop Warner. He played at Pitt
when Pop was coaching there. Pop al
ways figured that the easiest ground to
gain was in returning punts and kick
offs. McCracken, thus filled with such
dogma. carries it out in his coaching.
To get his safety man free to return
a punt. when he knows punt is COM
ing. Herb has his ends drop back few
yards behind the Scrimmage line and a
few yards outside the opposing end.
The two short defensive backs. usually
the center and fullback. play back some
8 or 10 yards opposite the opposing
ends.
When the latter start down to cover
a punt they meet with trouble every
foot of the way. Bang! The opposing
ends hit them from the outside I'M
mediately. the fullback and center come
rushing at them for another attempt
to cut them down. AS soon as either
an end or back drives at an oncoming
end his job is to jump right up and go
after the end again. The purpose, of
course. Is 10 Ciear InS CuUSlQe OF the

by whipping the young Australian
team of Jack Crawford and Harry
Hopman. 1-6, "a. 12-10 in one of
the hardest fought doubles matches of
the year.
The doubles match went to deuce no
less than IL times before the Ameri-
cans could break through for victory.
Only Hennessey's brilliancy saved the
title from passing westward across the
Pacific. The Indianapolis Irishman,
who has been jinxed since he returned
from Europe and che Davis Cup play,
played one Of his best games.

Shift Rule Change in Big Ten
Is Going to Stir Up Trouble

IL would be made next year The con-
ference coaches decided not to wait for
official action and took the matter into
their own hands.
In a nutshell. the difference between
the way the Big Ten will play this rule
and the way it will be observed else
where is that in the conference NOV
ing back will be adjudged as violating
the shift rule, hence 15-yard penalty:
while among other teams the moving
back will be adjudged merely as man
in motion, calling for five-yard PEN
atty.
DIR. Spears Peeved.
DR.. Spears of Minnesota is miffed by
this change. which was made in his
absence. and he says he will not observe
it. His team will play foot ball in ac-
cordance with the regular rule. How
Yost feels about 1t the writer cannot
say.
The change will not apply, in any
event. to games between conference
elevens and outside opponents, as Chi
cago and Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Ohio State and so on. Minnesota says
it will not apply to her conference
games either. So all in all, it looks as
if trouble is brewing.
The Gophers will be one of those big
bruising teams such as have char
acterized Minnesota since DR.. Spears
took hold here. The man power of
this institution is literally tremendous.
For backs they have the high and prep
school products of the two large cities
and for linemen there are great huSkies
of the lumber camps, the wheat fields
and the Northern iron mines.
Wisconsin thinks that if other con-
ference rivals played the North men
as consistently as the Badgers do. they
would not have so much pep left in
them toward the end Of the season.

n K INNEAPOLIS, Mimi. September
M "a. - One very important
N amendment to the foot ball
rules which has been made by
the Western Conference, and
which is causing some i'll feeling in the
Big Ten. is due to get thorough going
over this season.
This rule, only found in the Western
Conference, relates to approved ruling
No. 10 applying to rule g. section 6, OF
the regular foot ball rules. 1t was made
by eight coaches of the Big Ten. with
Dr. Spears of Minnesota and Fielding
Yost of Michigan not present. The
change was proposed by Robert Zuppke
of Illinois, and they do say that 1t was
sort of a slap at the Notre Dame syS-
tenn of offense.
How 1t Now Reads.
At any rate, the rule which will be
observed by the conference now reads
"The conference coaches agree that
any one man on either end OF the line
scrimmage-and no other-may move
laterally. but not forward, and remain
stationary for less than one second
without penalties. This is not to apply
to back or any other lineman:"
Under this agreement a back may
Jump into the line after SHIFT, but
must wait full second before the ball
is snapped. AS the official rule stands.
a wing back who has come to one
second stop after shift may then Jump
into the line and stop only momen-
tarily, not necessarily a full second,
before the ball is snapped.
The Big Ten coaches called this
change to the Suggestion OF the rules
committee and received reply saying
that nothing official would be done this
year. but that the matter would be
watched and if change was necessary
