The first half opened with Hazel

tiful and the field open for Schan-

youngster fumbled.
Ashley, through a series Of cross

down. Hazelton then brought the
ball down by series Of terrific
smashes by Steiner and Weiser.
Poor judgment gave Ashley the ball
again, and through surprise fake
another touchdown was scored.
The third score of the game was
made at the close of the hall when
Dietzman, Hazelton quarter, threw a

half ended with the score 10 to 0,

of the two teams practically the

Nv HENRY l.. FARRELL
(NEA Service Sports Writer)

The New York Yankees will be
at least slightly altered and perhaps
/ generally remodeled before another
season opens, it may be gathered
from a remark made by Miller Hug
gins after his club had cleaned up it's
second world series in straight
games. -,
The small manager of the worlds
champions, team that seemed to
prove itself again as one Of the
greatest of all times, was asked by
an American League official II he
had any players on the market.
1.-THE whole ball club with the ex-
ception of eight" he replied.
The eight he is said to have men
toned are Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri,
Combs. Hoyt, Pipgras, Pennock and
Johnson.
BY process of elimination this
would place on the market Meusel,
Dugan, burst, koenig, Gazella. Rob-
ertson, Paschal. Collins, Bengough,
Grabowski and the rest of the pitch
ers.
Deny Deliberate Breaking
In admitting their intention to
make numerous changes in the club.
Yankee officials made it clear they
were not acceding to the roar of the
outlands demanding that the team
be busted right open SO that the
other teams would have a chance.
And it was mindful Of a situation
last year.
After the Yankees had galloped
in with the pennant and had
slammed the Pittsburgh Pirates in
four straight games, there were SER
ious suggestions even from official
sources that the team be torn apart
for the good Of baseball.
And Colonel Rupert replied:
"some day we will break up the
team but when we do the breaking
we will do it to get stronger team. .
| And if any extensive changes are
made this winter, they will be made,
not to mollify disgruntled opposi-
ton, but to make the club even
stronger. Despite the magnificent
showing made in winning the pen
nant this year and in making mess
of the Cardinals, the Yankees have
some spotty points.
Wants Two Outfielders
The management wants two more
outfielders, one particularly to hell
out the Babe because they do MOI
believe that the Babe will be able
to play every day through another
season.

Rajah May Play at Little for
the Cubs But Gehringer, Sec.
ond Baseman, Is One of the
Stars of the Club; Playing
Managers Beaten This Year
By ALAN ]. GOULD
Associated Press EditOr)

New York. Oct. 25. - (AP) If
Rogers Hornsby goes to the Chicago
Cubs, to concentrate upon second
basing and his habit of rolling up
big batting averages, the major
league campaigns next spring may
start without a playing manager on
any field for the first time in as
many moons as can be recalled, off
hand.
Even if the rambling Rajah should
retain the helm at Boston or grasp
it elsewhere the situation would be
in sharp contrast to that of few
years ago when majority Of the
American League pilots were daily
or almost daily performers and
about half of the entire group OF
master minds in active harness.
There was an epidemic Of playing
managers few seasons ago, when
George Sisler, Eddie Collins, Bucky
Harris, iris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Ray
Schalk, Dave Bancroft and Hornsby
took whirls at handling the man
agerial reins here and there. So
far as results were concerned,
Speaker, Hornsby and Harris not
only won poanants but worlds
championships.
Now, however, the magnates seem
to prefer to have the heavy think
ing done and strategy directed by
managers whose energies are con-
centrated upon the bench or no far
Their afield than the coaching lines.

his responsibility from Washington

TEAMS Use THREE
DEFENSIVE PLANS
AGAINST PASSING
By JOCK" SUTHERLAND
University of Pittsburgh Football
Cnachl


There are three recognized and
commonly used defenses for forward
passes: the "man-for-man" defense,
the Zone" defense, and the combina-
ton Of both. There are also vari-
atoms of the above.
l won't venture to say which of
these defenses merits special men,
ton. ! use all three, depending upon
which of the three l think best
suited to meet the attack expected.
Each Is Responsible
The man-for-man defense calls
for certain defensive backs and the
center to cover certain offensive
men. Each man is responsible for
the offensive players he has been
assigned to cover. The defensive
player follows his man to the side
lines. He goes down the field with
him, never letting him get out Of
reach.
In the "zone" defense. defensive
backs are assigned certain territory
to cover or guard. They play the
ball rather than any particular backs
or ends.
The combination of both means
i what it implies. Some defensive
backs and the center, if he is play
ing out of the line, are held respons-
ible for territory, while others are
instructed to watch certain men.
Occasionally, to reinforce the de-
Tense when passes are expected, a
guard, q tackle, or an end is IN
structed to cover some offensive man
who is eligible to receive a pass, or
to drop back into his own territory
to guard designated zone.
! Sometimes a guard is assigned tt
cover territory over the center OF
the line. This is only done wher
there is considerable yardage to b.
gained, and the guard is REASONABLE.
certain no play will be sent through
his position.
Line Called Back
! Defensive ends on the so-callet
weak side" Of the line are ire
quently dropped back to cover flat
territory, the area between eithe'
end and the side-line. This is don
in most cases when it is Difficult
for the end to rush the passer.
Tackles are used in much tn
same way. They either drop bacl
and cover territory or have an under
standing with the defensive back
field that they will cover some elig
ible back.
The practice Of bringing out Ger
tain lincmen such as guards, end
or tackles to cover eligible pass re
ceivers is never used unless there
absolute certainty that pass wi
: be used. and the question Of whic
: linemen to use depends upon the d
, tack and the players versatility.

CLUE TO HASSELL
Danish Govt. Sends Out Statement That Pliers May Have Reached Coast of Greenland.

Copenhagen. Aug. 2S P-Possible proof that the Rockford to- Stock holm fliers, Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer reached the east coast of Greenland was contained in a com munique issued by the Danish gov- ernment today saying that noise like that of an airplane had been heard by the native colony at Akigasemish.
 This village, says the announce ment, is located at latitude 67.50 on the east coast of Greenland. The government had received no precise information as to time.
 The Danish governor of Green land informed the government that he would make a personal investi- gation of these fresh reports. Search for the missing airmen is proceeding all along the coast of Greenland and through the interior of the southern region.
 The Danish explorer, Knud Ras- mussen is aiding In the work and has appealed to the population to watch and report new developments.
