AS shown by the diagram the de-
fensive tackle on the strong side is
playing opposite the No. or wing back.
He should play opposite the wing back
unless he plays out very far or in very
close. The defensive guard plays so
that he cannot be driven in by the Of
fensive tackle. The offensive end is in
q quandry. If he goes on the guard
the tackle will surely get through, while
If he helps on the tackle the guard can
literally walk through on all outside
plays and is still in position to stop
plays on the inside. One can see how
hard it is from the position of the Of
fensive backs to attack on the weak
side. AS result the weak side de-
fensive tackle can play just of the Of
fensive end-physically in and mentally
out.
Take the double wing back system
with a wing back on each side. 1t is
possible to attack either side. Both
tackles are vulnerable. There is no
short side as far as the attack is con-
cerned, while the center Of the line is
weak II the tackles don't play close, and
II they don't play wide flank plays will
go. The flank play is the really strong
one. Under equal conditions it is easier
to gain outside than inside every time

N YEW YORK, November 6.-Once
more foot ball approaches the
VI old Harvard-Princeton Satur-
J. ' day with a great gap in the
Eastern schedule, more ap-
parent because of Harvard's jaunt out
of this sector to meet Michigan at Ann
Arbor in interSectional strife. The
Army, which entertained Notre Dame
at the Yankee Stadium on this date
last season, will be found at Cham
paign, arrayed against an Illinois
eleven in a game for which the Him
have been pointed all season.
The strictly Eastern program offers
the greatest chance of drama at Provi-
dence, where a Dartmouth eleven
mourning the loss of Alton K. Mars
tiers for the season will struggle with
Brown in the game which is to end
relations between the two institutions
for two years at the least. With Mars
tiers in a Hanover hospital, the Big
Green team is not the cinch it ap-
peared to be before losing to Yale.
Even though Bill Roper refuses to
take his game with Lehigh as a train
ing gesture, and with some reason, he
gave the Princeton varsity second
day of rest yesterday, with the promise
Of scrimmage today. Every Princeton
move from now to the finish will be
made with the Yale game in view. re-
gardless of the outcome of the Lehigh
fray. Yale has a much easier assign
ment this week in Maryland, although
the Southern eleven turned back the
Ellis last year by to O.
Stopped short on West Virginia'S
half-yard line at the Polo Grounds
yesterday, just when 1t seemed that a
Scoreless tie would be broken, Ford
ham moves into Boston on Satur-
day in a bid for the championship of
the Catholic college big three of the
East. Major Cavanaugh already has
the scalp of Holy Cross flying from his
belt and needs only this decision in
the Boston game to step into the title.
With the failure of Fordham to de-
velop a scoring punch against West
Virginia in something like eight chances
near the Mountaineer goal, considerable
doubt has grown up regarding the
Maroons chances against Boston.
West Virginia has no let up, meeting
the strong Detroit eleven at Morgan
town on Saturday with only four days
Of rest. Detroit has not lost in its last
20 engagements, and is favored over
the MountaineerS.
Two important engagements will be
fought in New York on Saturday, Co
lunbia giving Colgate its first sectional
test and New York University lining up
against Georgia, conqueror of Yale. Co
lumbia will do we'll to hold Andy Kerr's
big Maroon eleven in check. Georgia
is favored over the not-so-violent
VioletS
Cornell apparently has something of
a breather in the Western Reserve
game at Ithaca, but these days one
never can tell until the final scores are
posted.
A most even game should be seen
at Franklin Field, where two comeback
attempts will crash head on as Penn
sylvania meets Penn State.
Both have recovered from early
rought spots, Pennsylvania with a fine
victory over the Navy and Penn State
with triumph at the expense of Syra-
euse;S and neither seems to have any
advantage in the coming fray.
The Navy will have a chance to re-
cover at the expense of Georgetown
no light assignment at any stage Of the

Spreads the Defense.
much prefer the offense shown ir
diagram /, with the wing backs loos'
and the ends in close. This gives q
tight line from end to end and it is
much more difficult for any defensive
player to sift through. Where the
wing backs play outside the ends they
should play at least yard wide. So
many teams make the mistake OF play
ing the wing backs just trifle outside
the tackles.
The great strength of the double wing
back style of attack is that it spreads
the defense. Most of the effectiveness
of the attack is lost If the wing backs
do not play wide. If they play close to
the tackle the defense does not have
to play as wide.
Where the wing backs play inside the
ends the line does not have to spread as
much. The defensive tackles can play
opposite the ends with no fear of being
fanked, as the wing backs are inside OF
them, but with the wing backs outside
the ends the tackles are always afraid
of being fianked This is the real
strength of the double wing-back sys-
TEN with the tackles constantly in fear
Of a flank attack. The inside is weak
ened, while the wing backs are in q
splendid position to charge the tackles
in, unless they play extremely wide
And If they do they lose all chance OF

the Navy. The Princeton tackles played
very wide, fearful Of flank attack
AS result the Navy backs literally tore
through inside, between guard and
tackle. With the tackles wide the Navy
backs were able to concentrate on the
Princeton guards.
I think 1t is generally conceded an
unbalanced line is much stronger than
q balanced line, though Rockne at Notre
Dame uses the balanced line very sue
cessfully.
The Single wing back attack is really
used more than the double wing back,
but do not think it is as strong. The
single wing back offense can hit on
only one side with much degree of sue
cess, and as result the defense can
concentrate against the strong side.
With the defense concentrated on the
strong side the advantage of the single
wing BACK system is lost.
The diagram following shows the
single wing back attack and the defense
It can be readily seen that with the
defensive guard and tackle in proper
position there is little chance of gain
ing on the strong side, while it takes too
long for the offense to attack the weak
side.
Week Side Play Poor.
This is the real weakness of the sin
gle wing-back system of offense It is
impossible to devise good weak side
play.

AN two brides be bagged on
one hole Of a golf course?
They can, and just to prove
~ that it could be done, E. B.
Wagner, one of the Indian
Spring enthusiasts, did it.
The seventh hole at Indian Spring
is $50 yards long, and while it is marked
on the score card as a par 5 affair 1t
isn't a particularly difficult 4. It has
been done in 3 strokes several times,
and once George Voigt made it in q,
holing an iron shot from the fairway.
Wagner was playing with Dr. Walter
B. Vogel, otherwise known as the iron
master" of Indian Spring, and Wagner
hit screaming tee shot from behind
of the fairway. 1t so happened that
just at that moment sparrow chose
to cross the fairway from an adjoining
field. His path and that of the ball
converged, and Mr.. Sparrow was
knocked for as complete loop as any
bird ever was knocked. Strangely
enough, the ball, after hitting the bird
and tumbling the flyer down in heap
on the fairway, kept right on going
fairway. Wagner then hit second
shot to the near edge of the green, laid
chip shot within feet of the hole
and canned the putt for birdie on
the hole. So there you are. Two
brides can and have been made by one
player on the same hole.
That seventh hole at Indian Spring
has seen some odd occurrences. We
never shall forget the time we watched
Tommy Armour playing in syndicate
game with Leo Diegel, Fred Mcleod
and Sandy Armour. Tommy hit a fine
tee shot which would enable him to get
home in two. Never having played
the course before he aimed for the pin
at the fourth green, which was in line
with that of the seventh green, and
half missed and badly hooked the shot
The ball ended on the seventh green
within four feet of the pin and Tommy
sank the putt for an eagle 8 which
change. Even Tommy had to laugh
about the shot, for he admitted hav-
ing missed it badly and was far more
surprised than any one else when 1t
ended near the hole.
