D,s Moincs. Nov. : lF - The Tanker play as used by Tulane is presumed 10 be something new. AS q matter Of fact, it is an old crca- tlon.
 Stagg at inc University Of Chica- go startled the football world last fall by coming out Of the depths to beat a big Washington team by the clever use Of fankcr
 Tulane the 1929 champions Of the Southern conference, employed ii last fall 10 shake the great Banker loose, Time after time he ran every opponent into the ground.
 This year Tulane with veteran line, has the same threat with the speedy Whatlcy.
 Glover, right half, trots out ion to , yards and Hanks the defensive left end. The intention is of course, to lure the end out and then run the play inside.
 If, however, the end refuses to be inticed, the play is run wide Dal- rymple, the great right end. is 10 tie up the defensive tackle. NcCor- mick, right guard, comes out 10 as sst him.
 Glover, the fanking back, comes in and smaShes the end as he races across the line Of scrimmage. The ball is snapped to Whatley, left half who is a good five yards behind the center. He follows Dawson. quarter and Felts, full, who acts as personal interferers.
 Holland, left end, and Bodenger, left guard, go diagonally across the field after the defensive half and full.
 The play requires unusual speed and excep eptional open field blocking. If used frequently it is hard on the players.
 Tulane. however. seems to have its fundamentals and uses this play with splendid success and apparent ly with.a minimum Of effort.

Eddie Gerard Faces a Big Task With the New York Americans

New York, Nov. z P)-Eddio Gerard. who once piloted the Mon trcal Maroons ;~ the worlds hockey championship, faces a big task this season in making out of the last
 place New York Americans a team
 that will be in the thick of the
 Stanley Cup fight.
 | At least two things, however. are | in favor of the new American man. aser. Toward the end of last sea
 son, the Americans showed that they
 were quite capable of winning hoCk- | eY games and that they had the baa- 1 is of d good team. and Owner Bill DWyer has given Gerard free hand
 in any player deals he believes ncc-
 essary to build up the team.
 So far. Gerard has taken the
 stand that every member Of the biz
 squad that went 10 Gait, Ont, for 1 training, has an equal chance of
 winning a place on the team. More
 than fifty players. drawn from DWyer's New Haven Eagles. from
 last years American squad and
 from various other sources. came under the managerial scrutiny.
 The big deals so far have been Ithe acquisition of Red Dutton powerful defense man from the
 Montreal Maroons and the sale of
 another defense star, Lionel Con-
 acher who served as playing man
 ager Of the Americans last year, to i the Maroons.
 | The pruning Of the large squad
 Of amateur candidates for the team
 already has begun and few seem likely to get jobs. Jack Heating l Convey, center, and Rip Radley and Vernon Ayres. defensemen, have been sent to New Haven. With them went Roy Burmister, who WIS with the Americans part of last sea-
 son. Billy Holmes, another reserve l forward. has been released
 Billy Burch, veteran center star.
 appears to be the key man of Ger ards offensive plays. Burch. minus ! q lot of excess weight, appears ready for d big season. Playing with him are Normie Hines, center Of the 1929 midget" line, and ! George Patterson. who showed great form toward the end of last season. The other little fellows, Rabbit Me Weigh and Johnny Sheppard. prob ably will appear among the reserves. New York also has purchased Il fine young forward line intact, Mike
 Neville, center, and Frank Carson and Happy Ems, wings, stars Of tn" Windsor International league team,
 were bought from the Maroons and probably will form the second American set of forwards.
 On the defense, the Americans again have their star goalie. Roy Shrimp" Worters, with Young Jack Murray Of Brockville. Ont. as q possible understudy. A pair of bat
 scared veterans, Bullet Joe"
 Simpson and Bill Brydc. are the
 starting defense pair with Dutton and Ellis Pringle, formerly Of the
