CENTER VITAL
POSITION ON
GRID TEAM
BY EDDIE CASEY.
Former Harvard Player and Present
Harvard Head COACH

| Former Harvard Player and Present
Harvard Head COACH
Boston. Sept. l6.-In the whole
realm of football there seemed
to be no job so lowly as that of
center. He was usually the
largest man on the team, chosen
SO that his weight would help
in the pushing and pulling, and
his only job was to pass the ball
back between his legs, or even
roll it back without even the
efficiency of an automatic
Today all this is past and the
position of center is at once
colorful, difficult and varied so
that the type selected for the
position must be athletic, in
every sense, beyond the average.
We read about and 60 to see
outstanding centerS play in games
much as we go to see star backs
or ends perform.
One of Best Centers
While combination of circum-
stances has combined to bring
about this condition, two factors
closely allied are chiefly respon-
sible. These are that the center
is expected to rove behind the
line as defensive back when
the other team has the ball, and
also that football has become
such an open game that all
teams use a six-man line on the
defense some of the time and
many teams use this all the time.
Most historians Of football
agree that Bill Lewis, of Am
herSt anC Harvard. one Of the
greatest cOIOred athletes of all
time and one of the greatest
centers in football lore. was
the originator of the rowing
type of center play.
Today the center on defense
either gives a signal or receives
one, which tells the whole team
that an open play, either an end
run or a forward pass, is ex-
pected, and he drops out of the
line to be in a stronger position
to meet the play. With the pre-
dominance of the open game, a
team like Army plays a Six-man
line all season long and many
teams play this type more than
half the time.
Notre Dame is a conspicuous
example of a team that plays a
center in the line most of the
time defensively. They do this
partly because most any member
of their line is expected to do
such .unorthodox things as drop
back, knife through or chase a
play around at any time.
With the center moving to
the center of the stage in more
ways than the position he plays.
we have produced many out
standing centerS in recent
years. This past year TicknOr
Of Harvard and SianO Of Ford
ham were sung far and wide
by football fans.
They we're more nearly half
backs and half-centerS than cen
terS. To be such all-round players,
backfield men half the game and
linemen half the game, requires
great versatility and stamina.
Both were leaders of their teams
in personality as we'll as ability.
With all the varied duties,
many of which are open to view
by any spectator at all times. the
position of center in the football
program is worthy of special
study by every follower Of foot
ball. At your next game spend
little time watching this man
who does such a difficult job,
part of it hidden and part very
apparent.

RESTORE RUINS :: Z 70 :@..:OFO OLD PERSIA Ancient Palaces to Be Re-
 built by CI.;cago
 Orienalist
By JOSEPH 1T. BAIRD littSl Press NtafY ('orres,nudn,

~ Uy,V " Washington .41-Ruined eastern pal aces which housed the kings of Per sia 800 years before the Christian era are to be restored in all their ancient glory under the scientific hand Of an American orientalist, pr James Henry Breasted of Chicago university. ''i.- < t41h.
 " Although the details of Breasted s plans are not yet known, the state department has been informed by Charles c. Hart American minister to Persia. that the Persian govern ment has granted the Chicago uni- Yersity professor permit to do the work. This permit incidentally. is understood to be the first ever issued to citizen of any nation other than france, which. for several years, has had the sole right to investigate tn. rlch Persian treasure houses of ar. cheology. It was granted under fersia's newly-enacted antiquities law.
 |. POmp and Glory
 The Persian palaces are located at Persepolis, ancient capital of Persia. which reflected the pomp ana glory of Oriental potentates for The old city is located 40 miles northeast of the present town of ShiraZ. ..
 In Persepolis, nearly 2,500 years ago. lived Darius l. of the First Archaemenian dynasty. Most of the ancient buildings date back to his reign. Shifting populations, wars and other forces dimmed the glory or Persepolis. and 1t was forgotten. Even the enlightened Greeks of the classical period. some historians say, dld not know of Persepolis until AL eXander the Great, in one of his campagins. came upon it.
 Returned to Fame
 Then. for a while. Persepolis was famous again. In 316 BIG 1t wa. made the capital of Persia, q pro- vince of Alexander's MacedoniaE empire. Nearly five centuries later lstnkhr, which grew up near the an- clent city, became the seat of local governors. This town became the capital of the second Persian em- pire and rivaled the older city as a seat of religion and learning. Few buildings erected by rulers of the second empire remain, for they were of lighter construction than the massive palaces of Darius l..
 For 1000 years the glory of Per sepolis waxed and waned. In the 10th century 1t ceased to exist and was given over to the bats and owls.
 Now comes q 20-century Ameri- can to dig the old buildings from their blanket of dust, to explore their still cvorridOrs and chambers in search of valuable antiques. and to restore the crumbling palaces to their former estate.
 Breasted, one of America's out archaeologists. taught for many years in Chicago university. In 1925 he was relieved of classroom work to take charge of the Oriental institute in the Near East and to do research work. Previously. Breasted had directed an Egyptian expedition sent out by, Chicago university in 1905.

made by the city council. and then only by . fonr- fifths vote. The 'couneil would have no power to re- peal any portion of the act creating the commission.
 After the expiration of the i've year period, the act and any amend rnents thereto by the general as- sembly or. by the city council may continue unless the act, which at the end of i've years automatically be- comes local ordinance. is repealed by four-fifths vote of the city council.
 Therefore. indications now are, that the city may have Hartford appointed supervising commission for the next five years and will be forced to meet, additional expenses for the work of this body. just as 1t has during the past two years.

(COntinued rom rage l.) the hospital cleared the streets at noon when a false rumor of the death of Marshal Joffre was circu- lated in Paris and abroad. The baseless rumor. which was an- nounced on the radio as allegedly official" news, caused Premier Steeg to drive to the hospital. The premier's chauffeur said the premier's chauffeur said Steeg had arrived go salute the dead." as a result of the false rumor. an an- nouncement of Joffre's condition was issued later from the prep1ier's of- flee for the first time. "
 The capital was confused by the erroneous reports, recalling that similarly false report of the death of the late Georges Clemenceau. wartime premier, was circulated "a Paris and abroad some hours before the "Tiger" actually died. The cor respondents in touch with the hos- pital authorities were informed that JOffe was in critical condition, pat still fighting hravely. ,---'
 In the meantime a flood of mss- sages of coincidence arrived for Madame Joffre.
 Members of the cabinet, including Aristide Briand, Henri CherOn an'l others, arrived at the hospital.'
 "We found Marshal 'Joffre feeble but alive" said Minister of Marine Charles Danielou. as he departed.
