YALE TEAM SENT
 THROUGH INITIAL
 SCRIMMACE DRILL
Backield Shows Taylor, Crowley, Whitfield and Sandberg - Flygare at End

New Haven, Conn, Sept 19- Yale's football players were given their first taste of the hard work yesterday when Head Coach Stew ems, taking advantage of the cool weather, gave the Blue squad its first real scrimmage of the year. Though there was no attempt made to score, practically every thing in football was tried by the Blue and the Gray squads. The varsity backfield quartet consisted of Crowley, Taylor and Muhlfeld with Harold Sandberg. former An dover ace, calling signals. This quartet hammered away at the grays with all kinds of shift for nation which Yale is stressing this year. Taylor and Charlie Helm got away a few times with forward passes and were all set to score, but Coach Stevens's whistle halted them and the ball was returned and the hammering was resumed.
 Hans Flygare was promoted 10 the Blue squad yesterday and was placed at end with Gilbert Wright, the latter being relieved by Johnny Madden. The scrimmage lasted three e-quarters of an hour and at the close Coach Stevens expressed himself as well satisfied.
 The line from tackle to tackle was composed of Wilbur and Hall, tackles; Tyson and Rotan, guards and Doonan center.
 A strong gray outfit opposed the Blues in the scrimmage. All of the backs triedtoting the ball, and the starting quartet was relieved by Helm. Lassiter, Parker and Lowering before the session was over. Captain Albie Booth was an interested spectator.

KORAN, BRONSON PLAY FOR TITLE All ! WATERBURY CLUB
Championship Play Began
 This Morning English
 and Harvey Meet f0f| WatertOWn Title
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

George Horan, the man whol was not given much os chance by the pre-tourney dopesters showed the stuff of which champions are made by handing c. P. Chick Durfee a decisive and defeat yesterday afternoon to reach thel finals with Richardson Bronson who started play this morning forl the golf championship of the Wal terbury Country Club.
 Another Jolt
 Bronson, too had his big day yes-l terday by putting Bill Sweeney out of the title picture by the convin- cling margin of 5 up and 4 to play which served to produce the most unexpected result of having twOa young men playing for the title \ who were not even remotely con- sidered as fina1ists when the tour-I na began. In winning over Dur fee. Horan just played his charac-I teristic steady game shooting a 36,l one over par to Durfee's 43 on the outgoing nine. though Chick made a fight of it in coming home, the match ending on the 18th hole, when Horan matched Durfee's par 4.
 Bronson shot beautiful 37, twol over par to Sweeney's40 to finish 3l up at the turn. A 23 for the next five holes to his opponents 26 gavel Bronson the match. Today's titularl battle is even. but Horan now has, plenty of packers who have realized the steadiness of his play. bolsteredl by strain of confidence that is al most valuable asset. The finalists. play 36 holes starting at 10 a. m.s today.

backs when they are not actually in possession of the ball. The man with the ball digs as fast as he can go and 1t is up to the rest of the team to get out of his way and get the opposition out of his path. One writer after the 1880 Pittsburg game said that Schwartz reached the line of scrim- mage on a reverse play faster than Pitts men were getting there on straight line bucks.
 This great speed is an aid to blocking. On slower teams, block CTS have to hold their men out of the play for longer time and make a more complete block. In the Notre Dame system, however, the blocker merely has to hit his man hard once, the play speeds by, and it doesn't matter whether the victim becomes free again or not.
 Tricky Plays Now And Then.
 Deceptiveness enters the Rockne system, but it Is not a vital ad- junct. Almost all of Notre Danes victories under Rockne were won on straight football. Occasionally a long pass will do the trick. The team is equipped with three or four particularly, baffling touchdown plays for use in scoring territory, but since every play is a potential touchdown and as many scores come from mid-field as from the 10-yard line, team may go through an entire season without delving into this special bag of tricks.
 To Rockne's old axiom that "the price of success is eternal vigil ance" you might add. "and eternal practice" Every varsity man must know his assignments perfectly. The smallest detail of pivot, spin or shift must be second nature.
 Lineman may work for weeks perfecting the weaving motion of their heads which enables them to throw their opponents off balance.
 Quarterbacks must know the qualifications of each man who is likely to see action; what plays he likes, which ones will not work with him in the lineup.
 Versatility of backs is another factor which has helped Notre Dame greatly on the gridiron. Each of the four must know his and his mates assignments, each must be a ball-carrier, a blocker, passer and pass receiver and somewhat of kicker, even though he may never be called upon to ex- ercise this latter talent in a game. But all must be fast.
 This article has dealt mainly with the mechanics of Notre Dame football. Add to them the power Rockne had over young man, the oft-proved slogan that "when the going gets tough Notre Dame gets tougher" and the fact that condi- tions are ideal at Notre Dame for the development of athletics, and you have more than a haf-answer to the question of what has made Notre Dame great.
 With the memory of Rockne the players of 1881 may be depend ed upon to do their best in every game

 N. H. TRIANGLES

New Haven. September 19 - It looks as though that Nagle . Carton combine. in charge of the Triangles football team. is doing everything possible to give local followers of the pigskin game the hest available team at Donovan Field. Rumors persisted last eve- ming that Johnny Garvey, former Yale star and one of the greatest triple threat men the Ellis ever had would very shortly sign to play with the Triangles. If this deal goes through 1t will mean the locals will have a backheld equal to that of many of the major League gridders. with Caldwell. Mclean and King rounding out the combination.

THREE PUNCHED FOR NATIONALS
 BATTING LEAD
Terry, Bottomley, Klein Less Than One Point Apart = Gehrig Leads Home Run Parade
By DIXON STEWART United Press Stan Corresponde

\CAAeCu IEC5S 0tuh SONECSpOhuCutJ New York, Sept 19.-CUP)- Sunny Jim" Bottomley, St Louis first baseman, is one of those irre- pressible good men.
 Considered. washed up' and al the end of his major league career after a miserable showing in the 1880 world series and relegated to the bench for many weeks this season while a rookie played his position, Bottomley has battled back to stardom and now looms as threat for the National league batting championship.
 Statistics released to-day and in- cluding games of Thursday, Sep tember IT, show Bottomley in sec- ond place only fraction of a point behind Bill Terry, New York Giants first baseman and 1890 Ma tional league batting champion. Chuck Klein, Phillies outfielder, is in third place also less than a full point behind Terry, the standing being as follows:
 Player AB R H PC. Terry, N. Y. ...587 115 2O1 .3424 Bottomley, St L. 354 67 121 .341s Klein, Phila ...565 120 193 .3415
 While the National league race has developed into a free-for-all the American league features a two-way fight between Al Simmons of Philadelphia, 1880 champion, and Babe Ruth, Yankees home run star. Simmons continues to hold the lead with 1881 average but Ruth is only six points behind. No other player is conceded a chance to overtake the leaders, Eddie Nor gan of Cleveland beine in third place with 1855, followed by Lou Gehrig of the Yankees and Coch- rane of the Athletics at .345.
