ROXBURY COACH
 ASSISTING ROOT
Bob Hall Aiding Former Yale Star Coaching Eli Yearlings

New Haven, Oct 12-"We are sticking entirely to teaching the fundamentals of football to the freshman squad" said Reginald Root, head coach of the Yale yearliDgs last evening. Good blocking and tackling are the basis of good football. The real purpose of the freshman squad is not so much to win games, although we want that, too, but to send the players up to the varsity squads next year with as thorough a knowledge of the principles of the Yale system as possible"
 MT Root is being assisted by staff of former Yale players, in- cluding Bob Hall, who is also coaching the Roxbury team; Stew art Scott, who was an outstanding end in 1926-27; and Tex Diller, who was a great tackle on the fa- nous 1924 team.
 In defeating the Exeter team on Saturday, the Yale freshmen gained and completed six out of seven for ward passes. The game showed conclusively that there will be strong sophomore delegation next year. which should give plenty of competition to the veterans for po- sitions on the varsity.
 Roscoe, captain of the Kent team last year, played fine game at quarter. Curtis, the schoolboy sensation from Choate, got off to some beautiful runs, and his per- formance was matched by Cum mins, former player from the Hill school, who made both of the touchdowns for the yearlings. In the line, Davis. captain at Andover last year, stood out at @ guard po- sition, as did Wilson, 8 former Milford player, at an end post.

Hagen's Carom Off Fence Ills Most
 Spectacular Shot

In the 1915 Metropolitan open at Fox Hills, Walter Hagen's ca- rom shot off a wooden fence. prob ably was the most spectacular of his career.
 He was in the running for the championship but had bad break on the 390-yard second hole of the third round, where he pulled his tee shot to the left, the ball ending up within a yard of the fence. Lacking necessary room for a free swing, Hagen could not play directly to the green.
 He studied the fence, drew a long iron from his bag, faced the fence and drove the ball against 1t.
 It was a perfect bank shot. The ball rebounded and carried 140 yards to the green, leaving him putt for a birdie three.

PITT MEANS POWER
 ON COLLEGE CRIDS
Line and Backfield Already Clicking for Army Game Saturday

Pittsburgh, October 12 - The University of Pittsburgh football team, which invades West Point next Saturday to meet the Army, is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful scoring unit to come out of Pittsburgh in the last fifteen years.
 In three games the Panthers have rolled up a total of 120- points against none for the op- position, with second and third string backs leading those of the varsity quartet in the scoring.
 Against this same opposition, which includes two major foes in Duquesne and West Virginia, Pitt backs have, on running plays alone, piled up total of 12S7 yards, against a combined total of 9 5yards for the opposition. Which indicates, that Jock Sutherland's aside opposing defense. men for its front wall is not only able to brush own backs, but can stop enemy sorties without expert efficiency.
 Fair in Air
 At passing the Partners have completed ten out of twenty-eight attempts for a total of I'll yards. while the. opposition has tried forty-three times sby air and have been successful but thirteen times, for a grand total of 181 yards.
 Most of the Pitt passing has been done by second and third string backs, the famous Heller to Reider ombination having been in action in but one game.
 Only eight touchdowns have been scored by members of the first team backfield. Warren Hell Ter leads with five, Weinstock has two. and Captain Reider one. Ten have been tallied by second and third string backs.
 To date Jock Sutherland's var ious quarterbacks have been lim- ited to six running plays and two passes. For the game with Ralph Sasse's Soldiers, however, they will be given permission to use the full repertoire.
 It is when Pitt goes into the double wing back formation With the resulting opportunities for spinners and triple passes, that its scoring power is at it's height. The Army defense will be the first to see the Partners at their 1892 best.
 Sutherland plans to concentrate upon a defense for the Army aerial game in his pre-game practices this week.

 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE (United Press Staff COrresyDOndent

New York, Oct 12.-(UP)-A suspicion that Ernest Hemingway has been employed to popularize wrestling arose with the publica- tion today of "Official Program: A Comprehensive Survey" (Madi- son Square Garden, 10 .cents).
 In clear, limpid prose that leaves you limp, this modest volume tells all wrestling follower could pos- sibly want to know about his favor ite pachyderm. Here are a few extracts:
 "Ed (strangler) Lewis-the marvel of the age. Has held championship five, count 'em em, times. The headlock glorifier, Jack Curley insists he is.
 Wong Buck Cheung-He is a graduate of the University of Pekin. He is very agile. He can take it till the cows come home.
 Benny Ginsberg-Chicago ter TOT. He is known as the bad boy of the mat game. He comes from Chicago. Invariably his opponents accuse him of using illegal blows. He claims he never used foul tac- tics. We shall see what we shall see.
 "Nick Contos-Greek favorite He is a young Greek wrestler of Rice Institute. He went to the University of Arkansas for a post graduate course.
 Sandor Szabo-He developed a powerful physique early in life. He is very strong. He is known as the Hungarian adonis from Hun gary. He weighs 210 pounds. He stands feet inch in his stocking feet.
 Roland Kirschmeyer-Ed Gal lagher Is responsible for this young man. Ed Gallagher is coach of the A. and M. college, of Oklahoma. Roland has been an apt pupil. Gal lagher did not send him on to Curley until he was satisfied he could hold his own with the best. A great prospect.
 "Jack Sherry-He invariably gives the customers a run for their money. Only one week ago Sherry threw Tiny Roebuck, giant Indian, in 6 minutes, 55 seconds. He ac- complished his task with such deft- ness that the crowd was bewilder- ed. He had his heavier opponent dizzy every second they were in the ring. He went to live with his uncle, Lew Sherry, in the Klon- dike, when he was knee-high to a grasshopper. The husky lad with the frozen pan has made a fortune in his chosen vocation.
 Bruno Gorrasini-Mussolino is pinning his hopes or him to bring the title to Italy. Those who have watched him in training say he is . great prospect.
 Pat McClary-'Californian here I come is his theme song. They call him the Irish terror in Los An geles. Tough. Plenty rough.
 Leo Macaluso-Hei Is the young man who brought undying football fame to Colgate. He played full back. He gained all-American honors. He like to wrestle. He has high hopes of tackling the reigning monarch some day.
 "Glenn Mum Nebraska is proud of this courageous young man.
 "Dr Freddy Meyers-He repre- sents Indiana university. Tn the west they have labelled him n corking prospect. He knows the game from 4 to z. He is n tough nut to crack. Watch his smoke from now on.

In an attempt to build fighting eleven to meet Brown on Saturday, Coach Nal Stevens and his assist ants named a new team in which only four starters against Chicago last week remain at their regular posts.
 Subs Get Chance
 Five new men took places on the team. Felix Hughes, was promoted from second-string fullback to varsity left end; Walter Kimball, an erstwhile scrub, was given right end; Joe Johnson, last years fresh- man captain, displaced Vic Malin at center. Hillman Holcombe was promoted to right guard although Willis Bronkie whom he succeeded may get into Saturdays game. Stratford Morton went in at left halfback, Bob Lassiter's berth. Morton and Lassiter are expected to alternate against Brown.
 Change for Better
 Joe Crowley was shifted from right halfback to fullback, and Walter Levering moved from full back to right halfback.
 The only survivors at their reg ular posts were Johnny Wilbur, captain, and Clare Curtin, tackles; Dud Parker, quarterback, and Bud Barnum, left guard.

HIGH SCHOOL FANS
 ESCAPE TAXES
President Spencer of C. l. A. C. Says Admissions Exempt Except in Few Cases

New Haven, October 12- Pres ident Walter B. Spencer of the Connecticut Interscholastic Ath- letic Conference has made the following statement concerning the taxing the admissions to. high school athletic contests, matter of considerable interest to school boy sports followers in Connecti- cut:
 "In response to several requests state for a ruling on the question of the government tax on admis- sions to athletic games, entertain ments, dances, etc, of public schools, we have received both from Hartford and Washington, confirmation of the fact that all such admissions are exempt from taxation unless a portion of the proceeds goes to some other or ganization than the high school proper or the association which Is a part of the high school organi- zation.
 "A specific example of a case where the admissions would be subjected to the 10 per cent tax Is the case of those athletic associa- tions or high schools which have an agreement with the owners of private playing parks whereby the park is reimbursed from profits (either percentage or equal d- vision) instead of receiving a flat rental cost.
 Tt should be understood also. that the question of tax does not operate until the admission charge exceeds 40 cents. that is, from Al cent up, the tax Is operative pro- vided any of the pupils inure to private individuals or organiza- tions. It Is not our understanding that applications for exemption need be made but for safety It would probably be wise to do so through the nearest Internal Reve- nue office. Very truly yours, Wal. ter B. Spencer. president"

 Mccarthy was reluctant to dis cuss possible changes next season in the Tanks. "But that doesn't mean we won't try to strengthen the club as much as possible" he concluded.
