mark Of the conference.-the be q
passing team this year under gen.
ial, crooked-nose Tiny Thornhin.
Stanford pridsters will have lust
one goal in mind, no matter where
they are on the field. They will be
touchdown team, not a first
down team.
IN other words. Claude E. Thorn
hill, who played at Pittsburgh un-
der Glenn Scobey Warner, who was
the quiet and unmentioned ESQ
pound coach Of the Stanford line
Tor IL years under Warner. has re-
nounced one Of the Old Masters
leading theories.
Pop Warner, whose shoes Tiny
fills this season. was an inveterate
first downer He liked first downs
so well he tried to get games scor-
ed that way.
Tiny came out today with the
answer Stanford fans and alumni
have been awaiting Without CIV
ing all his ideas he let it be known
that many Of the Stanford grid
the Thornhill skull.
FIRST downs are of no meaning,
said the heretical Tiny. This year
you VIII see more open play than
ever before. Not only at Stanford,
but at California. st. Marys and
all up and down the coast The
safety first game is gone
Tiny has in mind a new fan out
of the huddle that isn't exactly
SHIFT but IS deceptive. He may
bring back the discarded one wing
back formation. He may use War
ner's old "A" formation. then vary
it to a hitherto unused design OF
his own. Passes may shoot out
from anywhere, but the Cards
won't kick after they are 80 yards
out from their own goal line unless
compelled to.
Tiny is going TO knock the black
hat and rabbi6 business out of
football on this campus. No more
secret practices He wants TO give
the team back to the students.
Tiny will dress his players up in
the flaming red shirts and red
socks Of old. No more white jersey
stuff.
Here's what the 1916 All-Ameri-
can tackle figures he will have
when practice starts Sept. Is:
l. Thirteen lettermen, including
six 1892 regulars. will not answer
when the roll is called
-. TkvelVe tetterman, including
five 1882 regulars, will answer
here
3. Coed backfield men will tum
BILE all over themselves, leaving
Assistant Coach Ernie Neyers with
his chief problem one of selection
4. The line, with gaping hole at
each tackle. is the leading brow
creaser.
If Henri LaBorde. regular,
comes back as scheduled, the tackle
situation won't be so bad. but he
may not show up. Ben Palamoun-
tain, sub, showed great promise
last season.
jim Moscrip, eX-frosh, and AL
Norgard. 1881 fisherman, should
fit in at ends. Don ColVin, Bill
Doub and Jay Tod graduated
All-American Bill Corbus will BE-
hack at guard. Ted Kite, his run
ming mate. will have stiff compe-
tition from Bob O'Connor, sub, and
Woody Adams and Larry Rouble,
ex-frosh.
II Bill Sim plays like he did last
year at left half. he will have no
trouble with his new quarterback
shift.
Bob Hamilton, smoOth-perform-
ing half from the frosh, has the
edge for Sims old berth Anything
can hapepn at right half. with
John Reisner. frosh speedster; Ken
Afflerbaagh two year iatterman,
and Bob Manetz trying for the JOB
Manetz, driven out before last mid
season by injuries, looked like
champion IN early games.
Tiny agrees implicitly with the
departed Pop, that young Bobby
Grayson is a lulu. Tiny shifted the
ex-Freshman halfback TO full. and
with his present weight nf 1875
pounds and his speed he may de-
Velop into one Of those au-tlme
grid heroes YOU read about. He
can kick. pass. receive and carry
the ball.
Grayson Will have to live up to
advance notices. however. Jack
Hnlman. two-year veteran, lost his
post last season Cnly because Of a
knee injury. Furthermore Stan An
dersCn is IN shape.
Tiny's worst worry should be his
schedule. The Cards open with San
Jose state. then meet U. c. L. A.
and Santa Clara on successive Sat-
uldays. Sept. 30 and Oct 7. Stan
ford then entrains for Chicago 10
play Northwestern Oct Il returns
to play san Francisco at Kezar
stadium Oct. q. then is off with
cut rest to meet Washington at
Seattle. Oct. %. Tiny tapers off
with the Olympic club Nov. 4, goes
south for the annual licking by
Southern California November H.,
lcs', All home against Montana
Nov. l8. and winds up with the
big game against the Bears in Stan
1Crd stadium Nov. 25.
