~HICAGO, August 11.-An
enrolment of 500 in the
" Northwestern University
Foot Ball Coaching School
next week would indicate the
gentlemen who teach the art of
punts and passes have whole
heartedly caught the spirit of the
N. R. A. In the better years the
Northwestern coaching classes
never drew more than 800.
The increased attendance, rep
resenting every part of the United
States, may be due to the Cen
tury of Progress or a belief that
foot ball again is on the upsWing.
Perhaps a bit of both.
The Northwestern school offers a
very attractive curriculum to young
coaches. Howard Jones of the Uni
versity of Southern California, will
lecture on line play and there is none
better. Dick Hanley will teach the
Warner system while Bernie Bierman
of Minnesota, ana Col. Hunkling Ander-
son of Notre Dame viii PROFOUND their
pet theories. In addition Glenn Scobie
Warner and others will add to the sum
total of foot ball wisdom of the 10
day period.
The National Foot Ball Coaches As
ISOLATION will stage a Midsummer meet
ing contemporaneously with the school.
The coaches enjoyed their Summer
gathering at Pasadena, during the
Olympic games last year SO thoroughiy
they organized another preseason pow
WOW where rules will be interpreted and
ideas exchanged.
HEMBERS of the East-West all
MI star squads. that will compete
in a game on Soldier Field, Au-
gust "a, will be used to demonstrate
theories of the faculty. Thus the
student body will be given close-ups OF
such stars as Brown. Smith, Shaver
and Drury of Southern California.
Sunlmerfelt of the Army, Ely of
Nebraska, Zimmerman of Tulane and
Fesler of Ohio State.
Tug" Wilson. NorthWesterns di-
rector of athletics, SAYS the early sale
of tickets for the all-star game is
greater than for NCrthWeStern-Notre
Dame games and the Irish-Wild Cat
!battles are the pinnacle of interest IN
!these parts. Hanley and Jones, rival
,coeches in the game, have curriec
their respective sectors for talent and
have lassooed squads that are ali
America in calibre.
The nucleus of Jones Western squad
are Southern California players. so the
Trojan coach will start with the ad-
vantage of having men who are
thoroughly grounded in his style of play
The Eastern group will need strenuous
practice to catch up with the West, but
on a foot ball field. Dick Hanley can
spot Marse Simon Legree two touch
downs and win handily.
Summerfelt Welcome.
ITANLEY is happy to have Milton
II Summerfelt of the Army on the
Eastern squad. Summerfelt en-
rolled at Northwestern and was the out
standing star of his freshman team
before getting an appointment to West
Point. where he won All-America honors.
Il could have cried when Summerfelt
left Northwestern" relates Pat Hanley.
the Purple line coach ''and we are
tickled to have him back for one game,
even though its Just a demonstration
affair and won't count against Michigan
or Notre Dame. If we could have kept
Sllmncrfelt. what line We would have
had. with Riley, Marvil and Woodwork
playing with him"
Not the least interested in Howard
Jones efforts with the Western squad
will be Col. Anderson of Notre Dame.
The colonel has taken the dust of the
Trojans for the past two years and
comes up against them at Notre Dame
in November. And any ideas Anderson
may get as to how this and that Trojan
play is made to work will be extremely
valuable when the frost is on the
pumpkin and the flask is on the hip.
