} It was the consensus of these
masters of their subject that the
surface Of offensive football tao
tics had barely been scratched in
the IS years of the games exist
ence.
Recognize Facts
"We might just as we'll recog.
nize facts in the case" Jones said.
1--WE are just opening an era Of
elastic, slashing attack that is go.
ing to turn football games into
race for touchdoWnS. OF course,
the game was always a struggle to
cross that last line, but I'm using
the word race adviSedly.
players always had the right
by rule to pass the ball backward
at any time. But the old games
were matches CT power between
lines and tests of .peed and ability
to absorb punishment between
backs. I remember the tolerant
smiles that greeted frank Hin
keys efforts to teach the lateral
pass play at Yale. The old grads
screamed that all the traditions of
Yale football were being sent to
the bow vows.
"Of course, that affected the
players" continued Captain Jones.
They weren't sure of themselves;
weren't sure of their coach, weren't
sure of the SoundnesS of their
game. T ev were oc.ten repeated
ly and that just ruined them.
Look at Colgate
Lets look at Colgate. They do
everything but pu,' rabbits out of

Trey tell me that Andy Kerr Is
teaching them how to do that.
Eyes, you're right" said Dutch
Bergman, who played at Notre
Dame when Jesse Harper was
teaching Knute Rockne how foot.
ball teams should be coached.
Let's look at some of the posi-
bilities of the lateral pass and
what it is going to do to football
teams.
"On a sweep around end you
pull out guard, sometimes
coaches run both guards and have
the weak-side end follow. That
puts six men around the ball car
rier. Now if the guards fans out
and the two backs do the same
thing, you have perfect phalanx
for a succession of lateral passes.
Bob zuppke does just about
that over at Illinois, and has met
with great success. Colgate
doesn't hesitate to put three men
handling the ball. You have
lateral passes, forward passes with
lateral developments down field,
and all sorts of combinations.
Il can sympathize with the
teams that tackle all Colgate run
ners, hoping for the best. We are
raising a generation of football
magicians, whose dizziness in han
ding the ball is coupled with an
ability to carry out parts and roles
in deception.
Picture Burdens
you can picture the burdens
that will be placed on the de-
fense," interjected Bert IngwerSen,
when the offense is developed
along the lines it is taking now.
With the attack sweeping wide, it
will pull line and secondaries with
it. There will be feints and passes
and reverSeS that will drive players
and coaches crazy. But the public,
already football patrons, will love
the thrills that develop.
Coaches are fully aware Of the
trend in offensive tactics and you
are going to see some high and
fancy attacks in the next couple
of years. I think it is safe to say
that the scoreleSs tie is on it's way
out. There may be ties at 20 to 20,
or 10 to 10, but a team that can't
score at least one touchdown in

MiddIeburg Hounds Show Hunters An
Excellent Day, Starting Several Foxes and
Providing One Run of As Minutes

Middleburg Hounds went out
on Thursday, meeting at the
race track with william P.
Hubert acting as master in the
absence Of D. c. Sands and
Miss Charlotte holland. A very
unusual thing about this meet
was they had out 18 couple Of
hounds. 1t has been so long
since hounds have been out
on account of snow and cold
that they wanted to exercise
all of them they could.
First drew the Fred's place
to Black Swamp into Miss Car
ter's, to Mrs Fairfax's place,
worked her first woods, got
up a fox and lost in the next
woods, then went to johnson
Russells, worked his whole
place again back to Mrs. Fair
faX'S, on to Jim SINNERS,
started a second fox there, ran
about 200 yards, and he went
in.
Then worked towards Carriers
Bridge to DR.. Humphries' place,
to old Neill place. Hounds
seemed to find there but lost
Immediately. Worked through
Mr.. Patton's and here started
a fox on a hot line, ran straight
through to. Walter Vests,
turned right back to Patton'S,
crossed Francis Mill Road,
through Neill's place, back to
DR.. Humphries, again to Neill's,
in two circles over these two
places to Walter Vests, where
the fox went in after over a
45-minute run without a check,
viewing the fox several times.
The Master then suggested to
huntsmen he'd take the hounds
in as they were near the road
and it was late. Just after
they had gotten in the road
on the way home, Dudley, a
man living on Walter Vests
place, told Bill Hubert he had
been watching a fox sitting on
o stone fence. Apparently the
fox was watching the hounds
as they circled around, enjoy
ing the run they were having
with the mate, most probably.
Just then the hounds rushed
over the fence where Dudley
had indicated he had seen the
fox, the Whip got them back
in the road and they imme-
diately jumped fence again,
they were so anxious to get
away after the fox. Huntsmen
and Whip ordered them back
in the road again, showing the
wonderful control of American
hounds that Maddox, the
huntsman, is so famous for.
The Field went home in high
spirits over their good day. The
Master had given them wonder
full sport, the ground was soft
ening and showed prospects of
being in very good condition by
Saturday, their next day out.
Among those in the field were

Floyd Gibbons, newspaperman and
author. died at $50 a. m. today

an illness of several years.

reer that started in washington.
where Mr.. Gibbons was one of
the pioneers in chain store opera
ton, and extended over the mid
die West. From 1898 until his
retirement in 1915. Mr.. Gibbons
was in business in Minneapolis
and Chicago. 1t was in both those

the foundation of a journalistic
career that was to bring him
fame.

AmbaSSs. dor Matsudaira, Japa-

MatSudaira pointed out that. for

John D. May Restore
Saint Mary's City

First was called. Maryland, in.
cidentally, was the only colony
actually owned by a Proprietary.
More remarkable, therefore, was
the wise government of its early
owners.
The Council Chamber built in
1864, where matters of state were
discussed. has left a definite his
tory. 1t will be one of the first
buildings to come to life. It's
bricks, discovered recently, are
small, evidently made in an Eng.
lish mold. The shape and size of
its foundations are precisely those
of the Council Chamber at An.
napolis. Since the Annapolis
Chamber was copied from the one
at Saint Mary'S, it will be easy to
reproduce the original.
The governors castle, where the
first governor, Leonard Calvert,
lived will be prominent in the
restoration. The castle was built
in 1888. There is a feeling that
when it was demolished some of
it's bricks were carried to River
dale, the Calvert manor outside Of
Hyattsville. The date of the DEM
olition of the castle practically
comedies with the building of
Riverdale. Although there is no
actual proof that the bricks are
the same, their appearance
strengthens the tradition.
In the picture of the reborn
Saint Mary's City. there will oe
on Middle Street replicas of the
law chambers of some of it's earii-
est citizens, such as Charles Car
roll and Christopher Rousby.
Chapel Will Be Feature
The first Catholic chapel, in it's
second existence on the river
front, will look just as it did when
Father White, the Jesuit who
crossed the ocean with the colo
nistS, and whose records tell the
story of early Maryland history.
held mass there for both settlers
and Indians. The chapel, accord
ing to its foundation will not be
large: only 19 by 80 feet.
The Palace of Saint Johns will
be a magnet for travellers to re-
made Saint Mary's. It will be a
handsomer building than the Gov
ernor's Castle.
When the palace was built a
generation had passed since the
first settlers came. The colony
was proSpering noticeably. To-
bacco was king-a powerful king
who brought luxury and cheerful
living into his court.
Copied Court Manners
Charles. the Fifth, Lord Balti-
more. copied the manners of the
English court as far as the limita-
tions of his little Palatinate in the
wilderness would allow him. His
particular friends and the men
who directed his government were
living comfortably on manorial
grants of two thousand acres or
more.
The fifth Lord Baltimore was
the only Lord Baltimore who came
to America. Before his time,
Maryland was governed by the
younger brothers of the Propri-
etary. Charles, however, not only
governed the province we'll but he
lived in its provincial capital for
20 years.
Fort Outlines Traced
Nearby will be a restoration of
the old fort. The outlines of its
earthworks are easily scen now.
The fort was built while the
colonists were yet living in the
huts they had acquired with the
Indian village of the YeocomicoS.
1t was a big fort, put up
soundly when there was fear Of
invasion by william Claiborne,
