NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. "a.
(UP)-The systems that now pre-
dominate football have trend to
generalize the style of play too
much. Originality. creative abb
lily and imagination of the old
days are missing. There is moth
ing of the spectacular to cause the
fans to talk about and remember
over the years. Here is football
in the old days:
Back about 1896, Pennsylvania
under Wharton developed the cele-
brated guards back system, with
a great pair of guards in Hare
and McCracken to clear the way
extensively and do the tackling
on the line and ends. From this
system, the rowing center was
born of necessity. Guards of the
Hare and McCracken type could
not be found and were not fast
enough to get over to the ends in
time to tackle the ball carrier af-
ter the defensive tackle, end and
halfback broke up the interference.
In those days of mass plays, with
five yards to gain on three downs,
the guards back offensive plays
were good ground gamers.
The famous quarterback oaside
kick was a Pennsylvania product.
a good play on the last down. 1t
was short high kick Is or 20
yards down the field towards the
Sldeline and those backs behind
the ball were allowed possession
of it if they could get to it. Line
men cleared out the opponents on
this play.
Yale's system was built about
powerful crushing mass plays.
From it developed the modern
quick kick, known then as the
halfback kick.
The old Princeton system was
more like the present day ROckne
system than any other. It's Of
fensive plays were mainly on the
defensive tackle. A fast charging
line was employed. Princeton
developed place kicking and drop
kicking and Tyler, Princeton tec-
kle, was the first man / ever saw
kick spiral punt. That was
about 1897.
Strong, rugged men were re-
Quired in DartmOuth'S system. 1t
was a sturdy offensive style of
play. from which developed the
cross blocking by linemen on the
Offense, an effective way of open
ing holes.
Browns system was noted for
speed and tricky plays. There
were always one or two good half
backs at Brown; men of the open
field running type. Their delayed
punt to the short side when near
the sideline was an effective sur
prise. They developed the shoe
string sideline play, where a half
back or end lay near the sideline
after a play and the ball was pass
ed to him, usually for a long run.
Double, triple and lateral passes
were a feature of their tricky of
Tense.
Percy Haughton inaugurated
Harvard's system. 1t was born of
necessity. Princeton had such a
fast charging line on the defense
that no team of that year could
cope with them. So Haughton de-
signed the idea of delaying the
ball carrier in his effort to get
through the Princeton line. His
method met with victory over a
superior team. The present de-
layed plays, spinnerS, etc., are
products of Haughton's idea. Punt
ers in the old days were all side
swing kickerS, but Haughton
brought in the straight-away sys-
tenn now in vogue, in order to
place the punts.

Fourteen hundred boat owners,

Governor Withholds Decision
on Application of New Jer-
sey For Three Fishermen
MAY BE WITHDRAWN

Governor G. Douglass Buck,
Wednesday, after having evidence
on both sides of a case brought be-
fore him by the State Of New Jer-
sey, reserved decision on the
granting of extradition papers for
three Lewes fishermen, accused of
fishing in New Jersey waters with
out a license. It was intimated
that there is a possibility of the
New Jersey authorities withdraw
ing the charge but this was not
verified. The three fishermen
charged are Captain William
White, Captain Lawrence Brown
and Captain Henry Haynie, all of
the Consolidated Fisheries Com
pany of Lewes. Attorney General
P. w. Green appeared for the
State of Delaware and Robert Pea
cock, an assistant attorney general
for New Jersey. The latter was
accompanied by other New Jersey
officials. Captains White, Brown
and Haynie who fish for menhaden
for the Consolidated Company,
stated that it has been their Gus
tom for some years to pay the
New Jersey license for fishing in
New Jersey waters after the &C
tual fishing starts in the summer
They admitted fishing in New Jer-
sey waters last summer but say
they paid the license after starting
to fish and produced evidence tc
show they had paid but say the
license was never sent to them
There is apparently some misun
Outstanding in the matter as tbs
New Jersey officials now in charge
of the license bureau contend tht
license should have been paid il
May and not after fishing was &C
tually started. Tt is because o
the alleged misunderstanding tina
it is believed the charges will like
ly be withdrawn.
