William Leggett of Rutgers to g

at New Brunswick, N. j., Nov. 6

l thought about Captain Gun
mere and Leggett today when !
listened in on modern day foot
ball coaching school and heard Jock
Sutherland, Lou Little, Clipper
Smith and Dick Harlow lecture on
the theory and practice Of football
as it is played today. Had the two
valiant captains walked into the
room looking just as they did on
that day it all started in a Jersey
meadow, no one would have recog-
nized them as football players, what
with their flowing sideburnS, dinky
little flannel caps, stiff canvas
Jackets and tight-fitting knickers.
And the captains wouldn't have
understood word of what was 60
ing on. Football was a simple game
when they rode in tasselled surreys
to the playing field, but today it
stands shoulder to shoulder with
astronomy when it comes to hi
falutin' complications.
1t is at a coaching school, where
specialists of the game are the pu-
pills and super-specialists the teach
ers, that you realize off tackle plays
and reverse spinners of the present
Gay ar blood-brothers to the Elm
stein theory. The "block" once was
an elementary thing, requiring
nothing more than player throw
ing his body in the path of an
opponent. Today the "block" has
more phases than the moon. There
is the brush block, the reverse block,
the shoulder block, the crab block,
the long body block, the wall-out
block, the finesse block and-heaven
help the poor befuddled sophomore
the psychic block.
There are plays that call for each
of these blocks and the success or
failure of the play. depends on how
perfectly the block, is carried out.
Let a player make crab block
when psychic block is needed and
a conference championship may be
lost. At least, that is what i heard
famous coaches say as they paraded
ON and off the platform, filling
blackboard after blackboard with
intricate charts.
Quite a discussion arose as to
whether a back should make
cross-over step or drop-step on a
deep reverse. The argument was
settled when Dick Harlow of Har-
ward said that he had timed the
two steps hundreds of times with a
stop watch an that the cross-over
step saved something like one-fifth
of a second. On such things do
Rose Bowl bids depend today.

territorial defense splits" and also

Guiding "drifters' and "crashers

are planned tricks by which the
opposition is trapped into striking
where it will be smeared.
Play resistance was another
phrase that was often heard in the
New York Herald Tribune'S annual
football forum. This involves driv-
ing an opposing player toward the
direction you want him to 60 by
edging him gently II the other
direction. The theory is that he
will resist being pushed to where
YOU apparently want him to go and
fight his way in the other direction
and finally wind up where you actu-
ally wanted him to be. This is a
high form of mouse trapping, p"
which is. variant of "sand,bag-

the button hook" forward pass
and the intentional boomerang"
forward pass. The latter is unique
because of its simplicity. In the
intentional boomerang" the ball is
thrown directly into the hands of

too much mischief, and five
men hit him at once. In some
this pass is known as the

San Diego Padres, the Bench
Warmers choice for first place in
the Pacific Coast league are out
of the running. In fact the
Padres will have to hustle to finish
in the first division
Most of the experts have attrib-
uted collapse of pitching as the
reason for the Padres poor show
ing The pitching of the San
Diego staff, however, has been bet
ter than that of any team in the
league, if you will consult the rec
San Diego does lack hitting pow
er, however There is only one

And only two batters are hitting

Seattle's Indians, hot on the heels
of Sacramento and Los Angeles
stand a good chance to finish Sec
ond in the loop race and an out
side chance to overtake the. league
leading Angels :. 'Fsa
Seattle has won twelve out OF
fifteen games in its last two series
and has easy sailing in the re-
mainder of league games
Should the Angels collapse Seattle
would be able to step out and win
the pennant
The Bench Warmer not only
missed in predicting San Diego
would win the pennant but missed
in his guess that Len Gabrielson
would not stick. as the Seattle first
sacker.
Gabe has played in nearly every
game this season :. . And is hitting
above the 300 mark. He is among
the leaders in extra-base hits i.
One prediction that did come
true, however, was the Bench
Warmers guess about Rip Russell
. Rip has developed into the
best hitting first baseman in the
loop and can field with any of them
. The collapse of George Mac
Donald of San Diego was also pre-
dicted in this column
The most improved player in the
coast league was Joe Berkowitz :.
Joe has developed into one of three
third sackers in the
loop -. John Kepley, Ell Centre
baseball fan explained Joe's change
in playing style =.
Joe was only relief infielder
for the Padres last season and at
the start of this season He
was made to play shortstop and
second base E.. According to KEEP
ley, and on recalling the b.w. is
certain John is correct, Berkowitz
can make plays to his left better
than anyone in the league He
Is not particularly outstanding on
plays to his right, how
ever Therefore, third base is
his natural spot .
He feels better playing third be-
cause he plays the position better
All things following, Berky
hits better because of the conf
dence his new position instills :.
