DAILY SPORTS CARTOON el e 1/1».) Mt 3 — A FORMER plot has thickened since the | football sleuths began to debate the! crigin of the famous “ball-hidden-, under-the-jersey” trick,” widely ai-{ tributed to the inventive mind of| the Old Fox, Glenn Scobey War-| ner. i Following documentary evidence we ntly received, showing War- ner tried this play while coach-| #ing Cornell in a game against Penn | ate in 1897, facts have been for-| warded to me by William T. Chris- | tian, sports editor of the Richmond- News Leader, disclosing that Au- burn used the maneuver suc-) cessfully against Vanderbilt in 1895. Rival cartoonists, it seems, helpad stimulate the debate, for Christian| writes as follows: H “Strange as it seems, the man/| who disputes Warner’s claim to the creation of the play was depicted r in John Hix's column. The day| after Ripley quoted Warner, Rey- nolds Tichenor, 116-pound quarter- back who made the All-Southern three years in succession, while playing with Auburn, was shown in Hix's cartoon. “Fuzzy Woodruff’s Southern Football, Vol. history o 1, quotes Tichenor, now an Atlanta lawyer, ¥as follows: ; ““The play was simply this. ‘When the ball was snapped it went to a halfback. The play was closely massed and well screened. The half back then thrust the ball under the back of my jersey. Then he would crash into the line. After the play I simply trotted away to a touchdown.” “The play, after being practiced, was used by Auburn against Van- derbilt and Tichenor scored a touchdown. Vanderbilt won, how- ever, 9-6, the first time in the his- tory of southern football that a field goal decided a game. “All that, according to Wood- ruff, the newspapers of the time, Tichenor and H. H. Smith, a Rich- mond business man, who played half-back, happened in the fall of 1895, at least two years before Warner claims to have used the play. And Warner was then coach- ‘.2 at Georgia, where he no doubt heard of its use. “Believe it or not, strange as it secms, Ripley had Warner calling the hidden ball trick his creation. and the most unusual fcotball play; John Hix had a drawing of Tich- enor, who also claims to be its criginater; and Mr. Smith, Tiche- , nor's team-mate, set me straight in the whole matter, all inside a week althcugh it happc_ned more than thirty years ago.” All the hue and cry about col- lege sport over-emphasis is very annoying to a number of the old- timers, among them Elmer Oli- phant, regarded by many discerning coaches, including Biff Jones and Knute Rockne, as one of the four or five greatest backfield men the game has produced. Oliphant, now an insurancc calesman in-New York, insists that it is “all tha bunk;” that he got nothing bu! benefit, physically anc LA A GOVICH \’QHN '5 - BROOKLYN MAIN REASON WHY INDIANS ARE SETTING CONSECOTVE § GAMES K d (REEMAN, COURT S7ArR.

This warehouse contained 6,000 bales of hops and 1,000 tons of paper. The fice was so intense tha, the concrete walls crumbled under the tremendous heat and collapsed. The roar- ing updraft from the fire carried showers of burning embers to the roofs for blocks around, most of which were covered with cedar shingles. No secondary fires resulted. — (Reprint from Lumber Bulletin.)
