He remarkably fast down the field, can not be checked and slows down nics to meet his man. He has more po than one would suppose, is quite com- petent to handle the tackle. and, in addition, makes a lot of trouble for the secondary defense. Always on the move, he is an extreme cult man for the interferen to clean out of the pathway, and even Wwhen rcached he is hard fo put out. Muller . of California is most | deft man in the country in the art of sifting through interference and find 1z the man with the bail. Althou he begins by forcing the p in. owing to his weight and powe he is not content with that, but. if he gees his chance, shoots through thej protectors and snaps his man. Not nly is he one of the greatest for- ward passers of the country, but he is also a star receiver. His method | ¢ away with a jump upon! receiv the forward pass shows the <peed and dexterity of a back-field| man. i Treat In of Heady Type. Treat of Princeton is of that rangy, powerful type essential in the mod- ern game. But he is also particularly strong in diagnosing the play quickly and in never being drawn too far out of position, For = strong man, he is extremely fast down the 11 and has plenty 6f endurance. His heady p in the Harvard game was tha psyeho of gett logical factor for Princeton. and hisi hard charging is of the type taughtf by Cavanaugh. It was al<o his work that nted the most in the few plays which enabled Princeton to et up to the goal in b the Harvard and Yale i Thurman of like Treat. is fast with an intense fighti developed tol the extreme by the fact that he had to be the hulwark of an cee line and stand up ainst 3 pounding. On the attack he has beet obliged to do a great deal of the Work himself in preparing the way for his back field. But one feature of the Pennsylvania game has been of especial advantage to him in mak- fng him such a strong all-around man, and that s that his team has been . farced by eircumstances into using a varlety of play, ranging from ihe ordinary and reguiar to the spec- tacnlar and unexpected. This -is probably one reason why Thurman is so adaptable to conditions. His defenslve work was the great factor in holding down the Cornell scoring machine. | The Backfield Has Punch. Sehwab of Lafayette was, as of| old, the same exceptional combipation of power and speed. He Is a guard wiho fs never anchored and one of the leverest linesmen in the country in drawing his opponents out of posi- tion and in deceiving them as to th point of attack. His work, both o | fensively and defensively, has been Lafayetie's greatest aseet in the last two years. ‘Hubbard of Harvard was the out- starding mon on the Harvard kne this year, and he is patterned some- what after Sohwab of Lafayette, but has not had as great experience. He has_a& strong charge, with his feet well under him, a keen eye when he gots seot, and he is particularly clever on the offense in working with his center and tackle In making open- ings. He stopped up decisively the plays which came at or near his po- | Sition fn all his games and_was of ihe old Pennock type, which Harvard and her opponents remember so well. | Garbisch of W oint_is an ideal center in_w field of good men, and | the added asset of his drop-kicking | is the factor in his finally supplant- | that marvelous 45-yard | kick, partly across the wind and at a difficult angle, in the Navy gune,l made the three points that eventually, e things turned out, settled the | Army-Navy contest Hla passing is’ regular and can be easily handled,) and he has . -good jump, after and not while making his pass.

CHIEF FACTOR FOR GRID MERIT CITED BY CAMP One element of xsuccess for a foot ball tenm lies in their own ability (o assimilate the foot bal inxtinet and knowledge which dx to scif-reliunce and indepen- dence of thoyght in a critical and unexpected event. A team must be trained to think of foot ball xitua- ith the sume quickness and be required » decixion at a ment without the fatal hesitat- ini thought that he has not been taught (o meet that special erixfs. And thix all-Ameriean foot ball team has Leen selected with this face in mind. m quarterback position of the play in the Ohio St game was remarkable, and in addition in twenty-two running attempts he made an average gain of five yards in each attempt. Kaw of Cornell needs little intro- duction after his work of the last two years. To those who have not seen him plax, however, it should be said that he 'is the greatest all-around back-field man in the country. A com- bination of ability to plunge, run glant plays, cut in circle an end, kick or forward-pass would be enough, but in addition his defensive work is of the very highest and his ability to inter- cept forward passes is uncanny. He the Dartmouth Kipke of Michigan—I can hardly say too much for this sterling per- former. He is of a more wiry type :h:m any other backs and requires a it more care in handling, but he es up for this in his exceptional d and @odging qualities. His tepping is like that of Killinger, last vear's Penn State star. He is an cellent kicker and the best placer of punts in the country. He is also a_particularly dangerous intercepter of Torw: and liable to net a touchdown from any one of these. Thomaws Most Dashing of All John Thomas of Chicago has that rare art of carrying through his charge with his feet still under him, ready for a further drive. When he strikes he strikes hard, but he has still a later thrust of power, so that the ordinary check in a line does not s ard progre: He would be the most dashing of the three in this all-American back field. His work shone in other games, but it was par- brilliant in the Princeton game. It is safe to say-that he did far more against the Princeton line effective scoring than did any | backs of the east who met the Tigers.

PAY RAISE NOT OBJECT 0FTHEPLAYERS UNIN BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW = YORK. December 26.—The first object of the new Players’ Union is not to be the forcing of additional pay. The players wish representation in the government of the game. That has been their cry for years, although there never has been a concerted ef- fort to obtain it since the days of Dave Fultz. There is no doubt the players lack confidence in the government of the game as it is handled today. They hold that they are at the mercy of an arbitrary. authority which has as- sumed control of them since they signed their first contract. To some extent that ix true, due to the re- serve law, which now controls the working destiny of thousands, as compared with the thirty-two men which came. its ~ provisions originally. It is quité true that the use of this power has not always been just. Some minor lcagues have been “guilty of treating players abominably and that is_the reason why they are inquiring whether they are eligible to mem-: bership in the new union and Whether they will be taken care of “like the big fellows” if they should join. Minor league players are not to be barred from the new union, but it may be some time before they are asked to join. The major league play- ers will be glad to have the minors co-operate with them, but owing to under nounced.

Interpretations THORP-. TOPPING. Ability to stop quickly is just as important as ability to start quickly, and, to a large extent, this depends on the shoes. (S Many floors are slippery, and thick, soft, spongy:rubber soles. so basket ball shoes are made with Shoes with lecather uppers are much better than shoes of canvas, for they give greater support to the arches asd ankles. shoes. A player should supply himself with the very best of First, because they keep the feet and ankles in good condition, and second, because they afford greater clinging power than the thin, poor grade of rubber shoes. When two feet are planted firmly at the same time the player is brought to a sudden stop. When a_player is traveling at a high rate of speed and wants to come to an immediate stop he should make his fast step right or left before landing. At o come to a stop by planting both feet to the floor at the sa in advance of the other. Q. How far from the foul line? \. Under the mew amateur rules, 17 feet.

Q. 1t there is a held ball in ama- teur game, within the free-throw line, where is it put in _play? A. At the foul line. Q. Even if the held ball in the above question takes place between the foul line and near the end of cir- cle, say 5 feet nearer the center of the court than the foul line, is it put in play on the foul line? A. Yes. Q. If a player delays the game by holding the ball after it has been to an opponent out-of- bounds, is the penalty a personal or chnical foul A. Technical.

Columbia has cxtend- ed an invitation to the Crimson to engage in a dual race here, and it is understood that the Cambridge authorities look with favor on the proposal, although official an- nouncement s still lacking. The race may be the heginning of a rowing rivalry between Har- vard and Columbin. which have In amateur rules, at the start| not crossed oars in many years. in ni { Columbia met Yale and M. 1.} dunl races here last spring, may row the Infter again in 1923, but the Yale race has heen made a part of a trlangulur regatta with Pennxylvanin at Derby, Conu., leaving one date open on the Har- lem river schedule. The Poughkeepste and Childs cup regattas and possibly a meet- ing with the Navy and Syracuse at Annapolix are other features on the Columbin list for the coming seanon. 5 !FISLER, ONE OF FIRST LEAGUE PLAYERS, DIES PHILADELPHIA, —Weston D. (“Wes") ¥ December 26. ler, a noted 180 th- ;and first baseman of the original letics, died in a_hospital erd: He was about eighty-one and was born in Camden, N. J. He joined the Athletics in 1865 as an amateur, and when the game be- gan. to_grew in popularity he ac- cepted a salary of $1,600 a year. He was a member of the Athletics in 1874, when that cludp and Boston made the first trip to Europe of American ball players. P Fisler in his base ball days wore white cuffs and 8 eollar and necktie. He was known as the “dandy” of the diamond. He retired from base ball in 1877 to enter business, and was ac. tive up to his final illness, Thursday and the National Amateu for its first annual conference. Interest in the N, . E. meetir jtion of state units to carry out the | nounced as the basis for conducting | In sending out his call for the 1922 | meeting, Brig. Gen. Palmer E. Pierce. { president of the N. . A. A.. made the following suggestion for considera- | tion in the selcction of delegates: There has been some criticism re- tly that the meetings are composed largely of representatives of the -l education department. This ation was organized by college ents and professors interested iin giving intercollegiate sports their | proper place in the college curriculum. Due largely to the efforts of the as- sociation physical education has chieved a new dignity: professors nd instructors in physical educa- | tion are now generally, and athletic {coaches are not infrequently, recog- | nized as members of the facuity on a {par with others. The attendance of thletic directors and coaches is al- s welcome at our meetings, and we look to them as experts to guide us in framing decisions. On the other i, if they should ultimately con- stitute the majority of the member- | <hip and thus dominate the proceed- ssociation would become a { ing of technical experts {and would lose the breadth of view {which has hitherto distinguizhed it | and has given weight to its decisions.” Questions of further reform, a tight- ening of the amateur strings’ and the urging of institutions geographically work of the association are expected to be some of the most important questions up for diseussion this year. A short time ago President Plerce, stating the aims and ideals of the as soclation over which he presides, said: “I have long felt that two things are essentinl for the best develop- ment of college athletics. The first is faculty control in 8o far as neces- sary to make physical training and coliege athletics an integral part of the program of education. The sec- fond is the formation of conferences of colleges athletically related for the purpose of administration and | regulatory control. of intercollegiate sport.” Y president Plerce pointed out that since the organization of the X. C. A A, in the “dark ages” of athletics in 1905, great progress has been made in all matters connected with he use of athletics as an educational (zent and the development of physical education, us well as reforms in mat- ters of eligibility, etc. But, along with this improvement has come the great growth in the enthusiasm of fie publie for intercollegiate sports, a growth which has resulted in the injection of the problem of commer- | | ctalism. “Colléges are finding it more and more advisable to combine into groups for administrative purposes,” he sald. “In the United States there are some thirty of these, and the number is Increasing, until eventual- 1y, T belleve, all the colleges will be combined into conferences more or less large, depending upon the local conditions. All of these will be ac- tuated by the common purpose to im- { prove sports, both intramural and | intercolleglate. and make the great- iest use possible of athletics as an jagent of cducation.” 00D BOWLING EARNS IE CREAM FOR MANY From early morning until the mid- night hour the Recreation alleys were crowded with ambitious _duckpin bowlers shootiig for the ice cream | given away each hour, the fortunate ones being: Hyde, 1165 Wentworth, 129; Klein, 133; Kor. !mn. i33; ' Silverbuers, 138: Kaimel, 183 | Mitchell, '131: Noel, 141; Rosenberg: 15 Evans, 132: Schultz,’ 141; ' Wenzel, 134; Rib- i nitzki, 124; Booher. 133: D'Shants; 113; Wil- | Tiams,’ 136; Flynn, 124; Portner, 181; Vander- i lip, 114; Parsons. 136; nesa | 134; " Tuochic, 131: Bylvester.” 146: | 10: 16: Barnard. 119: Burhitt, 115 Burgan, 119: Re b{;uom 119; Dean, Sim. 128; 1 Down at the Grand Central the pin boys also were kept busy.
