FootBallFacts THE NEXT PLAY DETERMINED BY * TO PLAY How can a dcfensive team often ! figure out in advance what plays the offensive team will use? Answered by KNUTE ROCKNE. Coach of foot ball, Notre Dame versity. Famous for his fighting teams, beaten only twice In last four years. * % % % A defensive team can often solve the offense in advance by keeping in mind the down, yards to gain, posi tion on the field, score, and amount of time left to play. For instance, if the offense have third down, one yard to gain near defensive goal line, plenty of time to play, even score, it will not be likely that a sweep or pass will be used. On the other hand, with third down and ten yards to gain, there would not be much chance of their using a thrust through center. (Copyright, 1923. HEAVY CHAMPIONS DO NOT LAST LONG BY FAIR PLAY.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 27.— Harvard defeated Dartmouth at soc- cer here by the score of 2 to 1. THE QUESTION. Why do most foot ball teams run a play out-of= bounds when they have pos- session of the ball along one of the sidelines? In the second place, a team making a slight gain at this point does not get itself out of the cramped position it is in. Now if a team has the ball near the side line, and does not run a play out' of bounds the chances are very much against it gaining a first down in three plays. Consequently, it has to punt. A team punt‘ng from near a side line is taking unnecessary risks. More men may be used to block such 2 punt, and a punt from this position also is more likely to go out of bounds but a short distance from where it is kicked. That would mean the opponents would have the ball many yards closer to your goal line than would be the case if an average length punt were gotten off. Teams prefer wasting a play near the side lines in order to get out of boun as a runner going out of bounds means they can bring the ball in from the side lines fifteen yards for the next down. From statistics available it is a fact that a team near the side lines cannot gain as much ground on four plays as it gains at midfield on three. In ‘addition, the team In this latter . position can kick or forward pass’ far more effectively. (Copyright, 1023.) BASKETERS TO MEET.

In 1907 and 1908 the Cubs defeated | the Tygers for the world champlon- ship and in 1910 the famous machine, then going to pieces, won its last National League flag and was out- classed by the Athletics in the world series.

From 1914 until iast spring Chance remained out of base ball except for a year with the Los Angeles club. He accepted the management of the Bos- ton Red Sox last winter, but was re- leased before the 1923 season was completed. His contract was only for one year, however, and his release was not due to any dissatisfactian over his work.

St. Louls probably will continue to deny that Hornsby is to go. Indeed, there may not be any present inten- tion of getting rid of him. But minds the moon—and some times oftener. If the Cardinals should pass him on, they would weaken themselves with the league, and prob- ably with their patrons. But if Hornsby is going to sit around with Lis nose elevated in a fit of the sulks he is not likely to play much ball Maybe, if he has become a chronic sulker, he would not play great ball for anybody long. Too much yawplag about the value of Hornsby and too much solicitude about his welfare by base ball folks other than those of St. Louis have prevented that young man from be- coming the great player that he | might have been had he possessed the boyish enthusiasm that animates Babe Ruth. Admitting that the latter, who is the American League's most magnetic plum, has done some things that he might better have left undone (he ad- mits it himself), there is a grace of manner and an atmosphere about him that is genuine, and the common peo- ple like him. The boys think of him in terms of a big boy—a naughty bo: now and then, but nevertheless, lovable one. Attitude of Hornsby. Hornsby, on the other hand, h: moped himself into a misanthrope, He believes that he is a rose wasted in a fleld of wild celery and he does not give the spectators any noton that he enjoys base ball or anything else. It's a pity that his greatness was thrust upon him by managers, rather than by his own exertions. The price of $260,000 which was given out in St. Louis as having been offered for him was neither diplo- matic nor businessiike. It busted things up both ways in St. Louis. It gave Hornsby a highly inflated sense of his own importance, and {t fre- quently gave the St. Louls fans the feeling that if Hornsby was worth $250,000, the St. Louis club was get- ting only about one two-hundred-and- fiftieth of what was coming to it. Still, if Hornsby goes into the open market, which St. Louis says he wont ew York will never let him escape without a bid. And if the National League clubs should go to bidding for him, the league would catch “ginney” from the fans of St. Louls.
