INDIANS READY TO SHOW WARES HERE NEXT FALL All Except Question of Date Settled—Exhibition of Red Men in National Capital Would Meet ‘With Government Approval. BY JOHN B. KELLER. FOOT BALL game here next year between teams of Georgetown University and Haskell Indian Institute, sponsored by the office of Indian affairs and approved by President Coolidge, is more than a possibility. Negotiations for a contest between the elevens are under | way, and only the question of a playing date remains to be settled. While no official action has been taken by either the President or Commissioner Charles H. Burke of the office of Indian affairs, the latter is aware of the project and has intimated the gamne would meet with the fullest approval of his office. President Coolidge, who received the members of the Haskell team when it visited Washington after its engagement with the Marines in N York, is interested keenly in the promotion of the welfare of the red men, and always glad to offer the wards of the government oppor- tunity to shdw what progress they have made in athletics. i Those backing the project believe by the Catholic Unlversity quint in | the game would combat the odd Ideas g‘e llw(lz Blnrnkkiunl gymnasium. |The - ¢ have a % it rooklanders have been practicing | some have as to the characteristics of | gayiy wince the start of this week and | modern Indlans.

Nearly 400 games have been scheduled by lead- ing eastern institutions and additional hundreds by smaller colleges. Several fives already have inaugurated 1923- 24 campalgns and the majority will be striving for court glory within the next few weeks. Principal interest is centered in the intercollegiate league, composed of Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, Prince- ton, Pennsylvania and Yale. League play does not begin until January, but most of the colleges have extend- ed preliminary schedules.

SPORTS. 31 LIGHTER MEN BEING USED IN CENTER OF THE LINE Fast Guards Are Essential for Interference—Coaches Realize That Consistent Headway Cannot Be Made by Pounding Forwards. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, December 6.—An outstanding trend of the late foot ball season scems to have been missed. Yet a significance attaches to it that is very great. It related to the shifting of weight from |the center of the line to the tackles. Teams coached by the more alert and progressive gridiron thinkers, | Notre Dame and Pittsburgh among others, presented a center trio of | comparatively lightweights and heavy tackies and ends. In the middle lof the line the great demand from now on is going to fast guards, be- | cause the game as it was played in many cases called for guards in the interference. For example, Baysinger of Syracuse weighed only 178 pounds, and was all over the field. He was following the latest conception of guard play: ALL OF HIGH SCHOOL ‘FLOOR SQUADS BUS Basiet ball coaches of the five mgn' schools will get a direct line on | their respective candidates within the | next week. With Tech’s initial ap- pearance in the National Guard gym yesterday, ail of the scheol quints are | engaged in work-outs. | Although the Manual Trainers | were de: a severe blow through the | graduation of several sturs last June, |the fifty-nine candidates who report- to Coach Sotzin yesterday indi- cs that the Maroon and Gray will not be wanting In material.

In Owen's great |run against Yale tn 1922 Harvard guards and center were cleaning out tacklers all over the field. That's the tnew idea. 1t is being realized that no eleven is going to drive radically through a defending line in distant territory. The offense works on the defending tackles and ends. And when a de- fending team has been backed Into dangerous territory the center trio is always bulwarked by the secondary defense_ and o the attack still drives outside the guards. Hus any one thought that the scar- city of good ends this season was largely due to the fact of guards coming out of the line and helping smash them? Seventeen of the finest indoor polo players in the east will leave this clty tomorrow night for the middle west. topping off at Cincinnati for games aturday and then going on to Cleve- land to participate in a great indoor tourney, hich will be the main feature of the opening of the great auditorium just completed by the city.
