North Carolina went down by 7 6, in a game in which Wake F appeared just as heavy, if not heavier, and just as capable. And. while from a general foot ball viewpoint the game was a complete upset, it is a fact that last Spring Coach Fetzer of North Carolina made the statement that if he could get by his opening game he would consider himself very fortunate he knew that Wake ‘orest had material for a fine team It remains to be seen, though, wheth- er or not the contest was true to the form of the two teams or simply was a case of the win r being better to prepared and conditioned at the time | of the meeting.

Stagg, as foot ball coach at the University of Chicago, developed many great quarterbacks, but prob- |ably none that ranked with the great | Walter Eckersall. | Stagg tells of one play by Eckersall | that illustrates the remarkable genius | of the player in doing the unexpected in the famous Michigan-Chi- ago game of 1905. Michigan had not lost a game in five vears when it came to Chicago to | vanquish the Maroon. It had a heavy | team. and had the intercollegiate high hurdle champion. Johnny Garrels. a wonderful halfback, who was. how- ever, only a pace or two ahead of other stars of the team Chicago was not expected to win the game, but Eckersall's uncanny kick- ing checkmated the Yost crew.

Its work in that respect probably was all that could be desired. However, its of- fensive work hardly was up to the standard of its defense or the veteran Holy Cross line was a stumbling biock that could not be removed. But Wwhatever conclusion the technical diagnosis of Catholic Universit Fame might lead to, one conclusion it inevitable—that the Brooklanders viayed about the best game they have ever plaved against any team. Washington probably did of a foot ball team be that as it may, it a decisive re.

For three periods the Durham eleven fought the Raleigh players to a standstill, but late in the contest the greater power of the latter told and a 14-to-0 victory was the result. Virginin Polytechnic Inatitate and Virginia Military Institute won their games easily. The former beat Rich- mond 28 to 0 and the latter took the measure of Emory and Henry by 6 touchdowns. V. P.

Cornell, Pittsburgh, West Vir- ginia, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania and Penn State won contests without diffi- culty, and all the big teams in the Mid- die and Far West also were victors, al- though California only beat Santa Ciara Dby one touchdown. —e- §Grousia has been broken for the Unt- versity of Pittsburgh Stadium, which will be available for sports by Sep- tember 1, What are some of the most striking developments and plays in foot ball dur- ing the last scveral years? Answered by J. W. HEISMAN, Coach of foot ball, Rich Institute, Texas. Formerly head coach nt Waxh- ington and Jeflerson, Pennxylvan and Georgia Tech. * k k% +A. Insistence of coaches that linemen get into the interference on end runs. This is rendered neces- sary because defense has so im- proved that no gains around end may any longer be counted on if the runner is assisted only by his backs. B. A slow but steadily growing recognition that it is more valuable to use the fourth man in the back- field either as an effective additional runner or as a powerful smashing interferer and bruising tackler than a small man whose main value to a team is his ability to handle the ball from $happer to runner. | C. More and more reliance being placed upon a forward passing de- | partment of play, which results an- nually in the presentation of beau- tiful new passes more and -more skillfully executed. D. Formerly a coach’s main worry was to find a consistently good punter. Now his “ace in the hole” must be something more than a mere punter, no matter how good; he must be a “triple threat” man—one who punts and passes and runs with the ball to equal advan- tage.
