r 30°" NOTRE DAME SPORTS. OFFENSIVE EMULATED BY STANFORD Cardinals, Though, Have Yet to Show Good Defense Against Overhead Play—Rival Elevens Have Similar Basic Coaching Principles. the Associated Press. N Dame ride into the Golden W Stanford Cardinals at Pasade EW YORK, December 16—When the Four Horsemen of Notre Jest for a post-season game with the na, Calif,, New Year day, it will be a clash of two schools having similar basic principals of coaching. Knute Rockne, No of gridiron teachings Dame mentor, is a product of the modern school while his veteran opponent is Glean (“Pop”) one of the pioneers of foot ball coaching. Both are aggressive both are versatile creators of the orthodox off-tackle play. Notre Dame is regarded as one of the greatest pieces of gridiron archi- tecture ever assembled. It bowled over a fleld of opponents representa- tive of every section of the country except the Far W ., and the game New Year day provides a means of comparison between the foot ball as played on the Atlantic seaboard and the game as developed on the Pacific Coast. Notre Dame Well Balanced. Notre Dame has defeated such teams as Army, Princeton, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Wiscon- sin, Carmegie Tech, Lombard and Wabash. The Hoosiers are excep- tionally well balanced, light, but ex- tremely fast; they are equipped with a rare assortment of plays, passes and kicks, executed by men all adept in their respective positions. The eleven was hard pressed only twice—against Northwestern and against the Army both of which were beaten by only ona touchdown Rockne has started his second team in practically every game and then shifted to his first-string backfield— Stuldreher, Miller, Layden and Crow ley. This combination has swept through opposition and has not been held to less than two touch- downs. On the coast, where condition is =& big factor, this alternate ar- rangement may prove of marked aid to Rockne. Stanford, with the greatest foot ball eleven in its history, has come through with only a 20-20 tie with California to mar. its season. The Stanford team is strong' and well rounded, but has lacked throughout the season an i to solve a passing attack. Warner, in charge of the Stanford team for the first year, fully realized this lack of a passing defense when Idaho passed Stanford off its feet and only lost the game when it fumbled on Stanford's one- foot line, the Cardinals recovering. Stanford Has Passing Game. To offset this weakness, Warner built up the best defense possible and then perfected a passing game to rival that of his opponents. the score 20 to 6 against them and bu eight minutes to pla the Car- dinals launched an ai drive again: California that was halted only by #the final whistle after they had scored two touchdowns and knotted the game. If Stanford throws the fury of its alr attack at Notre Dame it will be interesting to watch. The forward passing of Murray Cudde ford's great back, was for Stanford's tie with Cal Hey Hevers and Solomon Warner has two other star backs, while in Jim Lawson he has one of the best ends in the gan TWO BIG GOLF BODIES UNLIKELY TO MERGE| By the Assoc I CHICAGO, the Western itself the December 1 Gol sel —Although | ation finds son with Associa- | officers at the ght, an re o United tion than sult of the elected by the annual meet officer of the V oocasion to deny an amalgam ing soon.

James Fennell, who has served the club for more than 50 years in the temnis court, and his brother 4ack, who has been connected chiefly with' racquets, are retiring on a pen- ion. " James Fennell will be succeeded as head professional by W. (Jack) Groom, one of the most promising of the rising generation, who won the professional handicap two vears ago. Groom learned the game from Charles Lambert at Hatfield, and afterward became professional to Lord Salis- bury, a post he has occupied up to the Ppresent time. “Jiamy Fennell is one of the best knowr and best liked figures in pro- fessional tennis, and as a teacher, player and marker he has done much for the game.” said the London Morn- ing Post in commenting on the change. “He was born in 1868 and learned tennis in his youth in the dnys when the Thompkinses were stfll a power in the land and when George Lambert was in the heydey of his career.

Up to the present time athletic au- thorities at West Point have refused to adopt the plan by which first- vear students are barred from varsity foot ball, but with all the Army op- ponents following this rule it has been decided to get into line. The Navy put the plan into effect within the last two -years. It s understood that the rule will go into effect with the opening of another foot ball season and will not affect plebes of 1924 to the extent of barring them in their final year. Yale has particular fnterest in the decision, as the Army game is one of the big features of the Elis' foot ball program. CATHOLIC U.

It will be the last game for any District varsity team before the “hristmas holidays. s GRIDIRON COACH FAVORS CURBING FORWARD PASS By the Associated Pres AMHERST, Mass, December 16— Declaring that the forward pass, in its modern varlation, is an “evil” to the game and slowly relegating foot 1l into basket ball, Harold M. (Kid) gridiron coach at the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College, —sug: gests that a touchdown resulting from a forward pass score only three , the same as a fleld goal, in- ead of six, as now provided. He also suggests as a further remedy the eclimination of any run after the pass is received, thus allow- ing only the ground actually gained by the pass. He makes the point-score Bug- gestlon after having coached the best team the Massachusetts Aggles have had in 20 years, and which did not THE EVENING STAR, Much Air Attack Likely in Coast Game BELIEVE IT OR NOT. use the forward pass to any extent. CONFESSIONS VIIL.—HOW THE l ing how to teach others to play standardized technique will do the stant cry. As I have said, foot ball now is big business, and the coach follows the type of any driving young busi- ness” man_in a highly competitive business. He must be a resourceful, energetic man of the world, knowing many people, having good soclal and business connections and having @if- ferent means of accomplishing a de- sired result. . His graduate manager gives him the necessary llaison with the alumni, always useful in accomplishing the tmpossible. His scouts make up his fleld organization. The faculty keeps the whole business respectable and decorous by public—and, I am sure, sincere—pronouncements and fulmi- nations against professionalism. Know Thelr Way About. So it is inevitable that graduate managers and scouts—in fact, all of the really effective, functioning per- sonnel—should be of the same type as the coach, thoroughly sophisticated what they go after. The scouts, more than any others, get into the fast breaks of this game, and that's how I got most ofgny inside foot ball edu- cation. Here's an experience of mine which shows what scouts do and how they do it: Among the press clippings, supplied by the bureau to which I subscribe, {was the following: “Fraser of Farmington High School is the most versatile school boy, half- back in New Jersey. He can punt, drop-kick, forward pass, run, tackle— in fact, do anything any backfield man was ever required to do, and do it well nigh perfectly. He could make any college backfield in the country, and there will be many coaches watching him in action in the post- season game with Nutley for State champlonship honors next Saturday.” Started the Machine. Coneulting my card index—I am giv- ing this in some detall, as it traces in minfature the entire scouting game—I found we had two active alumni living near Farmington. I telephoned them for a report on Fra- ser. They watched him in action, and declared him fully up to report: sald we would have a hard battle to Jand him, as he was sewed up tight for Penn State. I was considerably chagrined to (The authorship of this authentic series is withheld for obvious reasons.)

Attending the post-season game, T talked with scouts of five other col- leges, all there to get Fraser. it was a brilllant game, and was won by Fraser in the closing few minutes of play. On some pretext or other, we all wandered into the lock- er room after the game, each man in- tent on prying Fraser loose from the other. He drove off with one of my rivals. Mesaage to Garela. Things didn't look very promising for me. In watching the game I made minute notes of Fraser's, man- ner of running, kicking, dodging and passing. 1 also got every possible bit of Information about him which I could glean in the town. That night 1 transterred all this {nformation, in- cluding the most minute details, toj my card index and other records. Then I wrote our head coach a com- plete report, in which I expressed the opinion that we ought to get this player if it was humanly possible. I got a reply by telegraph. It said: “Get Fraser.” You will remember that I was a paid employe, and this tolegram was a command. My first operations were the usual omes—inviting the boy to all sorts of college functions, all the time re- fraining from a direct selling talk and always being ready to make gen- erous concessions to the advantage of other colleges. But I kept som: reminder of our college comstantly before him. Of course, the others did that also, and during his senior year this lad was fairly beset with invitations to college basket ball games, hockey games and social func- tions. In the Spring he was taken by au- tomobile to two commencements and one junior “prom,” and was given & royal reception everywhere. I mar- vel that he managed to do his school work. But to my astonishment he passed all his examinations brillignt- ly and was graduated with honors, (Copyright; 1924.) opening game, and then an over- red against Columbia. big State universities.

Craig Star of Team. Craig 1s the undoubted star of the team up to this time, his long range shooting ' being phenomenal. If he maintains his present rate, there is little chance of any one displacing him at forward, but there are several candidates decidedly in the running for every other position. Day, Parrish, Signer, Kern and Hamilton are all high-grade for- wards, while Badger, Rhodes and Rule are leading candidates for cen- ter. Shapley, though he has played regularly at guard, may also be con- stdered for center. Capt. Leggett is likely to be kept in his place for his fine defensivo work, but Shapley, Jones, Graf and Flippin are all capa- ble and experienced. The team has an abundance of ma- terial, all the candidates deeply inter- ested in their work and fighting hard for . places, and some of the scrim- mages between varsity and second teams are more exciting exhibitions than the average match game. The team is fortunate in having Lieut. J. Ross Allen as its coach for the third season. Lieut. Allen devel- oped last vears team, which won from the Military Academy, admit- tedly one of the strongest of the sea- son. He is a man of original ideas as to the game, fine leadership and abil- ity to get the most out of his charges.

I was the pro- fessional there, having, in fact, opened the present champlonship course, which then was in its first year. He being ‘an active member and much interested {n the develop- yment of the links, I naturally saw much of him. i He had an idea that he could ‘get better results with very long clubs and had me make him some which measured 04 inches in length.

NCHBURG, Va., December 16—C. R. Warthen, director in charge of the pffysical department of the Lynchburg public s and about 20 years a physical director in Y. M. C. A. work, has per- fected a new athletic game, a combination of hool system, indoor base ball and Warthen expects to see indoor foot ball, as he has chosen to cali it become a favorite as the rules of the game are improved and player learn to play it. The game furnishes almost continuous action and there is little ch. of injury to players. The game is played on a basket ball court, with a foot ball, and an) number, up to a reasonable array on ecach side, may participate. The team in the field lines up back of the pitcher, somewhat after the manner of a foot ball team recefv- ing a kick. The batter faces the pitcher and the defensive team has a catcher. The pitcher snaps tife ball as a center does in starting a play on a foot ball eleven. The¥batter must catch the ball as it is snapped from the pltcher, and the ball is got- ten away on = dropkick, though when tennis shoes are used a punt is allowed instead of & dropkick. Backs Charge Batter. Four backfleld men, standing about 30 feet from the batter and behind the pitcher, rush in on the snap or pitch of the ball.. The effort is to block the batter in his effort to kick, or to make him kick quickly. After the ball is batted, or kicked, the regular indoor base ball rules apply, excepting that the Bases are longer, the longer runs adding to the interest of the game. A fumble or failure to kick the ball is counted a strike against the bat- ter. Two strikes puts the batter out. A ball pitched not /within reason- able reach of the batter is a ball, and two balls give the batter his pase. It the backfield men are offside befors the ball is snapped, the um- pire declares the ball pitched a ball. If the batter, after fumbling and allowing the ball to touch the floor, picks up the ball and kicks it, it is declared a foul, and if caught the batter is out. If not caught it is a strike against the batter. A base runner cannot score a run on a ball or a strike, but can ad- vance other bases in either event. Touchdowns Are Picked. Goal posts are painted on the wall behind the field, and a drop-kick going over the goal without having touched the ceiling is a touchdawn and counts six runs. It is also a home run and scores all base run- ners ahead of the batter. A touch- down cannot be caught out on fits rebound.
