vigy I B e PR SPORTS. — — FUNDAMENTALS ARE SAME EVERYWHERE, SAYS WILCE Famous Coach of Ohio State University Asserts Forward Pass Generally Is Coming to Be Re- garded as an Emergency Play Only. (Lawrence Perry, a recognized authority on amateur sports, who is on a three-week trip to visit Middle Western, Western and Pacific Coast universities, today contributes the first of a series of dispatches in which he will outline this years trend in foot ball tactics and prospects.) BY LAWRENCE PERRY. in foot ball as it is played in C There Middle Wes no longer a definite characteris n and Southern and Far Western games. OLUMBUS, Ohio, September 21.—There is no fundamental difference the various sections of the country. c Eastern game and Gridiron play has been nationalized, and methods and procedure diffe, in detail with individual coaches wherever they may be. So asserts Dr. J. W. Wilce, coach at Ohio State University, and one of the most thoughtful students of the game, who contrives annually to see teams in action in sections of the country other than his own. While he talked he was watching the practice of one of the most prom- ising lookin Buckeye teams since the days of Chick Harley, an outfit that most certainly will display speed combined with brawn and elusive- ness with power. And the practice of this Ohio team, the things that were stressed and things that were said, impressed the writer with one important fact—the forward pass is coming (o bhe regar ed more and more as an emergency play and less a part of the formal ground-gaining scheme. This is the case at Ohio State and, as a matter of fact, throughout the Middle West. This is not to say, howevér, that the forward pass is not highly regarded and that hours and hours of intensive work are not spent upon it. But it is to say hat the tendency is growing to reserve the aerial play for such time as the running attack is not gaining ground. It s pretty safe to predict that against stiff, alert opposition, where a miscarriage of the overhead heave spells great danger, many well coached elevens will not resort to it until they have exhausted the possi- bilities of their running attack. This is the more interesting inas- much as it was in the West that the air attack was first made a primary method of advancing the ball, Perhaps the success of shift plays is the answer. They are effective—and sare Dr. Wilce holds with all student of the game that the forward pa perfectly executed, is unstoppable, but perfection is infrequently achiev nd, besides, the scheme of defense against it so noteworthily applied by Tliinois and Chicago of so restricting the pass as to confine it to short gains, if any, has added to the risks of the piay. Y Deception versus power are the two cardinal differences in offensive foot ball, says Dr. Wilce, and which to use seems to him not so much a_matter of theory as to the sort of material that is available. The defense, he believes, has fallen short of the advance made by modern of- fense. This can. be adjusted, he thinks, by a deeper study of the nega- tive side of the game. Star Coaches in All Sections To Cover Foot Ball for Star BY LAWRENCE PERRY. arranged for an extraordinary L OOCKING forward to the approaching foot ball season, The Star has foot ball feature service, the like of which no newspaper hitherto has attempted. In addition to other features, including the writer’s daily dispatches based upon personal observation of teams at practice and in games throughout the country, seven of the most distin; ished college coaches have been retained to write foot ball dispatches through the season, and in the end to collaborate in the selection of an all-American eleven. Here are the notable foot ball teachers whose writings will appear day by day from the beginning to the end of the gridiron season in The Star: JOHN W. WILCE, M. D., director of athletics and head foot ball coach at Ohio State University. MAJ. CHARLES D. DALY, Field Artillery, U. S. A., who now is serv- ing with the R. O. T. C. at Harvard University, and is assoclated with Robert T. Fisher In coaching foot ball there. C. L. BREWER, director of Ath- letics at the University of Missouri. MYRON E. WITHAM, head foot ball coach of the University of Colo- rado, Denver, Col. ANDREW L. SMITH, head coach of the University of California foot ball eleven. HERMAN J. STEGEMAN, director of athletics and foot ball adviser at the University of Georgia. JOHN W. HEISMAN, head coach of the foot ball eleven of Rice Insti- tute, at Houston, Tex. It will be noted that the geograph- ical distribution of these experts is such that every section of the country will be covered each week, the prog- ress of teams noted, striking plays and inter systems of play de- scribed and analyzed and the merits of outstanding players discussed. No such comprehensive and expert compilation of foot ball intelligence ever has been placed before the public Dby any newspaper. Maj. Daly will deal with New Eng- iand and the Middle Atlantic States. The Pacific Coast will be handled by Andrew L. Smith, and Herman Stege- man_will write of foot ball in the South and Southeast. Myron Witham will view foot ball in the Rocky Mountain_region, Dr. Wilce in the Middle West, John Heisman in the Southwest and C. L. Brewer in the Missouri_Valley. The writer knows each of these men personally and in the course of the years in which he has been writing foot ball he has come to hold the highest opinion of their tech- nical knowledge, of their ability, first as players, then as coaches. They are all men of high standing, their judgment is shrewd and unblased and they have the faculty of transmit- {ing thought through the mediurg ot the written word. Each coach will write about once a week in order that every day readers of The Star will be able to follow the foot ball trend of important elevens of the country. Alumni far removed from their colleges will value this service, and, since intersectional games are now the order of the sea- son, reports of the development of elevens in the North and South and ast and West will be significant na- tionally. And, finally, when play for the season is ended, the All-America elev- en chosen by these experts, working in collaboration in bringing to bear their knowledge of players and play- ing conditions in the sections they represent, will present a truly na- tional selection. WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIE| S too much intelligence to become the Yet, while we do not belleve in signs—positively—most of us feel that we would just as soon play our tennis match without having the neighborhood black cat cross our path as an opening ceremony, and we frankly dislike to have referees make arrangements for our matches two or three rounds In advance, assuming that we are coming through. One prominent sportswoman of our acquaintance never allows “winning dirt” to be cleaned off her shoes just before an important match, and she always plays through an event in the same costume in which she won her first encounter—not that a change could possibly affect hil@ game, but she’s quite comfortable in what she UPERSTITIONS in sport are as varied as they are unaccountable.

Recently, 1 newspaper re- quested a group picture of a certain big league ball team that will prob- ably figure in the world series, but the manager declined with regret, saying that he never allowed his team to be taken as a group until it had clinched its pennant. Surely no one would accuse these full grown Ten of being a prey-to superstition— but there's an unwritten law among ball plavers about ‘previous” photo- graphs, which no one seems to care about ignoring. Personally, we know that there is nothing in this sign stuff. Neverthe- less, all too recently we broke a mir- ror just before entering a final ten- nis match, Obviously, that had noth- ing to do with subsequent events, but it rained on our first engagement (scheduled for the 13th), necessitating a postponement of several days. Then, it rained during the match when it was finally scheduled, breaking some important racket strings, and, on top of that, darkness descended before the event was completed, making an- other postponement necessary. To cap the climax, after leading, less than two games from the title, we had an unaccountable slump and saw the crown slip from our: grasp and rest firmly upon th® head of our worthy opponents whom we had twice vanquished in former tourneys. Of course, we don’t believe in “finxes” or whatever may be the plu- ral for that awful little word—but sometimes we wonder about mirrors, black cats and things.

The Epiphany nine took a 7-to-1 trouncing in the 7-inning opener and the Circles were nosed out, 2 to 1, in the final. Hile’s double accounted for the winning run in the nightcap. Lester Robey, who pitched both games for the White Havens, also ran his streak to 4 straight victories. In the 4 tilts he has granted an average of 5 hits per game. 4 RADIATORS, FENDERS MADE AND REPAIRED AW RABIAT R~ AUTOS WITTSTATTS R. & F. WKS. 310 13th ST.

John L. Grifiith, “Big Ten” commissioner of athletics, predicted that “foot ball will endure so long as there are young Americans who like a fight.” More people—a. million and a_half of them—wlll see the 56 “Big Ten” games this year then ever before jammed into the stadiums with which the universities are accommodating the ever-growing horde of foot ball- hungry fans. “The season of 1925 should witness foot ball's greatest triumph,” he said. “The game is better established than ever before, it satisfies the fighting instinct appeal that is in all of us, and every one Knows that every boy on the team when the game is being played gives the best that is in him. he Western Conterence wlil dis- play a brand of foot ball at least the | equal of that of any other group of | colleges in America. The Middle West !1s rich in boy power and it would be diffienlt to find anywhere in the world a finer group of young men than the 1,000 candidates who have registered for foot ball trial in the Western Con- | £ e colleges. ince the war seven of the con- ference colleges have erected new stadiums and the three others’ are { planning new play fields which will be completed shortly. The stadiums al- ready constructed are inadequate for the accomodation of all who would witness some of the so-called bg games. However, the public will be better cared for this year than ever befor 221-FOOT JAVELIN THROW IS MADE BY LINDSTROEM OSLO, Norway, September 21 (#).— Sweden won the triangular athletic competition here yesterday with 31 points. Norway scored 27 and Den- mark 14. Lindstroem threw the javelin 67.31 meters (about 221 feet), but it is doubt- ful whether this record, which sur- passes the world mark, will be ad- mitted, as he was favored by a strong wind.

WHEN BLOCKING KICKS. Rush directly in front of the kick- er's foot and leap high with arms ex- tended above the head in order to block a kic! The leap and the ex- tended arms will block many kicks that are over the head. It is impor- tant that the arms be crossed in front of the face and not extended straight up on either side of the head. The correct way protects the face of the player. Otherwise, a kicked ball may strike him in the face. All players instinctively shy from being struck in the face by a kicked ball. Once one is struck in the face by one he is ever afterward so shy that he will not block punts when in position to do so. There is danger to the eyes, too, if they are not protected by the arms on this play. Perfection in little points like this marks the difference between the star and the mediocre player.
