WITHAM, Foot Ball Coach, the University of Colorado. BOULDER, Colo., October 26.—The increased use of the “huddle” system of calling signals in some sections this season raises the question whether it is a4 progressive and permanent step in favor of the foot ball offensive. The writer has tried both the hud- dle and the vocal systems. He has found advantages and disadvantages to both, but has come to the conclu on that against opponents he wants a yuarterback to use the all-important | asset of his personality in directing | the team’s offense through the mc- { dium of the vocal signal. The huddle system has its advant. ages. With it the play signal may be given in the stmplest and most direct terms possible, insuring that every man gets the signal without danger of the defense even hearing {t. Knowing this, the player will use every precau. NEVERS IS GREATEST GRIDMAN ON PACIFIC BY ANDREW L.

NTERSCHOLASTIC foot ball rivalry reaches its height tomorrom afternoon at Wilson Memorial Stadium when the teams of Tech and Central take to the ficld for their aunual clash, which.for a score of years has been recorded as the classic of the city championship series. Although coming early in the scason, the reopening of this femd of {long standing is expected to attract as much, if not more, interest tha: in former years, because of the fact that the two teams are in the running for the title and a_defeat for cither probably will mean elimination from | championship consideration. of cours ficalt to pick a team that looks stronger than the Army, guificance to its contast with Yale.

Opposed to these real or apparent points of advantag tem is what is manifestly evidenced in the commanding and dynamic person- ality of the general of the team, the quirterback, who snaps out his vecal signals into the faces of the defense and inspires the efforts of his team- wates to the limit of their capacities. Vocal signals bespeak confidence and drive with @ punch to the objective. There also is an opportunity to stall which is often taken advantage of in spite of the referes when the huddle 15 used. Furthermore, the system im- portunes too many quarterbacks, | which seriously interferes with a posi- tive direction of the team.

One man says the Brown trout s the logical successor, another sings the song of the rainbow trout, others even bring forward the native cut throat of the Rockies. I do not in- tend to enter such a discussion, for the reason that I think it is mis- directed. I do not think we should bother our heads about the “logical suc- cessor” to the little red-bellied war- rior of the crystal water. It occurs to me that we should devote our time and energies to doing our best to save the Eastern brook trout himself. In my opinion, he is his only “logi- cal successor.” There is no other trout like him. I have spent unfor- gettable hours fishing for the mag- nificent, dashing, golden trout of Cali- fornia, object of so many anglers' dreams, and I have caught rainbow trout in New Zealand, natives in the Ttockies Browns in_ Midwestern streams, but never yet have I found the thrill that accompanies the catch- und 8 Southern championship was conowrmed.
