Next Saturday Yale plays Army, which swamped Boston University, 41 to 0, and has not been defeated. Harvard, in defeating Dartmouth, 16 to 12, for the first time in four years. showed definite indications of coming greatness. With hope of beat- ing Princeton two weeks hence, Harvard will entertain Tufts next Sat- urday. Brown, visiting Hanover, can com- plete the debacle being made of a Dartmouth season that started prom- tsingly. Boston College alone has kept rival cleats from its goal line; Georgetown, with one loss, has scored the most points, 197. Colgate’ within a hair's breadth of consummation of a long-standing de- sire to trim the Navy, saw a victory snatched away by a 99-yard run by Loyd for a touchdown in the final minutes of play.

TWO ELEVENS STAND OUT IN WESTERN CONFERENCE Michigan and Ohio State Declared to Have Big Ten Title Between Them, With Majority of Opinion Favoring Wolverines. By the Associated Press.

Although these two have a decided edge in the running, three other con- ference teams still are among the pos- sibiliti including Northwestern, and Purdue. Plenty of fans are whooping it up for the Roiler- makers, who have demonstrated their worth on two conference battleflelds, holding Wisconsin to a scoreless tie a week ago and then coming to Chi- cago to give the Maroons a drubbing the last week end. For the last two seasons the Boiler- makers have just missed in a num- ber of games against more powerful opponents, and they have earned everything that has come to them. Those favoring the chances of Mich- igan, however, believe the team has so much ability that it is going to be a difficult combination for any one to beat.

NEW GRID PLAY INVENTED BY WARNER OF STANFORD OACH GLENN WARNER has invented a new play uj hich hi: Leland Stanford University players are now v‘\l'orykinpg?u U = The center doubles as snapperback and quarterback. He leans down in the line of scrimmage, pickes up the ball and then, leav- ing the line, passes the ball to a back while he runs to lead the interference in a slant outside or inside of tackle. It ig a lightning-fast play. The min- ute the center's hands touch the ball is the signal for the charge. The quar- terback on this play is used merely for interference. Some very effective reverses which the writer is not privileged to outline develop out of this plan, which in it- self is not easy either to dlagnose or to stop. Not “Covering” Up. When “Pop” Warner demonstrated the play for the writer's benefit and was asked if he objected to having it wde public in its general outline he ade an interesting statement. “No, I don't object,” he said. “I do not bank much upon surprise plays worked up for one game. It has been my experience that plays of the sort don’t come off. The only way to in- sure the success of a trick maneuver is to plug on it all season and have the team use it in game after game until it is perfected. If the strategy is sound in conception and put on without flaws it will be effective even if it has been scouted.” Right here it should be sald con- cerning Glenn Warner that when it comes to foot ball offense no man coaching today, or who ever has coached, compares with him. He has a strategical mind and his influence 13 and has always been nation-wide. For example, the scheme of winning backs now used everywhere originated with Warner and many another play and many another formation were products of his constructive intellect. Just now the old master is work- ing on a sweet forward-pass play, in which tw interferers go out with o receiver, the ball being thrown flat and wide. He may get into trouble with officials on this play, since it is in the nature of a screen. Screens are forbidden under the rules, but it is likely that Warner Wi ape it into a legality. *op” does not approve of the for- ward pass, belfeving that it is carry- ing the game ever nearer to basket ball, He would like to see it eliminated and the on-side kick installed In its place. But he recognizes that the great popularity of the aerial heave insures for it a permanent place in the game. Likes Short Pass. He believes the present tendency is toward the comparatively short, flat pass rather than the long, looping throw. But even a more striking trend, he thinks, is toward the per- fection of degeption in the handling of the ball and the objective of the play. Stanford this season will be found double and triple passing a great deal. | BRIEFS ON SPORTS By the Associated Press. The no-scouting plan has been jos- tled by Brown's defeat of Yale. Coach | McLaughry of Brown attributes the team’s success to knowledge of Yale plays. He watched Yale beat Dart- mouth. “I knew what Yale had in the way of a passing attack,” he said, “and Itold it to the boys at Brown.” William T. Tilden met C. C. Pyle by appointment a few weeks ago and was asked to turn professional, the American Lawn Tennis Magazine re- ports. BIll refused all offers, because he wished to aid in the American struggle to regain amateur tennis su- premacy in 1927, and finally declared: “Even if I were considering turning professional, I would not accept your offer. It would have to be doubled.” “It is doubled,” sald Pyle. imme- diately.” “No, thanks,” sald Big Bill, and that ended the matter.

The sixth week of the foot bail slates. season saw three elevens with clean Alabama leads in the conference standing, with four victories and no defeats, and Tennessee and Virginia Poly each have two wins and no losses. All three were to meet conferenc: e opponents Saturday in a continua- tion of the scramble for the 1926 Southern gridiron championship. Alabama takes on Louislana State at Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Virginia Poly meets Kentucky at Lexington, Ky., and Tennessee plays the Mississippi Aggles at Starkville, Miss. North Carolina and North Caro- lina State come together in their an- nual game at Chapel Hill, N. C.,, and South Carolina entertained Virginia.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, October 25—What Princeton did to Lehigh on Satur- day—and it wasn't so much—was much less interesting to the writer than the way in which the latest sportsmanship wrinkle as between the Ti?ers and Yale is working out. Tad Jones and Bil Roper, coaches, respectively, of Yale and Prince- ton, met in a golf game before this season began and decided that there should be no scouting as between Nassau and the Elis. It was a entlemen’s agreement, but in order to cater to the American passion for the well known dotted line a document was drawn up and signed. In accordance with the terms of this instrument no one in any way associated with coaching at Yale or Priuceton, nor any players, have seen either team in action. At Princeton on Saturday the writer found that Roper and his assistants knew but little more about Yale than they did about Illinois, and this little more was due merely to the fact that the newspapers have reported the games of the Elis at ter length than the contests in which the Illini have engaged. Will Tgnore Tips. Similar condition obtains, of course, at New Haven. There is something very fine, very inspiring about it. The complication of the well meaning but none the less pernicuous alumnus of one or other of the two colleges who writes in tips upon what he has seen has not been present, at least at Princeton, so far as the writer was able to learn. In any event, assuming such let- ters come, the coaches are in honor bound not to place the players in pos- session of the facts therein contained nor to govern their coaching upon the facts as submitted. As a matter of fact unless an alumnus, even one who has played varsity foot ball, is a man who has the scouting facuty and has been trained to the work, his reports are practically useless. Scouting is an exact sclence. All the plays used by a rival team are dlagrammed in the minutest detail. How the players stand and look and act in certain plays is noted. Not a point is left untouched. A former player, unused to scouting, might easily do more harm than good in any reports he sent in to his college coach. The truth is that not in- frequently regularly equipped scouts work out a lot of their dope from out- lines hastily sketched in the course of a game. Harvard on Qutside. With Yale and Princeton joined fn agreement as to scouting, Harvard remains outside and trained observers of both the Tigers and the Elis are at Cambridge every Saturday while Crimson detectives are at Princeton and New Haven. As to the efficacy of Princeton scouting at Harvard it may be sald that none of the Prince- ton coaching staff seemed greatly sur- prised Saturday night when the re- sult of the Harvard-Dartmouth game came in. To most persons, though, the game at Cambridge was an upset of major proportion. The Crimson distinctly outplayed the Hanover team in prac- tically every department of the game and forges to the front as a very strong candidate for late season honors. The Yale-Brown game was another upset. In speaking of this contest on Friday the writer, after picking the Elis, sald that there was a whis- per that the Brown elven had a big surprise in store for Yale. It was a whisper coming from a source which entitled it to respect. But facts as to Yale and Brown, based on their play, left no alternative to regdrding that whisper as something merely to be noted. Princeton’s form against Lehigh must have been most discouraging to | the supporters of the Tiger. The Jersey eleven was sent into the field with an equipment of six plays and told to get an offense started at what- ever cost. Once or twice it flashed, but for the most part it did not get very far. stars as Slagle, Caulkins and Wil- llams did not play. That hurt a lot. Defense Does Well.
