Greatest Play I Ever Saw The Evening Star 1L—THE SUSPENDED TACKLE. BY WALTER ECKERSALL, CHICAGO, (“All-Time" All-American Quarterback and Sports Writer.) ACK in 1922 the foot ball elevens of Minnesota and Northwestern struggled to a 7-to-7 tie. It was a bitterly fought contest and one play changed the entire complexion of the battle. In the early stages of the contest Minnesota had all the better of offensive and defensive play.

However, Schuber took his place most acceptably and will prob- ably start against Michigan. But, at the proper moment, the big, blond back of the Navy is sure to get in the game and should be very effective. Has Good Reserves. Navy has a great change back for Ransford in Caldwell, who completes the octet of high-grade players. If anything, Caldwell is a slightly better line hitter than Ransford, and will nly alternate with him. Tt is the policy of the Navy coaches to use these players to the limit while they are in the game and make the change as soon as it appears advisable, The Navy has one of the heaviest and, it is belleved here, one of the best lines in the country.” Little could be desired from tackle to tackle, and Lloyd and Williamson are showing up finely at the flanks, with several good change ends. It is felt here that there need be no fear as to Michigan's straight at- tack, but that the game will hinge on whether or not the backfield will be though Hanneg missed. icking would be able to take care of the passing of Friedman and his associates.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., October 25 (). —Funeral servicege for Harry Greb, former world middleweight _boxing champlon, will be held from St. Phil- omena’s Catholic Church here, Wed- nesday morning.

[ seemed certain. € mations of the simplest varity and on! was needed badly. Each team was fortified with ex- cellent ball carriers, who were fast and elusive. Earl Martineau was the ball-carrying ace of the Gophers, and Chuck Pglmer was ziven most of the responsibility for advancing the oval for the Purple. As the game started, these two_ players were always in evi- dence and carried the ball three out of five times. Gophers Get Lead. It seemed str: therefore, that these two player: uld be connected with one of the most peculiar plays I have ever seen on the chalk-lined field. Minnesota had already scored a_touchdown and K d the goal ich gave the Old Gold and Maroon ven-point lead. Minnesota was on the way to an- other touchdown. The Gopher backs tore through the Purple line and off the tackles until the ball resied inside Northwestern's 5-yard line, On a third down, with only two yards to gain for a touchdown, a Min- ota back fumbled on the Purple rd line. The ball rolled over the counting mark and lay at rest for fully five seconds before it was noticed. Palmer picked up the ball, which had not be=n whistled dead, and started down the field. It was an early season contest and both teams used for- ly resorted to strategy when ground Martineau was quick to grasp the situation. He immediately gave chase to the flect Palmer and soon drew up to within a d or less of the Purple runner. With Northwestern rooters urging their star to run faster and the Minnesota contingent screeching for 1 to tackle his man, the two ran the remaining distance with only 3 feet separating them. Palmer crossed the goal line and the goal was kicked, tying the score. Penalty Would Have Helped. At that time there was a b-yard penalty for a flying tackle. Whether this had anything to do with Martin- eau not leaving his feet for his man is not known, but how much better it would have been for Minnesota had Earl made the tackle anyway and brought Palmer down before the goal line had been crossed. The 5-yard penalty would have been inflicted from the spot of the foul and Minnesota still would have held the upper hand. s 1t was, that run of Palmer's gave orthwestern revived hope and the Purple outplayed the Gophers in the final period.

Against Har- vard, in 1908 Jim kicked no 1 than ‘three. Pennsvlva a fronted with the need of breaking up this play or losing the game with the Indians. An odd plan was worked out to such good effect that Thorpe’s three trials from inside the 20-vard line were blocked by Manier, a tall halfback. Penn's right guard (A), center (B) and left guard (C) line up against _ their iimmediate oppo- nents, X, Y and Z (Fig. 1). Man- ier took a sprinter’s position about 5 yards back of his center and di- rectly on a line with the forward foot of the Indian center—in this case the Indian’s right foot. At the snap of the ball A pulled the In- dlan center toward him and for- ward. Not hard to do as this play- er had no foot forward on that side to brace himself. It was expected that the Indian guard (X) would charge the Penn guard (A). He did. That helped A to pull the In- dian center out of the way. Penn’ left guard (C) pulled the other C: lisle guard (Z) in the opposite di- rection, the Penn center (B) charg- ing this Indian low and to the side. Thus a big hole was opened in the center of the Carlisle line. Manier, the back, started at top speed on the snap of the ball, struck this opening just as it was made, went through like a flash and met all three of Jim Thorpe's trials for goals on his chest. Pop Warner couldn’t figure out how these kicks were being blocked. The diagrams under the illustrations show (on the left) the lineup for the play and (on the right) the opening made for Man- fer. This scheme is just as effec- tive as ever. It also has been used to block punts. (Cobyright. 1926.) KAPLAN IS SEEKING GIBSON AS MANAGER BY FAIR PLAY. NE YORK, October Kid Kaplan, the former featherweight champion of the world, will try his luck with another manager. Consid- ering the high place he won by the might of his fists and the sage man- agement of his home-town friend and admirer, Dennis MacMahon, it is rather surprising that Lou should ‘want to make a change. But Kaplan is just daffy about New York and wants tc ssociated with an from the bi wn. And so he selected Billy Gibson, who is con- nected with Champion Gene Tunney and managed the i of Benny Leonard as his Several ago the Meriden mauler was a big favorite in his home State. The fans flocked from all over to see him fight the best boys the promoters coyld import for him. And Kaplan was well paid for his work. It is a ‘matter of record that Kap- lan went to New York and fought the same caliber of boys for less than half of the amount he received in his home State. This would tend to show just how much he thought about ap- pearing in the big town. Kaplan was not satisfled with the few fights he got in New York and dickered with Scotty Montieth, who was then connected with the Garden, to take part in his management. Or course, Scotty was tickled pink and accepted the offer. Montieth lost out in the Garden and he was reported to have received $20,000 to relinquish | ‘hls claim in Kaplan. Shortly after that Lou gave up his featherweight title because he could | no longer make the weight, and set about annexing the lightweight crown. To date he has not done much.

The difference now is that all the surprise party of the Cardinals’ trip would be lost, because folks expect much of them in another year and theirs will be the training camp upon which the visiting locusts will settle down and predict all manner of events. For the first time in years Georgia will be without a major league team in training in 1927, as Ty Cobb has made all plans to take his men to San Antonlo. How Detroit came to steal a march and get back to Texas isn't known exactly, but for the last two seasons there has been an idea that Augusta, Ga., was wearing on the nerves of the Tygers. Some years ago Ty Cobb had a good start when he trained his team at San Antonio. He didn't forget it. While it may not be superstition on his part to go back to Texas, bear in mind that managers as well as players remerpber all the little items that might be grouped as hunches.

I the opposing guard pla; the tackle on offense can very well attend to the job of watching him. However, now and then you'll meet a guard who plays wide on the defense. Then the alert tackle should call for a play outside. This may find an easy hole or it may force the guard who is playing wide to come back in and be in a position where the tackle can better handle him. On defense the tackle plays 2 yards out from the guard, usually in front of the opposing end. The first thought of the tackle on the defense should be to break up the interference or pos sibly the play. Don't make it your first thought to tackle the runner. If you have a clear chance to tackle him, all right, but, remember, you are the man responsible for breaking up the play so that your half or end can do the tackling. The tackle never backs up his line, but follows around back of the op- posing line, making, double passes or delayed passes hani for your oppo- nents. On kicks and forward the tackle charges through to block the ball and rush or harass the passer. On defense the tackle may make good use of his hands and arms In breaking up plays and getting to them. Heo should keep a keen eye on tha opposing team to see if the end is dropped out of the line, making the tackle eligible to receive a forward pass. (Covyright. 1926.) SHARKEY MAY BE BOXER TO CHALLENGE TUNNEY BY SPARROW MCcGANN. iW YORK, October 25.—How about Jack Sharkey as a challenger for Gene Tunney's title? Ever since the former bluejacket dispelled the ideas that Harry Wills was really a menace to those hankering for the biggest honor in abiiity as compared to Tunney's. dpugilism, the fans have been speculating about his There are plenty to disparage Jack’s showing against the negro, as- serting that the latter was nothing more than an old man and a mark for a fearless and courageous young battler. This may be true. But it took the same Jack Sharkey to .show every- body that fact. It is an open secret that few heavyweights wanted any | of Wills' game. It is clear now that had Wills and Tunney met Gene would have knocked Harry’s head off. But they did not meet. Nor did any one see any other heavyweight rushing in to sign with ‘Wills, even with such high-paying promoters as Rickard and Fugazy straining thelr eyes to find an oppon- ent for the black fighter. " Bout Is Live Saver. Sharkey took the assignment prob- ably figuring he had nothing to lose. He did not, as a matter of fact. It will be recalled that in the early part of the year Sharkey met Eddie Huff- man and was accused of being chick- en-livered because he did not try to knock out the coast lad. The fans were off him and he seemed to be sliding into unknown spaces when up he steps and makes his showing against Wills. It was his life saver, that battle. There are some judges of boxing who think that Sharkey would have knocked out Harry had the fight gone another round. But the writer does not agree with this. Being hugged and wrestled by a man who out- weighs you more than 25 pounds is wearing, and it is a fact that Jack's rushes were not so sustained in the latter stages of the fight, and he ap- peared tiring under the negro's foul tactics. All the same he fought a great fight, and has to be considered among the leading heavles. Tunney, fighting as he did against Dempsey, would have stopped Wills. Sharkey’s leaping left jab and then a quick rush into close quarters worked well chiefly because Wills was not al- lowed by the referee to do any of his questionable stuff in close. Tunney Has Real Punch. Tunney, with his educated left, lead- ing up to his straight right-hand crosses, would most surely have brought Harry down. Don't forget that Tunney in his battle with Demp- sey showed that he has a real knock- out kick in that straight right. Tunney says that five years ago he figured out a way to beat Dempsey, and that was to beat him to his rush by that right-hand wallop, Every one who saw the battle will remember how he uncorked it in the early rounds and had Dempsey mellow thereafter.
