Not only are their points not well made, but thelr remedy would not remove the chief causes for alleged cheating and drinking. It would be just as sound to ask that examina tions be done away with (since that where most of the alleged cheating is said to occur) and with commence- ment exercises (where there is as much drinking as elsewhere) as to demand the abolishment of foot ball. “Foot ball coaches do not stand for cheating. It is one thing they will not tolerate. If foot ball overshadows studies, then it is because the pro- sors are not doing creative teach- ing. It would be nonsense to tear down foot ball in order to build up something else. The teacher of music might just as well ask that the teach- ing of drama be abolished so he can attract more students to his classes. “The professors who storm about foot ball do not observe that the diums scattered over the country are really the hox offices for intramural sports. Without foot ball there would be no funds to finance field meets and fes become the parent, or providing sport of college: Varsity foot ball has ever, the veteran coach believes. Chief among these, in his opinion, is the subsidization of pla by members of the various alumn “For alumni members to be paying bills for players and stuffing green- backs in their pockets is a positive evil that should be halted,” Rockne said, He suggested that this could be corrected by making every athlete reveal his means of support Middle Western foot ball, Rockne belicves, now has taken its place on 1 equal footing with the East as a ult of rapid development in the 1st decade. The chief reason for this, he says, is that the Middle West, unhampered by precedent and tradition, has taken up the forward pass open-mindedly and developed it.

Greatest Play I Ever Saw 1IV. CHECKING THE ARMY. BY HARRY STUHLDREHER. (All-American Quarter: Leacer of Notre Dame 1925 Four Horsemen.) HE Army and Notre Dame have long had a rivalry of the most intense and truly inspiring character. At Notre Dame it has been taught for friendly riva ry, but most intense. As a result of all this feeling, it is nothing unusual to see members of both teams making spectacular plays when they meet. I have seen many such plays, but, as I look back over the three years I was on the eleven, it seems to me that the most spec- tacular play of all came in the 1923 annual contest between the two. This game was played on Ebbets Feld in Brooklyn and drew the usual crowd of many thousands. That season both teams were in fine form end the game was one of the most even and sensational of the long series. Notre Dame had what was called the Four Horsemen, but the Army had some mighty players In George Smythe, the fleet quarter- back, and others. From the very start the spectators got all that was coming to any crowd. Both teams fought as if life depended upon vic- tory. Notre Dame managed to get off in the lead and in the middle of the sec- ond quarter was in front with a score of 7 to 0. Suddenly George Smythe, fleet, and a wonder at change of pace, dodging and tricking, got away from Notre Dame by a brilliant effort and started out in the open field for what seemed like a_sure touchdown, which meant a tle. Two men were with him to act @s interferers and it seemed that only a miracle could stop him be- fore he crossed our goal line. The miracle happened. It was in the person of Dutch Bergman, Notre Dame halfback, who also was very fast. Dutch was on the opposite side of the fleld from the hard-running Smythe, but, putting on all the speed of which he was capable, he crossed the fleld and dived over the two men running interference for Smythe to make the most wonderful tackle I have ever seen. The play was the quintessence of the spectacu- lar, and got great applause. Smythe made 40 yards on that run and, but for Bergman, would have scored a touchdown. This play, unquestionably, saved the game for Notre Dame, for it gave us added confidence and shook the Army. We then went on and scored another touchdown, winning by a to- WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER DITH McCULLOCH was crowned queen of the courts at Central High School yesterday, when she triumphed over Kathleen John- son in a lengthy mal:zlhox-x for the singles championship, winning by a score of 9—7, So closely contested was every point that it required two afternoons to complete the match. The fi played Tuesday afternoon. Miss McCulloch won the opening set only after each player had stood within one or two points of victory several times. The second set went to Miss Johnson, who settled down to consistent driving, scoring placements on the new champion for many tell- ing points. The third set was nip and tuck until the score stood 2—2. Then Miss McCulloch pressed forward for a 5—2 lead. Miss Johnson annexed the next two games and seemed on the point of tying up the score when Miss McCulloch came through with an offensive rally that netted her the game and match. Both Miss McCulloch and_Miss Johnson will receive mafor letters for thelr performance at the nets during the Fall tourney. Scoring in 12 straight games, Teresa Breen and Mary Kelso won the East- ern High School doubles tennis cham- pionship yesterday, blanking Mildred Offutt and Frances Gernand in the final round. The Breen-Kelso team previously had won from Elizabeth Stull and Janice Apperton, 6—2, 6—4, in a semi-final encounter. The new champions are well known both in playground and scholastic tennis circles. Miss Breen has fig- ured twice in the interplayground finals, and at present holds the cham- plonship, with Alice Brown, the two having won it as the Garfield repre- sentatives.

Hidden ball tricks are in the air again this season, what with Penn- sylvania and Georgetown bullding - their whole offense around them with apparently much success. Fans often read about such plays or see them for the first time with the thought in mind they are something new in foot ball. We remember them as far ba(‘k’ as 1896. Again in 1912 we saw Haugh-| ton's first hidden ball trick used against Yale—a fake forward pass. It would have scored had the field not been slippery, as the sole ‘Yale back the Harvard runner had to get by to end a deadlock had fallen to the ground. The Crimson runner, bearing down on him and carrying the ball, could not change his direction because of the wet turf and ran right into this prostrate player. That play has been the basis ot many since. Here is the way it was worked: On a punt formation the ball is passed to the rear halfback on the right, who takes a forward pass (Fig. 1). On the snap of the ball the right end rushes around behind himn. As he is about to pass the rear back the latter lowers his hand which is grip- ping the ball, so the end can take it on the dead run (Fig. 2). During the play the ball is hidden behind the rear half.

First, let us take up_the position of the end. On offense Re plays with his outside foot just outside the op- posing tackle, unless the opposing tackle is foolish enough to play way wide, in which case our end comes in closer to his tackle and at the same time calls attention of his quarterback to the unusual line-up of the opposing team, permitting a play at the point unguarded. The end should be about an arm's length }l:(l»lm tackle when his team has the all. On defense the end plays from three to six yards out from his tackle. There are two styles of ends on de- fense, the smashing end, who plays in close and tries to turn in every play; and the wide, waiting end, who is far out and who charges ahead several feet and then turns in to get the man with the ball. The end never goes behind his own line, but follows behind opponent's line, except when he s SAFETY <@>RAZOR halfback on a cross-buck cross the scrimmage line. Then it is useless for him to follow behind opponent’s line, for the halfback fsn't going to turn and dash to the opposite direc- tion. On offense the end is responsible for the space between himself and the tackle. It is his job to box the op- posing tackle in, or to block him out, according to where the play is di- rected.

STEP TO ESTABLISH PRO TENNIS IS MADE NEW YORK, October 28 (#).—The first definite step officially to establish American lawn tennis professionals in the competitive fleld will take George Agutter, instructor of the West Side Club, at Forest Hills, N. Y., on an in- vasion of Europe. Agutter and hié assistant, Paul L. Heston, will sail to compete in the French professional championship in December on the Riviera. Their in- vasion, the first’ of its kind in tennis history, also has for its purpose the gathering of data with a view to or- ganizing American instructors and the staging of this country’s first pro- fessional title event on his return. Agutter's move gives another twirl to the professional tennis wheel set in motion by Charles C. Pyle, who in- vaded the amateur fold to sign Su- zanne Lenglen, Mary K. Browne, Vin- cent Richards, Howard Kinsey and others for a tour of America and Canada. ‘While Pyle's activities apparently opened a breach between the pro- fessional and amateur ranks, how- ever, Agutter has been given to under- stand that the United States Lawn Tennis Assoclation would not look unfavorably on his steps to launch a professional association. Moreover, Agutter says that officials have in- formed him that provision could be made for a professional title compe- tition here next year. ‘While Pyle has announced tentative plans for an open champlonship tour- nament cn the Pacific Coast, Agutter expressed the opinion that only through an organization of American instructors, properly conducted, will the paid player ever be able perma- nently to establish himself on a sound footing in this country. Open compe- tition eventually would be an out- growth of such an organization, he be- lieves.
