When Yale and Princeton met ast week and a year ago, the danger man for the Tigers was Jake Slagle. A year ago Slagle wrecked both Yale and Harvard by his masterful dodging in the open field. He has a stunt that young backs would like to know about so they can practice it before another season, as it is a corking scheme for dodging a tackler com- ing from the side when on an open-field run. Slagle comes tearing up the field like a flash (Figure 1) and notes a tackler bearing down on him from his left. As he propels his right leg forward, he turns the toe of his foot outward and strikes the ground on the ball of his foot (Fig- ure 2). He immediately twists to his right on that foot, raising his left arm at the same time in order to slap the tackler's arms as he turns (Figure 3). Slagle, by means of this twist, actually changes his direction at a right angle, thus pulling himself away from the tackler. As he does so, he strikes down with his left arm in order to push away the tackler's hands, should he be that close to him (Figure 4). The entire maneuver is made at top speed. It leaves the tackler feeling quite foolish, as you may imagine. (Copyright. 1026.) i POWELL BETTERS LEAD. Defeating Capt. Charles Wolfe, 250 to 137, B.

The combined efforts of several in- terests in base ball were bent toward the culmination of this bit of politics. Yet there may come a time within the next five vears when the Nation- | al League will wish the American to | co-operate with it, and as likely as not the American League will retal- fate when the opportunity offers.
