BY ROBERT C. ZUPPKE Football Coach, University of Tiinols, | Author of “Football Technique | and Tacties"” The generalship employed in a foot- ball game should be a result of the history of played games, the experi- ences and study of the coaches, and | the mastery of the sequence of plays. The experience of coaches, the style of offense and defense, the relation one play bears to another, and the formations which contain the various plays, make up the system previous to each game. The system determines the tactics and strategy to be employ- ed. The average spectator at a game is of the opinion that the quarter- back_does all of the thinking for the team as far as the sélection of plays on the fleld is concerned. Superficlally speaking, he does; he, with the cap- tain, guides the offense. The specta- tor forgets, however, that the quarter- back in turn is guided by the system and that all of the men plus the conches are part of that system. The system develops football brains, con- trols the football thought of the quar- terback and furnishes him the data on | which to base his generalship. terback to respect the law of averages and teach him discrimination between sound football and the *go. as you please,” hit or miss kind. They should assist him in selecting the plays not by merely telling him what and when to choose, but by fortifying him with a group of formations and a cycle of plays which, because they are related, implant themselves firmly in his me- mory. The kind of play that is taught, the way it is taught, the time the play is #drilled, the part of the fleld it is prac- ticed on, the backfield man which the play emphasizes, and the number of plays, are all cogs in the wheel that operates the football machine. This system should not be so rigid in its demands that the general cannot extricate it from a groove, but should be flexible enough to be varied from year to year because of the varying ability of the players. The quarter and the captain must be so much & part of the system that { they understand the true meaning of | every play and the part each man of the team is to play. They must know the why and therefore of gvery move which the coaches make, such as using play “A" In preference to play “B," and why back No. 2 is used so much more than No. 3 or'No. 4; and | why one should punt on the third | down nearly all ef the time against certain opponents, and why one should punt half of the time on the second and the other half on the fourth against other opponents. The quarterback should study a strategic map, such as is reproduced, until it is second nature with him to remember the kind of tactics to adopt | in different parts of the field.

PITCHING STAFF MAY fhhiiRs s ikt BE THE BIG FACTOR World Series May Be Decided by the Twirlers RS New York, Oct. §.—In their third attempt to win the world's baseball championship the New York Yankees will be aided by a staff of pitchers rated second to none in either of the major leagues. Herbert J. Pennock, lefthander; Samuel Pond Jones, righthander, and J. Robert Shawkey, righthander, have been the Yankees' three best bets on the hurling mound. Waite Hoyt has had a good season, finishing well up on the winning side and Leslie Joseph Bush, while erratic at times, won a majority of his games. Carl Mays, the underhand flinger, was not up to his best form and had little to do. Tt is unlikely that Mays will be started in the series, and it is prob- able that Bush, the fork-ball man, may be used only in emergency. Pen- nock, Jones, Shawkey and Hoyt ap- pear as likely mainstays and may work in that order. An interesting sidelight in connec- tion with the Yankee hurling corps is that every one of them first emerged to the limelight of stardom with the Boston Red Sox or the Philadelphia Athletics. Pennock, who led the American league pitchers through the 1923 sea- son, became a member of Connie Mack's Athletics in 1912 and remained with the team until 1915 when he went to the Red Sox. He was ac- quired by the Yankees from the Bos- ton club in a trade last spring in ex- change for several youngsters. Jones, called “Sad Sam,” played with Cleveland in 1914 and 1915 but 1916 found him with the Red Sox, where he remained until 1921, The Yankee tradesmen were busy again that year and “Sad Sam’ became a New Yorker, He wasn't at his best fn 1922, but 1923 brought him back to the top and he has done every- thing in the pitching line, including a no-hit game against the Athleties and some others almost as good. Shawkey was a member of the Ath- tetics from 1913 to 1915, He came to the Yankees in 1915 when Colonels Ruppert and . Huston began building up their star combination and has been a regular ever singe. His pitch- ing arm worked exceptionally well this year. Hoyt was taken fresh from high school in Brooklyn in 1918 and made a New York Giant. He warmed benehes for McGraw and became a Red Sox in 1919. Tn 1921 he donned a Yankee uniform and was one of the stars of the season. He owon tw games and lost a close one in the stars - of the season, He won two less of an in-and-outer last year but regained some of his great form in 1923. i Bush, a Mackman frem 1912 to 1917 and a Red Stocking from 1918 to 1921, hecame a Yankee in 1922 in another New York-Boston trade. He was a star of stars in the 1922 sea- son for the Yankees hut a surprising fajlure in the world's series with the Giants. Maya, with the Red Sox from 1915 to 1919, came to New York for the 1920 peason. " 335 HOMERS IN NATIONAL. ) Tast Year's Mark Surpassed by Five— 111 in American.

WALKER TONIGHT — HIGH SCHOOL QUARTER FOR YALE — OTHER SPORT NOTES ‘Illfill SCHOOL BOYS NEW BRITAINSBEST! ~ HUMBLED BY TAFT Disorganized Backlield - In & game which was featured mostly for the roughness of play, the New Haven Blues yesterday battled the All-New Britain eleven to a score- less tie at Hoffman's IMield, Numerous substitutions were necessary on both teams because of injuries, and a num- ber of penaltios were imposed for rough play, each team offending fre- quently, Dully, a New Britain lineman, was sent from the game with a broken nose, his having been the most serlous injury, It was a hig crowd that line the field and filled the bleachers to watch yes- terday's game, but it was not until the final two minutes of play that there was Any exciting activity, At that time the All-New Britain's, with Carpenter at quarterback, Tickey and Hammil at half back positions and Babcock at fullback, began a late rally and In o series of plunges made a rapld ad- vance down the field but the whistle ut short the play, with the ball in midfield, Use Three Quarters Yesterday's game brought out for Coach Dunn's attention many minor faults of the team and one glaring one —=the lack of familiarity with the sig- nals, In this all players were at fauit, The backs dldn't know at all times what the plays were to be and the line- | men were cqually upset. At one time the play called was a punt, but Barni- kow mistook it and Rurled a forward pess. New Britain sed three quar- terbacks in an effort to block their great weakness, Carpenter started the game and was then replaced by Dixie Griffin. Dixie was at a disadvantage and was ignorant of many of the sig- nale, 8o he was yanked and Kopolo- witz was given a chance. He started off brilliantly, but after the second play had to retire with a wrenched leg. Carpenter went back in and finish- ed the game strongly. In the line Hunt was a tower of strength and at the end positionsg Capt. Conley and Se- gretta played gilt edged football. Rogers also cared for his position in fine style. On the defense, New Britain was “there,” but was woefully weak on the offense, but this fault can be overcome if the boys will only put their nose to the grindstone and learn the signals. Undoubtedly Dave Dunn will have a few pertinent things to say when he meets them for practice this week.

A total of five first downs were checked up for the Hard- ware clty team. They made none in the first quarter, one in the second, one in the third and two in the last guarter, The New Britain team made the mistake of trying linebucks when they should have played a more open game. The line of the down staters was a powerful array of welght and skill, They made holes that aided their backfield greatly. Noéw Britain never had a chance to score with so powerful a line against them yet they kept plunging at it, and even after losing the ball a few times this way they did not realize they were up against a hopeless task until the last quarter when they played the open game.

New Britain tried a few {1ine bucks and then lost the ball, Walker punted and Quarterback Man- son advanced the ball to his thirty yard line. Then Warren, fullback, advanced the ball five yards through center. On the next play Miller half- tack, took the ball 40 yards through guard. On a trick play Warren carried the ball around the Red and Gold left end for a touchdown. 1t (Continued on Following Page) HUNTING Headquarters For GUNS — COATS — AMMUNITION MONIER BROS. 38 Main St. When a Feller Needsa Friend / { SAY -wwHose ‘BUS IS Tis ANYWAY- HEY ¢ HOW LONG DOES HE THINK HE KIN PARK HERE -- HEVY!?
