Popular Halfback Receives the Elec- tion /from Football Team. Leroy -A. Swan, who played left half- back on the Norwich Free Academy football team this season, was elected captain for next year at a meeting of the football squad held Fridey at school st the long recess. Coach Frank B. Leonard presided. There were two candidates for the rosition, Walter Elliott, the star tackle, being Swan’s opponent, and the vote stood 9 to 8 in Swan’s favor.

A man has to do a lot more thinking now than he did in the old game. Any time he has to work his brain he has to take his attention off the simple battling that we used to do. The game of today has no place for the bonehead.

After expressing the “opinion that the outlook for business was the most serfous of years, he gave as the underlying cause “the chaotic situation resulting from the attempt to adjust business to law,” which he said had brought about a disturbed state of mind among business men generally.

Man- dcughness are so much more severe that I can only wonder what such old opponents of mine as Hogan of Yale and Hare of Penn would do in the modern game. “The rule against bad language is another of the new game. Only an old Ilayer can realize what it has accom- plished in the way of a change Why, if one of those big teams of ten years ago had to play under the present rules the only way a coach could get his men through a period would be to gag them, On the other hand, I heard the Michi- &an and Syracuse teams play a whole game the other day with only one barsh expression, for the use of which 1 penalized one team 15 yards, and there wasn't & kick. “As for the forward pass and the other features, they appeal to most old players as interesting and fair. They undoubtedly give & weak team a much better chance for victory than they ever had before. They also bring into the game a type of speedy, atblete who sometimes would have had trouble making & team that played the old-time game. “But_there is still one feature where the old type of game is superior. A spectator didn't have to be a football lawyer to understand it. Whatever hanvened could be fully appreciated, cnce the rudimentary idea was grasp- ed. There were five yards to be gained and three downs in which to gain them. A man elmost always started with the tall from his position, and the crowd culd tell by the lineup who he was and who tackled him. Now the men shift about and the play is so intricate that the average spectator misses a lot of it and has to content himself large- 1y jwith the gorgeous spectacle and the opportunity for cheering his alma ma- ter at the finish, “Numbering the players and a sys- tem of scoring which will display the name of the man carrying the ball and the changes in the lineup, as they are made, would help a lot. The popular- izing of the game, with its present complicationis, calls for a lot of study, and the team that solves the problem first will do a lot of good to & game that isn’t the football we used to know but is @ mighty £0od game, neverthe- less.” BARRY AND COLLINS GREAT INFIELD PAIR. Best in the Business, Concedes Mana- ger McGraw of the Giants. Of all the jack roses handed to Con- nie Mack during the post series, not one was larger, more beautiful or sweeter perfumed than the lot sent by Manager McGraw of the Glants. The New York tactician thinks par- ticularly well of Collins and Barry, who, he says, are a better pair than Tinker and Evers In their prime. Here is what McGraw sald toc Sam Crane: What impressed Manager McGraw more than anything else about Athletice’ flelding during the recent world's series was the gran dteam work done by Collins and Barry. “Those two boys know ‘something. They were the class of the Athletics’ infleld,” sald the Giants' manager yes- terday. “They showed as perfect team work hetween them as T ever saw. They did their work so smoothly and with so experts Ing off In the way of defense to offset their opponents’ plan of attack. I had my players try every imaginabie thing T could think of to penetrate thelr de- fense and to dstect what signs they had between them to denote the one ihat was to cover second on steals, but 1 had to give it up. I came to the con- clusion that it must have been intui- tion. Thev are both natural ball play- ers, as their every action showed, and to get a hit between them or to work the hit and run was little short of an impossibility. “If T signed for the hit and run, ex- pecting Collins to cover second and tional league series. But a manager only runs across a pair of players who can work together and fit in as per- fectly as do Collins end Barry once in @ lifetime, but I hope to be lucky euough to round Doyle and Fletcher into just as likely a pair. “With a crackerjack catcher, and the Athletics will have just that Kind next season in KEgan, who was with Balti- more this season, Connle Mack’s team should have little trouble in winning the American league championship for Several years to come, always, of course, taking into consideration the iuck of the game In the shape of acci~ dents to players.” CAMP'S ALL-AMERICAN. Princeton and Yale Get Thres Each, Harvard Two, Wast Point, Annapolis and Carlisle One. The team that Walter Camp picks as the Ali-American football team for 1911 contains three Princeton men, two from Harvard, three from Yale and cne each from Carlisle, West Point and Annapolis. Camp names his team in Collier's Weekly as follow. College. Princeton Princeton Harvard Yale Princeton ‘West Point Yale Harvard Carlisle fullback Annapolis quarterback Yale Camp declares the season showed t inconsistency, both in teams and I “dividual players. . The. principel contests of the year were won or lost through a fumbie or a fluke.” He declares the forward pass, used less frequently this year than last, a8 not been productive of spectacular plays and often has resulted in disas- ter, The same, he thinks, is true of the onside kick. Camp says: “The season will certainly give rise to a considerable discussion of the present rules and a party that advo- cates an increased mumber of downs —four instead of three all over the fleld or at least within the 25 yard lne—will gain many adherents. “The rules forbidding tackling below the knees and decreeing the ball Is dead when any part of a man except his feet touches the ground when in the grasp of an opponent, should be either modified or enforced. Camp's second all-American team is as follows: Ends: Smith of Harvard and V¢ of Pel State; tackles, Munk of Cor- nell and Scully of Chicago: guards. Scruby of Chicago and McDevitt of Yale; quarterback, Sprackling of Brown; center, Bluéthenthal of Prince- ion; halfbacks, Morrey of Dartmouth and Camp of Yale; fullback, Rosen- water of Minnesota. Camp of Yale, selected as a second string halfback, i the son of the au- thor. Camp’s third team selections are: Ends, Ashbaugh of Brown and Kal- lett of Byracu=e; tackles, Burer of ‘Wisconsin and Brown of Annapolis guards, Francis of Yale and Arnold of West Point; quarterback, Capron of Minnesota; halfbacks, Mercer of Penn- sylvania and Wells of Michigan; full- back, Hudson of Trinit centes Weems of Annspolis. Camp declares the game, as now played, Is too complex for the average quarterback to secure results and de- mands e simplification of the rules. As to other changes he says: “We should check the present con- tinuous string of subm, allow coaches to walk up and down the sidelines or speak to officials, ‘we should simplify the rules which require so much watching of five yard and twen- ty yard spaces even though the doing end tackle guard center guard tackle end halfhack fhack It ho leave the space open between first and second, why, Barry would be at the tag to cover the runnmer on a throw from the catcher. and If Barry looked to be the most Ifkely man to run to the bag, Collins due over there ascd Parry would bs at shortstop to block that anticipated open territory. “They form a sreat pair, and T do not think that Tinker and Hvers, in (e palmiest days of the Cubs, when those players were the key to the Cub: infleld, ever excelled in team work and guessing out ifkke Colling €HIOABD GRAIN MAAKET, e e B oEow it s 5 80 may affect the forward pass and onside kick.” countered. —————— e et 1) ‘hx o o{ Kansas Tha 7 Why Germany Came Down. state may be & little raw In som AUTOMOBILE NOTES.
