Doane’s New Coach | NEW PLANS MADE NECESSARY | spring Veterans of the Game Are Put om Their Mettle to Edueate the Stars for Wi NEW YORK, April is plenty of foot ball taik in the eollege athietic wor'd. For the last few years practice has become almost uni- versal among Institutions boasting a foot bail team of any merit. It was found nec- essary to develap kickers and hasten some of the early season drfli in handiing the elusive bail. Since 195, when the game un- derwent constderable modification, scores | of colleges have taken up the spring arill | to meet sudden shiftings in the game. This year several changes In the rv have been made which will seriously a previcus methods of attack and defense. Other plans are likely to be formulnted into the rules and the coaches and varsity veterans are far from being sure of the | science of this year's gridiron warfare. Reports of apring foot ball practice come from colleges in every section of the coun- try. Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Pennsyl- vania, Cornell, Michigan and Chicago have | large squads on the gridiron and the prac- tice this year promises to be more thorough | than ever before. At Yale, Walter Camp | has been credited with the following state- | ment {n regard to the drill: Camp's Views. “The spring foot ball practice this year promises to serve a double purpose. It has slways been considered an excellent thing | 10 develop the kicking ability in the squad by baving a few of the men practicing during the spring under efficient coaching, and, for the coming season, in view of the fact that Yale will lose the services of its Iast year’s captain, this work scems espe- olaliy advisable. The second purpose may be easily recognized when one realizes the extensive changes in the plajing code for next season. The part of the rules which one may regard as already fixed shows that the style of interference, will be ma- tertally changed. It is also possible that the style of tackiing will heve to be al- tered. These two polats in themselves would rendet spring practice s very great help in giving the men an idea of the meth- ods that are most likeiy to prove effective and will enable them to study over them somewhat previous to the opening of the tall season. In addition to this, the rules committee has not fnally decided upon the | last steps in completing the code for mext season, and all the information that. the various universities can furnish by testing out some of the suggestions will be valu- able and very weicome to the members of One of the main points in the drill gn new rulos relates to the sbolftion of the Nying Candidates on the various college better foot ball to take the pen- for a fixjng tackle than to style againat a strong runner fleld. ¢ .-IM m!_. { illustration’ 'of the conjectured that the quarterback will pot be used this year.

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-~With the Untversity of Pennsylvania relay games but & few weeks off. the followers of track ath- letics are sising up the past records of College athlietes who will compete. Some | reparts tiiter In to the officers of the games Goncerntng the practice records of the teams which have been entered. Cosch Harry Gll of the University of Hllinols has sent word that he desired to enter not only the mile championship, but that he would also have a two-mile team. The Illinois track team won the champlon- ship of the conference colleges last year. In Rohrer and Freeland, Ilinois has two very good meh, and with as a nucleus Gili can be counted on fo make a good showing in the two-mile event. Last year Tiinols was third" in the one-mile relay championship, but later thiy same team beat Chicago, the chempions, at the relays, The: two-mile race should b very Inter- with Iitinois, Yale, Princeton, Penn- sylvania and Missouri etifered, Yale, Princeton and Pehnsylvania n,.ve“pqa téams, and the wéstern palr will have to travel very fast to win. Yale practically won' the indoor two-mile champlonship, doing 7 minutes 5 seconds, an average of 1 minute 59 seconds for the half-mile. Yale won this event last year, so the blue is apt to be the favorite for the event. There are 19 teams in the class events, while with six entries in the one-mile championship, five in the twe-mile, five in the four-mile, six in each of the high and preparatory | schoal championship races and two in the freshman event, the total number of teams is raised to 24 According to reports from the various college campuses, the varsity track teams are rounding into form ard several ath- letes are making good early season records.

Cooney of Yale is also said to be making & very good shewing in the weights, Towar of Michigan recently beat 428 on Michigan's, indoor track. This has so en- couraged the Wolverines that they are now confident that they will win back the four-mile college relay championship that they have lost to Pennsylvania last year.

NOVEL TOURING CAR RACE Event in Championship Series for Road Cars Carrylng Four. “Can any touring car on the market to- , rated at fifty horsepbwer or less, make a mile & minute under ordiaary tour- ing conditions and carrying four passen- gers?” is a question to be decided during the national champlonship track ruces, May %, on the Indiapapolls motor speed- way, under the sanction and direction of the contest board of the American Auto- mobile associstion. During the Chicago automobile show President Lewis R. Speare of the American Automobile association, Chatrman A. G. Batcheider of the exeeutive committee and John A. Wison of Frankiln, Pa., in dis- cussing champlonship racing, hit upon th plan of holding one event In the cham- plonship series for fully equipped touring ears, carrylog four passengers. Such a race had never been held, but Mr. Wiison had often expressed the opinion there was not & touring car buiit which would travel sixty miles an hour on & perfectly level road under average touring conditions and carrying four pussengers and regular equip- ment. Mr. Wilson said he was 50 positive that no fifty-horsepower car could make a mile & minute under teuring conditions that he was willlng to offer a trophy for & race. LUSTER OF THE CAR BODY Water and Seap Prime Factors in Preserving the Paint. it is & fact that the usual chauffeur is careless in regard to the appearance of his car so far as the paint is concerned. He is, s @ rule, & machinist, and takes pride in keeping/up his engine, but has little knowl- edge of the care of fine paint work. When the car is new, and before it is put into commiswion, it should be showercd with cold water. Mud and dirt will spot | and deaden the varnish and kil the luster, particularly in the ease of a new car. The frequent showering of cold water tends to harden the varpish more than anything else. Oil and grease are particularly hard on all kinds of paint, and the body should be kept free of these substances. The body skould never be wiped with a plece of greasy waste. In washing use two sponges and two chamois ‘skine, one for the body and one for the chassis, since the chassis is more or less olly. When a car comes in covered with mud, under no- eircumstances allow this to dry over night. The car should be put ony the wash stand and the mud thoroughly sonked with water. Do nat try to rub off the mud dry or partly dry, but allow|the water to take is off graduajly. Thers are many kinds of excellent soap on the market, but castiie is probably as §00d as any. For removing grease a soft- s0ap paste is excellent. One should be pro- duced which does not contain either free Iye or acid. Soap should mever be allowed 0 dry on the car, but should be washed off at once.—Philadelphis North American. ! GLIDDEN TOUR BEGINS JUNE 15 Cineinnati Definitely Sctiled On as Sturting Point.
