Oct. 22—Knute Rockne’s trick of tossing his second team into sach gridiron battle at the beginning ind then rushing his regulars to the icene as soon as the second period gets under way, is finding plenty of imitators as the footliall season gresses.Numerous coaches in the east and niddle west have attempted, in some measure at least, this estimable dan. The larger universities, of •ourse, are the only ones with which t has worked at all successfully : nee the smaller schools have not in most cases the reserve power necessary for its perpetration. But according to Coach Charles Crowley of Columbia University, the plan wi 1 not be adopted permanently ■ by very many athletic mentors In the early season against teams which I ire merely testing machines, coaches 'ike to give their regulars a chance o limber up and send them in 1 COUGHS < ’t ARE DANGER 1 WARNINGS MjiiSii R /'J YEARS OF SUCCESS I J 1

against the opponents while the lat-j , ter are still fresh and able to their best fighting. In the later ( games coaches will find Rockne s stunt too frisky. The value of the 1 first score is as high in football as In any other aport and few elevens i w II let their opponents tally first unless they can avoid it. I Crowley also is opposed to the alasf|n<|a'|on “ffrtrt’i and • second" teams. He believes it in the interest of football to work every member of his squad as often as possible and not to build up two machines of 11 parts each. ''Troubles of coaches would be diminished 60 per cent,” he says, 'if they wouldn't try to make 11 nien a unit. One part Is continually breaking down and that means the training of a substitute. The best plan is to train the whole squad in the art of football and let each player have a shot at his position during every game.” | To test this theory, Crowley used almost 35 men in the f rst three games which Columbia played this season And during the l.*>« minutes Os play, Columbia scored 170 points. The opponents, of course, were mediJocre. hut Crowley at least had the satisfaction of knowing that he had more than two men with enough experience to jump into each posit on on the team.
