The Fourth Down »\ WBy Willie Punt Indications are that the lineup of the team which Coach Kidd will send into the game at Columbia City, Friday afternoon, will be changed considerably from the one that took the

Held against Auburn last Saturday. The coach has shifted the lineup com siderably in practice this week and believes he has found a stronger combination. Dick Engle anil George Roop, backfield men, have been dropped from the squad for infraction of the training rules. Brown is working at quarter back in Engle’s place and Kocher has been shifted from end to halfback to fill Roop’s berth. Cole. I who played guard in the Auburn ! game, was playing at left end yesterday evening in practice. Hebble and Schnepp are working at end, also. Cable was playing in Robert Butcher’s position at guard yesterday, also. The first string backfield, playing behind a line made up of a mixture of first and second string men, scored almost at will, yesterday evening. Debolt and Gerber made most of the big gains, with Brown and Kocher helping out. Coaches Kidd and Curtis had two full teams and four extra players out for practice yesterday evening. The members of the squad are working hard and future opponents of the Yellow Jackets may expect to find plenty of trouble. Huntington’s Trouble ■'The conference’s solution of the tootball question doubtless will leave Athlete Director Kriegbaum with a big problem of his own. Columbia City, Bluffton. Decatur and Kendallville are all “old" rivals of the Norse j —and yet only two of them can be | played next season. The other three opponents must be chosen from Auburn, and either North Side. Central or South Side of Fort Wayna. The ! last game which Huntington played with Auburn almost ended in a riot—and there is little enthusiasm here for games with Fort Wayne schools. -Huntington Herald. The Catholic high Commodores stal led basketball practice this week. Nineteen candidates answered Coach Laurent’s initial call. The coach plans to work on fundamentals for about three weeks and then give the candidates a rest until alput two weeks before the opening game, which wi l be on November 30. The squad has been divided into two groups, which alternated nights in practice. Prospects for a strong team are good at the Commodore camp this Tall, despite the fact that Hocky Mylott and Elmer Sorg, members of last year's team, will not be back.

Practically every college football team has started practice. A few of them will get into action a week from Saturday. St. Louis Cardinals Beat Giants, 8 To 5 New York.

W. & J.’s Effective Speed Stops Rutgers P .w) M .• i By SOL METZGER A few years ago Washington & Jefferson began running back punts like wildfire. In consecutive seasons Rutgers and Syracuse, both of equal strength, were defeated because the W. & J. safety men actually returned punts for touchdowns. I saw the one that defeated Rutgers at the Polo Grounds. New York, when the score was 9 to 6 in Rutgers’ favor with but two minutes left to play. Rutgers punted to W. & J.’s 20-yard line where McCreight caught the ball. He returned it for a winning touchdown. The stunt that made this run possible was the method employed by the W. <t- J. backs to dispose of the opposing ends when the opponent punted. It's a corker. The two backs assigned to these ends were fast. They let the Rutgers ends come down field, making a point to stay just a yard or so inside them and about a yard to the rear. Down came the Rutger's ends bending wide in order to turn in and either tackle the receiver or force him 4o turn straight up field. Rut just as they turned in to make the tackle the two W. & J. batks bowled themselves into their sides low and hard upending both. McCreight stepped to the left immediately. ran over the space the opposing right end had just occupied and. picking up interference, went 80 yards for the winning score. Tomorrow — Harvard's old scheme for blocking punts. Diet often stands between victory and defeat. You can’t expect to win at football by overeating and undersleeping. You must learn the value of regulation. Send stamped, addressed envelope, in care of this paper, and request Sol Metzger's leaflet on “Diet and Training for Football.” o Plan Search For Strange Animal Near Bedford, Ind. Bedfotd, Ind., Sept. 20—(U.R)— Joseph Smith, Fayetteville, has announced the organization of a posse to search for a mysterious animal which has attracted attention in Indiana Creek township the past week.
