YELLOW JACKETS ARE READY FOR AUBURN GAME Coach Kidd Sends Team Through Final Drill For Auburn Tilt Optimism is king in Decatur high school todav. The greatest pre-football spirit to prevail in Decatur for years has been fully organized and indications are that a record crowd will attend the opening of the local football season at the Country Chib field at 3 o’clock tomorrow after_noon. Auburn high school will furnish "cannon-fodder" for the local tiers, and every player is keyed 3 (or a successful opening of the '*1929 season. Auburn is reported to have a heavy and hard hitting team. Coach Max Kidd stated today that his players were In good condition for the tilt, but he refused to release a probable line-up. It is understood, however, that several new faces will be seen in the local line-up and Coach Kidd has drilled the squad all week on scoring ‘‘early and often." The preliminary game between the North Sixth Street team and the North End Red Skins is creating much interest. The two teams are made up of grade-school boys. The first game will start at 2:15 o'clock. AH rgade school children in the city will be admitted free to both games. The big game between Auburn and Decatur will start at 3 o'clock, (daylight saving time). Several local “Yell sections" have been organized and plenty of school spirit will be in evidence, according to reports from the local school leaders. J?. Footwork A clever coach realizes that much of his team's practice time should be given over to developing the footwork of both linemen and backfield men. j Footwork is all essential in executing starts, stops, pivots, reverses, e.de steps and the sort. Excellent footwork is obtained by developing the leg muscles. Skating during the winter is good training for open field runners. Basketball also helps to develop the leg muscles. During the grid season, squad exercise against dummy tacklers should be on the coach's daily menu. Wind sprints and running exercises also should be included with every practice. Linemen need clever footwork. The team which gets the jump on its opponent usually has linemen who are clever at footwork. Many times a lighter lineman can take out a heavier opponent by getting started first. This requires powerful drive in the legs.. Three different types of footwork are employed by the ball carters. Th« light-weight back depends upon his running speed. He sprints around the end using a change of pace to get out in the open. The middle-weight crosses the line and cuts back. To cut back he must be well trained in footwork The heavy-weight depends upon leg drive to carry him through the mass of players on the line. He uses high knee action to break the tackles. Red Grange's change of pace made him famous. Pest Welch, of Purdue, is clever at off-tackle smashes, as were Chuck Bennett, of Indiana; Tiny Lewis, of Northwestern; Herb Joesting, and Uagurisk, of Minnesota. Editor’s Note: Pat Page will next Tell about the work of the linemen. HELEN HICKS IS GOLF CHAMPION Chicago, Sept. 13. —<U.R)— Helen Hicks, Long Island star, was the western women's golf champion today. Miss Hicks, competing with a field df the best women golfers in the country, negotiated four rounds over the Flossmoor Country Club course In 320, a remarkable score for a woman.

Sept. 13. —(U.R) — The business of teaching modern youngsters to keep their place is becoming more and more difficult. William T. Tilden 11. and Frank Hunter, two venerable gentlemen whose years and experience should merit them -the absolute respect of younger men. have spent the last five days in spanking ambitious youths who refused them this respect. Their task is still unfinished. At the west side tennis club today Tilden faced the necessity of subduing John Doeg, a young giant from Santa Monica. Calif., who believed that he. instead of his elder, should be a finalist in the men's national singles championships tomorrow. At the same time Hunter was similary engaged with Fritz Mercur, just out of Lehigh University, who also lacked respect for the plans of an older man. Neither Tilden nor Hunter expected their young opponents to bowtheir heads without a fight. They realized the power behind the racquet of the pair and regarded both as dangerous opponents. The old timers were the favorites but there were those in the gallery who believed that either, or both, of the youngsters might slip in with a surprise victory. ■o Yesterday's Hero —Claude Willoughby, who stilled the bats of the Chicago Cubs with seven hits and paved the way for Philadelphia’s 7 to 1 victory. Hack Wilson, of the Cubs, and Chuck Klein of Philadelphia, continued their neck and neck fight for home run honors of the league, each hitting one to bring their respective I totals to 39. (
