De Pauw Gridiron Athletes Show Classy Form in Early Season Practice

COACH ASHMORE HAS GOOD MATERIAL TO SHAPE UP FAST GREENCASTLE SQUAD Former Illinois Player Is Well Liked by Team Candidates and Students in General Co-eds Like His Speech Making. By UK7.il CLARK GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 21.-—“ Football men at De Pauw work for Coach Ashmore,” declared an old-time football fan yesterday as he watched the De Pauw Tigers practice football. Coach James Ashmore, former Illinois gridiron star, has a personality that wins him friends not only among the football players, but among other students. Only yesterday he proved brave enough to refuse to make a speech to the coeds at De Pauw. Two pretty girls, acting as a committee, halted the coach at the gymnasium and invited him to make a speech at a big rally scheduled to be held that afternoon. Explaining that the rally was held at the time when the squad was practicing football and that his place was on the athletic field, he refused.

Not only is Ashmore popular at De Pauw, but he can coach football. He knows the gridiron and how to teach it. He is asisted by Ned Marriam, Chicago; Bob Gibson, De Pauw; and A. R. Kirk, lowa. The writer has seen De Pauw football squads practice many times during the last twenty years hut never before has he seen an aggregation more willing to work or as far advanced at this early date in the season. “They are green,” explained Coach Ashmore, “and they have a lot to learn about football.” This is true, but the system used in teaching the players yesterday is just what will make them real football men. There appears to be some exceptionally good material on the Tiger squad thi3 year. There is plenty of weight. De Pauw football men have practiced two weeks. In the scrimmage yesterday they shot forward passes and caught them in better style than the De Pauw team did in the last games of the season in 1921. The Tigers' formations, shift plays and style of attack are different from any used by Indiana college teams and the plays seem to have a force and drive to them that is hard to stop. The preliminary work before the scrimmage brought out some interesting features. Kirk, giant lowa University line man. took the line candidates to one end of the field. He taught them the art of charging with the charging machine. When scrimmage started the back field felt the result of Coach Kirk's work and were forced to use an open attack. MtiPriam Coaches Ends Coach JMerriam gave the ends a long tackling drill using four tackling dummies. It must be said that these De Pauw Tigers this year tackle low and this style of tackling was not in evidence last season. Coach Gipson drilled the men in passing the ball and in catching both long and short forward passes. Coach Ashmore devoted most of his time to the back field. He is using a back field charging machine. This is far different from the heavy wooden sled affair used by the line men. The charging machine used by the DePauw backs consists of two poles with long heavy leather straps at top and bottom connecting these poles. In the center and suspended between the two straps is an affair that resembles a horse collar. The backs form in their regular position, the mart carying the ball hits the horse collar affair. If he hits hard enough to drag the two men holding the charging machine about five yards then Coach Ashmore is “almost” satisfied. Roland Fisher, left guard; John Clark, left end, and Joe (Red) Adams, right end of last year's team, are on the squad this year. Big Lyle Burton, full back at De Pauw two years ago, who did not play last sea<eon. is also back. Clark showed well In practice yesterday. He is a sure tackier. His home is in Brooklyn. N. Y. Besides (Red) Adams there Is Glenn Adams, the track team man, who is after an end job. Frank Irwin, a Greencastle high school player, reputed to be one of the fastest athletes ever at De Pauw, is trying for a wing Job. Jim Todd, a Bluflfton high school athlete, is an end candidate. Star quarter Out Fitzpatrick, star quarter on the Lansing, Mich, team last season, is believed to be one of the best field generals ever at Greencastle. John Cady, de Pauw's famous quarter-mile runner, is another quarter back while Bill (Red) Wilson, who two years ago played on the Wabash high school team, when the aggregation was the State champions, is at De Pauw. He did not show well last year, but appears to be going good this season. Besides Burton. F. A. Crabb is a ful' back possibility. Wayne Kmraheuer, is a speedy half back. Ernest Daniels is a half back who can punt. Harold Nesbit, a former Garfield High School player from Terre Haute, is a husky back who will make the best of the Tigers' step to beat him to a half back job. R. E. Omerod, who played with Ft. Wayne high school, is a speedy back. Zeke Young, the Martinsville high school basket-ball star, should prove to be a clever football man, for he has speed and strength. After all De Pauw’s strength will be its line. The Tigers have weight. Weaver, Teel, Johnson and Webster are center candidates. Webster was center on the powerful Clinton High School team last season.

Fisher, last year’s guard, Is working hard. Other guards are Simons, who a year ago won the Illinois high scnool javelin throw: Stephens, a Greencastle High School strong man; Miller. Brazil High School line star, and Lockner, who played with Ft Wayne High School. The tackle candidates are tall and big Merle Pressler of Columbia City is a tall tackle. Alvin Weaver appears to be a tackle who has a good chance to earn a line position. Yance, a giant from California, is another tackle. Fortune, who was star floor guard on the Shelbyville High School basket-ball team last year, is wearing football togs. St. Philip’s Practice The St. Philip football team will hold a practice at Spades Park Friday evening at 6. All players expecting to get in the game Sunday should attend. The Saints are playing hi the 100-pound class. For games caU Webster 6079 and ask for Ed.

Playing the Field

With Eddie Ash The American Association-Interna-tional "junior world’s series” proved a bloomer last fall, but this year there may be more in it for the players. Louisville failed to get enthused over it in 1921, but St. Paul fans are of the type that get out and cheer and perhaps they will do so in October if the weather is not too cold. The series wlil open in Baltimore, Oct. 4, and the Saints will battle in four games there before moving to St. Paul to conclude the series. The championship will go to the club first to win five games. Last fall the Colonels knocked off the Orioles decisively and Association fans will be backing the Saints to do the same. Forward went the Yankees again Wednesday and on the reverse went the Browns. The New Yorkers are continuing' their pennant march, while the challenging Mound City crew apparently has shot its bolt. While the Yanks trimmed the Tigers the shattered Browns were being blanked by Washington. The great pennant fight seems to be all over but the shouting. The Pirates reduced the Giants’ lead in the National to four and one-half games by beating the MeGraw clan Wednesday, but that isn't much of a reduction at tills late stage. Rogers Hornsby tied Ken Williams for the major league home run lead when he soaked two in Brooklyn Wednesday. Each slugger has thirtynine. Rogers' consecutive hitting streak was stopped at thirty-three games, however, when he failed to hit Grimes safely in the first of the day's twin bill. Tom Sheehan hung up another victory when he turned the Millers back in the first of a double hill. The Saints won the day’s wind-up. Cleveland introduced a 215pound rookie pitcher Wednesday and he beat the Red Sox. Whitey Witt was all wrong when he thought he was hit by a bottle thrown from the St. I>ou!s bleachers. A fan comes to bat with the statement that Whitey stepped on a bottle and It flew up and hit him. Pretty soft for Pancho Villa. Manila friends are going to purchase him a $2,500 belt. Ask for the coin, Pancho; belts are not negotiable. First Big Ten casualty. Quarterback Bank of Michigan has a fractured leg. Perhaps Hurry-up Yost hurried him up too much. In the course of events of Wednesday Exterminator won another race. The “Iron horse'* refuses to wear out. The Saginaw - Hamilton Mint League play-off stands three and two in favor of Hamilton. Grand Rapids won the Central League post-season series from Ludington and will meet the Mint League winner.

BROWNS HAVE SLIM CHANCE TO LAND IN mSEOIES New York Giants Out in Front and Yankees Have Big Start. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—The New York Yankees have the American League pennant just about as good as won. With a lead of three and a half games, the Yanks are In a position where they can lose four of their eight remaining games and the St. Louis Browns can do no better than tie with a clean sweep of their seven remaining games. If the Yanks win only three out of the next eight games, the Browns have to win all seven to take the pennant. In the National League, the Giants are still in a favorable position with a lead of four and a half games over the Pittsburg Pirates. The Giants have twelve more games to play and the Pirates have nine. If the Giants break even, the Pirates will have to win nine straight games to finish first. If the Giants slump and win only four of their remaining games, the Pirates will have to win eight out of nine. If the Giants win seven o' the twelve games they will cinch the flag.

This same Shocker has been the "ace in the hole” for the Browns all season. of the series to Hp* Washington the Bf pennant hopes of the St. Louis fans j&ijJrj went flittering. ■ *pr Tho Yanks outclawed the TlShocker and the whole St. Louis JfM * f . team look and act like the beaten *9* bunch of pennant aspirants they are. ANDERSON Western fans are disappointed. Everybody seemed pulling for a pennant out our way, but with New York pitchers working better than they have this season, a streak of hitting apparent when least expected, the gonfalon undoubtely will ugain grace the Gotham flagpole both ways. THE two Bills of tennis, Tilden and Johnston, will invade Europe In 1924. Undoubtedly they are the two best tennis players in the world. The Davi3 cup and succeeding play demonstrated that. Big Bill has the edge of one match in their competitive play. Little Bill went big this year but Tilden played a whirlwind type of tennis and nosed his out. Their trip to Europe will afford the net fans of the countries across the pond some real tennis.
