FOOTBALL IS 10T STBilGGLIi FOR

Ey . C. HAH1ITON trnited Freas Staff Correipondeat.) NEW TORK. Oct. 2. Football this year Is going to be a very live proposition, in spite of the fact that Harvard. Tale and Princeton have decided to leave the game flat on Its back. Minus the big hoorah made every J-enr over the games indulged in by the historic triumvirate, with its angles resting at Princeton. New Haven and Cambridge, the old game is going right along:, and it seems certain that the vest Is goins to be the center of the thing. Iespite general belief, football doesn't live and breathe In the atmosphere of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey. They play a decidedly Interesting brand of the pastime out in Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and other similiar points of the wild and wooly. Historical interest alone sticks out in the big eastern conflicts and only the glory that attaches to these contests gives them the edge over the western kind of scraps on the gridiron. It would be wrong to say that football as It is played in the east Is superior to that played in the west, for there are two different kinds of football.

HAMMOND FOOTBALL ELEVEN PLAYS AT DETROIT SUNDAY

Like Barnum 4- Bailey's circus. Hammond's town football team will be "bigger and better" than ever this year. "When Manager Paul Parduhn. Coach Ed Greene and Captain Frank Blocker depart with the squad Saturday night for Detroit to open the season against the famous Detroit Heralds Sunday, it Is possible that Paddy Driscoll. last year's sensation with Northwestern University, will e with the team as a riKlfhaek. Negotiations are on now for the all-western football star. There will be fifteen men in the squad Sunday and possibly sixteen. Hammond team follows: Captain Frank Blocker, center. Selleger, Green and G. Yolkman, guards. n News of Amateur Football Games Will be Printed in THE TIMES In treating CHRONIC DISEASES requires special study, skill, timo and patience.

In the west the idea is to develop a working unit of play, ready for any emergency. Their best trains in that section reach a high degree of efficiency under this method of tutelage.

In this section the work begins early on pointing teams for some big game, j At Harvard, it is for Yale and at Tale j it is for Harvard. At Princeton it is for Tale and Harvard. j The coaches are more numerous at ' these big universities. Graduates take! a greater interest in the instruction of t players. Each individual is taken over , by a former star at that position and ! taught all the tricks that can b- ! crammed into his head. As a result he becomes proficient at a certain style j of play, ready to be set Into the Tale. Harvard , or . Princeton style of attack j or defense. i These big colleges turn out individ- j uals who stand out as marvels. The western schools turn out strongly working units of football. Consistent clashes between the two sections would bring out which of the two ia beat, but that is a mere dream. But the coming fall season will see more interest west and will do more for their kind of football than anything else. Tea Blocker, H- Volkman, and Plum, tackles. Kohl. Foster, ends. Nolan, quarter. Sheridan. Gaffney, Slater, and Meyers, halfbacks. Longneeker, fullback. Longnecker is a former Purdue fullback and a line-plunger who can be depended upon for gains. Gaffney was a member of the Oak Park High school team that was undefeated and set a high mark for Chicago high schools. The veterans on the Hammond team from last year's Clabbys are Frank and Ted Blocker. Selleger. Plum. Green, II. Volkman, Kohl and Nolan. Owner Tarduhn is also negotiating with Stager of Fort Wayne for the backfield. Coach Ed Greene. all-American fullback with Pennsylvania, is hopeful for this year's team. He states that the great defensive line of last year lias been improved upon while the backfield is fifty per cent better. "We have a fullback who can gain through, the line." said Green, "and last year we could only make short gains through the line." Following is the schedule as arranged to date: October 7 Detroit Heralds at Detroit. Oct. 14 Davenport at Davenport. Oct. 21 Open (possibly Racine at Hammond.) Oct. 28 Wabash A. C. at Hammond. Nov. 4 Pine Village at Lafayette. Nov. 11 Open. Nov. 18 Wabash at "Wabash. Nov. 23 Pine Village at Hammond. Thanksgiving Open. Fans desiring accomodations to Detroit are requested to see Melvin Monnett at once. The special fare is S3. 67 each way. The team leaves at 10:4$ Saturday night, arriving in Detroit at 7:45 Sunday morning; leaving Detroit at 11:30 that night and returning to Hammond at 6:30 Monday morning.

HAMILTON PICKED THE WINNERS H. C. Hamilton, United Press sporting editor, in a story published on April 7, last, picked the Giants and White Sox as the teams that would meet in the 1917 world's series. These teams are going to meet, as Hamilton predicted, in what will probably be one of the greatest series in baseball history, beginning October 6. . Hamilton will be on the job for THE TIMES. Having followed the Giants and White Sox through the pennant fights, Hamilton knows both teams thoroughly and his stories of the games will be of real baseball. Assisting Hamilton, will be other United Press staff men who will handle the feature side of the series, giving THE TIMES fast, comprehensive service from start to finish. The United Press leased wires will be looped direct into the Chicago and New York parks for the handling of rapid fire play-by-play description of the games.

EAST CHICAG HUMBLE Before a crowd of SCO rabid and enthusiastic football fans from all over Lake county and vicinity, the East Chicago Gophers swept on to their second victory of the season when they defeated the Cornell A. C. 131G champions of the City League. The Gophers started off like whirlwinds and scored twice within the first ten minutes of play. They gained ground at will by a clever mixture of forward rasses, end runs, and trick plays. The Cornells, however, were undaunted and by hard line plunging and a bii; penalty, due to the removal of Wickey on account of slugging, they scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. The first half ended with the Gophers leading. 13 to 12. The second half .opened with both GARY.

Although most of the Lake coun'' high schools that are represented by fotball teams this season, are handicapped in the way of small squads end mostly all new material, from the results of Saturday's games it is apparent that there will be some hard tussles for the county championship Just the same. Both Gary and Hammond were victorious and according to dope, they will be nearly evenly matched when they clash November 10th. Handball is becoming quite a popular sport, especially at the Emerson school where a tourney Is being staged and has resulted in some lively and interesting games. F. Quinlan and Coach L. A. Erickson were the winners of last Saturday's contest. The Hammond and Gary high school second teams will clash at Emerson field Saturday afternoon. The (varsity team having no game on their schedule will be given a day of rest. Baseball fans who have their tickets for the world's series laid away in their vest pockets are considering themselves exceedingly lucky, as it is being circulated in Gary that the nothing doing sign has been hung up by the teket sellers. A number in Gary who hoped to secure tickets, had their checks returned. It looks like the majority of the fans will have to stand in line and wait their turn to get in the bleachers. With only one game to be played out of the city and one open date the Garyhigh school football squad will play five games at home this year. Hammond and South Bend are considered Gary's strongest contenders. Coach Erickson has announced the complete schedule as follows: October 6 Hammond Seconds vs. Gary Seconds. Emerson field. j October 13 Mishawaka vs. Gary Froebel field. j October 20 Elkhart vs. Gary, Emerson field. October 27 East Chicago vs. Gary. Froebel field. November 3 South Bend vs. Gary.

SOX IN FINAL DEFEATED, 4-2, THEMBO HOME McGraw Takes Peek at Champions as Season Ends.

NEW TORK. Oct. 2. The new champion White Sox wound up their regular season yesterday in just as tame fashIon as if they had finished in last place. They allowed the Yankees to win the last contest, 4 to 2. and last night departed westward with their minds on the start of the big show Saturday. Only a few New York fans were present at the final exhibition and they were there to size up the Sox so they'll know Just how the world's Eeries with the Giants is to end. One of the spectators, according to rumor, was John J. McGraw, who has been traveling around with the Giants all rummer, and who reached New York j yesterday morning. John J. kept himself hidden, if he was at the game, but j he probably had a peek hole through which to watch his rivals. DUBUQUE. IA., Oct. 2. Charles Huene and W. V. Hollingsworth, both of Monticello. Iowa, were killed in an auto wreck last night. Hollingsworth was an umpire in the Three-I League. CHICAGO CHAMPS sides fighting desperately for the advantage, and neither side was able to score. In the final quarter, the Gophers changed men frequently and soon had the ball in Cornell territory. After several clever plays they worked the ball down the field and scored their thelrd touchdown. The final score was: Gophers. 20; Cornell A. C, 12. OVallahan and Cohen showed up well for the visitors nhile Quinn, Cleary and Keenan performed brilliantly for the victors. Several of the best football teams in the middle west have written to the Gopher management for games and football fans of the region are thus assured of seeing the best in football during the coming months. Several prospective opponents are the Joliet Standards. Chicago Stayms and Detroit Maroons. Notice to Managers.

TRIANGLES CLOSE FIRE SEAS (Special to The Ties.) INDIANA HARBOR. IXC. Oct. 2. The Triangles of Indiana Harbor closed their baseball season by taking a pair of games Sunday from the laboratory nine of the Inland Steel. 16-6. and from the Bachelor A. C, 22-9. The ritching of Toney was the feature of the first game and also the hitting of Gant who fattened his batting average by getting two triples and i singles in 6 times at bat. The second game was a return game with the Bachelor A. C. who were quite a puzzle to the Triangles last Sunday, although the Triangles won. Steffan pitched airtight ball the first seven innings and then with a comfortable lead he gave the Triangle fielders a little practice by letting the A. C.'s hit. The Triangles ended a successful season, it being their maiden year lit baseball. Manager Frank Shisler, Gant, Rathburn, Toney and the wholo team must be remembered for their share in doing honors for the Triangle baseball club. "Dan" Boone, who was the backbone of the club, must also be given much credit for his coaching and help he gave to the team. U. S. Football Club to Play at Toronto TORONTO. CAN.. Oct. 2.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2. At a meeting ot football officials, coaches and pSayers last night for the purpose of intejrpreting the rules governing the game. Walter Cjimp of Yale, who presided, said that fiom the activity displayed by the men at the various training camps throughout the country, more football would be played here than ever before. All the officials present said that they would willingly give "their services at any games which may be arranged at or betwerti army or navy training camps or stations. By a unanimous vote it was decided to cut out the approved ruling regarding the ball still being in play after it had crossed the side line extended. This was the first time any approved rule was eliminated by vote or otherwise at any meeting other than a regular one of the rules committee. On the motion of Coach Sanford of Rutgers it was decided to recommend to the rules committee the necessity of eliminating the possibility of a player being cut down from behind. The Rutgers coach also made an appeal that the rules committee at its next session Za3SS
