Defensive Footlallis - : Neglected This Year Many Competent Students of Gar.e Declare Offensive Demands : : Most of Attention. : , : In these interesting days of verbiage about onside Kkicks, forward passes, quarter back runs and other radical features of 1906 football, the subject of defense is being neglected. Competent students of the sport you can find in plenty who will maintain that defense is the problem of 1907 rather than of the present fall. Therefore they dismiss all reference to hitherto*important aspects of the various elevens and of the larger elevens in particular with the retort: “Let us 'talk about the value of the forward pass or of the onside kick. Now I hold that the forward pass cannot be successfully em—"

. But there are also competent men who are giving many long evenings to the problem of defense, who believe, as in other days, that the best defense is a first-class scoring offense. These men are wondering just how they can

rob the other team of all its so-called fancy maneuvers and turn the effort to the advantage of No. 1. In a sense, it is the beginning of the old duel over again. Out of the obscurity of the past four weeks the problem of defense is certainly- emerging again to claim more and more attention as the important contests of the year fall due and threaten the glory and greatness of the alma mater with everlasting disgrace.

The thing called college pride is omnipresent in the fall. Reformers and their results may come and go; they may change football over into a dozen or more different forms of virile sport; they may introduce into the grand old sport a dozen and one different Anglic elements, or they may show their Americanism by introducing totally new theories and principles, but when all is said and done, the thing called college pride is ever on hand to strive for victory by the shortest and most satisfactory methods.

If a powerful offense will help to that end, why the effort is made to develop such an-asset, or if the emphasis be on defense, pure and simple, plus an offense powerful enough at the psychological moment to yield an advantage, why, another pronotnced effort is made. If Yale be strong on the defense and weak on the offense, then do the Harvard coaches go to work with renewed zeal and confidence to dovetail the Cantabrigian excellencies with the Yalesian defects, and to strengthen themselves where Yale is weak.

~ Chicago is, to have football on Thanksgiving day, notwithstanding the college conference of a few months ago. The contestnts will be those cracks who are winding up their four years of college football under ' the colors of their respective universities and the world’s champion at professional football, Massillon, Ohio. Caste will be lent the contest by the lappearance of several of the much- '. heralded heroes of. the gridiron game of such universities as Chicago, Minnesota, and Michigan. - . . The need of'glean handling of the ball is more vital this year than ever before,” and recent games emphasize this fact. A muff led up to Coraell's touchdown against Princeton. A poor-

Haven a similar undertaking is be gun. And behind all effort is that peculiar thing called college pride, and behind ' the peculiar thing called colk lege pride is the-intense American regard for victory. In the rush of the crowd to develop offensive tactics under the new rules —offensive tactics worth decisive results in the presence of the enemy of the moment-—many coaches forgot two or three old doctrines of football. Throughout New England they have been experimenting for a month with modifications of old offensive football, and to a certain extent with newfangled plays. In order to teach old dogs new tricks they have been obliged to neglect at least the third .or fourth reader dealing with the subject of defense apart from the subject of offense. : Some coaches there are who believe in playing the secondary defense a considerable distance back of the line, where it may be a great preventive of the forward pass and of the onside kick especially. But if the forwards be unable of themselves to keep the line plunges of the offensive eleven down to brief and ineffective gains, then is the secondary offense com-

pelleld to play closer to their heavy fellows, and so to give the other team grand opportunities to create success: ful forward passes and onside Kkicks. Under the old game a secondary defense was necessary even for the strongest line, but to-day the ten yard rule is omnipotent. If the forwards be strong, capable men, it is then advantageous—this view lis prevalent both at Princeton and Yale, and to a growing extent at Harvard—to drop the 'seccndary defense back to the

middle ground, there to maintain a sharp outlook for forward passes, and particularly for omnside kicks. Otherwise an eleven playing fairly skillful, football may reap many rewards. The problems of defense are in their earliest infanéy, and the point of view of one college coach is not necessarily the point of view of another competent man. But in any event the necessity of guarding certain exposed sections of the gridiron is, in these experimental days, omnipresent. And, then again, there is the problem of developing a scoring offense. Taking advantage of the other eleven’s misplays is all’very well for the smaller fellows, but the coliege pride of the larger ’varsity elevens is decidedly averse, even under reform football, of basing superiority of the beloved alma mater. on flukes or accidents.

And there you are again. Misplays, fumbles, accidents are, after all, synonyms for poor defensive qualities. Thus emter more defensive problems for perplexed coaches. In a drzen and one " different ways this is a curious season.

ly handled—or rather failure to handle —on side kick led up to Princeton’s first score against Cornell, and blundering handing caused the humbling of the Pennsylvanians by the Indians. Deprived from becoming ‘members of any of the varsity athletic teams, the freshmen at both Yale and Har vard have arranged to hold a dual meet between themselves next May. It is planned to hold the meet at Cambridge and New Haven on alternate years. . By a vote of the Wisconsin athletio board, Rudolph Soukup of Sturgeon Bay® will receive a “W” for footbal) work this fall. He had a leg broken in the game with Towa and this kepi him off the team for the season.

Coach Yost Compares British and American Athletes. . , Fielding Yost, Michigan’s Hurry Up football coach, gave out a long interview the other day in which-he discussed sports in general and international ~contests between England and America. Among the other things, he said: “If there is one thing which makes me weary it is that annual cry that goes up from English sportsmen and athletes that while they themselves play only for the sport to .be found in games, Americans play sglely to win, not caring for the sport as a sport at all. . “Every man who takes up a line of sport does so for the benefits and primarily, ‘sport for sport’s sake.” But any man—that is, any man with red bleod in his veins—who goes into any game, goes in to win that game. “When Harvard first went across this summer the English crew used an old shell which they intended to carry through the race. Harvard comes over and makes a good showing in the preliminary practice. The Englishmen get frantic when they see a chance to get beaten and immediately. send in an order for a new racing shell of the latest and -most costly - build. “There would have been no difference so far as the sport end of the

race was concerned, but, like anyone else, they wanted to win and were willing to take Qo chances. Then, again, when the race was finished we read where three of the Britons fell exhausted in their boat. They would Liave gotten more sport out of it had they not rowed so hard, but then they weuld have been beaten. And still they rise to remark that their teams are only out for sport, caring not who wins or loses.”

INJURIES DUE TO PRACTICE.

Coach Reilly Declares Against Short ¢ ening Football Schedules.

- The tendancy of college teams to shorten their schedules does net strike Coach Reilly of Georgetown as the proper caper; he thinks "athletic boardsmen should not try to lessen chances for injuries by fewer games. Reilly says:

Michigan Hopes for Game.

If the combined efforts of Coach Stagg of Chicago and Graduate Director Baird of Michigan can bring about the result, the old time struggfe j.f(/)r the championship of the west will take place between the two teams. Baird said he was heartily in accord with Stagg in his desire to see the two teams meet, and if faculty interference can be avoided the game will certainly be kept up. “I know Director Stagg wanted to play Michigan this year,” said he. “He fought the Chicago professors who insisted on the cancellation of the contest for this year, and our feeling is nothing but friendly toward him and his team. We are anxious to play him again, and we will make every effort to be. allowed to do so. I think it quite probable the matter will be arranged.” ‘ ' ‘e Men and Women Immigrants.

All sorts of things can be turned to all sorts of uses, and an.additional illustration in this line was given when wireless telegraphy was used-to help out the building "of ‘the House and Senate ofife building near the Capitol. Mr. Elliott Woods, ‘the” superintendent of the Capitol, and who has charge of the construction of the two new office buildings, is regarded as an. expert in wireless telegraphy. There is one of. the finest wireless plantsin the United States in the -Senate iaboratory, and the relations between this plant, which is Mr. Woods’, and" the regular plants is cordial. = - - There was a much wanted cargo of stone for the House office. building missing. It was needed to get up the’ B street*front of the building and- it was known that it-had left New York and started down the‘coast. There. had been bad weather and there was no telling what had happened to the flotilla and no way of getting at it out at sea. So the wireless plant was called into requisition and with the sanctiion ‘of the \Vashing‘ton.na\fiv vard station, messages ‘were sent to all of the naval plants along the coast where the stone cargo. was likely to be sighted. Henlopen, Cape Henry and the other points were all notified ‘to keep a lookout for #he stone cargo and report to Washington if it. were sighted.. = - =~ . i

Cape Henry was the fipst to pick it up and reported that the boat had been having trouble with the weather, but was then off the capes. - Sure enough, rext morning ‘the.- boat reached Washington and the building was going on merrily: S Orders have been issted to the captains of the stone boats-hereafter to set the international signal when they are passing the wireless stations on the coast and Mr. Woods will thereby be able to keep tab on the vessels” ‘movements® all the way ,fr'om" New York without going out of his-office on Capitol Hill, - And the captain and crew won’t be able to put in at any of the coast ports for ‘a. quief rest and a spree even, if they: want-to ‘and as they have been known-to do in-times nast..

DEMAND FOR “OLD PRINTS.”

Are Imported in Vast Quantities— Trick of Washington Dealer.”

“oOld prints” are mow-a very fashfonable decoration, and the real thing is almost impossible to obtain. - But as demand invariably - breéeds. sdp])l,\?, the industry of manufacturing old prints while you wait has taken its place with the manufacture of other sorts of antiques. This is an infant industry, not p‘rop’erly_ protected: in this country, and the result is that the manufacture -flourishes abroad, and the prints are imported in vast quantities. They are very good pieces of work, too, for those who like that sort of decoration, though the drawing and the: colering are by no. means 'up to the standard of modern realism. One of the. curious happenings of the custom house that . brought out some of the facts connected with this industry occurred recently - when ofle of the dealers in Washington undertook . to import. a large collection ‘of “0ld” prints for sale. They were good enough to have gottén by the customs collector as the real thing: The paper was old in texture, and .care. fully discolored, and. fhe pictures were as ungainly in drawing -and un certain in coloring as the most exacting amateur ‘critic could have desired. The dealer, in order to impart a color of realism to the. proceeding, undertook- to import them as. genuine @antiques.
