Great Player and Coach Tells How It Is Done Falling

Coach and Offlclal of Nation-wide iiTnu7aiit 190i "na 1005, llnou,
During the first week of practice foot
ball players nro In constant danger ot
guttering minor Injuries which nro likely
to trouble them
throughout the sea
son. After a sum
mer of Idleness ono
generally accumu
lates a surplus of
fat nmt Is In poor
shape to stand tho
strenuous work. A
strained tendon, a
"charley horse." a.
bruised heel, a soro
shoulder and several
other things are like
ly to happen at any
time during this pe
riod and precautions
must bo taken to
avoid them.
The first thine to
bo considered Is tho
equipment of tho
player. It Is not
ti.fpMnrv to cet the

as the-stocking offers a protection against
scratches and also keeps tho dirt out of
cuts.
I FIT OF TOGS VITAL TOINT.
f TO my mind, tho most Important thing
In the equipment ot
I to be considered
clivers Is to see mat :i"w "
properly. Don't wear any cast-off attire
i..i ( tno lnrore or bo slopping around
kin a pair of shoes once worn by a man
twice your size. I have seen this done
en big collcgo teams and almost lnvanauij
the player-Has Deen irjww, ui..-
I would advlso a heavily padded suit for
early practice and work In the late fall
when the ground 1. frozen over, and a
lighter suit to be worn only In games.
Heavy shoes also should be worn during
practice, to bo replaced by lighter ones
curing the contests.
:'t .inrtim- the football season there
Vre three things which must bo prac
ticed until they are mastered. These are
handling tne bail, xorwara im
tackling. In modern football tho for
ward pass Js being used more and more
and the tenms aro beginning to use It
as the chief method ot attncK.
tr.niiHricr thh ball nroDcrly end tsck-
ii- ,.. mriimnntii of the sramo and ap-
'pear simple, but tney must do praamu
constantly, not only early In the year,
' but throughout the entire season. A
good tackier Is a vaiuame asset to a
team, but there are few playing the game
today who can bo regarded as "first
class."
PRACTICE IN FALLING.
Tha flrat thine to do safter the squad
appears Is to practice fattng on the ball.
Pipm tha men In a sing line and have
ithem tako turns nt dropping on the plg-
iam. uon i try 10 .i"vn v
Many games have been lost when play
era have tried this stunt, which gen-
! erally results In a fumble. First make
mre you have the ball and then scramblo
.0 your leei u you gei m. viiautc.
The easiest method of falling on the
Stall U the simplest. Take a long dive, If
Itlie pigskin ie a distance away, extend
Ithe arms and pull the ball to the body.
(Don't pick It up, but sweep it in tne arms
as Is shown In the pnoxograpn. oome
players InsUt on turning over after tho
ball Is In their possession. I wouldn't ad
Vlie thin, an it elves the onnonenta an ex-
fcum to hurl themselves UDon you and If
falto calls for a penalty for crawling.
n ine new open game nas put a premium
'en taking chances and as a result there
fire more fumbles. In nearly every game
'teat Is played tho ball Is dropped several
(tees and It Is necessary to know how
to fall on the pigskin and recover these
fumbles. The player should bo able to
rop on the ball from either side and
secure it under all sorts or conditions, a
aod plan Is to havo two men start for
me pall from opposite directions, in this
"aimer the player will learn to throw
Mresett between nn opponent and the ball
td have more chance to get It.
Do not fall on the ball. Fall around It
nd go after the ball with the hands and
Pull it toward you, as explained above.
TACKLING PItACTICB.
After falllhir on the ball for 'about 2
huite, the next thing to be taken up la
Jjtklliig. The best way to start this la
m send the nlayers down the field under
fyta. Tho men should line up' on each
"" of tho kicker and go down the field
pairs. At least three players should
lve the kicks, ono to catch tho ball
S the others to Interfere for the

IN FOOTBALL
BY "BOB" MAXWELL
AimCLE II ,
Rnl thCr Parl of hls lin,ltom' lhttt hlls
Tho poorest tacklers grnb their man
"ie neck or face or catch him above
tho hips In their efforts to pull him
down. While this slows up tho runner In
most cases, it does not throw him off his
T.t 5,"ont,mc', 1 hnvo spcn tho man
with tho ball drag ono ot theso "ncck-tl"
tacklers 10 and 15 yards when he should
have been dropped In his tracks. Tho
object in tackling Is to throw tho runner
to the ground and prevent further gain.
Sloppy tackling will not do It, so try to
master the clean-cut way from tho be
ginning. In tackling, tho player should bo nble
to get his man from both sides, strnlght
ahead and from behind. This can be
practiced on n tackling dummy, but If
that Is not procurable practice on tho
other placr. Go slow at first and prnc
tlco form. Tho best way to tackle a
man Is to get htm at the knees. Crouch
low. get a good leg drlvo and hit the
runner with your shoulder. Tin both of
his legs together with your nrms and
pull townrd you. but make suro that
you cet both tegs.
If you get your man properly he wilt
drop Immediately and will not gain an
Inch. In tackling from tho sldo, the body
Is depended upon moro than the shoulder.
The player should hurl his body across
tho path of tho runner and grab both
legs with the arms.
STRENGTH OF CARLISLE.
The Carlisle Indians nro regarded by
many ns tho best tacklers playing the
game todny. They seem to drop their
man every time, nnd they do It with lit
tle effort. In fact, they tacklo as If they
enjoy It.
Ono day last year I visited Carlisle
and rpent tho afternoon watching Glenn
Warner put the redskins through a hard
practice Although It was late In the
season a few days before Thanksgiving
Warner rehearsed his men In the rudi
ments of tho game" before running through !
signals ana scrimmage. First they fell
on the ball, then tackled the dummy and
the linemen pushed a heavy charging ma
chine up nnd down the field. After they
finished this work, I asked Warner If
constant prnctlce on the tackling dummy'
was responsible for the good tackling of
his players.
"The tackling dummy Is all right." ho
replied, "but my men learn most about
tacckling when they run the gauntlet."
"Running tho gauntlet" was a new ono
on me, but I had the pleasure of seeing It
worked before I left the field. Twenty
men lined up on tho gridiron, 10 on each
side, each man about 10 yards behind
the other. There were two lines running
parallel to the side lines nnd were separ
ated by a distance of about 10 yards. Thus
a sort of a lane was lormed between
the players. i
The man with the ball started down the
field, running straight at the first man.
If tho first man missed him, the player
on tho other side went after Tilm. When
tho runner was tackled, he got un and
,made for the next man, zigzagging his
way down the Held.
While I was watching, tho man with the
ball was thrown IS times before he
reached the end. This Is the hardest
kind ot work, but It teaches the men
how to tackle and it also Is the best
training In tho world for a man running
with the ball. It Improves his dodging
and use of stiff arm and also explains
some of tho brilliant runs pulled oft by
the Indians In their big namcf. I was
told that Jim Thorpe repeatedly has run
the gauntlet without once being thrown
from his feet.
RUNNING THE GAUNTLET.
After tho players learn the principles of
tackling, I would advise them to "run the
gauntlet" about three times a week. It
will be hard at first, but there Is nothing
that will do more tovlmprove your tack
ling. The training of a football player la
cry much the same as In other lines ot
sport. The first thing to do Is to avoid
tobneco nnd alcohol. Volumes have been
written about the bad effects of smoking
on football players, and several tons ot
tempcranco tracts will tell jou the evils
of drinking. This Is not a temperance
lecture, so I shall merely state that alco
hol nnd athletics never have or never will
go together. Perfect physical condition
le necessary, and this can be attained
only when nature takes Its course. Stim
ulants aro not necessary in fdotball, and
while they might Improve your work for
a short time, the effect soon wear, off
and you are In worse condition than be
fore. DIET FOR PLATERS.
The food problem also. Is important
Pork, veal, all kinds of pastry In fact,
everything that Is Indigestible should bo
tnboo. Tea and coffee sometimes are
given up; but this la not necessary. Beef,
mutton and poultry are good things to eat,
and you can go as far as you like In the
vegetable line. Baked potatoes are very
good, and toaat should be eaten at each
meal. For those who have not the ad
vantage of a training table, my advice
Is to adhere to a simple diet, but eat all
you want. But eat your biggest meal ot
the day in tho evening. Don't stuff your
self before a game. A couple of poached
eggs on toast, some potatoes and one
glass of milk will carry you through a
hard battle without danger ot getting
.low and "loggy."

PENN COACHES HOLD
INQUEST OVER GAME
WITH ALBRIGHT TEAM
Verdict Is That It Was Not a
Game, Therefore Hard Prac
tice Is Held for F.
and M. Contest
LINE-UP FOR SATURDAY
Pennsylvania's board of football coaches
held a meeting this afternoon before the
regular practice, In an effort to find whnt
was the consensus of opinion on tho faults
tho team displayed in the game against
Albright yerterday.
All agreed that Albright was so ex
tremely weak that absolutely no con
clusion could be drawn from the result.
Consequently they ordered a hnrd scrim
mage with the scrubs to eradicate some of
the defects which the men have been
showing all week.
As fast as the men reported they were
put to work on the fundamentals of the
gnme with particular reference to sharp
tackling nnd dodging. Thero was the
usual omount of punting nnd signal drill,
after which the first nnd second tenms
were called together for a scrimmage.
It has been decided to make no changes
in tho llnc-up for tho Frunklln and Mar
shall game on Saturday. Harry Ross Is
still laid up with the Injuries ho re
ceived In the West Virginia game, and
the coaches will not risk further hurt" to
him In Saturday's game.
. It Is expected that Frank Tlghe. who
played so well yesterday, will get the
place.

THE BACK SWING IN GOLF,
AS HARRY VARD0N DOES IT
Work of the Hands and Wrists Most Important, Yet
Body and Legs Play Important Part Directions
as to the Stroke
By JOHN ALBERT SCOTT
The first two fundamentals of the golf
swing have been described that Is the
grip and the stance; these are positions
In which tho plajer can place himself,
there la no continuous movement of the
body required to nssumo them, hence
there Is very little chanco for misunder
standing between the writer nnd the
reader. Tho difficulty now presents Itself
of picturing clearly the movements ot
the back swing.
Hoth reader nnd writer will be assisted
by tho photographs of the famous golfers
used to lllustrato this series, especially
na the photogrnphs are. of nctually
played strokes, and thus can be depended
on to convey correctly the right Idea.
To facilitate tho description of the back
swing I have divided It into three parts,
according to the combinations n"hd order
In which the Darts of tho bodv work.
These three divisions are the work of tho
nanus nnd wrists the nrms nnd shoul
der" and the body, legs and feet. Each
la distinct In Itself, but In actual play
tho three are naturally blended Into one
smooth, harmonious, unbroken move
ment, without the slightest hitch or stlff
ncas. Remember, however, that there la
a decided difference between stiffness and
tension.
Of theso three divisions, the work of
the hands and wrists Is by fnr the most
Important; for as they lead, tho others
must follow. It Is with tho hands nnd
wrists the stroke Is made, the other parts
npplylng their power through them. In
other words, the hands nnd wrists aro
tho "executive," connection between tho
player nnd the club. Hence It follows
that If the hands and wrists are allowed
to get out of control, there Is no means
by which the rest of tho body can do
its work effectively. This should be ob
vious, although It does not seem to be
so well recognized as It might be. Moat
of the bad strokes In golf can be traced
to the hands as the primary cause of
failure. If then the action of the hands
Is so Important, It is necessary to deter
mine carefully tho limits within which
they work in going to the top of the
swing, for their action must be within
very exact limits. They cannot bo per
mitted to wobble.
For the purpose of Illustrating the
action of tho hands nnd the limit of their
depnrturo from the straight backward
swing, photographs of Vardon, Braid,
Duncan nnd others will be used. These
men nil differ In physique, nnd are gen
erally said to use different types of
snlngs. Yet 1 think I can conclusively
show that within certain limits, which
will bo denned, they all follow the same
track In the back swing, when allowance
la made for their physical aptitudes and
limitations.
Two sensational shots were pulled out
of the pit guarding the ninth green at
"SO WE DUCKED THE PHILLIES"
A PATHETIC LITTLE BALLAD
Words and Music by Sherwood Magee and Hans Lobert
Philadelphia Looks Like Permanent Seat of
World's Series Battles
By GRANTLAND RICEt
Renniem
(As chanted by Hans Lobert and Sherry
Mngee.)
TTe icere alcfc of being trailers.
We were sore at being staves.
And 10 we ducked the Phillies
For the Olants and the Braves,
And so we ducked the Phillies
With a loud and cheery hall,
To edge in with the winners
And to gather in the kale.
And so we ducked the Phillies
For a club that had a chance
To gather in the ducats
In the old world series dance;
And if you ever want us
Through the winter you can find us
A'tinging of a ditty called
"The team we left behind us."
Lobert and Magee should saunter forth
and shake hands with those citizens who
sold Bethlehem Steel at Ci.
Ithat has become of the old-fashioned
world series that the Olants or Cubs
used to play against the Athlctlcs7
Add Another Record
Chicago set tho first mark when sho
rang up four world series within five
j ears. At that time the Cook County
citadel was charged with having a
monopoly on the Big Show.
But that record, which ran from 1906
through 1910. with but one gap, Is now
retired by Philadelphia. With the excep
tion of 191Z, Philadelphia fanatics havo
enjoyed local world series thrills since
1910. In five of tho Inst six years Phila
delphia has had, or will havo had. one
section of the Big Stuff displayed before
her populace. .,,..,

ini atniida as follows: Philadelphia, (I;

burgh, Z.
Hero Is an Important detail In connec
tion with the world series outcome, viz.:
Seven Ameilcan League managers are
picking the Bed Sox and seven National
League managers are picking the Phillies.
Using this as a basis, go on to It. It's
a cinch.
Developing a Pause
Tho baseball expert was deeply Involved

advance the winner of the world series.
He had his statistics charted and his
conclusions already deftly set.
At which moment he recalled the fact

Answering a Query
You ask ,me who I think will win the
seriei;
You ask what club I think will call tha
bluff;
If Leonard, Ruth and Shore can prevent a
winning score
Or if Qrover Alexander has the stuff;
I'd like to slip a Up that was a breeder
Of dope that you might follow for the
clans;
But your guess is just as good es tnfae,
O. Header,
And mine is Just as good ar Pat lloran's.
Pointing a Moral
In the majority of cases there Is al
ways a worthy moral to be extracted from
the career of the victor.
Last season the Braves proved that It
was possible for a good, game entry to
come from behind and finish flrat: that
raw courage was one of the vital factors
of success.
ThlB season the Phillies have proved an
even finer point. They have shown that a
bull club could play clean, sportsmanlike
baseball, leave the umpires alone and still
be aggressive enough to finish first.
Tho Phillies have had no men lined or
suspended this season. They have had
but two ordered from the coaching lines.
Umpire baiting has been no part of their
policy. They have shown that It isn'fnec
essary to becomo vicious to land In front.
Their season's play has been a big help
for a cleaner, fairer type of game.
The good right arm of Alexander may
be able to accomplish more against the
ned Sox than the big bats of Crawford,
Cobb and Vcach. But, grab It from
Hughey Jennings, it's quite a Job, quite a
Job.
