l r ', '' Ai'A EVENING LEDGER- - VUBLffllA, ETOBfiDA, OCTOBER 26. 1016 p OLWEtL-WARNER GUESSING CONTEST PROBABLY WILL DECIDE SATURDAY'S BIG BATT1 PENk-PITTSBURGH GAME WILL , BE BATTLE OP WITS BETWEEN FOLWELL AND GLENN WARNER Coaches of Contesting: Teams Are Recognized as Two of Most Competent and Resourceful Tacticians in Game i TWO of the greatest coaches on tho trrldlron will try to outguess each othor when Fenn and Pitt meet on Forbes Field Saturday afternoon. Two of the greatest exponents of "open football" will unleash their teams and send them out to battle In what promises to be ono of the greatest games played In this State for many years. It will not bo tho first time Hob Folwell and aienn Warner havo matched wits from the sldo lines, but It Is tho first time Folwoll has been In com mand of an eleven on which so' much has been nt stake. The players on both teams will do as they nro told and move like pawns on a chessboard. The real battle, however, will bo fought on each sldo of tho field, where the opposing coaches, like movlng-plcturo directors or generals on the firing line, will attempt to pick out tho vulnerable spots and then hurl their forces nt the weakened posi tions In the march to the final chalk mark. For the first time In years Iho football teams havo been relegated to tho distant backgrbund. They only aro of secondary Importance, as Folwoll and Warner will fight It out between themselves, and tho best guosser will win. Tho Fenn coach Is placed at a disadvantage, howover, aa he Is Installing a now system and It has not yet reached Its highest stato of emclency. Tho players are Just beginning to learn, and It Is a question If they will have absorbod enough knowl edge to cope with the vetorans at Pitt. Warner has all but ono man of the undo feated 101S eleven, and his system, which Is an Improvement on tho dazzling, whirlwind Carllslo attack, has had time to be perfected. Both Warner and Folwell have succeeded In tho coaching field because they taught common sense football and have shown unusual strategy at critical times. Neither believes in a large number of plays, particularly of a freak nature, both preferring to thoroughly school their teams In a few plays that havo been proved effective If worked perfectly, though as a rulo they master ono trick play of an original nature ovcry season, and this play Invariably Is pulled Just nt the proper time. , Last year Pitt's offense was considered the most powerful In the country because Warner had perfected Interference like that of tho famous Indian olovona of soveral years ago, and cloverly used off-tackle plays and his famous reverse play, which really Is nothing but tho antique discarded criss-cross worked from a different formation. Forward passes wrere few and far betweon In Pitt's games last season, despite the fact that Warner was the first man to conceive the pos. slbtlltlcB of this play. At Washington and Jefferson Folwell originated tho famous "basebal pass," which was largely responsible for his success with light and In experienced material. Warner to Use Forward Pass, Is Belief WEIAT have these two master strategists planned for 'Saturday's battle? The Impression Is general nt Franklin Field that Warner has porfected a choice bunch of forward passes to be used when Pcnn brings Its backs close to tho lino to smash up the wonderful Pitt Interference. If Warner has perfected eevoral i forward passes of about fifteen yards, Pcnn's defense will bo kept busy through out the gamo, and surely will havo a hard time stopping, the nine and Gold. Last season Penn played an extra man on tho line throughout tho game and broke up Pitt's off-tackle plays after tho first few minutes of play, because Warner was so busy perfecting his Interference and building a defenso that ho neglected tho forward pass. It Is said that thrco or four veteran football men, who nro known to bo partial to Pitt, have been trying to Impress upon Folwell that Warner does not think much of tho forward pass nnd will not use It against Penn. The Penn coaches havo an Idea that Warner Is allowing this Impression to f reach them In hopes that tho Red and Blue will use tho namo defenso that was successful lost season, and will bo helpless to stop the forward pass. Coach Fol .well says that he does not Intend to bo caught napping and that he will Instruct tho secondary defepse to uso. tho aanjo defensive stylo that was successful for W. and J. against Pitt. Folwell knows the Pitt system and Its style of defense and has an Idea that one or two new trick plays that ho has perfected will bewilder the Western Penn ylvanlans. One of these plays Is likely to be a forward pass, unlike anything ever used, andtlt It Is pulled at tho proper time, It may mean a victory for Penn, if the Red and Blue defense Is prepared for Warner's strategy. Strategy Has Won Many Games WARNER'S strategy has turned the tide many times In his long and successful career as a coach. It was Just fourteen years ago that Glenn Warner first got Into tho limelight as a strategist, and his bit of crafty planning resulted In an Indian victory over Harvard. It was In this game that Warner pulled the "hidden ball" trick and scored a touchdown on the opening kick-off. Harvard kicked off to the Indians and the Redskin who got the ball made no attempt to advance. Instead the entire Indian team bunched at 'the 15-yard line. When tho Crimson players charged down the field, they saw ono of the backs, break for one side of the field, apparently with the ball tucked under his arm. Naturally they dashed toward him and he was downed close to the sideline. They failed to notice that ono Indian stood still In the center of tho field while they were after "tho man with the ball." They awoke when this Indian, Dillon, had crossed the goal line and was doing a contortionist act trying to get the ball from beneath his Jersey, where It had been tucked -by the player receiving, the kick-off. This play made Warner famous, and his Indian teams were feared because of the unexpected and sensational trick plays they pulled year after year. It was Warner who perfected the crlss-crosa that had been declared a falluro when tried by Princeton, Yale nnd other large colleges years before. It also was Warne.r who conceived the possibilities of tho forward pass, and his success with this play was largely responsible for tho rule changes restricting Its use. How Hollcnback's Eleven Was Defeated PinLADELPHIANS never will forget the day when the Indians swamped J3111 Hollenback's poworful Penn eleven In 1907 with the forward pass. Every team was experimenting with tho forward pass, but no other coach succeeded In perfecting It as quickly as Warner. Tho game was only a few minutes old when Pete llauser dropped back as If to punt and the fans were amazed to see him hurl the ball almost fifty yards In the air into the arms of Exendlne, who stepped across the goal lino for a touchdown. A few minutes later tho play was repeated to Gardner, the other end, and then a series of short, snappy passes and fake passes With tho back dashing around the ends, bewildered the Red and Blue still more. Last Saturday BUI Hollenback's Syracuse team was prepared for a choice as sortment of trick plays, but Warner's strategy fooled tho Salt City team completely. During the entire game Warner used only two plays, a line buck and an end run. Several formations were used for the two plays, but Warner did not pull- a thing out of tho ordinary. He had many fake formations that caused Syracuse to spread Its defense while the Pitt backs shot outside the tackles and through tho supposedly Invincible guards, but did not uncover a thing that would do a scout any good. Another odd move Warner made In this game was to start pounding away at White and Schlachter, Syracuse's giant guards. Tho average coach would direct plays anywhere but at the strongest point In the opposing team's defense, but Warner Instructed his quarterback to pound Hollenback's giants. White and Echlacter were badly battered In the first few minutes of play, and when 'they lowed down the Syracuse team lost confidence and went to pieces. Certain Philadelphia 'fight promoters are very much peeved at Jack Dillon, and the Indianapolis middleweight Is not likely to be asked to box before the patrons of that club again. Dillon took his match with Williams In this city, knowing that he was booked to meet the tough Levlnsky In Boston the following night, and he stalled through six rounds In order to save himself for the latter bout, Dillon did not make much of a hit In his last three bouts In the East and some people are beginning to ask "where Dillon got his wonderful reputation. The Hoosler middleweight looks llko a fighter and veterans of the ring declare that he Is a "man-killer," but wo might oak, "Whom did he ever beat?" "AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING?"

The players aSid followers of tennis throughout the country havo been strongly against the moement that allowed tho the men who make a livelihood Belling ten nis goods, but tho climax camo when, lnnt September, Clatro Cassel, a woman of na tional tennis reputation, was declared a professional tennis player because she skated for money. Now Playing Hero Miss Cnssel was notified of the nctlon of the commltteo by beorge Adee, president of the U. S. N. L. T. A. Sho was called oft the court during a match and Informed over the phone sho was Incllglblo to play. She said nho would not contest the decision, and Justly so, that her Bkattng was not a sport, but a profession, quite as much as any actor or actress. Miss Cosset Is now here In Philadelphia, skating In "Hip I. Hip! Hurray," the New York Hippodrome show at the Metropolitan Opera House. Her case Is before the local sporting public. Consider the Influence that this decision of the U. S. N. I T. A. mny have. Suppose It were followed to Its logical end. Miss Cassel Is skating In a show that has some 1500 persons partici pating. If she Is a tennis professional be cause sho Is paid for skating In this show are not all the other 1499 members like wise Ineligible to compete In sanctioned tournaments? If bo, then all members of all shows. In fact the whole theatrical pro fession, must be ruled out of amateur sport. Why discriminate against the skater? There Is the dancer I Miss Cassel's skating Is as tar removed from the popular sport as Mrs. Vernon Castle's style of dancing Is from the averago ball-roorn clodhopper. If this does now follow, then the ruling of the association Is a direct discrimination against Miss Cassel. This cannot be, for there cannot be attributed to the associa tion anything more serious than a little case of warped Judgment from an oerzeal ous deslro to keep the sport clean. Rightful Return What should we strive to eliminate from tennis? The answer Is decidedly the actual capitalization of one's playing ability. Tho more fame one gets Is Just as useful In com mercial lines of all kinds as In the selling of tennis goods. This Is a rightful return for the time and energy expended. It Is not harmfut to the game. It Is a healthy sign of the Increasing Interest In tennis. It Is the man who gets paid for teaching or playlng'tennls that must bo eliminated. He, alone, Is the true professional. The Idea that professionalism In one sport means professionalism In all Is ridiculous, foolish and narrow-minded. Why should a professional pool player be Ineligible to play tennis? Such far-fetched conceptions of clean sport do more to harm a game than help It. -" Whetf the amateur rule comes up at the annual meeting It will have the backing of the president and other omcora because It is the child of the association. The men and clubs of the Far West. Middle West, and a great portion of the South and Hast, are absolutely set against It, They will send their representatives to New York instructed to defeat the proposed rule. The secretary, however, will hold all Instructed proxies from clubs not present to vote as he sees fit PURSE AND GLORY MATCHES LOOM AHEAD ON GOLF LINKS, PROMISING LUMINOUS PLAY Pros May Battle for Big Purse Feminine Golfers Consider Team Match By SANDY McNIBLICK EXHIBITION matches, not ns yet ontlre ly framed up. seem to bo Ufa main at tractions on tho golf cards for next week.

KEYSTONE STATE WELL RRVm ANY RIVAL COMMONWEALTH II PRODUCING, WrJB ALL MACHIN With Penn. Pitt, Penn State, W. & J.. Swarf Vim, Lehigh and Others in Line, This State Well Represented on Gridiron "v By GRANTLAND RICE ' LEAVING the Intersectlonal quarrels i aside for the moment, the State of Pennsylvania Is well beyond any rival com monwealth In producing football machines. New York has Cornell, "West Tolnt nnd Syracuse for her main entries. Massachusetts has Harvard as her lead er, Connecticut has Yate and New Jersey has Princeton and Itutgers. But Pennsylvania has Fenn, Pittsburgh University, Tcnn State, Washington and Jefferson to say nothing of Swarthmore, Lehigh and other. When Penn slumped a few years back, Carllslo was Ihero to carry on the war. As the Indian began to skid, Tenn State nnd W. nnd J. were ready. And now there Is Pittsburgh, with one of the great ma chines of America, on top of the Job. Two years ago we recall starting a cer tain requiem In this strain: These are the saddest of possible campuses, Michigan, Tcnn nnd Cornell; Sad as the morgue where the corpse of a grampus Is, Michigan, Tenn and Cornell"; eto. Tho Dangerous Trio Two years can produce quite n change. Since that date Cornell has come to the crest of the summit, with a fair chance of repeating this fall. Penn, under Hob Fol well. Is on her way back In a hurry with the scalp of Pcnn State In her grip. Michigan has shown more power than In somo time, w(th promise of better dajs ahead. The change has been sufficient to mako the Mlchlgan-Penn, the Michigan Cornell nnd Penn-Cornell games assume more Interest than they have known for many drifting seasons. And this -triple-coated Interest will be nil the greater If Cornell hangs another knock-out upon Har ard'a Jaw this Impending Saturday. After G. Burgess J never picked an aU-star guard; I never hope to pick one; But I can tell jou fAls, old pard, I'd rather pick than kick one. If any university eleven has a strong de fense which It wishes to hae tested thor oughly, we recommend Glenn Warner's Pittsburgh machine as a fairly tidy little tester In a pinch. The Split-Up Season Captain T. I Huston, of the New York Yankees, Is one magnate who believes tho double championship Is worth consideration. Thero Isn't any doubt whatsoever but that a six months' campaign, wherein at least five clubs are generally out of the running after three months' play. Is an affair en tirely too long drawn out. Dy ending the first half July 4 and start ing a new campaign tho day after thtre would be a certainty of general Interest until September, anyway.
