Bitnacrlt. The verj best way NOT to learn lhj game Is for beslnners to study
the rules. It takes jears of study to get ex en a working knowledge, and when It
eemes to the finer points tile so-called experts And themselves ut sea. New
problems constantly aie cropping up and sometimes they arc rnswered conectly.
There Is one rule In tho "ook which says that a kicked ball, excepting a
klckoff and a free kick, becomes a touchback whon It cresses the goal line. This
should be perfectly clear, but It Is strange that the players Invailahly play It wrong.
, Xast Saturday Pitt kicked Ijio ball over the goul lino on two separate occasions
-and each tlmo the Red and Blue plaer loafed toward tho ball as If It were a
totlchback and absolutely dead. Tho I'Ut players were on the Job. however, rnd
0Jpe the ball almost was recovered. Had this been done, the olllclals would hao
called It a touchdown. It's a good thing to lemember. for It may come In handy
ome .time,
Tills play should be so well known to plaers, coaches and olllcliils that It Is
, ec6nd nature, but we will venture to say that more thni one-half of them hae
forgotten all about It. One day we attended a football game und the ball was
kldked over the goal line six times. Hach time the referee blew his whistle,
declaring the ball dead and calling It a touchback and there wasn't a bltigio kick
from .the players or the coach.
rf
- ANOTHEIt time the ball was kicked oer the goal Hue and rolleJ toward
XX the fence. Players on both sides gathered In the far end of the field
' , to talk things over 'while thevreferee stood, expectantly waiting for sonic
one to fall on tho oval, lie waited a couple of minutes und then jelled:
"Anybody want hat ball?"
"Go get It jourself. Don't joti know the rules?" was the reply. Take
It out to the 20-yard lino us Is always tho case when there is a touchback."
Then the referee blew his whistle and the two coaches almost dropped
dead on the sideline.).
The Safely Also Is a Tough Rule for the Players io Master
TT "WOULD be a good plan for the coaches to rplain to their players tho deflnl-J-
tfon of a safety and drill It Into them day after day. This fools nlne-tonths of
the men. playing today and there seems to be no hope. A safety Is made when
the Impetus which carries tho ball across the goal lino comes from tho h'do
defending the. go 'j'hls should be borne In mind at all times and will help
Cons!derabl in doping out plajs. The only exception Is on a blocked kick
t Which bounds off an orponent. If the side defending tho goal gets tho ball
behind the lino It Is a safctj, but If the others get iU It Is a touchdown.
Last week In a prep school game a player touched the ball on the klckulT and
It rolled 0v.r the goal line Immediately he figured that It would bo a tafety If
he touched the ball down, ss he picked It up and sta-tcd to run. Ho made about
twenty-five yards before he was tackled, but It was n wild cliance. He did not
make a safety possible 'watn ho touched the ball, because tho impetus came from
the opposing sice. The rules say that a klckoff can sound olf tho bedy of a player,
cross tho goal line and It will be a touchbuck If a defender of tho goal recovers it.'
This fs perfectly clear und no chances should be taken. Tho defending side gets
t twenty j,ards en u touchbuck, but If a man tries to run It out and is tackled on
. the 2-yard Knc, tho ball Is put Into play on that spot. The best thine to do is to
take a touchback In all cases.
Another typical bout Is pulled almost every week und wo ulwas wonder Low
U hap;ned. Home player always hands the opposing side a gratuitous feufety
With two po!nt3 attached, believing all of the tlmo that ho ' doln:; something great.
"When Pitt played West Virginia on .Septe-nter 29, a Pitt man picked up the ball
on bin own 2-yard lino and carried ncross for what ho bellced was a touch
back. But It easily can be seen that the Impetus which curried the ball over the
line came from the sMe defending the goal and there wasvno argument about tho
afety.
. .
LVST Saturday Stale grabbed a lucky victor over West Virginia Wes
leyan by the unusual score of 8 to 7. rfnedgar. the loser's ui.ai icrback,
' took a perfect pass from the center and touched the ball down behind his
own goal line, giving Stato the needed two points and tho game. Knodgar
said he feared a blocktd punt and u possible State touchdown. It was
another case of not knowing the lules.
Muzzles Should be Provided for Talkative Substitutes
TmilSN a substitute Is sent into the game, he Is not allowed to carry Information
' ' from the sidelines or talk to any member of his team until after one play Iies
been run off. If he wants to switch the positions of the plajers, he speaks to the
referee and that ofllclal hands out the Information. If anything Is said by tho
ubstllutc, however, his team Is penalized fifteen yards. The sub must maintain a
discteet bllence at all times.
"When Cornell placed 'Williams, a sub came i unnlng out on the field. "Kep
Quiet: don't nay a word!" jelled the plajers on his eldc. "Not a word until after
the JIftt play!"
Tho substitute nodded, hut acted as if ho were bursting with tome kind of
orders. He .took his place In the' backfleld, rubbed his hands together" and Leforc
the signal was given bhouted:
"Come on, nowboj-s! Get after them! Use the old style of p!aj I"
This cost his team fifteen j-ards.
This rule was Inserted to work against the football coach who is supposed
to be on the sidelines for the sole purpose of giving signs and sending In orders
to balk the enemy. If the coach takes off his hat. crosses his legs, lights a fresh
cigarette or takes off his coat, the opponents imagine that some signs are given
and howl their protest to. the referee. They fear the wigwag system or a system
of signs like that used by ball plajers. The officials, t?o, oro constantly on tho
, lookout, for If a substitute comes running across the field' with botii hands flapping
behind his ears. It might be that he Is giving a signal to his team.
i
milB rule la & good otle and should be alilctly observed. It would be
-L better If no orders were sent out on the field and allow the players to
work out their own salvation, but the rules committee evidently figured
that this could not be done, Atter one play has been made nothing In tho
worm coum iceep a piaj'cr silent It he wanted to talk, so the rule was
made accordingly.
Flocks of Substitutes Slowed Up the Game in the Past
Tims IU3MEMBEII one game between Dartmouth and Princeton some years ago.
' Princeton had the big team on the run and Frank Cavanauah almost was
distracted. Uls players always did the wrong thing at the right time and the Held
Koneralshlp was terrible. He, therefoio, began to send In substitutes with Instruc
tions. By the time the game was over fourteen men were used and the regular
team was resting on the sidelines. Of courte, this weukened Dartmouth and the
fctame was lost. This practice v.oiktd against the team and It was up to tho rules
.committee to DOlnt out the error and correct it. ThU u , ..r fi. ..... ...,,i ..i

EVANS'S BRASSEY SHOT, MAXWELL'S
LONG PUTT AND BARNES AND LOOS'S
STRING OF WINS FEATURES OF MATCH
Loos Makes Up for Loss of Fourth Hole by Win
ning It Monday Some Interesting Statistics
of Two Famous Contests
Uy I'KTKK
THCRi: vieTO many high lights In the
big match at Whltcuiarsli Monday.
Those who k.i tlio final niatrli between
naidncr and Kvans In the national amateur
championship at Merlon last sear will re
member that Uardncr then tho amateur
champion, tool; four putts on the fifteenth
hole In the morning lound. Yet t'hlck took
five shots on tho llrnl holo ut Whltemnixli
to i each the gieon Ho had a long tee shot,
only a feu jaid1! back of Dumps, lie was
thoroughly chlllnil by his rid from Beth
lehem TIip Focond chot from where hn lay
vias an eary Iron Yet he hooked the li-WI
short. Bent his third In the trap to the right
and took another bcfoie he was out and
another before he was on Chick had hard
lurk on the thlid, for his second shot was a
beauty, about tan feet from the pin. But
I.oos dropped his approach In from the edga
of the green for a win On three holes in
a low- Loos had but a dingle putt.
On tho 'ninth, llvans won tho first holo
for the amateurs with it well-gauged twenty-foot
putt, on the thirteenth, KvaiiH laid
his approach dead for a bird and Barnes
did tho same thing on tho fourteenth.
Barnes repeated on tho fifteenth. He tool:
but one ;ult on the MMeenth On the seven
teenth, Barnes holed out from the lot and
It turned out that lie had promised t-vo
women members of the club that ho would
have an eagle on this hole. In these four
holes Barnes took but ono putt on thieo
holes, holing out on his approach on the
other, and his total was twelve strokes, and
his actual figures were four threes In a
row, a very eUiaordlnary feat
In the afternoon tho umateurs had th;
fourth hole apparently won, but Loos saved
I It by running down a twentWootei for a.
i half. In the foit.v -two-hole match Loos
missed a putt on this, the fortieth hole.
I whli! was about u foot and a halt long
On Mondn.v he won out in the moinlug and
h ilveil It in llie afternoon.
Evans's Remarkable lirassey Shot
l'crhapj the ono shot that sticks out Is
that brasfey shot of 'hlck Uvans on tho
eighth hole of the afternoon lound. 11m
had dilveti out of bounds and his second
tee shot was well thoit of the others nd
the grfen seemed a mile away. Betwee-i
him and th" green was tho big trap, and
the piofesjonals who saw- him take out
his brastey bald the carry was fully 210
Sards But he hit a n-reamlng shot that
fairly whittled anu tho shot was fully2C0
yards long This was the holo on which he
got his only six.
The eleventh holo was an interesting ex
hibition of hlttlmr. It Is 525 yards long
and each time Ilvans had the longest drive,
and both time'', in spite of the fact tlfat his
hall lay In the lough, his lirassey was
furthei thin the "econd shots of the other
players. Tho wind was head-on both
morning and afternoon and his two thots
v-ere beautiful. In the nftemoon both
B.uneH and Looh were In the big trap to
the left on their drives and both used mld
iions o'it for long distances, two very fine
shots, as do tiap is tteep, and It lequlred
qutte a 1 ' to get the ball out so as to
escape the i.anks of the trap.
It does not seem possible to have an
PUTTER
oi dinar) mateh at Whitcmarsh. Here are
two matches, and the first goes forty-two
holes and tho other thirty-eight. Both
were replete with sensational shots and
those who missed them will regret it for
years, for these matches will be discussed
long after the present war is over.

How deep they sleep in endless dreamt;

But through the ghostly drifts that play
Wc know, through bugle, fife and drum,
That somewhere Over There today

We know the raro thanks we should feel
So far from any foe's advance,
Safe from the shrapnel and the steel
Which rains its fury doivn on France;
But in our hearts we also know
The old content's forever gone,
Where on some far dream's undertow
The Great Adventure calls us on.
By all the ghosts of No Man's Land.
Through all its fury, flame and flood,
On through the anguish each must stand
In wallow-drifts of mud and blood,
On through whatever hells may wait
With marching feet and rolling drum,

A summary of the best ball for the four
men shows that IJarnes, Buxton, I.003 and
Maxwell had ten par holes, five birds, two
eagles and one over par, the short fourth.
Hvans, Maxwell, IJarnes and Loos had ulna
par holes, teveu birds and two eagles.
Barnes had eagles 011 the fifth and twice on
the seventeenth, and Looa on the third, it
Is a curious fact that neither quartet could
get birds on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
and neither quartet could get better than1
par 011 the seventh and eighth. In every
other case the hole was made in either a
bird or eagle. It may be Interesting to

QUARTET OF QUAKER CITY BOXERS
TO DONATE FIVE PER CENT OF RING
EARNINGS TO RED CROSS BENEFIT
FOL'H Philadelphia boxers have an
nounced their -Intention to give a portion
of their ring earnlr.gs for the benefit of the
AmerUan Bed Cross, and it Is probable
many other fistic performers In this city
will fall In line before long to do ihelr
"bit" through the use of nature's weapons.
Kddle McAndrevvs, Johnny Tillman, Joe
Welsh and Johnny Mealy are going to cut
5 per cent of their money for the great
cause, and If every boxer In the country
was to be taxed the same many thousands
of dollars weekly would pour into ffls
coffers of the Red Cross.
Tillman will bo the first of the boxers
here to come across with his little divvy,
lie meets Buck Fleming at the Cambria
tomorrow- night, and Muggsy Taylor, the
Minneapolis welterweights manager, will
donate 5 per cent of Tillman's share to the
Bed Cross tomorrow through the Kvknino
Lgoann. The other three boxers also will
subscribe their "bits" to the, fund through
the liVENmo Ledger, and boxers who have
real, red American blood flowing In their
veins can show their patriotism In the same
way. '
Tillman Generous ,

Is not to be left out of the day's gossip. Net
precisely. In fact, by no means.
"Informal football" as a phraso possibly
means something. But lust how much for
mality have you ever observed In the aver

football game, including the cheer leader
and the referee'.'
Why Shouldn't They Be?
"Probably the two best backfleld men or
tho year," suggests a contemporary, "are
Oliphant. of the Arms, and Guyon, of
Georgia Tech '
They probably arc. Why shou'dn't they be?
This Is a season, In tho main, of new- men.
Most of the old stars have gone on. But
Oliphant and Guyon are football -eterans
even beond the extended limit of the term.
Wo happened very recently to be delving
In rome football guides dealing with grid
Iron events of 1312 and 1913. In these
more than passing mention was made of the
All-Amorlcin merit of Oliphant, of Purdue,
and Guyon, of Carlisle.
And those were back In tho days when
star talent was abounding and plentiful.
Figure In all the unusual experience they
have both drawn In these last four or five
years an 1 the lack of competitive talent,
and tho only wonder Is tint any others
could be even close.
Yet there are at least one or two who
are willing to indulge tho hunch that Strup
per, of Tech, and Berry, of Penn, aro not
very far away from these veterans, who
might be known as tho Wagner and the
Lajole of football.

Should Tax Boxers '
The soldiers over there, and those that
are to go over, will need a lot of attention
In their gallant eadeav'or to knock out au.
tocracy. The only vvhy to make life as nice
as possible Is through good money and a
plenty of the green stuff. If every pro
moter In the United States was to tax the
boxers C per cent for the purpose of turn
ing over the proceeds to the Bed Cross It
Is doubtful it a single gladiator would
voice even a dissenting murmur.
The sooner those connected with the box
ing game lntefcfst themselves with the fact
that the Red Cros U most essential In
deciding the great war the sooner Uncle
Sam will find an opening In the guard ot
BUI the Tyrant through which to shoot his
deadly knockout wallop, ,
Bobby Gunnls Is so anxious to match
Joe Welsh with Johnny Tillman that he Is
willing to separate himself from 25 per cent
of BIr Joseph's money, lo be given to the
Bed Cross. It Tillman Is the winner Till,
man Is perfectly satisfied to make the same
sacrifices If Welsh beats him. Here Is a
thance for a promoter to get 25 per cent
of either' money for the great cause besides
their other S per cent split.
Tillman and WeUh are ready to box
before a local club, the loser to be deter

Airplane Type Motor
Under ordinary conditions, this powerful twelve
cylinder National serves with surprising ease. Yet
it is only the strenuous situation that can reveal its
full merit. Put to such a test, we believe that it will
out perform any genuinely "stock" car in the world.
And it is very economical, bbth of tires and fuel.
