Movies Supplant Scouts
ERHAPS some one will make a vigorous protest about
j: J- the telephone system in football, out I can t see unere
there can be any objection. It nngtit ue sam nun u win
cause more coaching from the sidelines, but J doubt it.
The coaches have stopped thU practiic of their own ac
cord that is. the majoritv of the coaches. True, the
team will benefit considerably, but the idea is not copv
rifhtwl nnl the other side may use the j.ame system. To
' f my mind the game will be much better in the future.
JF i Footbnll has advanced quite a little in the lat few
years, particularly in routing opposing teams, unce
upon a time a football scout look his life in his hands
when ho visited n rival gridiron, hut that has passed.
Now the scouts write for their tickets and nre seated in
advantageous spots in the stands.
However, the scout is lilv'!y to pass out of the picture
In a very short time. II,. i, not needed because of the
'moving-picture nwhines. Cameras are trained on every
game and every play is registered. Showing several reels
to a football 6quad Is better than listening to n report of
n scout nnd studying dingrnms of plays. Moving pictures
have supplauted the oldtlme siout.
A tdiort time ngo u Huston newspaper man wns talking
nbout the Harvard-Princeton game, which wns saved in
the last few minutes of play by the Crimson v,heu n for
ward pass resulted in n touchdown. Harvard tried nnother
pass after that, but it was intercepted by Oharrlty. Then
the game ended.
"Harvard nlmost won that game." said the scribe,
"but the bail was passed to the wrong man. Fltts was
standing under the goal posts all alone and could have
made a touchdown had the pluy been worked properly.
"I kuow thnt Kitts was there because I saw the moving
pictures of the game."
TITITH the movies Inking n prominent part in the
'' gnines, the eonrhes no lnnirr ran find nn cxeuie
to sidestep the numbering of players. Anyieay, teith
telephones nnd moving-pirtme machines in evi
rfener, the game must be getting modern.
Canncll Should Succeed
DARTMOUTH made u wise selection when Jack Cannell
wus appointed head football coach the other day.
Cannell is one of the youngest gridiron mentors in the
country, but knows the gaine nnd has the nbility to teach
it. In other words, he has executive nbility.
Cannell has had a meteoric career. Undergraduate In
miO, nsslstant coach and general handy man in 1!)20 and
head coach in 11)21. When playing on the team, Jack was
one of the best field generals in the land. In addition lie
was n wonderful open-field runner. I never saw better
work in returning punts thnn that done by Cannell in
the Pcnn-Dnrtmiiuth game in 1H10.
The new conch should be suci esful because he knows
sound football nnd has the respect and confidence of his
players.
Wilde Night for Herman
PKTK HERMAN, who is billed as the bantam champion
of the world, will meet .limmy Wilde in London to
night. The Uritishers nre nil het up about the fus nnd
believe their Jimmy will win by n knockout. Then the
title will be claimed, regardless of the fact that Joe Lynch
won it n couple of weeks ago in New York.
It would not be at nil surprising if Wilde won tonight.
Herman is n great little lighter, but is handicapped by
poor eyesight. He has a sty nn the right eye nnd the left
is not any too good. If u man can't sec he can't fight,
which looks like a good argument.
Wilde is n stiff puncher and has n long string of knock
outs to his credit. He should not have much trouble with
Herman.
McBridc as Manager
t EOItOE McIJUIDE-lias been pppointed manager of the
VJT Washington baseball club, which shows that faithful
scrxico occasionally is appreciated in our national game,
(ieorge has been (iriffith's chief assistant for many years
and knows the By stem used by the Old Fox.
Mil'ride is the seventh new manager to be named this
year. Four nre in the Ameriinn nnd three in the Na
tional. Ty Cobb will have charge of Detroit. Fohl of St.
I.ouis, Hugh Duffy of l'oton nnd Mcliiide of Washington.
In the National Mitchell will be in Iloston. Johnny Evcrs
in rhieigo and lli'l Donovnn in Philadelphia.
This is the biggest thake-up iu usnagcrs the game
has fceeu for some time.
LOOKS as if Judge Landis is disenwring some new
angles in baseball. Already he has threatened t
resign and the season is three months away.

SOCCER TEAM SHOULD
HA VE GOOD HEADERS
Ability to Propel Ball With Skull Useful to Every Player
on Eleven Particularly Valuable Asset for Full
back Points for Beginners
Hy BOUGIES STEWAKT
islih lit llie 1 nhcrslly ot I'dinsjlvanla Soccer Kleicn. Inlercollrirlnto Clinmplons.
THE net of heading the ball Is nn
extremely useful accomplishment for
every man on a soccer team. The coal
kreper can sometimes use it, but he had
better not unless lie is a wonder at it,
and if he is a wonder at thnt he is
probably MilhYIent of u wonder to play
in some other part of the field.
The fullbacks have much nnd fre
quent ue for It, almost ns much ns for
their feet. The halfbacks have very
much use for it, together with nil the fine
touches of di flection and propulsion in
their feeding tactics. The forwards
lyive quite as much use for it nsvthc
liulxes. Its advantage in ndwiucing the
bull is marked.
Curiously enough, the best -developed
headers I kno.w nre the teams from St.
I.ouis and thereabouts, (iood heading
in the forward line has all the advan
tages of short passing, with tho nddi
tional advantage that the opposing
halves nnd backs nre not so liable to
connect with the ball. It is useful to
the shooting forwards in intercepting
high passes and converting them into
shots. It is useful to the wing forwards
in receiving high passes which would
otherwise go into touch, and instead of
allowing tho pass to be wasted it is
collected and either swung in to an
uncovered mite or to n vacant spot
where no opponent can get it before thc
player does.
A center forward can make almost
as much use of the heading pass as the
center half can in feeding nnd passing.
Particularly can the i enter forward use
it in his efforts to beat the center half,
who is doing his utmost to stop him
fioni receiving the ball on u goal kick
or nn equivalent kick. This tussle al
ways happens when two good teams arc
playing.
art of heading, it is better that n com
paratively soft Imll should bo used. It
is more difficult to control n soft ball
than n hard one, but the fact that It is
soft gives the beginner moro confidence,
or possibly less fear thnt it will hurt
him. Two or more men can practice it,
endeavoring to put the ball to each other
ut n height and with force mitlicient to
emihle it to travel tho required distance.
Having acquired the knack of heading
the ball n short 'distance, nn effort
should be madu to increase the distance
until it can he done with nccurncy for
a distance of twelve or fifteen feet.
Heading practice should not, in the
early stages, continue for more than a
hnlf hour, us n headache is apt to re
sult if continued for n longer period.
In side heading the part of the side
of thc head to bo brought in contact is
on n line with the front part of the
head nnd not beyond n line extending
vertically from thc front of the ears.
Lateral heading is used more for the
purpose of deflecting the course of the
hall, while frontal heading is used not
only for deflection, but for propulsion
in u given direction.
If thc beginner will bear in mind how
his hand yields temporarily in receiving
u baseball he will get thc idea of how
his heud must vield when receiving the
impact of the leather ball.
One thing which must always be
borne in mind by the header is", that
when standing back of nn opponent to
head n ball intended for him ho is not
nllowcd to put his hands on the oppo
nent for the purpose of jumping up to
receive the ball. Another thing which
must bo borne in mind is thnt a man
jumping off the ground to head n bnll
cannot bo charged while his feet nre
clear of the ground, and that if nn ef
fort Is to be mnde to stop nn opponent
nutting hinlself In position to head the
ball the player is limited in his eftoits

It is just as bad to head high as it is
to huh high, particularly on a windy
day. It is usually of no benefit to the
-i.le, and not infrequently of leal bene
fit to the opponents. Heading high is
about I lie hitme thing as kicking witli
the toe three is no i-mitiol. Heading
is quite ns clenrly dellmd in the way
it should bo doi s kicking is.
To head the ball conectiy is n ory
simple and harmless thing. Thc ball
should be allowed to come in eontnet
with the ton of the forehead. The neck
is not held stifllv so that when the hall
does come ill contact the head giws
slightly and then goes through the
motion required to dellect or propel the
ball. In order to hnve the ball come
in contact with the head at the desired
spot it is necessnry to keep thc (yes

im,m,t- , .,

Conch Lnwson Robertson, of thc Uni
versity of Pennsylvania track team. x
"At thn meeting in New York this
coming Sunday it is expected thnt n rulo
to permit these two branches of field
events to be ndded to intercollegiate
competition will be introduced," said
Conch Itobertson this morning. "Tho
meeting, the nnntinl one of the Na
tional Collegiate Asoclation which cm-
braces nil members of the Intercollegintc
nssocintion, will probably tnkc up
other important mntters, but it is tho
new rule that concerns us thc most. In
1017 Penn asked thc advisory com
mittee to ellmlnntc the hammer throw
and to place in its stead the discus
und jnvelln throws. At that time the
resolution wns tabled.
"Every college association In the
Fnlted States including the Western
Conference und the Pacific Const Asso
ciation hns the two events listed in
their meets nnd wo arc anxious to con
form with them in everything. It is
used nil over the country, ns I have
said, and there is really no reason why
it shouldn't be used by the eastern col
leges, "The two events nre contested for in
the Olymnien and have been for many
years. Such un international event
should certainly not be left off the lists
of the intei-collcgintc association. While
the resolution may he tabled I hope thnt
the committee will give it favorable
consideration. I nm told that several
other colleges favor it and if this is
true, we shall in nil probability see
these two events nn thc program nt
Cambridge next May."
I'nless the weather gets much colder
Coach Joe Wright will take two crcwi
out for an hour's spin on the Schuyl
kill Snturdnv afternoon from the South
street slip. Tho coach made this definite
announcement Inst night. Both will he
composed of varsity candidates with
the first eight consisting ot thc follow
ing: Mitchell or Copeland, stroke;
Wnldner, Howell, Lleflcld, Wheeler,
Rosenberg. Williams nnd Guenther. Gil
lette is the coxswain.
Vie Frank, who played center and
guard on the football team, last year
will not report for crew this yenr, he
informed the conch. A desire to make up
back work iu order to graduate in June
is the reason given by Frank. Borle,
who was one of the best men in the
freshmen shell last year nlso announced
that he would not do any rowing this
season. Itoth men nro rcnl varsity tim
ber, and their loss will be severely felt.

LEONARD K. O'D ELEVEN
BA TTLERS FIRST YEAR
Benny Swung on Mickey Finnigan's Whiskers
- Maiden Bout at Age of Sixteen and Was
Champ at Twenty-one
in
By GRANTLAND RICE
1T7I1BN a champion steps forth to give
battle it is just ns well to put thc
Vital Statistic on him, in order to be
properly adjacent to all thc Wbys and
Wherefores of thc ensc.
On Friday night of this week to waste
no further worda, Benny Leonard will
meet Richie Mitchell for the lightweight
title, devastated France and $40,000,
the latter, of course, being an unim
portant detail. As all signs point to
quite an evening in social nnd punch
swapping circles, it is.tiot at all unlikely
that a closer consideration of Leonard's
status will be well in order.
The Vital Statistic
IT SEEMS thnt Mr. Leonard, being
bora April 7, 1800. and knocking out
his first cove, or bloke, early iu 10112,
wns something of a fistic nectarine
when he was only sixteen years old.
His first victim was Mickey Flnnlgan,
whom he lowered to thc resin within
three rounds.
That first year he knocked out no less
than eleven onoonents. showing a
punching prccoclousucss that was prac
tically pure stun.
A winning starter at sixteen and a
champion at twenty-one!
So while Leonard today Is still n
trifle short of twenty-five, ho is a ring
veteran of nearly nine years' experi
ence, with a list of battles back of him
that few fighters know out beyond
thirty. All of which burns up just so
much of thc Vital Flame, although in
Leonard's case tho flame is still blazing
brightly.
No Defeats
THROUGHOUT Leonard's nine-year
career we can find the record of no
defeats.
There nre lone lists of Leonard knock
out and no -decision fights, but nothing
else.
In the no-dcclsion whirl the record of
the passing years brings up the name
of Johnnv Dundee. We started in to
count the number of times nnd tho
number of rounds Leonard nnd Dundee
had wblled away many b Bmokc-fillcd
evening, but soon grew discouraged.
Thcv bounced together for tbo first
time back in 101C nnd have been at
it steadily ever since.
Leonard vs. Welsh
FREDDIE WELSH wns twenty-eight
years old before he ever won the
ly stopping WilHi
championship
Ritchie.
Ho was thirty -one vcars old. Juit
ten years older than Leonard. WV.n
Benny finally evicted him fromthe 1
crvntion. "
So Leonard today, after holding thu
title for four n, Is three years
younger than Welsh waa when Freddia
first reached tho top.
All of which is printed herein to
show what a tough bird Leonard is to
""SKii1. .aB' ,n nddlon to his speed
nnd skill the rare combination of routh
nnd experience. ' "
Tho youth, as a rule, locks expert,
ence nnd tho experienced boxer lacks
youth. Leonard has both a settled
champion at twenty-five, with nine
ycurs' experience back of him as a
foundation.
Leonard vs. Mitchell
LEONARD'S timo in coming, as it
comes to nil. but odds are that it
isn't due vet. Not unless 1021 has a
big surprise under cover as a starter
for one of the newest years we have left
Twenty-five is around the top crest
of n man's prime in tho profession of
punch.
Mitchell is no set-up. He has some
thing to trade when punches arc being
swapped in the open market, but he still
lacks tho ringcraft nnd the bewilder
ing skill of thc lightweight king.
Mitchell knows enough to mnke Leon
ard arise and travel, nnd the evening,
in its entire aspects, should be quite
festive.
If it is the first fight that Miss Anne
Morgan hns ever promoted, and nt the
rate of 500,000 a toss in purses it may
be her last for some weeks.
DOUGHBOYS of tho First nnd Sec
ond Divisions also drew 200,000 a
day in battling for devastated France.
But there were 00,000 of them in on
thc split, nnd it's a fairly long day
from reveille to taps. But thnt Is now
n matter of history, almost as ancient as
thc Second Funic War.
LEONARD has nlrcady piled up a
tidy fortune. He is out beyond all
want for the remainder of his career.
He has had intelligence enough to live
cleanly nnd conserve his kale. And he
won't bo any poorer when Friday's bat
tle comes to n conclusion.
