IT IS ii n ancient saying in the sports world thiit the best way te gain the

STONKY. MrUNN i.f Derais In seven games had passed for n total
of 7Mi ..r.N .iw-r.ice of better than 112 yards per game. .Tehnny Mehardt,
of Neti'e Dan.e in 1-121 established u record with 11D0 yards in eleven same,
nn average .f -lie" v under 10." yurds per game.
All tins w.is newn te Conch Tubby Spears and his Mountaineers from
West Virg.nl i And instead of wasting much valuable time planning a de
fense for the (.eii.ig.i passes, the Hastem com h prepared an aerial nttnek
which was- thor-eiKli and batltlng. Nnrdaeel proved te be equally as competent
mid vcr-itib- as ,h,. great Stockton, one mny gather from n detailed report nt
the game, lt.-terc the Oregon eleven could start an attack West irginin hnil
three touchdowns and the game.
'' ,-' nmuiug te rend in the stone about a football battle "ichat
might in it hrn" The newspaper inform us that ''had Bre
yam info tin yiniii larhcr" and had "en:aga launched its offensive
i m her" therr'nuaht have been a different story. The facts arc that
the Writcin mm fried te launch it aerial stuff earlier, judging from
the dctailnl account, and the Mountaineer tcere doing te well eith
their enrhead attack at the tunc that Jen:aga teas flabbergasted.
Stockton Passed Ball 118 Yards
BKOSS. nf ci.iir'. plnel sensational football when he took a place in the
tie'iui'ig.i bin kti-ld Hut that due net mean he would have duplicated hi
final period - i. n the earlier quarters liad he been in there. It is te be
remembered tlmt W, -t Vi-gliu.i's offensive efforts were growing weaker as the
"nine mlwiti. id. ninl ltress. n may be assumed, wns physically fresh and well
("uuipped te e.it.'h Siockten passes and sprint along for geed gains.
V careful annhsis of the detail play indicates that Stockton continued
his record-breaking passing. His chucks in the course of the Santa Claus Dn
contest netted nbeiit ll ynnK or about 0 yards better than his previous
amc average ls.it ins ueml performance was clouded by the fact that Cap
Tain Meredith, of Wet Virginia, intercepted a pass and ran Te yards for one
of the Mountaineers" toirhdewns.
The fact remains that West Virginia did beat Gonzaga at its own game
forward passing. Which shows that Dr. Spears in ft wise conch and lias
plnvers who are qualified te carry out his instructions. It further indicates
that the play in the Hast is superior te that of the Pacific Coast, se far as the
Cbri'tmas Day opponents go.

the strtngth or veralility of the oppeing elevens. But ice of the

Coaches Till Discuss Try-for-Point Rule
EASTERN" and mid-Western football coaches an in New Tork today.
' "iving the game the usual winter observation and suggesting treatments
which mav add te its bealth and prosperity. Ne doubt the try-for-point rule
will be discussed at length, as well as pre and eon. Alse, the proposed relega
tion of coaches te n sent in the stand will be churned ever and we opine next
season the tutors will be where they have been in recent seasens: that is. en
the sideline bench.
There is a marked division of opinion among coaches concerning the
:ry-for-peint rule. Almest always it is the coach who had a sure-fire drop
or" placement kicker or who wen a game by adding the one point while the
enemy failed who favors the retention of the rule. That is natural and en
cannot blame a man for favoring a piny that worked te his advantage.
Hut. te repeat a question that has ben se frequently asked in these col
umns, should victory or defnt hinge entirely en the kicking skill of one
player? That, it is proposed, should be the foundation of discussion by
eaelies And we cannot possibly see hew any man will say that when two
teams are se equally matched that each scores an earned touchdown, one
should win the gnme because nn individual booted the ball ever the crossbar.
I.et them suggest te the Rules Committee that seven points be awarded for a
touchdown; then two field goals will net tie. And the gridiron sport will be
considerably improved.
Concerning the position of coaches during the game we nevr have become
excited or perturbed. If a gridiron teacher wants te get a message te his
pupils out there en the field he'll de it if you lock him in the cellar of the
gymnamm. Columns could he written about the clever methods some
coaches have employed te prompt the field general when some surprise trateg
is desired. Rv wa' of illustration, one conch is aid te have certain plav
numbered. When fie wants re instruct his signal caller te us a play he
orders a substitute wearing the correct number en the back of his jersey r..
limber up Ins pdal(5 along the sideline A quick glance by the field general
does the trick.

system of xciewagging with igar or cigarette ceuUl be developed and
the team would always knew what its eeaelt wanted when he u anted
them te knew it.
Coach May Net
E
NTIKELY tee much emphnnis is placed upon the sideline reailmu' linn
if n conch sends a message te his
fellow that the piny will meet with sueces, a situation mny arise whre r
is n question whether te hit the line for a 1-yard gain and first down or ti
a field goal. The coach, by sending In a substitute who is Vnetvn te be a
drop-kick specialist, virtually commands his ieam te use that pla Rut mv e
i he coach lannet de the kicking and the roe of n human being is net aln,i
.iccurnte. frequently failure attend' 'be effer'
Recently one of the teppy players of rhe ipje season sani in his ei
perience he had found that nlreti n'ne tlnvs out of a hundred the quartet
back. If he was free from hard brmps and mentally alert, used better judg
inent in his selection of plays than did the coaches The player Is en the
lielil, has an opportunity te studv the opponents at elee range, and if he
cannot locate the weak sp. t in their defence then he Is net fitted te direrr
the plat.
College athletics go hand-in-hand with education I' migh be entiielv
possible te give a young man a mathematical tettboek. tell htm 'e r'ad it
carefully nnd then meet with his fellows In n clnsroem. san professor, and
discuss the problems. lie might become a mathematical genlu Rut it has
been found much mere profitable te have an instrui tot in the i Ijssroem m
order that he mav show the lads huw best te study and conquer the problems
that nre encountered.
AXR se it is'with football, in eiir opinion. Collegian are learning
f the gridiron namn and mutt hni e the instruction that a trained
conch who has had experrnci i qualified te give--he must show thrin
hew te conquer gridnen problems. If he can't fit them for their ha!
tic n that they will net reiuirr wigwags from the sidelines, it m
slam at th'ir leenness of mind and at the tutor's ability te imparl In

It is always difficult te pick the

the mere one has viewed them in action
en the links the harder is the tnsk.
Se we will make the choice when the
season is ever out of the records in
type and trust that nobedv will feel
bashful about penning comment thereon
te this desk.
In ranking the amateurs there seemed
te be no doubt about placing .1. Weed

the situation leeks about the same, fei
there nre few who can talk us out of

Speeding Up the Attack in Soccer
SOCCKIt is growing in popularity mere nnd mere each season, hat Awnltm
have net taken te the game its they hnve te tennis, for Instance. Beth th
gnmes were imported.
William S. Mnrquard, n professor nt Lafayette and a star at Ohie Stil
some fifteen yenrs age, recently offered criticism of the game, In which h
stated thnt the attack needed speeding up.
Professer Marqunril wns net speaking of the speed of the plnjers nor ej
the swiftness with which the bnll trnvels from one end of the Held te the ethtt,
lie intimated that the scoring chant-ex nre tee few.
"Kven when the ball is advanced te n point directly in front of the goal,'
he snid In effect, the clinnce te score is small. A goeii Kick will be blocks.
for the goal tender can judge the direction nnd is set for the bnll. It is only
the frenk kick that scores. The ball rolls off the feet, takes a peculiar ttvii
nnd evades the genl tender.
scrimmaging is snnppy and there is plenty et action.
PROFESSOIt MAKQUAKI). however, does net offer a remedy,
would be difficult te suggest a practical one.
