eat ih THE SPORTING DAILY BRITISH WHIG GENERAL Tad Jones, Yale Short End Run. | penying diagrom, leaves his position This is Yale's .moet vonsistent 'ground-gaining play. Where the backs are well versed in blocking, the ball ehould be carried dbto the secondary defense _ before the play ds stopped. «It is a simple formation but very effective. ; The opposing left tackle is block- od by the end and No. 4 Back. | No. 3 and 3 Backs teke care of the opposing left end. z Right guard No, 5 in the accom- in the lime to lead the interference. The other limesmen check thelr opponents and then go through to block the secondary defemse. \N The ball comes to No. 1 Back on a direct pass. He starts out laterally until about off tackle and then cuts in sharply, his path having been ef- fectly cleared by the interference. No. 5, right guard, should when ever possible block the defensive back fram the outside. This gives the groupd. Yale is particularly noted for its 'Warren Snyder difficult to get away. 4 especially finding it The winners were the better ig the backfield and along the lime, but Toronto almost matched their efforts in a determin- ed stand against the smoothly co- ordinated play of the Tricolor. The victory was earned on merit." [ What are the restrictions on side- line coaching? ; It is contrary to the rules for any one on the side lines, particularly the coach, to through talking, special signals or special positions to a team while on the field. The officials have it in their power to penalize any ong who PIGSKIN PRIMER give any instructions [~~ Still The Most. For The Money so offends. What are the end zomes on the gridiron? The end zones constitute the ter- ritory between the goal ling and an- other line 25 yards back of the goal line. What is regarded as tripping by the football officials? Tripping is regarded as any ob- struction of an opponent below the knee by that part of the leg below the knee, running interference and past mid- tield the short énd run becomes a great weapon. As Tad Jones defines & RUGBY. NOTES. sick of watching "Battling' Siki lose miserably to fourbh-rate boxers. Siki (in reality Lew Phal) has been get- ting big purses for what should be good fights, but the Sengalese has neither the ability or the fighting spirit to put up a good battle, and the shows are usually flascos. The negro is able to secure matches be- cause of his "win" over Carpentier | in Paris two years ago, which makes him a good box-office attraction. Yet why should this be so? Sincé his it, the short-end runs success de- pends on the ability of the inter- ference to block the opposition and the skill of the runmer to take ad- vantage of the opening. As Coach J furfher explains his favorite play "is. dependable when ever a short gain is very nec- essary. _ Fred Wilson and O. W. Mo- Queen Agree That Tricolor Won on Their Merits. It is in the M®nday morning To- ' ronto papers that one findsthe real Toronto opinion after a Queen's game, the writers having had a day to think it aver. Here are two views on the game hére Saturday: C. W. McQueen says in the Mail and Empire: "Queen's are still a great team and will be hard to dislodge from the pinnacle they have occupied for two years, but they are not as good as in either of the last two years, but this is mainly a matter of condition and as they have three weeks before they meet Varsity again this fault will probably be rectified. 'During' the game six players stood out for the champions, Leadley and Batstone on the half line, Baldwin at quarter, Reynolds and the ever green Jack McKelvey on the line and Bud Thomas as outside. To this sextette goes the chief honors for the vic tory. ,Batstone and Leadley are atl the greatest pair of backs in the Cala- dian game and their knowledge of one another's moves is better than ever.' They made many gains on run- ning back kicks and in skirting the losers' ends. They both kicked well, Leéadley especially. He placed his kicks to perfection and the Varsity backs had little chince of getting under way before the Queen's tack- ling brigade swung into action, "Baldwin, at quarter, is as good as Johnny Evans and with the benefit of the experience of a few games will be the best pivot man in Eastern Can- ada before the end of the season if he continues his showing of Satur- day, He handled his team well, mix- ing up the plays and also carrying the ball' well on bursts through the line. Reynolds and Red McKelvey bore the brunt of the offensive work on the line. When one of them was. called upon to smash at the line he found a good opening made by the other one and-charged through for gains. Both of them were strong in smashing up Toronto plunges. With McKelvey and Reynolds as a foun- dation and several of last year's re- gulars and subtitutes available, Coach Hughes has built up a stron, line, They are hard to break throug and also have interference pretty well perfected. They all tackle hard and sure. Thomas, was good on the outside and he kept Warren Snyder covered most of the afternoon and Snyder did not get going until he commenced to smash through the line in the final quarter. The re- mainder of the Queen's team fitted 'n with the more prominent players well and the only apparent weak- ness was a lack of condition." Fred Wilson, sports editor of the Jlobe, says: "In their first stand in defense of their national 'title Queen's brought 'to the game power, versatility and speed which® make for football strength in superlative degree. To- ronto was not easily beaten, but there was a sufficient margin of sd- periority over the Blue and White to "cramp the stylé" of the Newtor> .coached team. Variety of attack was a potent factor in Queen's vie- tory and speed was another. To- ronto backfield players found them- 'selves encircled by a fence of tackles, 4 In there were 60,000 .' Distance the dullest month of 1924, Long es than in th e senior box. "Baldy" > It's And we suppose some unkind fans ¢ | will now dub little d Senseless Quarterback" or "the Wan- dering Wonder" Star." Just the same, we hate to think what would have happened to Var- sity had he been just right. Pete Doland's team won out 9-0 on Saturday. We expect they receiv- ed a lot of emphatic since he took charge. Baldwin played half a intercollegiate game at the keystone position with his nervous system disconnected from his think- a good thing no person gave him the bell and started him running the wrong way. Freddy or the "the "Dreamy instructions fight with Carpentier, Siki has lost to Morelle in Paris, McTigue in Dub- lin, Homer Smith and others in Am- erica, while recently he quit cold to Mike Conroy in eight rounds at Lo- rain, Ohio. Hornsby Sots New Record. Rogers Hornsby, over .400 for 1924, again leads the National League and sets a new rec- ord of topping that organization for five successive-years, He is the most consistent batsman in the majors. Moore Helps Pirates, Moore, who was used in the out- fleld during the fag end of the sea- son because of his hitting, came to the Pittsburg club as an infielder, Earlier in the campaign he did great work in place of Traynor at third.

Thank heaven we do not have to look at them again this year. As a mascot King Boohoo .is one fine life-sized worry. He has now at- tended three games and has brokem Joose twice. Not such a bad record for line-plunging. C. W. McQueen says Queen's had the breaks on Saturday. 'Mack' has a funny sort of humor bump but he's not such a bad fellow when you get used to him, Fortunately Lou Marsh was not among those present in the press box or that 8-2 victory for Queen's would have looked like a 20-0 vie- tory for Varsity. - -- Thanks to the football clubs for having no game on Saturday next. That just allows the Hussars to play their final home game of baseball. TO-MORROW Tomorrow afternoon those fans who can get away for it will see a mighty good rugby battle at the | Gear Richardson Stadium when ~Queen's thirds meet R.M.C. seconds in the second junior intercollegiate 'game. The Tricolor won the first battle fifteen to five and are ten points to the good but the Red and white always make it more interest- ing in the second trial. 1 should be better football and a closer score than last game. > Nows of the Resin Sniffers By LA.W. & . They seldom come back. This tact was vivedly brought home to the minds of boxing fans not 'long ago when Willle Ritchie, former lightweight king, was beaten in four rounds by Joe Simonich, a Butte welterweight, at Oukland, Caltfornia.
