Young Catholic Players. Pu
j Up Great Game Against
Weakened Clubmen! V ;
After putting up a gamt .fight against
the heavier Multnomah .team, the loot
Mil team from the , Catholio Young
Mea' club finally gar la and Multno
mah, through fine work on ma part of
Stott and Walker, scored a touchdown
la the last two minute of play. .,' Prs
vloue to this time" the tads' from acro
the river held their own-In. every way
and had kept the ball around the -center
or tne neia most-or tne time,' - -
; Walker, Pilkington and Stott ware the
only Muitnooiau piayera wno played -up
to their uaual form, -and .it u the
sterling work of these three players
that finally wdn the gam for Multno
mah. Jack Eaten, though somewhat
rough near the close of tne same, was
xne atar player oi i the - cathslia -tea
and more than once saved the game by
good defensive work. This' player came
tviihln an ace of getting away for a
touchdown, too, when fa the first half
be picked up a blocked punt and ran to
yards before Dow Walker finally over-
ftauiea mm ana Drought mm aown.r
1 Katch and Hall - were -both good
ground gainers for the Catholio club.
and good generalship on tha part of
i rowier in sending tnm tnrougn the
left side of the line gained many yards
for the ' youngsters. Hlaker - was not
used to playing in the" line and both he
and McCluie, who played next-to him,
proved vulnerable to the Catholio at
tack. Crowley, while, be was a trifle
erratio in his punting,, was able through
some long spirals to keep the Catholic
line reasonably safe from being scored
upon. Stott tried throe place kicks
rarly In tha first half, but none of -them
was successful.
1 The Catholio lads played fine ball and
Coach Kennedy Is to be congratulated
on the Bhowing they made, -jreeua play
was the feature of their work from the
lime ma game opened till the last.
Zander and Patty were very fast In get
ting ddwn on punts, and their effective
work in stopping Stott, who has usually
vbvu a terror lo opposing teams la run

Throughout the first half Multnomah
had the ball usually Inside of the 60
yard line, but was never able to get It
vast the 80 yard line. Pilkington and
AValker ware usually good for from two
to six vards, but while yardage was
made at times, still it was not with
enough frequency to bring about . a
score. Three times Stott tried for a
place kick.' but each of - them carried
wide and the chance was gone. Crow
ley would then put out to the center of
the field and the slow marcn toward the
goal would again commence.
Near the end of the second half Mult
nomah managed to work tha ball well
down Into the Catholics', territory, but
Katch dumped up a play around his end
and the ball went to the Catholica on
their own 18 yard line. Crowley
dropped back for a kick and sent the
pigskin high In the air, but only to
the 36 yard line. Stott caught the
sphere and. aided by splendid interfer
ence on the part of Krtuason and Pilk
ington. carried the bail to the 15 yard
line. Walker was then called upon and
circling right end made the only touch
down of the. game.
- Knudsoa failed to kick the goal and
the score stood f t 0. There were
but two minutes left to play, and but
three or four plays cams after that be

Now that tha moleskins and cleated
hoes are lat on tha shelf, football men
will be wise if they take aip the splen
did sport of basketball during the win
ter season, .Since - the new game of
football has been ' developed With Its
forward pass and onslda kick, basket
ball has become a valuable factor In de
veloping ' alertness' and skill that is
worth much to the gridiron warrior. A
man who has handled an-inflated ball.
even though it ba different shape,
through the winter season, finds it
much easier to make and receive a for-;
ward pass and recover onslde kicks.

Elmer Thomoson. the All American
football- guard playing for Corjvell, has
been for years one of the best basket
ball centers In the game. Schildmlller,
playfna- with Dartmouth this vear and
selected for end on the All American,
doubtless owes much of his success to
the fact that he has been a devoted bas
ketball player for years. j
i Marcus Hurley, who was a power be- j

playing football - was selected for four
successive veara an a member nf tho

Page and Schommer, Chicago's clever
ends, had the distinction of being chosen
for the All Western in both basketball
and football These are only a few of
the many that the writer could name
who have plaved better football because
of their basketball ability and whose
devotion to the court gams has added
wonderfully to their skill on the grid
Iron. - ' ' .,,-, ;.. .v, .
Basketball makes 'a man alert, quick
juogmenv ciever -in- nanaung an in
flated ball, accurate in passing and
catching and these are factors that are
all essential to success in the modern
aeveiopment or intercolleerlate football.
Football men would be wise If they be
gan preparing now for next year's
games. Ther will keen in mod nhvalcul
condition and find easy when the grid

Wrestling Also flood for ToothaU Itsn.
Another snort that la wonrteVfnll v
vftiuaoie as an auxiliary in tne aeveiop
ment of football players is the wrest
ling game. There la no single exercise
that Is so completely valuable In build"
Ing up unused muscles, making stronger
the muscles that are. ordlnsrilv In uu
and developing all round bodily strength
and physical skill.. In wrestling a man
uses every muscle In his body. The
legs, arms and back muscles are
strengthened and a man's endurance Is
increased. His Inn- canacitv
larged. - His joints and bones become
accustomed to strains thst the unpre
pared man would find difficult In with
standing. This deve'opment is valuable
for the man who aspires to success on
the gridiron.- He learns the use of his
hands, and the skilled tricks of a wrest
ler become Immensely valuable to the
ployer who looks for success.
Football men are advised to take up
these two sports, basketball and wrest
ling. First, to familiarise himself with
the handling of an Inflated ball and de
veloping accuracy In passing and re
ceiving. And second, to give him the
muscular strength and endurance to
withstand the long strenuous siege of
football season. . - ...

have opened up the play In football
have resulted so beneficially that there
are all Sorts of suggestions being mad
for further changes which will make
the game still more open, and more
nearly approach the English Rugbv
gaaie One of the suggestions which
Is bound to lead to talk if not to action
Is made In a communication to the Har
vard Bulletin. The writer claims that
"wn nmt w Mnuiciai ana un

and a remedy similar to-the one he
proposes is inserted In tha nlavlnir

"the extreme nanaltv fop-fumhtln- n..t
'be cut out. There is. no penalty ao se-
me loss or mo Dan ana a Tumble
nan i no iime means tne loss or the ball.
The penalty or rule should be that en a
fumble the ball is 'down' or 'dead' where
fumbled, and that another scrimmage
takes place at tha. point. The same team
should retain possession of the ball un
lesa It was lost on downs or for some
Other reason. ,
. "The possibilities, probabilities and
necessary, results from this change are
Immense. Instead of the present dull
game with flashes of skill and genius,
every p'ay should abound In passes and
good rushing. On the offense the rush
ers would not be afraid - to execute
passes,' long; and short, and the . rule
would be. to attempt a pass before being
tackled. On the other hud. tha itan
would have to be alert to stop the ball
as well as the rusher. There Is and csn
