Uy DICK HAMEY (Hend Football Coach, Northwestern University.) EVANSTON, III. (AP) The best way to advance a football, it is uni versally agreed. Is to carry It througt the spaces which are least thickly populated by tha enemy. It Is the aim of all so-called "sys tems" to creste by speed, deception or power, or all three these open spaces In the enemy defense. The Warner syntera, which we em ploy at Northwestern, originated from the need of the offense to "put the pressure" on the strongest defensive man. the tackle. The original group ing of a football team on offense could mean only "power Inside-' be cause nobody was flanking the de fensive tackle. That made It comparatively sim ple for a pair of good tackles, aug mented by the ends, to keep all the enemy plays on the Inside. They could move straight In and check any attempts to run the ends since they weren't threatened by any out side pressure. Olenn S. "Pop" Warner invented his "wlngback" formation in 1000. This formation featured an unbal anced line and a single wlngback, which virtually made It an eight man line. It forced the defense to spread Itself and put a hoavy load on - the defensive tackle on the "strong side." When the defense, in smiting m meet this condition, left gaps that Invited offensive thrusts, close line plays could be used with virtually no loss of power. If the defense overshlfted, the Warner team couia strike back off the weak side by means of a simple reverse play. Then In 1018 Warner, coaching the Carlisle Indians, Introduced the dou ble wlngback a back a yard beyond and a yard behind each end. Origi nally Pop used a balanced line witn this, but not for long. The double wlngback, which we believe Is the most effective forma tion In the Warner eystem, provides virtually a nine-man line and causes still greater spreading of the defense than the single wingDac. The baalo plays are reverses, witn the wlngbacks frequently coming back and around to become ball carriers, pass-receivers, passers or blockers. We give out signals In a huddle and are In no hurry to start our playn. We prefer to have the enemy see which side Is "strong," so that they will set themselves. We can tell from the .way they get set what thev are anticipating, and pick our; subsequent plays more enecuvciy. The "open" style oi oacaneio ar ray, with the two players to whom the ball may first be snapped sta tioned we!! back of the line, lends Itself to the attack we plan to use thla season better then the close-in style because of the personnel of our principal backs. Pug Rentner and Reb Russell, wno weren't available at the same time all last nonson, will necessarily be used together this year. Rentnor, a threat to kick, pose, run or serve as feeder to a reverse play, will be the man six yards straight back from center, while Russell, closer In, will be an ever-present plunging threat. The success of all this theory.' of course, deponds on the power we will be able to get In the line, which am afraid will be much less than tha expert are crediting us with. flf" pl if yi m l-J. i cocuiA.

(AP) He's Just an old syndicate writer, this Burleigh Grimes, but if you stick around long enough and talk baseball, he'll unburden himself, sure as the world. Lost night this latest world series hero, clean shaven and Immensely pleased with the world In general moved from chair to chair In the lobby of the Cardinals' hotel and ac cepted congratulations from hundreds of milling fans and baseball men. They thought right well of that two-hit' game the veteran had pitch ed against the Athletics, and so, for that matter, did Qrlmcs. Telegrams were pouring in from every part of the country. They started coming in a few minutes after the last out had been made and they still were coming at Inter vals at a late hour. Grimes read each one with meticulous care and churkled. "I'll tell you, boys,' he said, when cornered by a bevy of correspond ents, "I can't talk for publication. I'm'glvlng ray reactions to a syndi cate, and it wouldn't be right. I've gotta piny fair with my syndicate." One may appreciate Mr. Grimes dilemma. It was a very delicate situation; a situation calling for tact. "But, Mr. Grimes It surely would be all right for you to tell us how you felt about losing a no-hlt game when It was right in your grasp. After all, . a no-hlt game would have been mighty fine, especially In a world series. What was It Blrig Miller hit there In the eighth In ning?" The veteran, still clean shaven, pondered a moment. "Well, It was a fast ball, right smack down the middle. All he had to do wag to stick out his bat and hit it. I could have hit it. myself." "Why did you give him a fat one like that, when it looked like you were going to come up with a no hitter?" "It was like this," Grimes ex plained. "I dodn't care so much about that part of It as I did about winning that ball game.

But he pumped cleanly Into center field." BATTLE FOR C CHICAGO, Oct. 6.

The juniora figure this will be one of their toughest games. Fans In Post Mortem. Post-mortems on the Marshfield game occupied attention of tho fans Sunday and yesterday, and the con census was that tho local crew out played the Coos Bay aggregation in straight football, but were unable to sustain an offensive, and the quar terbacks failed to use a variety of plays. They tried an off-tackle buok with Indifferent success all afternoon. and th Marshfield linesmen smashed It, time and time again. All the de ception that has been drilled Into the squad was also forgotten. The Marshfield squad proved a tough and experienced outfit of hard tackiers, and their backs knifed through the line with the ball. Med ford, In the closing minutes of the game, began to use a long end run with plenty of Interference, and made enough yardage to put over another touchdown. Aliased Hughes. The Injury to Odd Hughes alxo kept the locals under cover, as the boy Is a fast thinker and a great hand to cool down his teammates when they get excited. Medford also fumbled the ball twice, when they were on the road to touchdowns, and Harrington had two punts blocked, owing to slow kicking. The team played good football and the defeat will do them more good than harm. All over-confidence was knocked out of them by the results.
