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.

( Associated PriM .Sibetks Writer)
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. fl. (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. We needed

October 10 at Chicago. In addi
tion to being one of the outstand
ing games of the year, the con
test bss an especial significance
In thst It will provide a test of
the comparative - merits of the
Warner and Rorkne system.
This Is the first of a series of
football articles, written by'lcad
Ing coaches themselves. For the

of Northwestern makes clear what
the Warner system Is and tells
how his team wtll use tt against
the "Ramblers" and other foes.
It. There already was a man on
base and nobody out. I didn't want
to take a chance on walking him.
Bo, instead of feeding him a curve
and trying to cut an outside cor
ner, Z put It straight down the
middle, figuring maybe he would hit
to one of my fielders. But he
pumped cleanly Into center field."
BATTLE FOR C
CHICAGO, Oct. 6. (AP) The sum
of $7,431.61 the difference between
the winners' and losers' pools In the
Chicago baseball championship series

White Sox In the final game today.
Captain Charlie Grimm of the
Cubs, shoved the National leaguers
back Into the race for the title yes
terday and. just in time. In the ninth,
with the Sox leading 2 to 1, and two
men on, Grimm rammed out a dou

Juniors Will Battle Glendale
High On Medford Ground
Fans See Faults of
Locals in Marshfield Tilt
Medford high school's football team
plays Eureka high at Eureka, Cal
next Saturday, and If tha Burgher-It-
win they will have their work
out out for them and know they have
been In a contest. The boys will

clash between tho two schools last
year they battled to & 7-7 tie.
The Junior high school, big and
fast, will provide the gridiron dish
at home, meeting the Glendale high
school. They also are assured of hot
opposition. 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.
