NOTED CARLISLE INDIAN TEAM IN ACTION, SHOWING SUPERB INTERFERENCE THAT MADE IT A WINNER THIS XEAR
This illustration shows one reason why Coach Glen S. Warner's Carlisle Indians made a sensational record this season on the gridiron. Note the strikingly effective Interference. No less than four men are In front of the man
carrying the ball to break a hole through the line and ward off tacklers. That is a fine example of team work and shows that Warner Is an excellent coach.
The photo was snapped at the recent Carlisle-Dartmouth contest in New York city when the dusky aborigines walloped the husky lads from Hanover, N. H., to the tune of 37 to 10, after Dartmouth had defeated Princeton.-

AT the risk of laying ourselves
""'' Pen t0 a profound broadside
ILuB from the experts we will make
:. the assertion that the dear
old pastime of football la roughly di
vided Into two branches of learning
fundamentals and team play. Funda
mentals have to do with Individual
skill in playing as an Individual in a
pertain position.
. The football season Is short, and no
team can conscientiously cover both
fields In a few weeks. Individual skill
mukjes for a sturdy defense. Team
play makes for a brilliant attack, gen
erally at the expense of perfect ie
tense. ' ." v
The coaches of most of the elevens
west of the Allegheny watershed and
Df a few on this side have abandoned
detailed coaching In fundamentals In
favor of developing the possibilities of
a bewildering attack, depending main
ly on a man's football training at his
pyp school to ground htm in the first
principles of his position on the) team,
this has been the rule for several
roars and the result is that In a gen
eral Intersectional series ft is likely
that the west would give a good ac
count of Itself.

INTERNATIONAL GOLF.
The plan for an international golfing
competition along the general lines of
the Davis cup lawn tennis play is en
thusiastically indorsed by Francis Oul-
mrtths Amertean opi Thaw plot
The idea originated In England,
where ono prominent club has offered,
J soldi t contribute a trophy,
There Is no question but football can
be mads a wonderfully thrilling and
Interesting gams under the new rules,
but It Is doubtful If Harvard and Tale
Ind Princeton will ever, come to it un
less they are forced. This is due to
timidity. Developing an attack under
the new rules means, as we have men
tioned, something of neglect of tb de
fense and the constant taking of
chances. And the coaches of tho big
elevens are afraid.
The three big grimes constitute the
whole season for these universities. A
defeat for Tale, for Instance at the
hands of Harvard or Princeton kills
any chance of the championship. And
the coaches devote nearly all of their
time to building an Impregnable wall
In front of the goal posts. For scoring
purposes they try to develop a drop
kicker so ihat they need not work the
ball farther down than the thirty-five
yard line. Even the achievement of
this no great enterprise is the excep
tion. Punting Duels Result.
Consequently we are let in for dull
and endless punting duels, with the
coaches praying that some one of the
othfcr side will fumble a punt near his
Tener and the
MUCH interest centers in tho an
nouncement that John K. Tener,
governor of Pennsylvania, has accepted
the presidency of the National Base
ball league, which was tendered to him
In Harrlsburg recently by four of the!
eight magnates of the organization.
Tho governor will hold office for four
years among the baseball men, during
which time it is understood ho will
draw a yearly stipend of 115,000. He
Is to have absolute charge of tho af
fairs of the league, and, being a base
ball man of practical experience years
ago,. he should find yttle to puzzle him
in the maze of baseball politics.
The governor, however, in accepting
the presidency of the league, made it
be understood that ho would not re
sign as executive of the state and that
ha would not give bis undivided time
to the league until his term as gov
ernor expired. During his time as gov
ernor ho will not draw any salary from
the National league, although he will
be fully entitled to such, but this was
one of the conditions which he Insisted
upon.
The 8slary Question. .
When asked what salary ho was to
draw down as the president of the
league the governor said: "I do not be
lieve that the public is interested in
that, and, besides, It is a private mat
ter between the league and myself
The governor also Wished to impress
upon the public tho fact that he to not
to draw a cent tn- salary from the
league until he becomes actively en
gaged in his official baseball duties.
During his time tn office as governor of
the state, John A. Heydler, secretary
of the National league, will attend to
the principal duties pertaining to the
president, such as supervising the um
pires and looking after the routine af
fairs at league headquarters. This
will give Mr. Heydler one year as
"boss" of the league, for Mr. Tener
will not step out of public office In
Pennsylvania until Jan. i, 191 S.
The magnates W. F. Baker, presi
dent of the Philadelphia club; Harry
Ackerland, representing Charles W.
Murphy of Chicago; Charles H. Ebbets
of Brooklyn, and Harry Hempstead of
New Tork visited Harrlsburg, and
after a luncheon at the executive man
sion the conference began.. Tho four
magnates tendered the presidency to
Governor Tener, and then followed a
prolonged conference regarding the
term of office and salary.
Dreyfuss Approves Also.
Barney Drey fusg-wtredHUrmpprovat
from Pittsburgh and stated that he was
III and could not bo present. J. 'El
Gaffnsy of Boston wrote a letter agree
own goal and give their drop kickers
a chance to make three points.
'. Touchdowns have gone out of fash
Ion. With the ball at first down on
Princeton's five yard line Tale did
not have a single crisscross or for
ward pass trick In her repertory that
could take the ball over that last nar
row strip of sod. The Indians, Dart
mouth, Notre Dame or Michigan would
have scored to a moral certainty at
that point But Tale could not.
The falling off In attendance at the
Tale-Princeton game Is an awaken
ing sign. These big teams are in the
foreground of public attention only un
der the momentum of tradition. Every
man who understands the rudiments
of the dear old pastime knows that
they are playing obsolete and uninter
esting football, and they have proved
In a number of games that even their
laboriously constructed defenses cannot
stand against the slashing tactics of
the younger colleges.
New President of the A. A. U.
- Alfred J. Llll, the newly elected presi
dent of the Amateur Athletlo union,
will take office with the sole ambition
of continuing the fine work of his
predecessors, but with very decided
National League
ing to support Governor Tener and
said that business kept him away.
Garry Herrmann also wrote a letter
giving his consent, and President Ba
ker held tho proxy of S. B, Brltton of
St Louis.
For the second time in four years the
Philadelphia club was In tho posi
tion of making or unmaking a league
executive. In 1901 the vote of the club
was pledged to Barney Dreyfuss of
Pittsburgh for John A. Heydler. The
sals of the Phillies, however, to
Charles P. Toft lost Heydler the vote
and turned it over to the opposition.
In consequence of tho loss of the Phil
lies' vote there was a deadlock, and
John T. Brush sprang ono of tho big
gest surprises in the history of base
ball by suggesting Thomas J. Lynch,
the former king of umpires, who then
was elected to tho presidency.
Will Leave the Prize
Ring to Study Law
T WILL never engage la a public
. fight for money after the first of
next February," say Packey McFar
land. "I may give a boxing exhibition
now and then, but I shall not train. 1
intend to take a course In a Chicago
business college next March and then
will study law.
"I Intended to quit the ring after I
defeated Jack Brltton here last May
and I rested all summer without put
ting on a glove. But In order to please
Billy Gibson, my friend, I finally agreed
to box Murphy, Ritchie and perhaps
Freddie Welsh tn Madison Square Gar
den. "I named 1ST pounds at ( o'clock for
Murphy because I was so heavy when
I began real training work that I
didn't believe I could reduce to a light
er limit and retain my strength. I
always have been afraid of fatal results
from taking off too much weight ever
since the reducing process killed Joe
Gans. For that reason I will say right
hero that 1 never wlll make less than
1J5 pounds at t o'clock again.
"If Ritchie wants to box me at that
limit ,1 will take htm on. Tho same
goes tor Wfelsh, who dictated to mo in
England several years ego. Although
the lightweight limit over there is 135
at 2 o'clock, Welsh made me do 131 at
that hour. Now I intend to give him a
doss of his own medicine. If be. wants
to meet me. , '
"I have made enough money out of
the boxing game to be independent the
rest of my life. I don't have to box
unless I want tcVir Ritchie and Welsh
are after big money, they must get mo
or go without It and I am going to have
a lot to say about naming condition,"
views about rules that should govern
mixed meets of amateurs and profes
sionals. Mr. LIU is a resident of Bos
ton, He gave his views on athletlo
subjects as follows the day he was
elected president:
1 have been grossly misquoted
about the suspension of entranoe and
registration fees," began Mr. LIU. It
is foolish to say that I advocate this.
Without registration fees the Amateur
Athletlo , union couldn't exist It is
practically the only revenue it has,
What I have said and what I will try
to have carried into effect when presi
dent is that if any dtstriot in which an
A. A. V. meet is held is rich enough, If
there is sufficient money tn the treas
ury to warrant It, - it might suspend
registration dues for that one meet, but
I never declared that the union should
withdraw its fees for all competitions.
It isn't feasible. Withdrawing en
trance fees in various meets would un
doubtedly encourage athletes to com
pete. I had that in mind when X sug
gested the idea to a Boston newspaper
man." -

He says that ho offered Ounboat Smith
a 110.000 guarantee to box Bombardier
Wells In London and Georges Corpen
tier In Paris, but that Smith's manager
demanded a better inducement, declar
ing that a 120,000 offer might induce
Smith to cross the Atlantic, Galvln
states that he responded with an offer
of 20 per cent if Smith lost and 25 per
Sent It ho won the bout with Wells,
while he agreed to hand over a SO per
cent loser's end and a 55 per cent win
ner's share for the scrap with Carpen
tler. But again Smith's manager re
fused. Galvln has some Interesting
things to say about Jack Johnson.
"Johnson ha been signed by Theo-
rdore Vlenne, the Paris promoter, to
meet anybody that Vlenne names," says
Galvln, "but Johnson will not receive a
130,000 guarantee. The big negro Is
down and out Several times he ha
been arrested In Paris for not paying
his way, and only for the fact that
what little property he has left is In
the name of his wife or that of Levy,
his secretary, he would be left pennl
less. Johnson's agreement with Vlenne
calls for 25 per cent If he wins and 20
per cent In the event of defeat
"Johnson was In Vienna showing In

merely a curiosity and doesn't draw
anything to speak of. He Is extremely
unpopular, and It would not be surpris
ing If the French government shipped
him out of the country as an 'undesir

French people cannot understand why
he, was allowed to get out of the United
States. :,
"That Johnson is not a drawing card

two weeks, at the end of which the
management closed him out The first

club said a question of terms only ro
malned to bo settled.
Brown is said to bays been prom
