"Red" Clark's Brilliant Playing Features Work of Kentuckians. KNOXVILLE, Xov. 2. (Special.) The University of Tennessee football team defeated the Central of Kentucky eleven this afternoon by the score of 67 to 0. Although outweighed nearly fifteen pounds to the man, the visitors struggled gamely against their heavy opponents, and with two or three more players like Capt.

"lied" Clark the result would have been entirely different. Three long end runs that were good for nearly seven ty-flvc yards were made by the diminutive leader of. the who also played a strong defensive play, bowling over the heavy back field players of Tennessee and rushing down on punts to nail the nun catching the ball In his tracks. Gardiner, at left end, also played a good gamo for Central. Tennessee marched steadily down the field for a touchdown after the kick oft was received and the marches to the goal continued with disconcerting regularity.

Two touchdowns were made in the first period, the same number in tiie second, while four were put over in the third and to in the fourth. Not once did the visitors hold Tennessee for downs, and thev made first down but five times, Clark making the required gains on three occa-slcns. The forward pass was several times by O'Brien's men, but not one of the forward (lings was completed, while Tennessee depended almost wholly upon line bucks and end runs for gJins. Capt.

THE DEPARTURE OF ROCK Sand foil Europe yesterday can but cause pangs of regret to all lovers of the turf. Rock Sand, winner of the Derby, St. Leger and Two Thousand Guineas, was the idol of all. His loss is a great blow to American breeding.

This loss is deploroi the country over, for even in those sections from which racing has been driven by legislation the people love the thoroughbred. It is not a this love that has caused the abo lition of racing in many States, but the existence of evils that have overshadowed the good. it i.imi5 Ktranze that looking back over the downfall of racing In various communities one finds that tne ire of the public was aroused oy anuses at wie backs and they should be of different types. A heavy pair of ground gainers should be sent at the start of the game in order to wear out the opponents, and then a light, shifty pair should be sent into the fray to run the ends. If this cannot be accomplished then a fast, clever dodging back should be paired with a plunger.

FEAR FOR SAFETY OF AMERICAN BALL00NISTS No News From Watts and Atherholt In Duesseldorf Causes Anadety. Be rl i Nov. 2. A t'eel i of pro -found anxiety reigns in aeronautical circles us to the fate of John Watts and Arthur T. Atherholt, Americans, who have been missing, with the balloon Duesseldorf since they started from Stuttgart, on Sunday.

October 27, in the international race for the Gordon Bennett balloon cup. It la felt that news should surely have been received unless balloon descended In a remote part of the wilds of Lapland. It is not known whether Watts was supplied with adequate maps, and it is argued that he and his companion were placed in a regrettable position if they were not better equipped than was another American aeronaut, John Berry, who started In the race with maps not even showing: the position of the Baltic Sea. This Is criticised here as a display of utter recklessness. The managers of the international balloon cup race still express the hope that the two American aeronauts have landed somewhere in Russia.

They say the aeronauts may have been made prisoners, and are unable to communicate. The Weather Bureau declares it was impossible for the Duesseldorf with the winds, to nave been driven to Norway. The statiuns in Norway, Denmark and Sweden report that no balloon has been sighted there. Cablegram Erom Honeywell Kansas City, Nov. 2.

CA1TAIN FIRST TEAM; REQUIREMENTS OF HALFBACKS Pair of Fast, Driving Men Essential For Positions Under the New Rules.

ABILITY TO PICK HOLES TECHNICALLY speaking, the term "backs" refers to the two halfbacks, fullback and quarterback, but this article will deal only with the duties of the left and right half backs, writes Walter Eckersall in the Chi cago Tribune. Under this year's rules a pair of 'tst, driving halfbacks is more essential to the success of a team than since the new rules were put Into effect. So far this season the work of plugging halfbacks has been shown, and the coaches now are looking for backs of the type which fea tured the old niass play. Ability to pick holes, either Inside or outside of the tackles, the faculty of fol lowing up an Interference and leaving It at the proper time, and then cutting back across the field, the knack of starting quickly and gaining top speed at the earliest possible moment, and the art of learning how to dodge are the qualifications which make a great offensive halfback. Naturally the little essentials of faking or feinting and the ability to fight for every inch, even when tackled, always should be borne in mind.

Defensive Work Increased. Since the single line of defense has been thrown into the discard and, the double line adopted the work of the half- baks1 on the defensive has been increased. The ends now do the smashing, whereas the halfbacks did It under the old code. The halfbacks should play from uve to eight yariia nacK oi tneir defense. They should play an equal distance to tne outside oi tne tacitie so mat tiiey can have a good view of the situation.

When plays are sent out on their side of the line the main duty of the halfbacks is to tackle the man with the ball and allow the ends to smash the Interference. The backs should never be too eager to get into a play until they are absolutely certain there is not going to be anything of the deceptive variety. This often ha? occurred, with the result that the runner has circled out around the ends, which should never happen, even to a grammar school eleven. If for any reason the halfbacks are not sure they can tackle the runner they should go Into the play in a manner as to drive the man with the ball to the Inside, so that the defensive quarter the defensive back on the other side can cut across and do the tackling. In driving the player to the Inside the linemen also will have an opportunity of stopping the runner, whereas If he gets looso on the outside and is a fast runner It Is up to the defensive fullback to check tho runner and save a touchaown.

Move With Shift. As most of the teams under the present code ar" shift plays for most of their gaiiis, it Is the case nine times out of ten that the play will be sent tothe strong side. If the offensive eleven shifts a right tackle to the left side of the line then th defensive right halfback should move up on tho line of scrimmage, the defensive quarter should move toward the shifted side at least two positions, while the defensive left halfback should assume the original position of the defensive quarter. In accordance with this shift the defensive line should, shift a position- Tho defensive end on the side from which the offensive tackle was shifted must protect his end, as the play may be sont in that direction and he' always should follow around behind the offensive team. As a result of all these defensive duties, the halfbacks must be brainy players.

They must be able to size up quickly In what direction the attacks are. going to and above all they must always scan tho outside of the field to be certain that the "moss covered" shoestring trick will not be pulled. Watch Forward Passes. While in a position from five to eight yards back of the scrimmage line, the defensive backs must be on tiie alert for forward passes. They should know that -whenever an offensive: player is try-inr to get out In the open that he is doing so for a purpose and ho should be covered closely.

In attempting to Intercept forward passes, the defensive players always should bear in mind the point that the man who Is to catch the oval has the right of way and cannot be bumDed or jostled by one of the defensive Dlayers until he has either caught or touched the oval, as tho ball still Is In possession of the passing side until it has been touched by a player of either team. In this connection it Is necessary to state that the defensive fullback should not play too far back. Twenty to twenty-fivo yards is far, enough, and if he does this he will be of Invaluable assistance in helping the hilfbaeks Intercept forward passes. Conceal Direction. As there are so many formations from which the halfbacks carry the no definite instruction can be given on the many plays.

There are a few cardinal points which the backs on offense should always remember. They never should. Doint either by looking in the direction oi the play or adjusting themselves eo that they can secure a better and quicker start, Always assume one position and never look In the direction of the play Always remember to help your teammates to their feet so that the-next play can be snapped off quickly. Xever take out time unless seriously injured. Under the present rulings It is advisable to have, If possible, two sets of Men's Suits Golfers the carrying of the club back and bringing it down.

My own clubs are perhaps slightly shorter than the average, but Uils may be accounted for by the fact that 1 stand more over the balls than the average player. "It must be obvious to ajiy one who has studied distance. in golf that when one is compelled, owing to the length of the club, to stand a long way from --the ball, accuracy of stroke Is made much, more difficult, and the body is inclined to lean forward at the same moment that the reach, is made to strike the baU. It Is curious in this respect that short men prefer long clubs, because ttiey think they can make up for their deficiency in height' getting a longer swing at the balL This, in fact, is. not so.

It is a mlstaka think that lonirth of drlv in di to Ic-ngth of club- or strength of player. Tbtf seldom see a very strong man who Is a long driver, because he is so strong he thinks he can take liberties with the ekib, but he soon finds oubnis mistake; where-aj the weaker man must be much more careful and accurate and husband hla strength, own opinion Is that long clubs need much greater accuracy of play, and, if only for this reason, should bo avoided." Another well-known professional has this to say on the same question: "The whole case oan be summed up in this: If a player Is strong la the wrists can play with a short clt-j, but if ho not. then he will find that It will pay h'm better to use a long club. Physical force enters more into the game than people think. The Idea that the easy swing gets the ball a long way has been exploded.

The swing is effective up to certain point, but to get beyond that requires strength. The reason that some men get such tremendous distances is not because their swing is better, but because their club is traveling faster when it meets tiie ball than the club of tho man less power. "It will be noticed that I have not used the word Professionals do not hit, but they swing fast. A fast swing starts from one shoulder and finishes up on the other. A hit starts from the right shoulder and finishes at the ball.

In a swing the body and shoulders have no say at all, but in a hit it is all body and shoulder work. A perfect swing Is smooth from start to finish. At, no time Is there suspicion of roughness. A hit Is a Jerk, pure and simple, likened to nothing better than the stroke In cutting down trees. "One would think there would be more chance of hitting with a short club than with a long one, but it Is not so.

A short club, wielded by strong wrists, Is -hipped through too quickly to allow the body to interfere." After all, it Is largely a question of individual taste and needs. No one can learn to play the gamo by reading books on golf, and perhaps if the average player will leave the selection not only the driver, but of every other ctun in his hag, to his professional, ha will not far wrong. Later on It will be easy enough to select clubs, and after a man has played several years he ought to know what suits his Individual needs. Sometimes the professional may make a mistake, but, generally speaking, he Is more competent to select the proper' club for the beginner than the novice and many his friends. Ben Sayers, one of the oldest and smallest of the big British professionals, uses a short driver almost as tall as himself, yet he does wonderful work with and it is always under his command.

Tom Ball, the one time British amateur champion, who is also of smair stature, prefers a short driver, and can drive a tremendous distance with It. So, after all, It Is only a question of individual which every one has to work out for himself through his club CLARK GRIFFITH FELLS ANGRY BEAST WITH ROCK Helena, Xov. 2.

HAS NO TRAINING SYSTEM ZJW XUKli, KOT. 1- WflJJt CO I seriously. At least, it was JL by working out this theory that Peerless Mel Shepard, the former Phila-delphian, one of the brightest stars of the athletlo constellation, became ono of tho- greatest athletes of his time and stayed on Che top rung of the ladder long enough to enjoy many smiles at tho expense of youngsters who sougat to knock him off his exalted perch.

Mel Sheppaxd's defeat of tho great Olympic hero, Ted Meredith, at the Irish-American Athletic Club games recently, revived the question of how the veteran retains his supremacy. Year after year youngsters spring into prominence and are hailed as the successor of the "Peerless Mel," and year after year Sheppard that he Is still a master. What is the answer? It was thought that Mel hirnseir would prove the best authority, so the great Irish-American runner was sought out in the midst of his duties the Custom House. Ho laughed at tne question at first, but a little, latex ha became serious and consented to explain his philosophy of athletics. Youngsters "Worry Too Mucli.

think," said Mel, "that the most important feature of success In athletics Is not taking the game too seriously. I have seen youngsters by the hundred who had all kinds of ability fall by the wayside simply because they became too excited over the game. I have made it a practice to never worry over athletics, and that, I believe, is one big reason for my success. When I find I am going back I shall quit." $heppard was asked to give an outline of his training rcslmen. It didn't take him long to reply.

He has no training system. Ho runs when ho feels liko It, eats what tastes good and lets It go at that When he beat Ted Meredith and came within one second of his own world's record the 660 yards he donned running shoes for the first time in almost a month. The fact that he had not practiced for the meeting with his most formidable rival worried him not at all. He was simply working out his "don't worrv" theory. The career of Mel Sheppard is one of the most picturesque In present-day athletics, largely because of his long stay ai the top of the pile.

He Is now almost 20 years old and has been a success In athletics for more than ten years. Until he was 19 years old ho displayed no interest in athletics. Started At Philadelphia, that age he entered Temple College Preparatory School, at Philadelphia, and a year later he was enrolled at Brown Preparatory Scho.ol. He became interested In running, and at the Olympic games in connection with the World's Fair at St, Louis. In 1904, he won the interscholastlc championship for the half mile and mile.

These victories gave him standing in the world of sport, but because of a dispute with the rulers of the Amateur Athletic Union he was not a member of the American team that competed at Athens in 130G. He was very much "on the Job" In 1903. however, and at the London Olympic games he hung up new marks for the 800. and 1,500 meters, as well as being a member of the winning relay team.
