Cochems expects his team to win. however. If his eleven wins, by no matter what score, he will be happy, as he does not especially fear the result of the game with Crelghton next Saturday, and by Thanksgiving day his men should be In good trim for the most important contest of the season, the Car lisle game.

He ha made one change in hla line-up, as announced last night, and that la In aendlng Bob Devlin to right end fn place of Sullivan. The line-up for the game will not be absolutely certain until the men get out on the field, however. Cochems gave his men a tfood practice workout last night A long signal practice was followed by a workout of I the different formations.

Louis County. Cayou Tribe Should Have but Little Trouble, With Miltikin ByfDWARD B. COCHEMS, (Coach St. Louis University Football Team.) TACKLING is one of the rudiments of football. It ls presumed that any player should be able to make a clean tackle.

By a clean tackle we usually mean one just above the knees. The rule states that a tackle below the knees is Illegal and shall, be reason for a penalty, unless it was made legally above the knees and the arms slipped down, accidentally legalizing It. In order to perfect tackling, costly dummies have been Invented. These are generally a part of the coach's equipment. Some coaches believe In making live tackles, and have one player stand up or run and the others tackle him.

The particular man receiving the benefit of these tackles was usually a green freshman or someone who could be induced to take the punishment without complaint. Live tackling has gone out of vogue and the dummy tackling has taken Its place. Most of these dummies are the product of home genius and consisted of a large bag, sometimes filled with sawdust, stones and sand. The stones aud sand were supposed to toughen the football warrior, Just as blooded meat was supposed to give him a fierce disposition. Other dummies were made of three or four overalls filled with sawdust.

The prettiest and often the most effective tackle is the longx dive. It is cften called the "Devil tackle." The specious critic will tell you that this Is the only one of class. Should the team fail to make them he will lay all the blame to the other mode of tackle resorted to. Besides the one mentioned. Is the high tackle around the waist and neck.

These kind of tackles are always condemned, for they look crude and often appear to be In effective. In the line we have the blocking system of tackling of which the line man does no tackling at all, but simply blocks the play by shoving or throwing he other player Into the way of the attack. The double tackle is famous because the Carlisle Indians use It In many One man tackles low and the other high, and the tackled player is usually consiredably wrenched. i skidded across the road anU sideways against the hill, on, which the roadway was cut like a ledge. The shock did not break the car up, but smashed one back wheel and bent a front wheel.

Wells stuck to his car and was unhurt. Daredevils Didn't Dare. Barney Oldfield, Soules, Bildwln and other noted drivers may dispute the assertion that they did not cut down when they hit the bend on their trials. But to the crowd who stood at the bend waiting for an accident, it wai a noticeable fact that just before the cars reached the bend there was a lull, only momentarily It seemed, in the steady roar of the engine. Then the power would be thrown' on again and the cars would fairl leap up the rest of the course.

The free-for-all event was the feature of the day. A Stanley steamer racing machine was credited with making a trip up the course, driven by Baldwin, iu 40 4-6 seconds. There was trouble with the electric timing device, and while Oldfield did not make as good time as Baldwin, he cams close to the mark if his correct time had been caught. His best time was given as 49 2-5 seconds. Skinny" Woodward, a local man, driving a light Stanley, was credited with one trip up the hill in 45 seconds.

McLain, In the Apperson "Jack Rabbit," also got credit for a 45-second trip. The winners In the different events will not be announced until today. It seemed as though every auto In St. Louis-was out for "the events. Coming home In the moonlight, as the, events v- ere not finished until late, the fact that the hills were hard ones was dent-onstrated by the fact that no less than a dozen cars broke down.

OF all teama of consequence the Tale eleven Is the only one which" had not been scored against this aeason, omitting the games today. Tale haa also scored the largest total points, 132, made this year by any one team and It generally promlaea to uphold that sound football reputation which year after year It makes more and mora se cure. In vain Tale'a rivals have attempted to solve the mystery of ber success.

At one time It was said Tale knew better from what sources to get recruits; but proselyting by Harvard. Princeton and other institutions, proved that tt was not In its recruiting station alone) that the blue excelled. By some tt waa pointed out that the excluaiveness of the Harvard football set and the limitations It established regarding the weeding out of jtdldatea for the team, had kept It back la Its effort to achieve football distinction. But Princeton, which Is a notoriously democratic school, made but little bet ter progress against Tale than did Har vard. The only conclusion left seems to be that Old Ell la better founded In foot ball principles and In graduate coaching system.

Its methods are undoubtedly more systematic, mora thoroughly bulwarked than Harvard's, while It has a larger field to draw upon for Its terial than Princeton. HARVARD seemed tn have the foot ball world to Itself this season when It started out Ilka whirlwind by making large scores against the minor Institutions. It crum pled and cracked Wider fire, however, and seemed to have gone to pieces when the Navy beld It ts a tie. Its game with the Indiana toda was the most Interesting of Its schedule, to the present time, aa showlns; whether the eleven possessed real stamina and recuperative powers Is the face of setbacks. Tale, arhich started with poor prospects, gradually improved and strengthened -until today It's the eleven which must be beaten for the ehamptenahlp.

It la now an undoubted favorite to defeat both Princeton and Harvard. They call It Tale spirit whatever Is, there ts a something about Tale that ao other university In the country has, athletically, succefled In grasping. Th leaitlsaele PAID 4 revisits tbe rwt-ma-HHrla Is St. LU mm Its nksrta ts sremtev ALL etM Saw! OawSJ pecially interesting to followers of 'ocal football tackling. The subject has a peculiar attraction, from 'he fact that Cochems' eleven is notoriouslx composed of the poor est men at this rudiment of fool-ball of any eleven that has played in St.

Louis for some years. In fact the game with the Uni versity of Ptttsburg, here, was lost through the failure of one player to make open-field tackles, result ing in the only two touchdonws of (he day being scored by the list tors. Cochems, in the past, has ad vanced the theory that with ten yards to gain, instead of five, the necessity of sharp, hard tackling was not as strong as in the days zvhen an inch might mean a touchdown, He has pertnited his men liberties which, in the eyes of Eastern coaches, would be considered all but heresy from the foot ball standpoint. Runner ELLIOTT DEVELOPS INTO STAR FOOTBALL HURLER Coach Cayou of Washington U. has unearthed another football star.

His latest achievement is making a forward passer out of Elliott, the new end. Cayou has been giving Elliott private attention, coaching him to throw at the right moment and how to ward off tackles, until he has developed Into a first-class tosser. Friday his passes were accurate and fast and were averajlng from to S3 yards. Cayou has many Carlisle plays which -rouna me iorwara pass, and all aeason he has been searching for the man who could throw the ball. First Ooldsmtth, then Bouton and Rodenberg wera tried, but all fell short, but Cayou believes be now has the right man In Elliott.

The legitimate PAID, circulation of the Post-Dispatch la St. Xanla and Ita sabarhe Is greater thaa that ALL other English Dailies Is Governed by Conditions There is no one mode of tackling. Contingencies arise where the low diving tackle is as absurd as the neck or waist tackle. Moreover, often it is Impossible for the tackier to choose. In a mass of interference he will be unable to dive at the man with the ball; in the open tackle the stiff arm will throw him down.

The general rules, I believe, are these: In line plays block and get your man low. In the open tackle above the knees if you can, but If a stiff arm is used a high tackle will be more effective. The way to learn tackling is to use a dummy in the early part of the season and then actual tackling in the latter part The use of the head and shoulders tackling brings one to the more intricate and highly developed departments of this feature of the game. Also a close and wise consideration of the requirements of the new rules will alter some people's Ideas if they can apply tackling defenses to meet these needs. HARVARD FACING SEVEREST TESTS Indians Are Confident of Defeating Crimson; Dartmouth Should Worry Tigers.

BY JAMES J. HOG AN. Former Yale Captain and All-America Tackle. NEW YORK, Nov. 7.

Two of the most Interesting games of the football season, will be played today. New York is for tunate In that one of them Is at the Polo Grounds. Princeton and Dartmouth are In condition to play their best. Dartmouth won from Princeton by 6 to 0 in 1906, but the Tigers triumphed a year later by a score of 42 to 0. That every effort and every artifice of the Tigers' coaches and players will be used to avoid defeat Is assured.

When the Tiger team is in action and imbued with such spirit, football that Is well conceived, brilliant and capable of win ning from the best college eleven Is sure to be played. The Tigers' best is need ed to win. No mediocre game will do. will not even hold the opposing elev en, as It did when Princeton played Syracuse. Unless Princeton shows high-grade form the Tigers will be defeated.

Dartmouth la one of the hardest teams on the gridiron to beat. The eleven is veil coached, the Eeason's work being carried out on plans well understood and thoroughly In harmony with the type of men on whom the coaches rely. Dillon DonbtfnI. Until this afternoon' no one will know whether the Tigers will begin without Ca.pt. Dillon's services.

What a loss he Is to the team no one appreciates but those on his team. With a speedy set of backs Dart mouth has built up a strong passing game, the season being begun with the purpose of mastering this style of play. But to the amasement of the coaches, the back field has developed more along the line of old-fashioned plunges. The passing game, once mastered by men so hard to pull down, gave the New Hampshire men an easy victory over Amherst. The variety of formations will also puzzle the Princeton line.

Pop Warner, with Little Old Man and Man Afraid of a Bear, but not of John Harvard, will attempt to trounce the atter in the Stadium. If confidence Is of any advantage to a team, the Indians have the call. For some 'reason this team, after defeating a pale- race organization, rates the latter as far below Itself. There Is never any doubt In the Redskin's jnlnd that in all future conquests he -Will come out first. To be defeated under such cir cumstances is a peculiar disgrace to him.

Harvard's offfnse is good enough to score. The team wH sur ly do so, but the method of doing so will not permit tnc collegians to do so as often as the methods of the Intlians, unless Harvard blocks the latter' kicking game. The red mtrf will not win by passing and nslde kicking this year. Harvard Is too wise to allow these to work with sny sustained success. Thorpe's an1 Balenti's tors must be time and time again.

Harvard will not have Burr, and in the. of kicking will suffer by comparison with the Indiana. Yale ExBrlmeata Bad. Outside of these two great contests the others worthy of notice are the Brown-Tale and Penn-Lafayette games. The Yale team Is determined, and all experiments are at an end.

The Blue's offensive machinery ha bren working It first-rat: trdt-r for some tlm. No Brown team that ever came from th? hill top could atop the wonderful back- field at New Haven. Coy.

Barney Oldfield, Ollle Savin, Saulrs, Baldwin, Tuttle, Christy and other ex pert drivers of high-power raclpg machines will meet In the opening Heats of the free-for-all automobile race, the fea ture event of the two-days' automobile event which begins at the Fair Orounds racetrack this afternoon. That the race meet will result In bona.

fide contests was demonstrated yester day afternoon, when all of the men In question had their racing machines out at the hill climb. Christy's machine did not compete in the hill climb. His car is a heavy monster with the cylinders over the front axle, driving from the front. This car would therefore not do for a hill climb. Oldfleld'a Steans' "six," th same car he used yesterday, the Apperson "Jack Rabbit." Stanley "Whistling Billy," Christy's record-breaking "freak" machine, are all promised for this afternoon's heats.

7. Charley Griffin of Australia made his debut in this city last night and received a severe defeat at the hands of Harry Baker, the clever Califomian. Griffin proved to be of the Battling Nelson style of fighter, without being able to get in close enough to damage an opponent like the lightweight champion. Opposed to a man like Baker, who Is unusually clever and speedy, Griffin was almost helpless.

A test or nerve ana skiu in anving, instead of machines, were the hlll-climbing contests held on Solo mon's Hill, 15 miles out on the Manches ter road, yesterday afternoon.

That nobody was seriously hurt seemed' all but miraculous. Experts who- watched the flying cars declared that but one man during the afternoon had the nerve to hold his throttle open from the start. and the driver in question, Philip Wells, in a Moon car, came to grief half way up the incline. It appeared foolhardy to give the ma chines their full power all the way up the hill. In the flrot place, the road was what might be called a crown macadam road.

There was a hump In the center which sloped down on either side. The entire six-tenths mile course up the hill called for the machines to almost complete an S. Half way up the course there is a sharp turn. On one side of the road not more than ten. feet away is a sheer drop of 40- feet.

Any car running off the road and down into the valley would have been smashed Into a heap of scrap iron and the driver undoubtedly killed. Well Took the Risk. Wells was really one of the first men In a high-powered car to make the run up the hill. When he came for the turn the exhaust from his cylinders sounded not unlike the hum of a bumble bee, showing that his engine was work ing to its limit. He hit the turn going at fully 45 miles an hour.

Unfortunately he was on top of the crown. His back wheels skidded down naturally to the valley side of the road. Wells kept his nerve and clung to his steering wheel. But by holding his car steady the ma chine turned completely around and TODAY'S FOOTBALL GAMES. I.OCAI, TEAMS.

7. The Navy anticipates a hard game today with VUlanova, but expects to win. When the game was scheduled, it was thought that It would furnish a little let-up after the Harvard and Carlisle games, but the work of VUlanova indicates that the Navy will have anything but an easy time of It- The Navy will have In ita strongest line-up, with Cobb at left end In place of Robertson. Cobb Is doing so well that Robertson will have some trouble getting his place back, even It he gets in perfect condition. Dalton will again do most of the punting.

He has been getting them ever lots ef yards to practice this week and la placing them THE James Mllllkln College eleven, frctm Decatur. will certainly spring a big surprise if the team i able to make a good showing against the Washington TJ. eleven In the Sta dium this afternoon. The Jallllkln.tearo was beaten badly by the Wabash team, and Wabash wis In turn beaten by Rose Poly. Then St Louis defeated Wabash.

Comparative scores in football cio not count for much, but at the time from all accounts of the Mllllkln team the eleven will not have much of a chance against Cayou's fight ing lightweights. The Washington team was given a COCHEMS QI Bt.

Hadley will be the appointor of AL Harvard in Game Today THE big games In the East are the Harvard-Carlisle and the Dartmouth-Princeton contests. Carlisle should defeat Harvard by a close score, but it will be by the touchdown rather than the kicking route. Harvard should score by kicking, with possibly a touchdown thrown in.

Princeton and Dartmouth will be either a tie game or Princeton should win. This prophesy Is given notwithstanding the fact that Dartmouth has been especially successful and Princeton a failure. Wisconsin and Minnesota offer the blggeat battle in the Middle "West. Minnesota should be defeated, but, not by a heavy score. Williams will design a special defense for the forward pass, and If he doesn't meet it he might as well give -up football.

He has the men and the speed, and should he fall to stop Muckelstone, Moll and company with the use of Radamacher, Pettijoha, McGovern and Johnson, he has proven himself a failure at the new game.

Interest centers in the $2000 opening handicap at a mile.

Sam Hildreth has four candidates, of which Mongomery is considered the best. The Hildreth stable probably will be the favorite with Jack Nunnally, the winner of the stake In 1307. the second and President Williams' Firestone third in favor.
