No Interest Charges 1 XSlri CHARM 4 3V ikir. EWJi 4 CaAi I (J CHARM No Team Can Win Consistently Using Nothing; but Forward Passes, Says New Coach of St. Louis U. Hopefuls.

A 13 conversation with Ernest c. Quigley. coach of the St. Louis University football eleven, convinces one he is both smart and a student of football. Given twice that length of time and you will leave Ernest Quigley thoroughly convinced that win.

lose or draw. St. Louis University is going to play as smart a game of football this season as any eleven ever turned out at tha Billiken institution. There is just one "if" connected with the latter statement. The Billikens are going to show a distinctly different style of play this year IF they can master Quigley's tactics.

And it's an odds-on bet that any aspirant for a place who can't fathom the new coach's strategy, won't suck with the squad very long. A football coach at this stage of the game isn't a walking encyclope-i dia. of the mentors maintain an air ot secrecy, fearing exposure of their tricks. Hence, characteristically. Quigley would nt come out openly and outline the methods he expects to pursue, but gleaned from hints he dropped, it's a safe statement that "Quig" has mapped a plan of strategy to meet anything he is apt to encounter from the opposing eleven.

Can't Win With Passes. "St. Louis will play an aerial game," said the coach vesterdav aft ernoon, "when I believe we can make headway with it. But understand this: no football team ran win ron-nlstently HilK nothing: but forward puKttr. "At best the forward pass is SO per cent efficient.

I would compare it with the 'squeeze play' in baseball. It looks just as good as the 'squeeze' when it's successful and just as bad when it isn't. The 80 per cent is. I believe, the utmost to be expected from the forward pass. Hence, it is readily seen that 20 per cent, is lacking.

"A good forward passer must be in addition, a distance punter and an GREAT LAKES IS VICTOR OVER ILLINOIS TEAM IN HARD-FOUGHT GAME, 7-0 TIBAXA. Oct. 12. The Great Lakes N'aval Training Station football team won its second game of the season here today, defeating Illinois University, 70. in a desperately fought contest.

Kxcept for the first period, when Illinois did a lot of fumbling, the elevens were evenly matched. The sailors scored the lone touchdown of the game in the first period, when Dobson was shoved over for a touchdown. In the second quarter. Illinois, by a series of lino plunges, carried the ball to the Great Lakes 20-yard line only to lose the ball on a fumble. At the start of the third.

rriscoll. after receiving the kickoff, reeled off 6. yards, putting he ball on Illinois' 30-yard line, before being downed. Kopp, however, intercepted a forward pass, giving the Illini the ball. In the final period.

Zuppke's men tried desperately to score through the use of forward passes, completing four out of nine attempts. The sailors, however, kept their goal safe by punting out of danger. The ball was in Great Lakes' possession in the middle of the field when the game ended. Illinois. Position.

It was during this time that the famous 'guards back' formation was introduced by Dr. Wylie G.

Woodruff at I'enn and later at Kansas. "This formation soon gave way to the 'tackles-back' and both pet plays of Fielding H. Tost. Mass plays caused the casualty lists to mount each year and finally, football men were summoned to confer on changing the rules, after the death of the son of the Mayor of Buffalo, from an accident on the gridiron. Must Surprise Enemy.

"It was then that the rule was framed which stated that any one of the five middle men who were placed in the backfield must be at least five yards behind the line of scrimmage and backfield men must be sent into ho iin to replace them. In other words seven men had to be on the line of scrimmage at all times'. This effectually eliminated the mass play and made the so-called open style of football popular. "The secret of much success in football is the same as in baseball, i the element of surprise. If you can catch the other fellow napping your plavs have a much better chance of success.

Hence. St. Iouis LT. will have no particular formation for either passing or kicking. I hope to catch mv opponents unawares." Quigley expressed the view that he has a wealth of material at St.

Louis not alone for football but for basketball and track as well. He has not decided on the various men who are expected to win places. The coach also added a word of praise for Jimmv Kiordan. whose task it is to develop a kicker, stating that Jimmy apparently was very efficient. Brief Sketch of Quigl-y.

Just a brief sketch of Quigley's career in athletics might be interesting. He was born in 1881. in Newcastle, New Brunswick, Dominion of Canada. He studied law at Kansas in 1S00-1901 and went to Missouri State Normal as teacher and athletic coach in the latter year and the spring of In the same year he returned to Kansas and in the fall of 1902 entered St. Mary's College as director of athletics.

He also was a teacher of history and Knglish at St. Mary's. He remained at St. Mary's until April 1. 1913, when he obtained a leave of absence to become an umpire in the International League.

On Friday. June 13. 1913, he entered the National Leagues as an umpire. He returned to St. Mary's in the same year and remained there nntil April 14, 1914.

when he abandoned coaching for an umpire's position. Since that time, however, he has officiated in never less than "5 collegiate football games and an average of 60 basket- ball games each year. And that Quigley knows his business is shown by his record at St. Mary's. He won 11 out of 13 football championships in the Kansas College Conference and his baseball teams never lost a title.

The statement may sound strange, but if you will watch St. I.ouis I'niversity this season, you'll see what I mean. Three things are absolutely essential to the success of the forward pass. They are a fast charging backfield, good open field runners and a strong line. You cannot sacrifice either of the three and retain the other two.

Has Made Rapid Advances. "Football, like baseball, has made a rapid advance in the past decade, not alone from the playing standpoint, but from the spectator's as well. It has been rendered about as safe as the game itself will permit. Moreover, the style of play, the makeups of the elevens have been radically changed during this period. I would say the game has become 'smarter' if that can be understood.
