Written -Ex pressly for International News Service.) St. Louis, Sept; 17. The amateur goir championship of: the United States assumed real national characteristics today when for the first time the Pacific coast was adequately represented in the field of more than 100 starters. This is the first time the tournament has been conducted west of Chicago, and the amateuijj players who live along the pacinc seaboard ana in tar western states havp taken adavntage of an opportunity, to convince eastern players that distance alone has prevented them from taking rank with the foremost amateurs of the nation. Ten of the finest Pacific coast golfers are here in complete and they hope to qualify enough players so that a question can nfever be raised concerning the quality I of golf played by the followers of the game in the far west.

p-s-en 2F EDWARD li. (Bp the United Pre.) Kew Haven. Conn, 17. Tale has hopes this fall to erase the painful memory of the 1920 football season when the Ells fell down before Boston College, Princeton and Harvard. Tad Jones, who left his business interests in Seattle lat year in the attempt to bring: Yale out of the rut, is back again in charge of the squad.

He has been devoting his attention to the gridiron since the close of last season, when his -team was mauled by Harvard. Tale says openly, that too much is not expected of the team this year, that Jones is, laying the foundation of a system that may not begin to show results for another year or two. Prospects are none too bright for a championship team or for one that will defeat Princeton or Harvard, as both rivals in the "Big Three" a much brighter outlook. If Jones is able to fill Captain Callahan's place on the lino and discover some good material, the lilue ought to have a. fairly successful season, as the schedule is none too hard.

THE DAY'S PLAY How to Enjoy One of the most important featherweight championship contests that has been arranged In several years will take place in Cleveland this afternoon when Johnny Kilbane, champion, will defend his title against Danny Frush, the Baltimore challenger and recognized as the chief contender. Tremendous interest has been aroused in the event chiefly because Frush is regarded by many expert critics as a dangerous contender, while Kilbane is believed to have reached (By SOL METZGER) (Veteran Football Coach.) The Tiger Confident.

(Bg the United Press.) Princeton. N- Sept. 17. Only the cracking of a whip in the hands of Coach Bill Roper is keeping the Nassau Tigers from jumping out of the cage and starting a feast of the 1921 football meat. Roper's greatest obstacle, as lie ap-nroaches the new season, is to restrain that age in life where his usefulness as sidered.

Ki Most anybody will admit that the highly favorable to the champion, but in these days of title contests the champions usually dictate terms that suit their own convenience, with little consid eration for the claims of the challengers. Kilbane is to receive $60,000 for this battle, win, lose or draw. Frush must make weight; Kilbane need not. Frush is to receive $2,500, which will just about pay his heavy training expenses. Frush reward for1 this battle is the chance of annexing the featherweight crown, He may and he may not.

If he does the $2,500 purse for today's battle will not be a drort in the bucket tn what he will re an rlummAn a VW VllUlUIVll in the future. If ht should dethrone Kilbane and hang onto the crown Jialf as long as Kilbane held it he will acquire riches, for Kilbane has become wealthy since he scorec over Abe Attell in California many years ago. Kilbane a 10 to 8 favorite. The gambling element that always follows a big fistic event, and which makes a close study when risking large sums, has it all doped out that Kilbane's speed, his dazzling boxing and his dangerous right cross will save him from disaster. The long shot boys will be taking the short end andj hoping that Frush's youth and stamina will offset a veteran's speed and science.

Some argue that if Frush lasts four rounds he has a good chance, for Kilbane is bound to slow up. Johnny has made it known he regards this bout as one of the most important in his long career, and announces he will be fit as he ever was and will try to stop Frush in jigtime. 1 Today's Sport Calendar RACING4-Meetlng of Queens County Jockey pCIub opens at Acqueouci.

SEMI-PRO BASEBALL Manager Art Swartz of the Hewitts has booked the Sahlens, who just closed! a most successful season in the Municipal association, for a bargain attraction at Park Junior stadium tomorrow afternoon, the first contest to be called at 2 o'clock.

These two clubs are rivals for the local championship.

The champion Niagaras will again strive to shake the Jinx which is hovering over them in the series with the formidable Niagara Falls club tomorrow afternoon at baseball park. The Niagara Falls outfit which is foremost in the chase, for western New York semi-pro championship honors has thrice beaten the Shoemakers this season and every time by a one ran margin and after the most gruelling sort ct battles. I 1 After Coveted Honor on St. Louis It Is the presence of these west coast players which gives the, championship its national Importance, for all of the leading eastern and middle western stars are here. To cope with the golfers from the Pacific are the best of the lot from New York, Massachusetts i-nd practically every state in the Union in which golf is played extensively.

International Aspect Also. Nor 'Is the international aspect entirely lacking. Willie Hunter, winner of the British amateur championship at Hoylake in June, and Tommy Armour, the brilliant Scottish player, are here to represent old world golf. The tournament has drawn heavily from. States which have heretofore been unable to send representatives on the long journeys to the eastern courses where it has been the custom to contest for the national title.

BOY SCOUTS ON DIAMOND.

This afternoon at 4 o'clock Boy Scouts will gather at No. 4 diamond. on the meadow at Delaware park to root for thir Scouthaven baseball team in its tnn with the team representing the I iffalo Jewelry Case Co. Football Games of the latter eleven being! placed at various points well distributed over that area, the ball can be! kicked to. Why this method of placing men preparatory to play? In the lease of the team kicking, so it may be sure to have tjacklers reach any point where the ball falls in the least possible time, thus preventing the ball being returned ty a run.

In the case of the Other eleven, so it will be sure to have a man in position to catch the ball 1 wherever it falls. As both teams! have equal rights to possession of the ball this latter formation is There are flight variations to thes i formations but all elevens follow these simple principles. It is common sense to do liO. j- Let us next concern ourselves with uhe simple principles governing the action of each team when! ithe ball is kicked. The dominating orie of the kicking team is to have the ball kicked as as possible and farj down 'the peld.

Hence, those high tees of mud upon! which the ball is placed. This akes more time for a high ball to reach a given point down the field than a ball of low trajectory. Thus, players running to make the tackle, save previous yards and usually prevent the kick-off being run back any distance. The reverse is true when a ball is kicked close to the ground! Then, the defense is able to carry it well on the field. One other principle governs the used only when! the kicking team purposely kicked to a slow runner simply because the time element again ermits the tacklers-to get i him farther flown the field than they jwould a fast unner.

The game of. football Is a ame built around the gaining Of yards. They are precious. Similar principles apply to the team receiving the kick-off. Watch most any player catching a kick -off and you twill see him run straight up the field.

That line is not only the shortest distance to thtej opponent's but by following It he also gets nearer to this goal before ibeing tackled than! if he ran toward oriel side or the bther. Either of the latter movements gives the tacklers more time in which to reach him. I The last important principle governing the receiving Of i the kick-off has to deal with the 10 1 players not catching it. If you note; Jthem at the nextj game you witness 3fou will see them running at full speed to a point in front of the man catching the ball. As they are nearer to him than the opponents they reach this position before the tacklers arrive there.

Here they form In front of the catcher and they attempt to block off tacklers, should tacklers arrive before the ball is caught, or, should the ball be caught first, then run interference for the catcher straight ahead over the course cbosen in advance the straight line. from where the ball is caught to be opponent's goal. Surely there is nothing; about any of the principles governing! the play of eithereleven in this flrsti movement of a game that is beyond the! comprehension of the spectator. In; fact. In considering them for a morhent, you will note those fatcor? and forces which govern all football.

Youiiote the value of the individual in the: game in the case of the kicker and thd catcher and the dominating power of the team as either tacklers or interferes gain the upper hand in the effort of one eleven to run back the kick-off or the effort of the other to prevent this by getting its tacklers to this runner. Note these points when next you view a game. They will jdetermine In a large measure the success of failure of this play. Football! is withal a match of similar forces, and co-operative, with the success of the team always depending upon the play of the individual. (Let the interfere fail in this case to block the tackier and.

the team suffers loss of Drecious yards, or vlceyersa. Thus football is shown to be 6. game of cooperation, depending in every case upon the members of either team to outplay hi opponent. And that is why it has not only become our most popular fall i sport, but is also (recognized by educational institutions as a great con structive game. After all, team play, depending upon the individual, is what we want our sport to teaen our youtn.

Fortunately, football lends itself readily to this purpose. Stripped of its technical camouflage, no sport is based On more simple principles of common sense, all of which are easily understood by one who has never played the game.

Let an examjple prove the contention that football is built upon simple, common sense principles. No one system of play of recent years has been more wideiv commiented upon than that created by' Haughton at Harvard. And, as in all systems of play, success rested lupon the play of the rush line.

It is no'rnore of aJ mystery to the average fan than 'to coach that a back can not move forward unless his rush line clears the wayj Haugnton Dasea rush line nlav on this principle, but, instead of having anything intricate! about the play of his rush lines his plan was simplicity itself. It was nothing more than to have his forwards, lined! up shoulder to shoulder, charge straight ahead. Openings were not sought for. I Haughton believed and brightly, that if the line advanced tne backs were bouna to. Much has been written of the failure of Harvard ti I mumber Its players.

A clear reason, I rladily understood, has been the cause, although football writers have been inclined to attribute this stand of ithe Crimson school to jsome mysterious aim upij u.uucn principle or pjay mat uueui unclosed were the Harvard players known to the scouts I of other teams. Nothing of this sort has been back of the determination of the Cambridge football authorities not to number playera Every person will agree that of a group of severi men there will be differences in their speed, actions, movements, strength and ability to do any particular Now, there are seven men on a rush line. In opening holes, in charging back opponents, there can be no variation to the principle-already lairi flown. Some of these seven can do such a job better than That goes without! paying. Spectators at a football game Fin which Harvard plays will recall the fact that before most running plays the Crimson eleven shifts its linemen about.

It will Tiot now be difficult to explain to them the reason why Harvard objects to having its players numbered. Tt would identify them This I would not permit this eleven to follow its simple plan of attack, a plan that calls for shifting the best of the seven at charging to the point of attack, simply because scouts watching Harvard would then be able to note where a. great many plays were to be directed before their start. So far. Harvard; has been able to apply this very simple plan to its attack without its opponents noting It, all because their players have not been numbered.

Now.j I ask, is there anything complicated about all this? Isn't it as simple as the hose on your face? And, let me add. If you strip all football of its camouflage you find the same basic principles of common sense back ot it. The Principles of the Kick-off. nnt let us itake uo the game step by step so we may best interpret its principles for its many fans. The first play of football Is the kick-off.

One teamj spread across Its 40-yard line, kicks the- bail to its- opponent; the members or keep within reasonable limits the optimism of the Princeton squad and the Nassau students. Since the sauad reported, he has harped continually on the evil effects Princeton has every reason for lation, as the prospects for a brilliant season could not be more promising. The nucleus of the 1920 eleven, which had a legitimate claim for the eastern championship is Uapi. cianiey is.ecK, Au-Aintntau tackle, and one of the forwards on the gridiron, is back with the team, as well as Don Lourie, the bril-.

liant quarterback, and the great half- backs, Gilroy and Gharrity. In addition mere are a numuvr ui own v-j a who were ineligible last year. Murrey, Lhe star drop-kicker; Scheerer, the best punter in the east last year, and the dynamic Mike Callahan, are gone, but there are good second-string men ready to take their places. One of the features on the schedule ia the first international game with Chicago at Princeton. Another game of importance is with the Navy at The schedule follows: Swarthmore, Oct.

Colgate, Oct. Both Boxers Are Reported In Shape Chief Halftown, the Irving, N. Indian middleweight, and Frankie Schoell, Buffalo welterweight, who will box the main bout of 12 rounds for the Queensberry club at the Broadway auditorium next Monday night, are reported in fine fettle for their Joust with the big gloves. Speculation around boxing circles is on the length of the battle, for some are of the opinion that Schoell will wear down the Indian by his speed and fast boxing, while others incline to the impression that Schoell Js going out of hia weight class with a middleweight who can step some him-tself. If one lends ear to the whisperings of Ben Bliven, then Halftown is right now standing up listening to the referee count the fatal 10 over the prostrate form of Schoell.

If a fan turns to the Schoell camp he will hear a convincing statement Schoell will go around Haltown as a cooper works around a barrel, and that the Indian will be dizzy from running Into left jabs and right hooks.
