...abandoned and the season's important games will witness far more than ever before the open chance-taking style of play, in which wide-sweeping runs will be interspersed with forward, double and delayed passes. This does not mean that fundamentals of the leading schools of football will be thrown to the winds to be replaced by haphazard throwing about of the ball. On the contrary, the first games showed that the big elevens are better grounded at this period of the year in the essentials of sound football than in several seasons, and this despite the heavy handicap...

Men spend hour after hour in practicing drop and place kicking and punting and in other ways perfecting themselves in specialties.

Beware, Oh, Ye Cerclers, lest you find you cannot get back the hat from the circle into which you have so rashly thrown it. We the "Sauerkraut eaters" are glad to accept your challenge and will provide a keg of goodly Muenchener if our friends of the "Twirleries" will provide some good Mumm, for that being dry will surely increase our craving for the malted mixture. Hoping that the Twirlers' captain will speak...
