The stories are written by a member of tlio linn-, si.ill', who has had a great deal of experience as coach of youthful football teams.— tor.) THE CAPTAIN SEES THAT THE PLAYERS PRACTICE CONSCIENTIOUSLY. Value of Practice Often Underes timated; Knowledge of Game's Details Makes <>reut I'layers. Thrump! Yes, thnt was a football. College teams have been at work, hard, and schools and athletic clubs are planning schedules and getting out playing material. The "more and ninro" will come from the public schools and las. He went to short when Bridwell slowed up. He did won derful work In the Giant-High lander series, but didn't cut much figure last year against the Ath letics. He hns what ball players call "wonderful hands" and is a pretty fielder, hut his position in the batting order, down at the bottom, speaks eloquently of his lack of hitting ability. athletic clubs. From experience as coach and official with such teams, the writer has concluded that the ONE reason why football has not long since become popu lar is that boys in grade schools and clubs do not KNOW the game, either in spirit or letter. The part of football written up In the papers, as a rule, is the roughness and the strategy, yet the REAL game lies in little de tails of the work of ther'^ndivid ual players- Wj * • The VERY FIRST thing the youthful football player MUST do, Is to master the rules;* every player should be able to answer any question pertaining to the game without hesitation. 1' F, H. Yost, the Michigan coach, has said that much of his past success was due to the "quiz classes" held frequently when training. These are merely interrogations by Yost, upon the rules, and ev ery varcity man at Michigan MUST be letter perfect. The rules this year are about the same as in 1911, with a few minor changes to simplify them, and a little study and discussion with other players -will get the rudiments into every boy's head. A quiz class and study will do the rest. When Sam White smashed through the Harvard line at Princeton last fall and grabbed a fumbled ball, he didn't pause and ask himself what to do next He had that ball in his arms and was off for the Red goal before he had time to think of anything. He acted mechanically, because he had been trained for weeks to do just as he did. Harvard said it was a fluke, that their team was bigger, stronger and better than Prince ton, but Harvard failed in a fun damental when a back fumbled and White was there to take ad vantage of the situation — which is football and sport. So, boys, learn the fundamen tals. Become so familiar with the little things—HANDLING THE BALL, CHARGING, BLOCK ING AND TACKLING—that you will do it instinctively when the time comes.

"If you fellows don't beat Aberdeen 100 to 0 ." Coach Perkins of the High school did not flniah his condi tion, but the players knew what he meant. The coach of the blue and gold hardly could expect a score like that when Aberdeen has been training so long espe tialy for this game, but his re mark just goes to show the spirit of the squad, coaches and root ers. Just to show how they re membered the game in Aberdeen two years ago Tacoma High is going into the game for all there is In them. Coach Perkins had his men practicing warding off the at« tack when Coblentz was punting. Part of the squad proceeded to ward off the attack of another part of the men. Harry Deegan sprained his an kle in the bucking yesterday and he will probably not 'be used for a week or so. "Chlng" Johnson had his nose injured in Tuesday's signal prjjctice and was not in school yesterday. He is expected to be able to play by Saturday. There was a whale of a squad out for practice last night, seven teams and subs enough to mako two toanis more. Outside of the first team and the eleven subs there was the second team and subs, the Midget team, and the four class teams. The class teams are Rolng at it in Btyle and especially the Freshmen and Jun iors who will attempt to kick the tar out of one another tomorrow after school. | National League \ Standing ot trie Clubs.

Oct. 3. — Following a quarrel with Light weight Champion Ad Wolgast Hobo Dougherty, who has train ed the little Dutchman for all his fights since his "pork and beans," is on his way east today to join forces with Joe Mandot, against Wolgast. Wolgast and Dougherty have been on the most Intimate terms for years, on one occasion the little champion setting the Hobo up in the chicken business. Local sports consider the deflec tion of Dougherty a serious hand icap to Wolgast. Dougherty will be in Mandot's corner when he meets the champion. Pigskin Prattle Coach Perkins now thinks that the Aberdeen game will not bo such a hard one. Just the same there is going to be some little spirit shown. "Dub" Coblentz is reported re covered from his illness and will be in the game Saturday. That brlngg forth several sighs of re lief. The inter-class games begin Friday. The first one will be be tween the Freshmen and Juniors. There will be some terrifying games in the series. Al Rushmer will be back In the fold Saturday. Olympia is expected to put up a good right this season. The cap ital city boys had a good team last year and with "Puss" Col bert to coach them this year there should be a good game when they play Tacoma in the stadium one week from Saturday. The IT. P. S. is showing more interest in football than usual and Coach Pltchford is predicting a mighty successful season. Pltcn ford was well pleased with the beating his charges gave Sumner Saturday. Coach Ghormley of Whltworth Is still running his men hard. Ghormley is saying very little but it Is thought he will have some thing in store when his team makes the first appearance.
