Na Tricks Exposed.
That the Cornhuskers might have

none. After the first point cam th lid
was put on all trick ylays and nothing
of th "brainstorm" variety was re
vealed. Not a forward pasa was tried
from th middle of the second quarter
until near the close of the final evasion.
Nebraska had the gam safely tucked
away so there was no need of showing
the Michigan scouts any of the trick
plays and deceptive formations,
The defensive play of th Cornhuskers
could hardly have been improved. The
formations for the forward pass protec
tion were good. The line men diagnosed
all shift plays In very fine style. The
formations for protection of the kicker
were such tbat none of Oibson's punts
was blocked. Delaney had none of his
stopped, but he wss several times so
hurried that ha made poor boots. The

NEW TORK, Nov. 18.-The American
leagu pennant for 1912 Is already won,
according to general opinion, and It must
be confessed that just now there Is little
likelihood of any club taking the
championship ' away from the Athletics.
The only way they can do It Is for the
champions to meet With some unlocked
for and unlikely setback or for the other
clubs to be made considerably stronger.
As possible rival, of the Athletic, for

and a change In management that club
Is In a fair way to do better next year.

NEW TORK. Nov. 18. Records of th
past show that there have been many in
teresting battles In the ranks of the
Amateur Athletlo union, but a recently
proposed amendment, planned for the
protecUon of tha . smaller clubs, has
created a aensatlon among th athlete,
and club members.
The proposed law makes it mandatory
for cinder path artist, developed by the
smaller clubs to stay with these clubs.
If they want to join larger and more In
fluential organizations they must com
pete unattached for two years before
making a change. ,
Six delegates from tho Metropolitan
association, headed by Secretary James
E. Sullivan, will cast votes on the propo
sition at the annual convention at the
Hotel Astor on November 20. Four of
them, whose opinion, are printed below,
are In favor of the amendment.
Another Important amendment to be
voted on 1 that appertaining to the strict
elimination of all college men from par
ticlpatlng in local meets.
In other word the big- club, cannot
call upon the student to help them out
when they go after team point trophies.
It wa. Frederick W. Rubleu, vie presi
dent of th Metropolitan association, who
surgeeted th two-year unattached busi
ness to Mr. Sullivan. Tb latter had th
sam thing In mind half a year' before. . ,
"It's hard to Imprest athlete when you
do a good thing for them," declared the
chieftain yesterday, -."but I'll bet they
will .id with me and tha other, who
think well of the new law.
Sferr Law Will Do Good.
"Naturally they are against it now,
but if they have the club spirit at heart,
and don't go after the so-called glory and
good Jobs, they will find out that the new
law will do them a whole lot of good.
"Let them stay where they belong, so
that we can get more competition and
Interest the publlo at large, instead of
the usual athletlo following. It the New
Torks and Irish-Americans capture every
thing, persona will look upon them as
the only athletlo club, in America,"
Mr. Rublen, who la working hard to
put the amendment through, agree, with
Mr. Sullivan In every respect.
"It's a mighty good thing for th
smaller clubs," he said yesterday, "and
will cut out a whol lot of thes one
night stand tricks of the fellow with a
reputation. If a club develops a man It
1. entlUed to keep him, unlesa soma un-,
foreseen things crop, up that prevents'
a young man from getting a square deal."
E. T. Hart ot the Mohawks, ex-member,
of the registration committee, aaya he
will vote for the amendments and he
feels confident they will pass without as
much as a fight.
E. J. V. Dolany is in favor of the law
standing as it is, claiming It an In
justice to compel an athlete to compete,
for two years.
"One year is plenty for a man to run
unattached," he said, "If he wants to
quit a club to go to another. I think that.
Is severe enough."
Give -Minors Sqaare- Deal.
. 1 II IK lit AWkJVI .i..,, wuw
side over tb famous roost wher ath
letes congregate dally to tell their,
troubles and who was one of tb finest
ten-mile runners back In the '90s, says
It Is about time that the minor organlra
tions get a square deal.
E. T. Haubold ot the New Tork Athletlo
club, believe one year Is enough punish
ment for the fellows who want a change.
So doea W. T. Jones of the Irish-American,
Atheltlo club, who Is well qualified
to speak on this subject.
Two years hi too long to keep an'
active follow on the outside looking In,"
declared Mr. Jones. "But I like the
college Idea very well."
Pat Conway, head of the Winged Fist
club, 1ms already stated his views he Is
In favor of the amendment.
When Harry Cloudy, the new president
of the Pnstlmeg, was asked what he
thought of it, he flared up and declared
himself on the spot.
"If I had anything to do with it," said
Cloudy, "I would make It a life term.
Some persons may laugh when they learn
of my opinion, but It stands. The Idea
of a big club butting In on an organiza
tion like mine and stealing an athlete
whom w developed.
"It Is about time a stop waa put to
such unfair tactics. One year Is not
nough; we ought to have two, and more,
if the honored gentlemen would look upon
It with favor."
Practically every prominent athlete Is
sgalnst the proposition.
Mel Sheppard la one of those who do'
not favor the proposed law and sees
nothing but hardship for ths athletes.
"It I felt like quitting the Irish-Americans
tomorrow," he said, "I would have
to compete unattached for two years. It
is a bad law and I agree with th fel
low In my class tbat It Is not fair."
