PAGE EIGHT Punt Is Football's Greatest Play, Says Famous Grid Coach Dy ROBERT C. ZUFPKE Football Coach, University of Illi nois, Author o? “Footb?.’l Technique and Tactics. ’ A sound football system teaches its quarterbacks and captain that the punt is its greatest play, and encourages the quarter to punt wn.cn in doubt; that on every per fectly executed punt, backed ‘up by a well drilled team, the ball-is given to the opponents in ex change for 40 yards of valuable territory. Should the opponent’s receivei prove himself a troubble maker, it is much better to kick out ’ot bounds, but, on the . other hand*, should the receiver alllow hinrelf to be easily worried and tackled, it may prove prof table 'o entour age the punter to kick the ball a high as possible so as to increase the chances of a fuqjble, for w!r.-h the system has prepared it? ends t? be on the lookout.

It teaches its men what to do with a loose ball, the result of. a punt that is to roll, and it advises the quarter when to call for an onside kick, and when to ex pect one from the -opponent, and -t asks him to remind his forwards which opponent they are to take, should the opponents line up osten sibly for such a kick.

Durbin, chairman of the Democratic , r State Executive committee, of Ohio, if has produced a piece of valuable f political literature in a pamphlet F..1 entitled “A History of the Origin, f ) Principles and Purposes of the I Democratic Party.” .rimoiig nuior.cal facts he makes ’ ) clear are that the plan of the con ! siiiution or tne united States which > I was adop'.cd was proposed by James ■ Madison, a Democrat, the first lieu- ; tenant or llio'nas Jefferson, known r to his generation as the Father of e the Constitution. That it was basely false that g Jefferson was agaiifst the consti tution, his original objection to it being remedied by the addition of > the Bill of Rights comprised in the i first amendment. t That the most recent biographies of Abraham Lincoln—one by Jesse t Weik and one by Prof. Stephenson j —contain the statement that the , only two men Lincoln was ever . heard to praise were George Wash ington and Thomas Jefferson. Among some of the, great coh structive acts of the Democratic P‘it-j he sets forth the following: The Bill of Rights in the Con-1 ( stitution. ' The Tcquisition of Louisiana.

It was a typical first-night audi-l ence, assembled to welcome a fa-j write actress irt a new play. All; the Sophisticates (as Clavering j had named them, abandoning "In-1 tellectuals” ajid "Intelllgentia"! to ilv? Parlor Socialists) were present: authors, playwrights, edi tors and young editors, columnists, A'amatic critics, young publishers, ‘lm fashionable illustrators ® and > ".ri.'onists, a few actors, artists, sculptors, hostesses of the emi-i rent, . nd a sprinkling of Green-; wtcb Village to give a touch of old; Bohemia to what was otherwise!

Journalistically he could rise no ' ipher. and none of the frequent ■BCn’mLhed parties given by the l.ioplii.iticales was complete with rr.t the long lounging body and saturnine countenance of Mr. Lee layering. As soon as he had set foot upon the ladder of prominence Mr. Clavering had realized the value of dramatizing himself, and rlthough he was as active of body c.s of mind and of an amiable and ycnial disposition, as his friends sometimes angrily protested, his world, that world of increasing Im. ■ crtance in New York knew him ; s a cynical, morose, mysterious creature, who, at a party, trans ferred himself from one woman’s side to another’s by sheer effort o! will spurred by boredom. Th) unmarried women had given him up as a confirmed bachelor, but s few still followed, his dark face with longing eyes. * (He sometimes wondered what role he would have adopted if he had been a blond.) As a matter of fact, he was in tensely romantic, even after ten years of newspaper work in New York and two of war; and when his steel-blue half-closed eyes roved over a gathering at the mo ment of entrance it was with the evergreen hope of discovering the consummate woman, • There was no affectation in his idealistic fastidiousness. Nor, of late, in his general boredom. Not. that he did not still like his work,' or possibly pontificating every! morning over his famous name to' an admiring public, but he was; tired of “the crowd,” the same old! faces, tired of the steady grind, of; bad plays—he, who had such a) passionate lova of the drama— somewhat tired of himself. He) would have liked to tramp the! world for a year. But although) be had money .bnefugh saved he. dared not drop out of New York.; One was forgotten over night, and; fashions, especially since the war,, changed so quickly and yet so subtly that he might be another year readjusting himself on his return.

He| never alluded to his distinguished ancestry now that he was eminent and comfortable, and he looked! I)ack with uneasy scorn upon his) former breaches of taste, but he never quite forgot it. No South erner ever does. The play droned on to the end of the interminable first act. Talk. Talk. Talk. He'd go to sleep, but would be sure to get a crick in, his neck. ■ Then he remembered a woman wbo had come down the’ aisle just as! the lights were low-i ering and,passed his seat. He had not seen her face, but her grace ful figure had attracted his atten tion, and the peculiar shade of her ;hair: the color of warm ashes. There was no woman of his ac quaintance with that rare shade iof blonde hair. 9 He opened his eyes. She was! sitting two seats ahead of him and the lights of the stage gave a faint halo to a small well-shaped head defined by the low coil of hair. Sbe had a long throat apparently, out although sue naa aroppea uer wrap over the back of the seat he had no more than a glimpse of a white neck and a suggestion of sloping shoulders. ‘ Rather rare those, nowadays. They reminded him, together with the haughty poise of the head, of the family portraits in the old gallery al home. Being dark himself, he ad mired fair women, although since they had taken to bobbing theii hair they looked as much alike as magazine covers. This woman wxre her hair in no particulai fashion. It was soft and ahun dant, brushed back from her face and drawn merely over the tips of the ears.. At least so he in ferred. He bad not seen even hei profile as |he passed. Frofilei were out of date, but in a'n old fashioned cotner of his soul he ad mired them, and he was idiy con vinced that n woman with so per fectly shaped a Lead, long and narrow, but not tc-o narrow, must have a i-r :ije. Probably her full face would not be so attractive. Women with eendve hair generally had light brows -and lashes, a id her eyes might be a washed-out blue. Or proniinent. Or her mouth too small.
