and the latter fell to the floor. Nemesis, a Three-Year-Old Filly, Her First Entry, Won by a Head. Special to the NEW YORK, Sept. 22. frs.

K. R. Thomas, wife of the young multi-millionaire horse owner, made an auspicious entry in the turf world yesterday as an owner. Her 3-year-old filly. Nemesis, started in the last race at the Gravesend track, carrying her new colors; and won by a head In a driving finish.

It was Mrs. Thomas' first attempt to race horses in her own name and the result proved very gratifying to her. Spurred on by her Inherited love of thoroughbreds before her marriage she was Miss Linda Lee of Kentucky and the success which attended Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and Mrs. Herman B.

Duryea when they entered the field for trip honors by purchasing a horse, she bourht Nemesis recently from her husband. Nemesis was the horse that Mrs. Thomas confided her hones for a win for each team, and just the length Of the ball apart. Probably the reason that this rule was made was so that one umpire could look down the space between the lines and detect more clearly any infringement of the rules. Holding or slugging would be easier to detect And, furthermore, it is very prob the program a the owner.

But woman-like, Mrs. Thomas could not keep the secret and imparted It to her dearest friends after a promise of "not to tell." Consequently, nearly everybody at the track knew before the race was called that "Mr. Lee" meant Mrs. Thomas. Nemesis won.

but she had a hard struggle to-beat Stoic a head to the winning post. Mrs. Thomas bet on her filly and the result pleased her aa much as if Nemesis had won by a block instead of by a margin of a few Inches. able that the line men on defense would want to play a foot or two $0 away from their opponents, anyhow Why? The answer to this brings out one of the most important principles that will be a part of any system under the new rules. I cannot make it too ning beginning as an owner.

The i plain. The answer to this is that the line men on defense will not be taught to cnarge as they were last year. Co9d cash to the amount of $1,000,000 would not buy the fine live stock already entered for the Missouri State Fair at Sedalia, Sopt. 29-Oot. 6.

America's greatest prize-winning herds will be there. That word "charge" has hung over tiie battle-scarred gridirons of the past like a call to arms. A lineman who could not charge was useless. A "charge" whs the sudden powerful filly had never won a race up to yesterday, but nevertheless her fair owner was very fond of her, and next to Hermis, which she regarded as perfection in a thoroughbred, considered her one of the best horses In the country. This high regard was Influenced by Nemesis, her handsome chestnut colt, her bright eyes and two "white hind stockings" making an attractive appearance.

Mrs. Thomas, "with a pacty of friends, went to the Gravesend track yesterday in order to see her favorite win. She had selected "gray, magenta sleeves and cap" for her colors. She sought to hide her identity and ownership under the non de course of "Mn Lee," which nnme appeared on spring forward of the linesmen to meet their opponents, anil whichever linesman was the udlenest usually bnt his opponent back and stopped lie neavy massed attack.

Diagram No. 1, which you see on this page, is a general plan of the probable attacking and defending formation under the new rules. It is my object to scheme and plan a simple and strong system of play under the new rules and give my reasons for every move. In this way. which 1 think will be Interesting if followed closely, the reader can watch the unfolding of a system of playing football.

The beginner will, be helped and the spectator will bo surprised to find how ids interest increases when he understands some of the underlying reasons of football tactics. As the season advances the ideas of other coaches will be woven into our discussions. By studying diagram No. 1 you will note that the general formations there shown are not so radically changed from what they were under the old rules. What changes th-re are, however, will come out very plainly when our pen-pictured players begin to move.

There are a number of the principles of old football which will be preserved In the new. When there is a change the line of departure will be clearly shown with the reasons therefor. First, a simple statement of the main chanses in the rules and then we'll go back to our diagram. These changes can be found on page 33 of the new football rules. For the first time in our football a forward pass Is allowed.

It must be made, however, by one of the backs, and must be caught either bv a back or an end. It is doubtful, however, if this pass will be used much because if it touches the ground without hitting anyone first, it goes to the other side at that soot. Sti.l, however, in forming any dt fense, this forward pass must be takon into consideration. It may be made at any time during the scrimmage, but only once during each scrimmage. Instead of a team being ob'-iged to gain five yards in three downs, it must now make ten yards in the same number of attempts.

The result, of this will be. that there will be a great'deal more punting than ever before. This punting will be him would crush on over for a couple or yards more. I.lne Men Tnnght to (lack I'p. For these reasons the coaches will not rut much stress on charging, but will (RH)' j.

All he used to do was to protect his own position and help out the center rush and right tackle if he was not too busy with his own man. 1 his fall you will pr see the guard tackling all over the field FIis duties will be doubled, for he will have to watch to the attacking back field like a hawk to see what it is going to do.

and he will have to look out for plays aimed straight at him and also nut at the tackle or end. Therefore, in order to pet out of his portion quickly, he will want to stand a little back from the line of '1 is backing-up theory will be varied and enlarged as we progress. The Second Ire of Defense. 111 i' li I Next let us go to the diagram again and take a look at the second line of defense. Note that it is playing further back and more scattered than it was last year.

The ha.loacks are practically secondary ends, whereas they used to play just back or inside of their Attack tackles. Why is this? First, because the second line of defense is afraid of forward passes and the short kicks where everyone is on-side when the ball hits the ground. Second, because the second line of defense is not so afraid of short gains. made anywhere in the field bf play ex cept as has been said, over the line with in five yards of center. HYLAND AND FLYNN GET THEIR CHANCE 1 here are a number of good plays that can be developed from the forward pass.

so in forming your defense it has to be taken into consideration. The Third Line of Defense. The quarterback, who is generally a swift open field runner and a sure catcher and tackier, plays about thir ty yards back on defense. Just how far back he will play Is These Ambitious Young Boxers Will Meet Hanlon and Burns, Who Have Reputation and Are Favorites to Win O'Brien's Sad Predicament. very important this year.

further encouraged by a new rule winch provides that whenever a kicked ball hits the ground every one will be on side and anyone can get the ball. In general, we might sav that the new rules have weakened ant changed the attack in the following way: First. By requiring ten 3-ards to be gatnrd in three downs. Second. By a rule requiring the line men to stand in such a position that they cannot get out of the line very quickly in order to get in tlio interference.

Third. Doing away with massed plays. Fourth. Ioing away with hurdling. Fifth.

Stricter rules about use of hands in making openings in the line. In general, we might say that the attack had been strengthened by the allowance of the forward pass and by put-tin? everyone on side when a kicked ball hits the ground. Also by the rule barring tackling below the knees. These are very important changes, and their workings will be amply explained as we progress. The Xw Checkerboard.

Diagram 1 is our checkerboard, so let us get to work. First look at the positions In which I have placed the players on the defense; that is, the aide which has not got the ball. We have to see the defense in order to plan the attack. When a general attacks a fort he studies how it is defended. The first thing that will strike you Is that the two rush lines are playing further apart, and that the secondary line of defense Is i laced further back from the line of scrimmage, and the two halfbacks in this secondary are placed further out toward their respective ends.

Why is this? In the first place the two rush lines are forced to play a foot further apart. See rule 5, page 104, of the new rules. "The line of scrimmage for each side Is an Imaginary line parallel to the goal line and passing through that point of the ball nearest the side's own ifoal line." It follows that there re two lines of serlmmnge. one Why? Because he must be able to get to every kicked ball in the territory not covered by the second line of defense, before the opposing end rushers, whose side is kicking, can get there. Neither must he let the kick sail on Is going to do.

He Is matched with Bill Squires, the Australian, for a 20-round fight to take place at Melbourne, Australia, on Nov. 6. Jack "Wren, an Australian turfman, and a great admirer of Squires, has offered O'Brien $7500, win or lose or draw. If he will make the trip and meet Squires. O'Brien must be giving the Frisco public these days a good Imitation of how a half-starved colored hobo would act who has Just been offered a roast chicken or a roast turkey to chose from, with the understanding that he can only have one of the two.

O'Brien has always had the reputation of being the kind of a man who likes to sit down In a dark room with the bags of gold coin that he has earned in the ring since he gave up driving a cart for a living, banked about him and by running his hands through, cause the coins to Jingle, wliich music would be far sweeter to his ears than all the music In the world. O'Brien Is not a miser. He Is a human magnet when money Is concerned. The lucre that Is attracted and attaches itself to his person, very seldom sees the light of day again.

BfRKE. Two fairly good battles are scheduled to" be fought next Friday night in California. Fighting Dick Hyland and Eddie Hanlon clash in a 20-round bout Friday night, which will be the first contest of any class attempted In ind. therefore, does not have to spring to the support of the first line of defense so sharply as it used to do. Third, because the second line of defense is afraid of long end runs.

Undoubtedly this year in planning the attack a coach will lay great stress on the forward pass and the kick, because they are the only two new rules that favor his attack. Without them the balance of power would be completely In favor of the defense. The new rule that puts everyone on side the instant a kicked ball hits the ground is an extremely important rule. Now let us instance a possible play. Suppose the second line of defense was p'aylng close up to the first line, like it did last year, and not like it is playing In the diagram.

A sharp clever quarterback on attack would instantly signal for a short kick. He would make It himself. Just over the heads of the secondary line of defense, and his line men would dash through and get it the instant it hit the ground. The quarterback on defense has to play away back, and he could not get it in time. By moving your second line of defense back a littie vou can cover your territory against these dangerous little punts.

The Forward Pnnn. The forward pass can be made one in each scrimmage by the attacking side only. It cannot be made over the line of scrimmage within five yards of either side of center. It it hits the ground before it hits a player of either side It goes to the defending side at that spot. It can only be made by a back field over his head.

Remember that the ends are on-side the very instant the ball hits the ground and their punter will probably send his kicks low for that reason. the city of the Golden Gate since the In rdacing the quarterback on de for his first bout since he defeated Marvin Hart for the heavyweight title.

Men who fought Flymjde-clared that he was at all stages of a battle a dangerous man, as he fights desperately and when he rallies he wades in so aggressively as to generally cause, his opponent to break ground. Burns and Hart put up a poor fight.

He is a capable fighter, but Hart's friends have always contended that if they could get Burns to give Hart a return match that they would train about 30 pounds off Marvin and that he would be able tn For the followers of the game the outcome of both bouts be looked for with considerable interest. Hyland is a coming fighter. He has always possessed endurance, which, coupled with a knock-out punch, goes a long way towards making a successful fighter these days.

Hyland in his first professional fight met Frankie Neil and was stopped in 15 rounds. Hyland set himself down to learn the fine points of the game with the result that when he met Young Corbett, Hyland knew how to land his punches, and after a couple of rounds of hot fighting put the Denverite out of the running with a couple of hooks to the jaw. Next he met Tommy Mowatt, and to the Fighting Conductor was served the same bitter potion that Hyland handed out to Corbett. Mowatt put up a game fight, but when the good right fist of Hyland came up to his jaw, like all others Mowatt's knees bent, his eyes rolled and he sank to the canvas and was counted out. Hvland is a coming fishter, and from ness policy.

He makes friends easily, because of the scientific way In which he can hand out what was originally known as soft-soap, but In the course of time has been designated by various titles from hot-air to a term which Is also applied to the men who boost prices on the stock and grain exchanges.
