MULTIPLE KICK
t
1
NPW YORK, Nov. 10. — Kvery foot
ball season brings some new play or
series of plays to the fore end al- 1
though the present one is scarcely '
half completed, several novel gridiron
wrinkles have already made their ap
pearance. The Innovation to attract
the greatest amount of attention, in
the east at least, is what is known as
the “multiple kick," perfected by Pos
ter Sanford, coach of the Rutgers Col
lege eleven. Strange to say it is not
a series of kicks, as its appellation
would appear to indicate, but a single
place kick, in which several players
assist in the holding of the ball while
another supplies the propelling power.
It is a development of the old try
for a field goal from placement, which
the quarterback after receiving the
ball from the center dropped to one
knee and held the spheroid while the
fullback or some other player tried to
convert the drive into a field goal.
Under the new method, two players
stretch themselves at full length upon
the ground, heads opposite each other
and at right angles to the direction of
the kick, at a point about five yards
back of the scrimmage line. Directly
behind them stands the quarterback,
while behind him is located the player
who is to make the kick.
When the center oassed the hall it
is received by the quarter, who stoops
and places it in an upright position
upon the ground while the players, al
ready prone, reach out and hold it
steady with one or both hands. Hav
ing accomplished his part in the play,
the quarter Jumps quickly to one side
and the actual kicker steps or runs
forward and drives the ball into the
opponent’s territory for a field goal
or a punt.
The particular advantage of the
“multiple kick” over the ordinarily
attempted punt, or drop kick, lies in
the fact the ball is held securely un
til the full momentum of the drive
has been communicated to the inflated
pigskin. Owing to the spheroid shape
of the intercollegiate football it is hard
■ to drive it forward straight and true
I unless it is kicked at just the correct
point. With two men holding it on
opposite sides there is little chance
for the ball to twist as it is kicked,
and the Rutgers players have fre
quently driven the ball for sixty and
seventy yards from this formation.
The play, however, requires perfect
co-operation by all four players in
volved, and must be timed exactly,
since the defense given the kicker is
j naturally weakened owing to the mini
j tier of players handling the ball.
Haseball has oecn translated into
the French in order to remove ore of
the obstacles to further popularity of
the game among French speaking pee
| pie. The faculty of Assumption Col
lege at Worcester, Mass., has drawn
up a manual of play in that language
It presents baseball in terms scarcely
recognizable to most of the followers
of the nation's pastime.
The pitcher is a “lanceur,” the
catcher a “receveur." At shortstop
a player under the Assumptionist fao
ulty’s disignation, would bo a “blo
quer." Other places in the lineup are
indicated in the manual in this man
ner: First base, “premier but;” sec
ond base, "secondienne but; third
base, "troisenne but;” right field,
“voltiguer a droite;” center field,
“voltiguer au centre;” left field, “vol
' tiguer a gauche.” The coach is termed
“agasseur.”
In announcing the result of its work
the faculty of Assumption College
slated that while the game was already
popular among the students of the
French speaking colleges in this eoun
try and Canada, it fell short of the in
terest and support of faculties of those
institutions to which it was entitled,
largely because of difficulties of the
teuchers in becoming familiar with
the terms of the game. It was to
bring the language of baseball within
reach of strange ears that the manual
was devised, the announcement said.
Those who drew up the manual were
assisted by a membGr of the faculty
who had seen baseball played behind
the battle lines in France, and so made
observations of the phrases used by
French soldiers to describe players
and positions in the game.

There is as much difference i n Ranges as there is In horses. All
Ranges have flues, ovens, ash pan s, etc. You can’t judge a Range
from a printed description any more than you can judge a horse that
way. You have to see them to un derstand why one is cheap at the
price, and another Is dear at any p rice. See the MAJESTIC display
