Will Mean Hard Work Zuppke’s “average man” eleven will have this advantage, the coach believes:: It will mean that Michi- gan on defense will have to watch eleven men instead of concentrating on one or two dangerous stars. Qosterbaan is a marked man. Michigan’s two conference games have shown him to be adept both at receiving passes and tossing them. besides being sure death to plays started around his end of the line. The Michigan offensive, from training indications, will _ include some place kicking, for Gilbert has heen booting them over from the 30- yard line for hours, in the daily practice. So far this year no field goals have been made in conference games, and very few have been at- tempted, though one-point victories have bobbed up as of yore.

The story goes that the referee of this game between eleven tough Army boys and elevent tough Navy boys asked the Army captain as the game started whether they had any trick plays, or anything they wanted him to watch in particular. “Only one thing, Mr. Referee, | came the answer. ‘Remember, this is not a college game. Please do not penalize the Navy too much, the ‘Army players will take care of themselves.” pe i From the Navy captain came the same t—Don’t penalize the Army boys too much, the Navy boys will take care of themselves.” So, for 60 minutes, io fought, and fought hard! The Navy took care of itself. The Army took care of itself. Football to them was not a tea party, but a game in which eleven Army men battled eleven Navy men for all they were worth. The moral to the story is that) the roughest, toughest man-to-man fight in football always leaves the KNIT TROUSERS Rely on Eleven ‘Average When Babe Ruth made 60 home runs during the season of 1927, to break his best previous effort of 59 made in 1921, he also estab- . lished another record that it is doubtful if any slu ger will equal, In The Yankees made 158 home ryns, of which Ruth, Gehrig and Lazerri contributed 125, Gehrig adding 47 and Lazzeri 18 to the 60 the Babe accounted for. The next closest club to the Yankees was the Athletics with 56, then St. Louis with and Detroit 51. Cleveland, with 26, had the low- est mark in the home run column. In the National League, only three teams made more home runs than Ruth’s mark of 60. The Giants knocked ovt 199 four-base while St. Louis made 84 cago 74.

Although there is many a good game left in Johnson's strong right arm, the “Big Train” requested his release because he felt that it would} be only a short while. before ho would be forced to stand aside. He will celebrate his fortieth birth- day anniversary November 6. Won 414, Lost 275 Games During his fifth of a century in! baseball, spent entirely with Wash- ington, Johnson won 414 games and lost 275. His biggest season was 1913 when he recorded 36 victories} against seven setbacks. “Barney” holds the record for most pitching years in one of the big leagues, also for most games pitched and most games won in either major circuit. His American League career was rounded out with 8,494 strikeouts which is also a rec- ord performance of its kind, An- other mark credited to Johnson is shutouts pitched, 113.

When the gridiron hero goes out to wal- low around for his alma mater, per- force he must be dressed in the style of the day. Knitted pants are the things this year. Last season, Jimmy Phelan, coach at Purdue University, sent his men out with their stalwart limbs encased in silk. Rubber was the fashionable material one season f the gridder’s clothes at Notre Dame. Knit Pants Not New Chicago and Harvard are experi- menting with knit pants, but they | are not new by any means.

The mem-| bers of that faith got a real kick’ out of an unusual situation that developed on the bench, as the White Sox for th third time in a game with Cleveland, filled the bases. On the first two occasions, the side was retired without scoring. Trail- ing by a run late in the game, the Sox filled the sacks for the third time. None were out at the time.| In quick succession, the next two battlers went out on pop flies. : Sitting on each side of Schalk on the bench were two players of Cath- olic faith. Glancing at both of them in despair, he said: “Boys, I don’t know the ‘Rosary,’ but if cither of you can teach it to me before the next batter is re- tired, I'll gladly say it.” xo * Hardly had Schalk spoken, when the batter sent up another lazy fly to the infield and the White Sox had lost another op- portunity to win a ball game, that was dropped by a one-run margin, ees While all the White Sox pitching staff suffered because of an utter lack of timely hitting, I doubt if any of the twirlers have been harder hit than Tommy Thomas.

Another is that you must! never go into the ring with your passions ar-used. “Anger over unsportsmanlike tac- tics resorted to by Dempsey in his open letter attack and the fact that a.dear friend of mine stood to knockout caused me to deviate some- what from my usual attack.
