THK BISMARCK TRIBUN«&, VICTIM, NOT CAUSE, ov BoaRDING HousE OF FORM REVERSAL Defeat of Irish by Southern Cal- ifornia in 1931 Was Damaging | SOUTH BEND IS WORRYING! Plausible But Unconfirmed; Stories Tell of Factions in Squad South Bend, Ind., Oct. 31—(#)—The causes of the present football depres- sion at Notre Dame are many and culmulative. The effects are wide- Spread. The cure is not yet manifest, despite the volunteer efforts of gria- iron quacks. Among the able, sincere leaders and graduates of the university who car- ried on since the death of Knute Rockne, there is not only the hope but conviction that they can ride out the storm successfully, They believe the football foundations still are in- tact. They do not propose to be stam- peded into premature action but all signs point definitely now to an ath- Jetic shakeup in 1934. Turning Point In 1931 Notre Dame's national champion- ship team was Rockne's last—the Polished scoring machine of 1930 that topped off two unbeaten seasons for the Fighting Irish. The turning point did not develop, however, until late in 1931. It came swiftly. Notre Dame went into the last quarter leading Southern California, 14-0. The final) tally was 16 to 14 in favor of the Tro- jans. A week later the Army took the shell-shocked Irish into camp. This marked the first and also the’ YKNOW WHAT TM GONNA DO, 1" KID SP-~SINCE TH’ MASOR LOOKS reg LIKE ME,WITH HIS MOUSTACHE SHAVED OFF, IM GONNA GROW ONE,SO TLL LOOK LIKE HE USED TO 9-—~VEH, TLL GET EVEN WITH HIM §-~TLL Go AROUND MAKIN® A NUISANCE OF MSELF, AN’ TH CROWS WILL FLY BACK TO ROOST ON HIM 9-~ SUPROSIN’ HE GETS IN A SAM,NOW, LOOKIN LIKE ME!

Report Squad Strife Plausible but also unconfirmed etories have circulated about factional; feeling among players themselves. It! is said the veterans resented the ballyhoo for sophomore stars on this years’ squad. At any rate the mix- ture failed to click and led to a big; shake-up in the line before the Pitts- burgh game. Whatever the causes, Notre Dame tootball today appears woefully weak in the fundamentals of blocking and tackling. As many as five quarter- hacks have been used in a single game. Yet the material seems good, 2t not better than the average. Meanwhile the barber, the taxi- driver, the merchant and the “down- town coaches’ association” of South Bend are busily viewing with alarm. Attendance for Notre Dame's home games has dwindled sharply at a time when attendance elsewhere in college] + football is showing an upward trend.

Poor Showing Before 9,328 Fans WANTS THIRD CHAMPIONSHIP! French-Canadian Says He Is Out of Class With His Added Weight | 1 Boston, Oct. 31—(P)—Lou Brouil-| {lard Tuesday found himself an ex- jchampion for the second time in his brief career. The French-Canadian youngster from Worcester was stripped of his middleweight title Monday night by Vince Dundee, the Baltimore veteran, in a tame 15-round bout at the Bos- ton garden. Two years ago Brouillard held the welterweight title two months The 9,328 spectators were amazed at Brouillard’s poor showing. He was as aggressive as ever but was never able to get going against the canny Dundee, who side-stepped most of his rushes to get into position to lash weak right to the head or poke out @ flabby left jab, blows that gave him a slight lead in eight of ten rounds. The decision was unanimous. “I gave up all hope of beating Dun- dee two days ago,” Lou said soon after he dropped his second title. “You 'know I had to take off 14 pounds. I weighed 174 when I knocked out Adolph Heuser, the light-heavyweight, a few weeks ago, and it robbed me of all my strength. I guess the light-! heavyweight division is where I belong and I'm going out to get a third title. | I have grown myself out of two of; them.” { The new champion had this to; say: “Lou is as rough and as tough and 8 game as you find them in the ring. He can’t be beaten by anyone who stands up to him or backs away straight but he is a push-over for a boxer who can sidestep, as I did.” > |.

There's always plenty of action when the maize of Michigan blends with the orange of Illinois in football struggle. The achieve- ments of Grange, Stekettee, Car- ney, Peters, Simrall, Friedman, Berry, Newman, Dunn and Oost- erbaan in those battles are some of the brightest in the Big Ten -record books and lore. In 1920 Illinois kicked the goal and won, 7 to 6. In 1921 a field goal won for Michigan 3 to 0; in 1924 68,000 fans packed the Illi- nois stadium for its dedication. The “galloping ghost,” Red Grange, galloped over for four touchdowns in 12 minutes to pro- vide one of the most thrilling chapters in football history. Ili- nois won, 39 to 14, and in 1929 Illinois won its last game from Michigan, 14 to 0. | Nebraska’s Coach | | Artful Sloganeer | aT? Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 31—()—The art of the sloganeer plays a ma- jor part in Coach D. X. Bible's successful campaigns for football championships at the University of Nebraska. Bible’s huskers have to duck their heads to go out, under glar- ing red letters such as “they shall not score” painted on the concrete exit from the locker room and, from week to week, colorful signs tell in a few words the need of improved blocking, more speed and the abilities of the opposi- tion. A sign in bold letters saying merely “1931 40-0; 1932?” stirred the scarlet gridders to high pitch before the Pitt game last fall and sent them onto the field to out- fight and gutgain the heavier opposition in a 0-0 game. Gophers Gain 1,447 Yards in 5 Games St. Paul, Oct. 31.—(#)—The re- Jentless, crushing attack of the Minnesota football team, enough for three victories and a pair of ties, has gained enough yardage to sweep from goal to goal 14% times, or a disance of 1,447 yards. And while the offense has been clicking for 67 first downs and a total score of 58 points, the de- fense has held five opponents to 702 yards by rushing and passing. Opponents have scored 29 points. ‘The Gopher totel, compiled diana, Purdue, Towa, represents 1,204 yards by end sweeps, off-tackle plays, and 243 yards by forward 5 Twenty passes have been com- pleted in 46 tries.

It fits in nicely with a running attack and has a minimum possibility of in- terception, I am told by George F. Veenker, director of athletics at the university . It is run from a “V” or punt forma- tion. The ball is snapped to the fullback, No. 3, who fakes either to the No. 2 or No, 4 back.

Today the beast has taken on weight—and once again Princeton is menacing the stern and rockbound coast. The jungle prowler has taken on new life with a new coach who came from the Big Ten last year and a flock of sophomore backs serving their first year under the new mentor—Fritz Crisler. When practice rolled around this year, Crisler found himself with some 25 backfield candidates—and only three were seasoned men, The rest were sophomores of untried value. Something radical had to be done about Princeton football which, previ- {ous to Crisler’s coming, had dropped to doleful depths. | * * * | Something radical was done! Crisler installed a new shift which was @ modification of the military shift in which the center takes his Position while the rest of the team re- mains in the huddle. At the count of ee seed aera the line and two half- e ir places two paces be- hind the center after criss-crossing coming out of the huddle into their new places in the line. Once this shift was driven home, Crisler began to develop that sopho- more backfield material. That he is an expert is shown in the way those soph backs came through for him in rolling up 105 points against Amherst, Williams, and Columbia. The standout backfield man is a Steubenville, O., kid named Garry Le Van. In that Columbia game he flashed one 55-yard dash for a touch- down, and kicked his team out of trou- oe rad) the few occasions they were in for it. But Le Van isn’t the whole works; there's Kadlic, one of the veterans, who is a fine all-round player and a heady field general; Constable, a line Plunger with plenty of power, and “Ippy” Roulon-Miller, a youngst who makes enemy lines look like a dozen eges pice aoa the sidewalk, * ‘The mainstays of that line are Capt. Arthur 8. Lane of Arlington, Mass., who was kept out of his tackle post most of last year by a broken collar bone, and Charley Ceppi, who out- ;Shone all the others in the Columbia ‘game. Playing guard on offense and tackle on defense, Ceppi isn’t content with taking care of one man. Time and again he took two or three Columbia men out of play, which, you will ad- jmit, is mighty nice for the ball car- j ter, and a Jot less labor for his line- men pals. Of course, a lot of things can hap- ben before Princeton reaches the end of its nine-game string this year. It’s hardly reasonable to expect a coach in his second year to step right out and bring home all the bacon. But Crisler has proved that he has @ surprise team at Princeton this year and, in place of being an un- derdog, the squad will rank as favor- ite in most of the games left on th schedule—which includes tough ones with Brown, Dartmouth, Navy, Rutg- ers, and Yale. = > Around the Big Ten | o—_____________4 Jack Heston joins Michigan’. squad and will be ready for Illinois . . . “i .| day they played their second make it necessary,|£° down the field as decoys, while|Beynon, Lindberg, Froschauer, and od but with two tles mating its rece game in three days and thelr |fm'onder to protect the fish life im the|™O- 2 and No. 4 protect the passer. | Cook p will oneaviieo ord, third in 10, the Gamecocks were |gheyenne, for me to issue this revok- eee ee backfield against Michigan . 4 out for @ brisk two-hour drill |ing order.” : Fr ipso sit gir car aa srde ies acces one or more touch- aaa <——--—----—® | Monday, making ready for Louisi- revoking order prohibits fish- ea} i. —P) downs in 44 consecutive games; Car- | N.
