D., Oct. 11.—(P)}— For 29 years Joe Cutting, Williston grid mentor, has been diagnosing the ills of football, all because he gave up a medical career at the University cf Minnesota in 1905 to run @ sports clinic. Cutting, known as dean of North Dakota football, is opening his 20th year as leader of the Coyote pack and as the oldest active football coach i. the state. Today Joe is a Willis- ton druggist, who on fall afternoons writes prescriptions for a husky bunch of Coyote gridsters, who during the past two decades have made major teams in the state tread lightly in their territory. Joe dropped off a train one May morning in 1910 to sign with the local baseball club. He had $20, two bat- tered baseball bats, a glove and a big smile. He was @ second baseman of of the toughest of the day, as both teams will be making new starts fol- lowing somewhat surprising defeats last week. A year ago, Kizer's version of the late Knute Rockne's system, triumphed over Notre Dame, under Heartly (Hunk) Anderson, 19 to 0, Earlier this season the Boilermakers probably would have been expected to repeat. However, Purdue's great back, Duane Purvis, and his running mate, Jim Carter, have been out of action with injuries, which had a lot to do with a 14 to 0 defeat by Rice's strong eleven Saturday. Although not in the best. of shape, both probably will be ready to start Saturday. Notre Dame, playing its first game of the season, fell before a Texas team, but did not look bad in losing. Layden has worked his squad on blocking and tackling without mercy this week, and admits they will be im- proved, Last week's defeats failed to dis- courage the fans, and a crowd of 40,- ‘900 or more is the outlook. Activity in the other Big Ten camps, with the exception of Minnesotea, had eased off Thursday.

Willis- ton went to the top of the state grid league in 1919 and 1920. Cutting’s teams always have been a threat and at times went through the season undefeated. Student of Doc Williams A student of Old Doc Williams, Minnesota's greatest—the father of the Minnesota shift—the Williston mentor drilled the Gopher principles: into his pack. Hig record in the Gopher camp in 1904 and ‘05 made him on of his alma mater’s greatest halfbalks. Today Cutting doesn't believe in a system. “Great elevens may have a system,” he declared, “but the best system is 11 good men and coaches Will all agree. An outlined system won't work every season because a squad changes.” The Williston coach is not a train- ing driver. He tells his men what they should do and what they should not do.

MARY’S BATTLES DEMON RESERVES FRIDAY AFTERNOON UNBALANCED MCMILLIN'S Here is how Bo McMillin’s new lineup at Indiana University compares with the Notre Dame unbalanced line. Bo lists an extra fullback in his lineup to the referee, omitting one lineman—in this case an end. Just before the ball is snapped, the extra man in the backfield—it can be any one of the five—fills in the end position. The strategy of the formation is to confuse opposing linemen as to just which back will fill in the line and which will BO McMILLIN, INDIANA COACH, EXPLAINS FIVE-MAN BACKFIELD ling is said anywhere in the rules about the ends; Take Your Choice “With this interpretation, it doesn’t matter whether the five men who stay in the line all the time are plac- ed as in the balanced line, the un- jbalanced line, or the Bo McMillin line and the Warner unbalanced System Not New to Big Ten Conference; Displayed Twice Before at Purdue Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 11—When Bo McMillin was one of the Prayin’ line Kunnels of old Centre College, suh, he became known as quite an original individual when he took his band of warriors east and soundly drubbed staid old Harvard. | - Bo still is an original individual— so much so that while the rest of the football squads in the country are la- boring with the ancient Notre Dame balanced line or the Warner unbal- anced line, his Indiana team, with its new five-man backfield, is getting itself into official harangues, big in newspapers, and attracting more attention than The Citadel will if it defeats Army this year. le. “Neither does it make any differ- ence whether you identify your men by the way they line up on defense, which I have done, as long as five of these men comply with the rules of sticking in the line all the time Bo points out the advantage of his system is that any one of the three men in the front of his backfield lineup can shift into the line at the signal, and that this keeps the oppos- ing line guessing as to just who this 2 will be, and who will carry the 1 ‘The system is not new to McMillin ‘You didn’t hear a lot about McMil-|and his teams.
