FEastern Grid Lead at Stake at Hanover : Attractive Games on Mid-West Card FAST DARTMOUTH TEAM Big Green Rules a 2-to-1 Favorite Over Dobie’s Eleven—Harvard at Princeton for Annual Fray—Three Intersectional Tilts. foot ball r, N. H, By the Associated Press HE mythical Eastern championship, in the view of many T followers, depends on the outcome of a game at Hanovs today. The teams are Dartmouth, the home eleven, and Cornell, the jugger- naut of gloomy Gil Dobie. They aré among the highest scoring teams of the country and have won ail their games. Dartmouth ruled a favorite at 2 to 1. It has a brilliant backfield and fine. For two seasons it has gone along without a reverse. Cornell, caught under the big Green avalanche a year ago, 27-14, was one of the few victims to score against Dartmouth. The annual struggle of Princeton and Harvard at Princeton is the first of the vear's classics involving Har- vard, Princeton and Yale.

WITHAM. | Foot Ball Coach, University of Chicago. | BOULDER, Colo., November |'Although the present season is turn- ing up fewer fle games than in | years—perhaps fewer than in the his- | al | tory | of modern foot ball—still change is needed in the scoring sys- tem In order to make deadlocked con- tests more nearly impossible. Tie games are unsatisfactory to all concerned, and there acknowledged desire to eliminate them. How troublesome they. are .is shown particularly in the case of Wis- consin and Minnesota, who have gone three consecutive years without either { team winning. This outstanding es the need for supplemen- . S0 that a decisive outcome Chicago virtue of three ties and no defeats, was given an indecisive champlonship title in the Big Ten. While percentage plans have been of- fered which would determine a more | equitable standing in canference title races, these do not solve the problems !of tie games hetween two contestants. Tq consider a game additional to thos? on the set schedule, in the event of a tie, or an additional period to be |added to the present four, manifestly would not insure a_decisive outcome. But to evaluate the ore following 4 touchdown by scoring one point for 2 kicked goal and two points for the successful tally via the forward pass or carrving play, would in many cases accomplish the desired purpose. The line of scrimmage for such a score after a touchdown might be advanced a_yard nearer the goal to encourage the running attack for the possible two points, if they proved necessary. Another possible solution, in the event of tie under existing rules, poin can always be counted on. in 1924, by the basis of first downs made during the game. In the gvent of a tie and an equal number of first downs, the final result could be determined by the scoring of the total vardage gained from scrimmage. This would consti- tute the deciding factor in the final score While the foot ball rules committee is rightly cautious in amending the present code, the writer believes they would welcome a thorough discussion of ways to reduce the number of tie contests to a_minimum if not entirely | eliminating them WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER: DELINE ALEXANDER team of Central High A Doren for the school title Miss Alexander has tantly to reach the fi Kay Johnson, former pion, in the third round day defeating Helen Louise Duckett n the semi-finals after a hard-fought three-set encounter.

Bryan has not yet been defeated * Blow defeated Benning, 40 to 26, in the Rosedale division: Woodburn tri- umphed over Gage, 22 to 10; West blanked Hubbard, 16 to 0, in section A of the Columbia Heights division; Morgan took the measure of Cooke, 20 to 3, in section B of that division, and Addison defeated Jackson, 14 to 9, on the Georgetown field. This latter kame, refereed by Abbie Green, di- rector of Georgetown field, was one of the best of the day and should have been classed with the other two close- Iv contested battles. Splendid team- work and fast action featured the play of both teams. Evelyn Hebb, Addison forward, played exceptionally well, netting most of the baskets for her team. Georgetown and Dennison play- ground teams clashed vesterday in a free-lance challenge game, which the former won, 27 to 11. This score does not count in the titular interplay- round serles, but it is one of those fittle straws which show which way the wind blows in the western divi- sion, where Georgetown is rated as one of the Afrongest contenders for the city crown. i A Pl’p dod._o‘_ ™ ball & e st 3 member of the 1925 at 4—6 | and | doubles’ championship chool. was schedu'ed to meet Eleanor Van | tain was sent in for the final of the singles tourney now in progress |just before the final whistle. | the Virginia avenue team today at 2| | p.m. on the Virginia avenue court JEFFERSON SOCCERISTS TIE FOR LEAGUE LEA Jefferson Junior High School cerists went into a tie with Hine for {first place in the league by nosing lout Macfas d. | to 0, yesterday at |Columbla Field. | The Macfarland hooters held | upper hand during most of the fray, " |but failed to stop a well-directed kick |that netted the winners their goal ¢in_the last few minutes of play.

But it occu; to me that this is largely accounted for by the fact that no fisherman wants to be given credit for vanquishing a dumbell! The same applies to ducks and geese.

Taking Lineman's Stance. NOT THIS Note the position of the player in the first illustration His legs are well under him and potnted stralght ahead. Particularly notice the position of his feet. They are all set to drive him forward. The lineman in the second illustration has assumed a different position His feet are turned out That is a weak position for a lineman to take. He hasn't the necessary driving power in his legs it he turns his feet out as here ple- tured. All runners and broad jumpers and foot ball players either Digeon-toe a trifle or keep the feet on a straight line with the direc- tion they are going to take. They have more strength In their legs when they do this. The best way to prove this is to try a stand ing broad jump, with the feet point- ed ahead and another with them turned out. You will find you have very little strength and can jump but a short distance when in the latter position. . 856 BASES IN CAREER BY JOHN B.

N as a freshman. O brass band turned out at the railroad station to welcome “Red” Grange when he arrived to enter the huge University of Illinois He had been a whale in a small-town high school, but most of the big city-and suburban luminaries so overshadowed him that he was not conspicuous. . was not known over the State. With all his ability in foot ball, basket ball and track he There was behind him no Andover or Exeter or Oak Park or Hyde Park to carry his name out on the pathway of national fame. He was merely a smalltown high achool athletic star in a big university. Nobody appreclated the fact more thoroughly than did Red. “When I looked from the gym- nasium window and saw about 200 freshmen out there in foot ball sults, I thought I wouldn't go out for the sport, for it looked as If I'd just be in the way,” he said, in telling of his first impressions. “'All the boys from the big high schools were there and I'd read about them during my own high school days and knew how good they were. But George Dawson told me to go out and give foot ball prac- tice a try. So I went out.” Shoes Hurt His Feet. He landed on the seventh team. He was not even sure of holding a regu- lar job there. Some days later Daw- son looked him up and wondered what the trouble was. After much talking it was brought to Jight that Red's foot ball shoes hurt his feet. He was too bashful to tell the coaches about it. With those shoes it was impossible for him to play much of a symphony on the organ of foot ball. He appeared the next afternoon with a new pair of light-weight backfield shoes. That day in a scrimmage with the sixth freshman eleven he struck the first note of what caused foot ball experts at Illinols to pause and look thoughtfully into space. He has been the cause of their doing just that ever since. Superiority over the de- fense! To foot ball men that means vastly more than to learn the way to_make gold from mud. Red was given the bail that after- noon on the seventh fréshman team and started toward the end. The same piling up of men in front took place that had occurred in high school and he made for the old favorite side line after swerving to avold the heap. Once arrived there he outran the fleld and made a touchdown. Twice again that afternoon he did the same thing. He was moved up to the third freshman eleven the next day and scrimmaged against the “big” yearling team. v ‘The same thing happened that day. Then Burt Ingwerson, the freshman coach, asked Zuppke to bring on his varsity. With Cook, Baker, Britton and the peculiarly gaited Grange in his backfleld, Ingwerson felt reasona- bly sure of giving Zuppke a surprise. It turned out as he had expected. Grange ran as well against the varsity as he had run against the other teams. In short order the glad news spread over the campus that in addition to the well known stars on the fresh- man outfit there was a unique player who ran like a deer, carried the ball like a basket of eggs and made a Jjoke of this most serious contest. His name was Red Grange and he had been a star on a little high school team near Chicago. Zuppke contributed some valuable suggestions about pivoting and cuf ting back against the stream of tacklers. “It took the coaches some time to break me of my habit of running for the sideline and hugging it down the fleld, but the beginnings were made,” said Grange. “I found that it was a good trick to vary the way of running so that the opponent would not know exactly what to do every time I ran. Nine times out of ten if a runner will reverse his field he will meet the secondary com- ing full tilt for him and, as the slant is in favor of the ball carrier, he can dodge to advantage.
