& SPORTS. FOUR OF EAST’S LEADERS MUST SHOW Princeton, Cornell, Army and Dartmouth Facin, M:;jor Opposition on THEIR HANDS o o Day in Which Stellar Battles Are Carded in All Sections. YORK, October 22.—The last of the I ast's foot ball's ““unknowns” will be out in the open by nightfall. with their capabilities fully analyzed and officially recorded. Such teams as Princeton, Cornell, Army and Dart- mouth. hitherto untested, are on the firing line today against major oppo- sition. After a lull of 20 years. during which they did not meet on the grid- iron, Princeton and Gilmore Dobit big Red team of Cornell start anew their foot ball relationship on the banks of old Caguga. Both teams are undefeated, but Princeton’s record ap pears to be a little more impressive Cornell has an unseasoned line. and | upon the ability of those forwards to |*: stand the Tiger charge rests a whole lot of the team’s chances for victory. The game at Ithaca has been rough regarded as a test hetween the tackle-smashing tactics of Dobie and the versatile running and open style of Bill Roper. Events may make it | wotherw] and either or both teams may have surprises in store. The Yale-Army fixture has a 30 year-old background and this year's contest seems to be worthy of the tr dition. Yale has becn unable to for- et the 33—0 beating took from the Army Mule last year. The teams ap pear to be about evenly matched to day. Yule looked for much from ce Caldwell and the cadets ex- pected equally as much from Capt Harry Wilson, playing his sixth and last year on college gridiron Harvard Has Improved. Most eritics ave of the opinion that Harvard has improved greatly since the defeat by purdue a short two ‘weeks ago, and they looked for the Crimson to give a good account of itself against Dartmouth. Jesse Haw- ley’s Hanover lads, like the Army out- fit, are undeafeated, but it takes to- day’s game to answer the question whether previous scores meant very much, The annual clash between Wash- ington and Jefferson and Lafayette brings two undefeated teams together at Easton, Pa. Lafayette received a surprise from West Virginia last ‘week. being held to a 7-7 tie, and as Pittsburgh had trounced the Moun- taineers by a 40-0 count, Lafayette lost some of its prestige. The suprem- acy of Allegheny County was staked on the meeting between Pittsburgh and Carnegle Tech. Pitt's Panthers are anxious to maintain a perfect record and keep in the running as one of the strongest teams in the East. 2 Penn State hoped to break the jinx that has prevented it from crossing the goal line of undefeated Syracuse. Among other games in the East are New York University' vs. Rutgers: Williame vs. Columbia, Navy vs. Duke, Colgate vs. Wabash, West Vir. ginia Wesleyan vs. Boston College, West Virginla vs. Georgetown and Holy Cross vs. Catholic University. CHICAGO, October 22.—One of the Big Ten's two All-America hold- overs, Capt. Herb Joesting of Min- nesota, has gone to_the hospital with an infected foot, so the “‘under dogs of _tradition were unanimously the favorites in today's Western Confer- ence foot ball matches. Even Chicago, facing Pennsylvania on the home gridiron with a 30-year record of defeats by the Quakers, was conceded a good chance to break the monotonous string of Penn victories, but the dope faltered and broke down when the Notre Dame-Indiana contest was considered. Except for these two battles, which do not affect conference ratings, the prospects of an upset were very bright for each of the teams which confronts an_opponent long victorious. "The loss of Joesting, whose foot was lanced to open up a bad wound, was & heavy blow to the Minnesota ma- chine. He was counted on to shatter the Towa sophomore line and make it possible for the other hacks to sift through to a complete victory. Jinx for Michigan. A stadium dedication, usually the defeat, was the ichigan jinx today, and it was :ckeg-by jnn Ohio team which has everything to gain and nothing to Jose. Coach Wilce switched his back- field to depend upon speed, and Coach ‘Weiman of Michigan effected some changes himself in the eleven swhich defeated Wisconsin a week ago. Much will depend upon the toe of Louls Gilbert, Michigan halfback. INinois and Northwestern had prac- tically the same line-up as a week sgo for their struggle. The Illini until today had met no conference foe this year. The upset prospects extended also to the Purdue-Wisconsin affair, though each has been defeated. Bad breaks figured in their downfalls last Satur- day, but the best team Purdue has sent out in many years was out to put over its first victory against the Badgers in 35 years. The “pony backs” of Wisconsin were up against a veteran line, and “Pest” Welch of Purdue, who =hone agalnst Harvard and failed against Chicago. Five capacity crowds were assured | in the conference were expected at Michigan. 50,000 each at Chicago and Northwestern, 50,000 more at Minnesota, 25,000 to 30,000 at Indiana, and about 30,000 ot Wisconsin. Real Indian Summer weather p vailed generally over Westeen Con- ference territory, and the extra seat- ing capacity at Michigan will make possible a new conference record for one day's attendance of nearly 300, 000 spectators.

The meeting at Stagg Field was the concluding game of a three-year ment, with Chicago’s hopes the hig they have been in many yea Quakers won last year at Franklin Field, 28-0. The year before the final score was 70, with Pennsylvania in front. A new wrinkle in Western Confer- ence foot ball history was to be in- augurated, with Assistant Coach Ber Bell taking his position in the “crow’s of the press box, flanked by a telautograph connected with the Penn- vivania players’ bench. The arrange- ment atforded him a chance to watch the play and communicate comments and_suggestions to Coach Lou Younz. While the two teams had a scouting agreement, Coach Stagg in- vited the Penn conching staff to view several plays during the final pract vesterday. Chicago has a wealth of good back- field material. There also was the dded advantage of having 10 men who played against Pennsylvania last season, The visitors breught an eleven crip- Paul Schull and Marty Brill, half- backs.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., October (®).—The Michigan foot ball team, with its real power as yet untested, meets a grim and determined Ohio ftate aggregation today in a contest that officially dedicates the new Michigan Athletic Stadium. Smarting under defeat last week by Northwestern, which practically elim- inated them from the Big-Ten title race, the Buckeyes were prepared to throw their every resource into the game to conquer a foe that has hum- bled them in 18 out of 23 games. In the 23 years of athletic relation he- tween the two schools, two of their games have ended in ties. Ohio has won only in 1919, 1920 and 1921, the ears when Chick Harley, all-Amer- ican halfback, whose deceptive Lroken field running buffaloed the best of de- fenses, led the Buckeye scoring ma- chine. Ohio has no Chick Harley this year, but in his stead has a hard-driving backfleld, composed of Eby, Marek, Oshner and Grim. Prior to today’s game, Michigan was considered more or less of an un- known quantity. Bennie Friedman and his great passing are missing this vear, but Coach Tad Weiman has de- veloped a great halfback in Louie Gil- bert, who is' expected to carry the brunt of the offense. The forward wal, which has not heen pierced for a touchdown thus far this season, includes Bennfe Ooster. baan, all-American end, at one flank; Nylund at the other and at least one other powerful lineman in Baer to support Bovard, a sophomore center. Weiman as yet has not been forced to reveal any of his choice plays, and Bennie Oosterbaan has been kept to the background as a threat. Preparations were made to handle a crowd of 86,000 in the huge new bowl, or 38,000 more than have ever: wit. nessed a contest here, ‘The line-up: Michigan.

One of the most dramatic matches ever played in British goif was the semi-final between Sweet- ser and Brownlow in the British Amateur last year which cariied three extra holes before Jess won.

The or 1 American Lugby rules required only one man to he on the line of mmage when the ball was snapped. This resulted in the forma- tion of the flying wedge, a_V-shaped formation.

Some shift in the huddle, a practice that Michigan has used since the introduce tion of that system of signal calling. In these shifts there Is no attempt at a forward movement, just a different distribution of the personnel to get the best use of the abilities of differ- ent players. The generally discussed shift as originated by Dr. H. L. Willilams of Minnesota, where a group shifts and is supposed to stop, is the one that been the center of public discus- sion for the t several years, and it is this shift which occasioned changes of the rules during the past year. Following out the fundamentals of the game as evolved in 1894, the rules committee has attempted to stop all possibility of a “running start” by di- rvecting the officials to count “one, two, three, four,” after a shift or huddle hefore the ball is put in play. Has Become Standardized. In spite of all this discussion of shifts and other styles of play, foot ball has become as fundamental in its general scheme of attack as base ball. Line play especially, including the end positions. has become similar hoth on offense and defe! There remains, however, quite a difference in_the disposition of the backs. Ninety per cent of the teams in the United States use what is known as the “Z" formation, with a man shifted in the line and the backs at one side.

Tech Lives Up to Expectations In Routing Eastern Team, 27-0 OLLOWERS of public high school foot ball eagerly awaiting the Business-Central game in Wilson Stadlum Tuesday at 3:15 o'clock. The Blue and White is expected to prove Tech's stoutest opponent for the title, and fans want to see how Coach Mike Kelley's prote- ges shape up under fire. There is no question as to Tech's strength. Hap Hardell's proteges, in routing Eastern yesterday, 27 to 0, showed a punch and justified those who have been picking them as the favorites to gain the crown. Exhibiting an excellent running at. tack, a passing game, which, while far from finished, likely will prove exceedingly troublesome to opponents before the series is over, and a stal- wart defense, the Manual Trainers held the whip hand over the Lincoln Parkers from the start. Guyon’s hope- fuls put up a scrappy defensive game, aml Capt. Holland show- but showed little on at- Howard Florence was the most con- spicuous star for Tech. 1In the first period he intercepted a forward pass from Dawson to Holland, and, flanked by fine interference, dashed 75 yards ound right end for a touchdown, Capt, Arthur Kriemelmeyer added the extra point on a place kick. ~Florence also had a promivent role in scoring After he had made an 18-yard run, Mills tossed a pass .to Edeiblut over the goal line for the score. Kriemel- mever failed to kick the goal. Chester Mills, slim quarterback, also was a vital factor in bringing vie- tory to Tech. Aside from throwing the 25-vard tonchdown-producing pass to Bdelblut in the second period, he got off to a brilllant 50-yard dash for a touchdown in the fourth period. Capt. Kriemelmeyer kicked the goal. It was Kriemelmeyer who ecrashed through for Tech's final marker near the end of the game, going over after a succession of line thrusts.
