THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D, C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1928 ter, has run the team well when given the responsibility, which is a double one at Ohio State, as there is no captain of the team. The quarterback usually is designated as the acting captain. Although Ohio State will be a decided favorite several factors enter to make the contest difficult to forecast. Prince- ton is known to have a team which has not reached its peak, and if it should suddenly scale the heights tomorrow the Buckeyes will have their hands full. Tigers Inspired by Signs. Coach Bill Roper will send his men into the game inspired by mysterious signs plastered over the Princeton field at the last practice session, reading “100 per cent,” or plain “100.” The Prince- ton coach is a student of psychology and often sends his message to his team in a crisis through the medium of a sign. Roper, -too, is in a position to “shoot the works” in this game. His next scheduled contest is with Washington and Lee, a team far weaker than an army of Generals able to tie the Tiger two years ago, and fear of weakening a later line-up tomorrow will not deter him. Three-Men-Out Grid Play Offers Variety BY SOL METZGER. No team ever perfected the three- men-out formation to & higher point of perfection than did West Virginia. For a monih its coaches battled back and forth with it until certain definite conclusions were reached. The result was a {remen- dous victory over Princeton. Wash- ington and Jeff2rson then took hold of it with a light team, and in 1916 scored twice on Yale's championship eleven. Since then among the other users of this formation have been Princeton, Union, South Carolina, Virginia, Wake Forest, Missouri and innumerable school elevens. As the formation is still in use and will be for some years, let us here explain tie little point about it that caused it to work so well, even when defensive teams changed their set of backs to stod it, as Yale did in 1916. The key to its success is the positions of N»o. 2 and 6, the three-men-out. No. 1 was on the serimmage I'n2. No. 6 was back of it 2 yards on one side of No. 1, No. 2 was back of it 3 yards on the other side of No. 1, ‘Thus, when all three of these men ran down the ield 10 yards, where No. 1 stopped and turned, No, 6 would pass close by him and run to the right, Just as No. 6 passed No. 1, with a delensive back follow- ing him, No. 2 would cut in and pass No. 1. That prevented the defensive back covering No. 2 from following him, 8s either No. 1 or No. 6 or the defensive backs covering them would legally block him out of the play. 1he ensuing pass, No. to No. 2, worked for two touch- downs versus Yale and hundreds of BY BRIAN BELL, Princeton foot ball team is as- sured of a warm reception from too cordial.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., November 2 (A)—With the Washington and Lee game scheduled for tomorrow, Coach Nealle today is giving his Virginia foot ball squad the final rounding out work- out, with emphasis on the huddle sys- tem, with which he hopes to speed up the Cavalier attack, under Sloan's di- rection, against the Generals. Defensive ‘work against Washington and Lee plays has been mainly in the form of dummy scrimmage this week, the same method being used to perfect offensive plays to be used against the Generals, LEXINGTON, Va., November 2 (#).— Washington and Lee foot ball squad are scheduled for only a light work- out today to finish off the week of practice for the annual Virginia game tomorrow. This workout will see the finishing touches of an apparently de- ceptive offensive attack which the Gen- erais probably will use in effort to de~ feat the Cavaliers. A stiff practice Session yesterday aft- ernoon kept the squad busy until a late hour. For the first time of the week the regular line-up, except ends, was in- tact throughout the drills.

Badgers Strengthened to Re- pulse Alabama—Penn Is Choice Over Chicago. BY PAUL R. MICKELSON, Associated Press Bports Writer. HICAGO, November 2—Win or lose, Michigan backs its foot ball team. Although the Wolverinese have lost four straight games— the worst foot ball record in Michigan’s history—more than 85,000 spectators will watch their attempted comeback tomorrow when they clash with Ilinois at_Ann Arbor. Hope for. such a comeback was at a high pitch both among the students, the team and the coaches today. Michigan's showing against Wisconsin last week, when they held the Badgers until the last two minutes of play, and Illinois’ difficulty in turning back Northwestern, started it all, and interest probably was keener than ever before. Coach Zuppke sensed the optimism and determination, taking with him al- most every available man he could rely on to make yardage and open a hole through the rapidly improving Michi- gan line. Zuppke Respects Michigan. “It is going to be a big fight,” Zuppke said as he left Champaign last night. “We will be forced to the limit. Don't let_any one fool you. Michigan has a trice better team than it had two weeks ago.” ‘The Michigan team, too, was in its|of best shape of the season, with only Del Whittle, halfback flash, out of the line- up because of injuries.

A snappy drill on offensive blocking and tackling completed the Buckeyes drill yesterday and every player was in good shape except Leo Raskowski, veteran tackle, and even he is expected to get into the game if the going is tough.

Chicago’s chance to defeat Pennsyl- vania became darker yestérday when Glenn Heywood, fullback, injured his ankle.
