ROPER, Princeton Foot Ball Coach. ball. While often teams with a | sibilities than others. I believe the double-wing back HAVE repeatedly been asked the strongest form of attack in foot weaker basic attack are successful over teams with a better devised style of offense because of the manner in which the weaker attack is executed, there is no doubt | that, other things being equal, certain kinds of attack have more pos- style of offense, other things being equal, is the strongest form of attack. This style of offense was de- vised by Glenn Warner. who has made several valuable contributions to offensive foot ball. I believe the double-wing attack is much su- perior to the single-wing back offense. There are two forms of double- wing back offense. In discussing this style of attack it is important to understand the difference be- tween them. The diagrams here show the different | ways the double wing back offense is used: 1. 00 (x) 0000 0 0 o In Diagram 1 the offense ends play tight to the tackles, while the wing backs_are wide. In Diagram 2 the wing backs are in- side the ends, who play loose. Spreads the Defense. T much prefer the offense shown in diagram 1, with the wing backs loose and the ends in close. This gives a tight line from end to end and it is much more difficult for any defensive player to sift through. Where the wing backs play outside the ends they should play at least a yard wide. . So many teams make the mistake of play- ing the wing backs just a trifle outside the tackles. % ‘The great strength of the double wing back style of attack is that it spreads the defense. Most of the effectiveness of the attack is lost if the wing backs do not play wide, If they play close to the tackle the defense does not have to play as wide. - ‘Where the wing backs play inside the ends the line does not have to spread as much, The defensive tackles can play opposite the ends with no fear of being flanked, as the wing backs are inside of them, but with the wing backs outside the ends the tackles are always afraid of being flanked. This is the real strength of the double wing-back sys- tem with the tackles constantly in fear of a flank attack! The inside is weak- ened, while the wing backs are in a splendid position to charge the tackles in, unless they play extremely wide And if they do they lose all chance of taking care of inside plays. Hurt Tigers in 1926. In 1926 we made this mistake against the Navy. The Princeton tackles played very wide, fearful of a flank attack. As a result the Navy backs literally tore through inside, between guard and tackle. With the tackles wide the Navy backs were able to concentrate on the Princeton guards. I think it is generally conceded an unbalanced line is much stronger than 8 balanced line, though Rockne at Notre Dame uses the balanced line very suc- cessfully. ‘The single wing back attack is really used_more than the double wing back, but I do not think it is as strong. The single wing back offense can hit on only one side with much degree of suc- cess, and as a result the defense can concentrate against the strong side. With the defense concentrated on the strong side the advantage of the single wing back system is lost. ‘The diagram following shows the single wing back attack and the defense. It can be readily seen that with the defensive guard and tackle in proper gfllllfln there is little chance of gain- g on the strong side, while it takes too l:t:. for the offense to attack the weak . Week Side Play Poor. ‘This is the real weakness of the sin- gle wing-back system of offense. It is ;r;\posslble to devise a good weak side ay. 0 0 o 0 x) 0 0 x) 0 0 0 [J 0 0 o o L 0 As shown by the diagram the de- fensive tackle on the strong side is playing opposite the No. 1 or wing back. He ‘should play opposite the wing back unless he plays out very far or in very close. The defensive guard plays so that he cannot be driven in by the of- fensive tackle. The offensive end is in & quandry. If he goes on the guard the tackle will surely get through, while if he helps on the tackle the guard can literally walk through on all outside plays and is still in position to stop plays on the inside. One can see how hard it is from the position of the of- fensive backs to attack on the weak side. As a result the weak side de- fensive tackle can play just off the of- (ex;snve end—physically in and mentally out. Take the double wing back system with & wing back on each side. It is ssible to attack either side. Both les are vulnerable. There is no short side as far as the attack is con- cerned, while the center of the line is weak if the tackles don’t play close, and 1f they don’t play wide flank plays will g0. The flank play is the really strong one. Under equal conditions it 1s easier to gain outside than inside every time.

Marsters’ College Grid Career Ended by Injury By the Associated Press. HANOVER, N. H., November 6.— Al Marsters, star Dartmouth back, lay on a hospital cot here today, his college foot ball career a thing of the past. He received a fractured vertebrae Saturday in the Yale game. As described by Dr. John 8. F. Gile, Marsters sustained a fracture of the right transverse process at the third and fourth lumbar verte- brae. Dr. Gile said that the injury would have no permanent effect on the player, but it will keep him either in the infirmary or on side- lines while his tes plays Brown, Cornell and the Navy. The doctor said he was resting comfortably and would be allowed to resume his classroom work soon. This is the star's senior year. ‘Two years ago Marsters flashed on the gridiron horizon as a half- back. A big year was looked for- ward to for 1928, but an ankle in- jury kept him below par. This year Marsters was the basis of the entire Dartmouth attack. He was shifted to quarterback. In the six games Dartmouth has played this year, “Special Delivery” Al had scored 108 points. His per- formances against Yale and Har- vard were especially brilliant. He was one of the outstanding broken fleld runners, a great forward passer and a good punter. PLAN OF FOSTERING ATHLETICS SOUGHT ‘To consider ways and means of de- veloping athletic activities at the Bur- roughs Recreation Center, Eighteenth and Otis streets northwest, Willlam A. Horn, athletic chairman of the Bur- roughs Citizens’ Association, has called & meeting of represenlative citizens for Friday night at 8 o'clock at the Lome of W. E. Rabannorst, 1801 Kearney street northeast.

BY WILLIAM J. CHIPMAN, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 6.—Once more foot ball approaches the old Harvard-Princeton Satur- day with a great gap in the Eastern schedule, more ap- parent because of Harvard's jaunt out of this sector to meet Michigan at Ann Arbor in intersectional strife. The Army, which entertained Notre Dame at the Yankee Stadium on this date last season, will be found at Cham- paign, arrayed against an Illinois eleven in a game for which the Illini have been pointed all season. ‘The strictly Eastern program offers the greatest chance of drama at Provi- dence, where a Dartmouth eleven mourning the loss of Alton K. Mars- ters for the season will struggle with Brown in the game which is to end relations between the two institutions for two years at the least. With Mars- ters in a Hanover hospital, the Big Green team is not the cinch it ap- peared to be before losing to Yale. Even though Bill Roper refuses to take his game with Lehigh as a train- ing gesture, and with some reason, he gave the Princeton varsity a second day of rest yesterday, with the promise of scrimmage today. Every Princeton move from now to the finish will be made with the Yale game in view, re- ardless of the outcome of the Lehigh ray. Yale has a much easier assign- ment this week in Maryland, although the Southern eleven turned back the Elis last year by 6 to 0. Stopped short on West Virginia's half-yard line at the Polo Grounds yesterday, just when it seemed that a Ford- ham moves into Boston on Satur- day in a bid for the champlonship of the Catholic college big three of the East. ' Major Cavanaugh already has the scalp of Holy Cross flying from his belt and needs only this decision in the Boston game to step into the title. With the failure of Fordham to de- velop a scoring punch against West Virginia in something like eight chances near the Mountaineer goal, considerable doubt has grown up regarding the Maroons’ chances against Boston. West Virginia has no let up, meeting the strong Detroit eleven at Morgan- town on Saturday with only four days of rest. Detroit has not lost in its last 20 engagements, and is favored over the Mountaineers. ‘Two important engagements will be fought in New York on Saturday, Co- lumbia giving Colgate its first sectional test and New York University lining up against Georgia, conqueror of Yale. Co- lumbia will do well to hold Andy Kerr's big Maroon eleven in check. Geol is favored over the not-so-violent Violets Cornell apparently has something of a breather in the Western Reserve game at Ithaca, but these days one never can tell until the final scores are posted. A most even game should be seen at Franklin Field, where two comeback attempts will crash head on as Penn- sylvania meets Penn State. ,‘Both have recovered from early rought spots, Pennsylvania with a fine victory over the Navy and Penn State ‘with a triumph at the expense of Syra- guse;- and neither seems to have any advantage in the coming fray. The Navy will have a chance to re- cover at the expense of Georgetown— ~d class to represent the Burroughs Recreation Center. AN two birdies be bagged on one hole of a golf course? ‘They can, and just to prove that it could be done, E. B. ‘Wagner, one of the Indian Spring enthusiasts, did it. The seventh hole at Indian Spring is 450 yards long, and while it is marked on the score card as a par 5 affair, it isn't a particularly difficult 4. It has been done in 3 strokes several times, and once George Voigt made it in 2, holing an iron shot from the fairway. Wagner was playing with Dr. Walter B. Vogel, otherwise known as the “iron master” of Indian Spring, and Wagner hit a screaming tee shot from behind the lake, far oUt toward the middle of the fairway. It so happened that just at that moment a sparrow chose 10 cross the fairway from an adjoining fleld. His path and that of the ball converged, and Mr. Sparrow Wwas knocked for as complete a loop as any bird ever was knocked. Strangely enough, the ball, after hitting the bird and tumbling the fiyer down in a heap on the fairway, kept right on going and ended more than 200 yards up the fairway. Wagner then hit a second shot to the near edge of the green, laid a chip shot within 8 feet of the hole and canned the putt for a birdie 4 on the hole. So there you are. Two birdies can and have been made by one player on the same hole. ‘That seventh hole at Indian Spring has seen some odd occurrences. We never shall forget the time we watched Tommy Armour playing in a syndicate game with Leo Diegel, FPred McLeod and Sandy Armour. Tommy hit a fine tee shot which would enable him to get home in two. Never having played the course before he aimed for the at the fourth green, which was in line with that of the seventh green, and half missed and badly hooked the shot. ‘The ball ended on the seventh green within four feet of the pin and Tommy sank the putt for an eagle 3 which won the hole and quite a piece of change. Even Tommy had to laugh about the shot, for he admitted hav- ing missed it badly and was far more surprised than any one else when it ended near the hole. Mrs. Frank R. Keefer and Mrs. John N. Hodges are to play at the Army, | Navy and Marine Corps Country Club tomorrow for the champlonship of the | club. The match will be an 18-hole affair, D. D. L. McGrew and W. G.

Now that the Tech-Western foot ball game is out of the way it may be that Tommy Webb of Western will have time to practice golf. Tommy has been so_busy practicing and playing foot ball for Western that he has been off the golf course for two months. Mean- while he and his father, Dr. T. D. ‘Webb, have won their way to the final round in the Father and Son tourney at the Washington Golf and Country Club, where they are scheduled to op- pose the Roesch family combination of C. H. and Frank R. Roesch. The Roesch combination won the tourney last year, but are by no means certain to beat the Webbs in the final round, for the elder Webb is as steady as the Emverbm clock, and Tommy has a abit of getting somewhere between two and five birdies each round of golf he plays. - The youngster, who is a line- man at Western, is deadly with a spade mashie. i WOLVERINES TOIL.

WIS K G _STAR, WASHINGTO 30,000 70 WATCH GAMES IN BIG TEN Harvard, Army, Mississippi Invade Midwest Fields Next Saturday. BY PAUL MICKELSON. Astociated Press Sports Writer, HICAGO, November 6.—Magnet- ized by & trinity of colorful in- tersectional struggles—Harvard at Michigan, Army at Illinois and Mississippl at Purdue—close to 300,000 fans are expected to jam Big Ten stadiums Saturday on the confer- ence's red-letter days. Nine Conference teams will play on six battlefornts, be- fore the largest total audience in Big Ten history. The most enormous throng of the day will watch Harvard make its first Mid- dle Western invasion against the Wol- verines at Ann Arbor. Between 87,000 and 90,000 spectators, depending on the weather, are anticipated for that battle. The Army's invasion of Tlinols will attract a sell-out crowd of 6&000, while 50,000 seem certain of viewing the Northwestern-Ohio State duel at Co- lumbus. Chicago's vietorious stand against Princeton last week has spurred the demand for ducats for the Wisconsin game so that 40,000 are expected. The Iowa-Minnesota game at Iowa City, the most_important of the day from the standpoint of the Conference champlon- ship race, iooks for 30,000, while 20,000 is the attendance figure set for the Mississippi-Purdue game. Michigan To Be Ready. Michigan has failed to win a Con- ference game so far this season, but will have its strongest line-up in the field for the first time in several weeks when it tackles Harvard. Alvin Dah- lem, the fleetest ball toter on the Wol- verines’ squad, and Ducky Simrall, safe- ty man and punter, returned to the backfield last night after a long rest because of injuries, while Al Steinke, his injury completely healed, was back at his old post at right guard. The Maize and Blue may resort to an open running and passing game for the crim- son. Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois was seeking a plunger for the Army strug- gle. Lack of sustained line attack has been bothering the Illini most of the season. Fritz Humbert, one of the best line smashers to wear the Orange and Blue, has almost recovered from his in- juries, but it is doubtful whether he will start against the Cadets. Minnesota’s hopes of chasing the Towa jinx and winning the Big Ten crown was dimmed with the revelation that its star fullback, Bronko Nagurski, had broken the thumb of his left hand in the Indiana game. The “Nig Nag" e ts to play, however, although his effectiveness may be handicapped. Yowa Looks for Win. Towa, too, had a regular on the in- jured list—its veteran end, Mastrogany, who has a bad ankle. The Hawks were impressive last season in stopping Minnesota line formations and see an opportunity of spoiling Gopher cham- plonship hopes for the second successive year. Because of the heft of Mississippi's forward wall, Purdue may revert to a passing and open field attack against the Southerners, The regular boiler- maker backs, Welch, Yunevich, Harm- eson and White, were given a rest last night while Coach Jimmie Phelan drilled the line and reserves. Sammy Behr has encouraged Wis- consin by returning to his quarterback position after a week's absence because of injuries while Bill Lusby, Badger punter, may get into the Chicago game, too. Chicago, meanwhile, is de- veloping’ an_aerial attack upon advice of scouts who reported the prowess of the Badger forward wall against Purdue and the team's weakness against the overhead attack. Having virtually ended Illinols' two- year champlonship reign, Northwestern was busy preparing for Ohio State. Bill Griffin, a light, but fleet ball carrier, may be in the backfield for the Wild- cats, who will seek to push Ohio State gub of the championship chase Satur- ay. NORTHERN PREPS BOOKED.

Peace and content —mellowed by a genial glass all ’round. Marvelous straight or in recipe drinks. Navy Pass Attack Executed Smoothly Of all the teams I have seen this season, Bill Ingram’s Navy outfit has as much finesse in_its passing attack as any. Navy Bill believes in the man-in-motion-before-the- ball idea, running practically all of his plays from it. Here's one of the pet passes used by Annapolis. A tall, fast back is placed in the No. 5 position. No. 4 swings back before the ball is snap- to him and then gives ground the right rear as he threatens a run around the opposite end. No. 5 swings out to the right and down field at top speed. Note how the ends cut in back of the scrim- m}:&e line as though to take a pass. - move tends to hold the de- fensive backs in that area. Backs Nos. 6 and 3 take the defensive end and tackle, while guard No. 7 dis- poses of the trailing tackle and end. Thus the passer, No. 4, is protected. He shoots a pass while on the run to No. 5. It's a whale of a play. VIRGINIA HAS BIG EDGE _ IN SERIES WITH V. P.

Texans Are Risking $2,700,000 On Betless Horse Race Meet By the Associated Press. RLINGTON DOWNS, Tex., No- | ho vember 6.—The eyes of turf followers turned upon Texas today, where in the first day of a 10-day meet an attempt will be made to break up the tradi- tional association of horse racing and gambling. ‘W. T. Waggoner, wealthy Texas ofl, cattle and turf man, and his two sons, G. L. and E. P. Waggoner, believe so strongly that the two are not insep- arable that they have staked $2,000,000, the initial cost of the track, plus $70,000 in purses, on their conviction. The racing plant, modern in every detail and capacious almost beyond need, is situated on the Waggoner's many-acred, blue - and - white - fenced ranch, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. The ranch includes the Wag- goner’s Three D stock farm, from which many thoroughbreds have gone forth to win turf fame. ‘Waggoner and his sons are not novices at racing. Their 3-D farm and its rses are known wherever races are run in this country. Their love for the game led them into the experiment— which is an experiment because Texas sheriffs have closed several tracks where gambling was permitted on the llg and no track heretofore has been abie to keep above water purely as a sporting proposition. Everything so far has been in favor of the Waggoners and their Texas Jockey Club. They have been indorsed by school and church at testimonial meetings. The prize money has drawn more than 400 thoroughbreds, includ- ing some sensational horses. Officials were enlisted from the Nation's out- standing tracks. Finally, the sheriff showed today that he was on the job by arresting some Jockeys in a ‘“crap” game. ‘The Waggoners have installed a com- plete plant, with clubhouse, stables, quarters for horsemen and & large grandstand.

Picking four of them will be a tough job for the experts.” COMISKEY AND BUSH TO MAP OUT PLANS CHICAGO, November 6 (#).—Base ball's “Old Roman,” Charles A.

It is known the White Sox are in the market for a second baseman who can do some heavy hitting, a catcher, another heavy clouting out- fielder and a pair of steady pitchers. The “Old Roman” refused to discuss current reports he was after Mark Koenig, the Yankee shortstop, and that he planned to send Bill Cissell, his high-priced shortstop, to Washington in exchange for a right-handed pitcher, possibly Irving Hadley.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, November 6.—The most impressive thing about Chicago’s foot ball team against Princeton was the evidence given of material generally mediocre made effective by painstaking and exact coaching. None, save one or two perhaps, of the forwards was, so far as native ability went, better than fair to middling. Two backs, Van Rice and Bluhm, were above ordinary. Out of this Alonzo Stagg and his assistants fashioned a foot ball team. It is & team that has been beaten in its conference and may well be beaten again. Nonetheless, it is a foot ball outfit which knows why it is on the gridiron and what to do about it. It may be set down as a maxim that no one knows what is ahead of him when he tackles a Stagg team. The chances usually are he will find he has walked into a real foot ball game, and that applies today; not so frequently per- haps, since an increased scholastic av- erage was demanded of Chicago stu- dents, athletes as well as more com- monplace undergrads, but sufficiently often to maintain Stagg’s reputation as no coach with whom to trifie. On those slice off-tackle plays, for instance, it was noticeable on every dash that the backfleld was ready if the back did get through and away from the defensive fullback. So finally, when Van Nice did get into the clear his in< terference was prompt to pick him up. And it was not less precise and compact because of the fact that it had waited until the last quarter to do this. Wittmer Flashy Back. ‘Wittmer of Princeton got to the Chicago secondary defense time and again, but once there no defender had been blocked or taken out. So the con- trast was glaring. When Chicago had a chance to strike she made the most of it because she knew how. Princeton ball carriers, after the first quarter, ‘when the Tigeg regulars were in, dashed into the defensive backfield much more (&!ten than Chicago, but they were cut own, By the way, it might be’'asked where ‘Wittmer would stand in popular esteem were he playing on a standard Prince- ton eleven or some other good team. Here is one of the finest steppers through a line that has played foot ball since the war. No Tiger team has feared to play for a first down when the distance was one or two yards, irrespective of the position of the ball, with Wittmer in the game. For , if ever, has he failed to pick up the yardage. But Princeton has been going badly, and so this remarkable back will probably be overlooked. Pure Stagg Offense. Chicago's scheme of offense bore the Stagg hallmark all over it—applied power and a rather open-faced decep- tion. Chicago’s scheme of sending two backs running out wide and then a for ward down the middle was spectaculal if not too effective. But chiefly the Maroon assault upon the tackles was, as it always has been, the main stock not otherwise, given a reasonably wise defense. Tiger tacklers were lacking in the case of two halves, and the result was a touchdown. ‘The Midway team conceivably may surprise other big teams, just as it sur- prised Princeton. In any event, no fault will be found with its d of opposition. It is, as said, a team made up mainly of mediocrities who have been taught a lot of foot ball.
