NO SHOT AT LN FOR PURPLE STAR In Three Foot Ball Years Aank Is Forced to Miss Team’s Big Game. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, October 15.—Down at Pekin, a small town in the hinterland of Illinois, most of the high school athletes naturally seem to gravi- tate to the great State University at Champaign. But Henry Bru- der, star back of the Pekin eleven five years ago, chose a different route in his search for high edu- cation and gridiron glory. Bruder came to Northwestern, and his greatest ambition from the first day he trod the Evanston campus as a freshman was to play against an Illinois eleven. Today, the ambitions of this powerful and fleet blond Nordic Have turned to ashes, Never will he flash his great runs nor boot soaring spirals against the ni- nil. Twice denied his great desire through injuries, he now sits in an iso- lation hospital, the victim of disease. He will return to the gridiron in another fortnight, but then the Northwestern- “in the Wisconsin him d suffered a broken leg an mfl;\xm‘ 52 = { i L %5533255 1] Lt 'DEVITT IS LOOKING .

NAVY LIKELY TO USE NOTRE DAME METHOD Practice Indicates That Ingram Will Send Shock Troops on Field at Start. ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 15— Foot ball practice at the Naval Acad- emy yesterday suggested that Bill In- gram may, to some extent, follow in the footsteps of Rockne and try the effect of using a series of teams against future opponents. ‘While these tactics were considered prior to the game with Notre Dame, it was felt that the Navhl Academy did not have a second team strong enough to cope with Notre Dame's reserves, and the plan was rejected. Ingram de- cided to mass his full strength at once and try to get the first score. Yesterday Ingram gave his personal attention to a second team which may be used as shock troops in the future games. The line was as heavy and powerful as that of the first line, and an excellent backfield was made up of Bauer, Castree, Fleck and Antrim. ‘This combination was given a thor- ough drilling in & number of plays, all the backs carrying the ball at times. Castree was used more than any of the others and did some excellent ground gaining. Fleck, a new and promising back, was also used considerably.

BORN GRID DYNAMO POOR PLAY PICKER Worst Yale Blunder in Tilt With Georgia Was Taking Time-Opt Penalty. BY GEORGE TREVOR. EW YORK, October 15.— Alble Booth should not call signals. There’s a reason —two of them, in fact. To begin with, this foot ball genius has shown no evidence of having a “quarterback mind.” Alble is a born driver, a great hnnd! at infusing zip and zest and life into a loggy team, but he is a poor play | picker—constantly violates the rules of strategy. As the Georgia Tech scout put it, “A high school quarterback would | know better than to throw a pass at midfield with the game nearly over and his team leading, 14 to 12.” ‘This Tech observer scouted Georgia in the bowl. He couldn't fathom Yale's incredible dumbness in taking extra time out when Georgla had a first down on the 9-yard line with barely two minutes to go. Imagine ceding five vital yards voluntarily at that crucial moment! | This free offering was tantamount to handing Georgia the foot ball game. ‘When the ball was automatically moved ahead to the 4-yard mark Yale's chance | of averting a touchdown vanished. Somebody blundered and the blun- der probably cost Yale a game it did not deserve to 3 It is no easy task for a hard-driving team like Georgia to hammer out a touchdown from the 9-yard line in four tries, with the defense concentrated and the secondaries supporting their line. But when Yale's overtime pen- alty put the ball four yards from the goal the jig was up! Why didn't Yale send in substitutes for its fagged-out players instead of handing Georgia the five yards that made the touchdown inevitable? Eli partisans couldn't be- lieve their eyes when they saw that| precious yardage surrendered without a | struggle. | ‘The second and most important rea- | son why Booth should be relieved of his | signal calling lies in the youngster's | suddenly acquired diffidence. A year ago he wasn't afraid to hog the ball— to call his own signal again and| again—to rely on himself in scoring | emergencies, Publicity has evidently made Booth | self-conscious. He acts as though he were afraid of being dubbed “a show- off.” Certainly he didn’t give himself enough chances at crucial moments last Saturday. BELLE HAVEN TITLE IS KEPT BY ROLLINS w.

HEN a guy bites off a little | more than he can chew, he's | gotta chew it, or else—— | “Say, I've got the team | this year,” was Maxie Rosenberg’s ulti- | matum to such menials as the King| League as he prepared his Temples for the opening skirmish a short time ago. | “We'll sxczsn a record right off the bat.” He got the Bronx cheer, as expected, but doggone if the Temples didn’t hang a new world record on the first Now Maxie's got something else he to know—something that makes his first declaration appear small by comparison. “The Northeast Temples will average 600 per game in the District League,” is Maxie’s unqualified declaration. Even Red Megaw, the flery-thatched mighty atom of the Temples, is dublous about averaging 600. “It just ain't be- ing done,” -‘E Red. Thus far ‘Temples have bowled nine games in the District League and seven of them have been over 600. It's & good start, all right, but the real test comes when the teams swing around the stretch some time in Feb- ruary and then face the home stretch in March and April.
