;Minneso SPEED, AIR ATTACK ARE GOPHER HOPES Huge Wildcats Will Be at Height of Power in Big Ten Headliner. S By the Associated Press HICAGO, November There was a time, and not 80 long ago, when Minne- sota foot ball teams were oted for huge man-power, but the Gophers will have to depend on something else against North- western Saturdsy . The Wildcats have a bigger squad and bigger men than Min- nesota, and all the f2ncy foot ball Fritz Crisler and Tad Wieman have been able to teach the Gophers in less than two seizons, will be called into uss in one big effort to wreck Northwestern’s title drive.

Forward, Lateral Pass Going Well for Scoring Purposes In Some of Big Ten Clashes BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, November 3.—The com- bination of a forward and lateral pass has become quite a scoring vehicle in Western foot ball this season. Northwestern' used it, with devastating effect during the 1930 season, and again has it for a powerful surprise play, while both Minnesota and Leland Stanford have worked it for touchdowns. Northwestern has un- doubtedly made the best use of the combined passes, and only twice in two seasons has it gone for a gain of less than 25 yards. Reviewing the success with which the Purple has us:d the play, one finds that in 1930 it went for 72 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota; 46 yards m | and a score against Illinols, and for a sizable gain against Indiana. This s | season it has been worked for a 50-yard to Foot Ball Tips BY SOL METZGER. ‘Walter Steffen, coach of Carne- gle Tech's great foot ball team, is spending nervous moments on the bench this week as his Plaid war- riors meet Pitt Saturday in the big e of the year in that city. Pitt foan a 1-point vi last year, which is always perfectly sat- isfactory when ancient rivals clash. One of the most feared runs of the Panthers is this reverse: The ball is passed to back (3) who runs to his right, hands it to back (1) and then blocks the defensive left end coming in. No. 1 breaks to the left. The opposing right end is taken out by backs (4 and 2). Guard (7) swings out to help his left end (8) take the defensive right tackle. With the way thus cleared, line- men (5 and 6) lead back (1) around the defensive left end. If they manage to cut down the de- fensive center and right half, No. 1 is off for a long run that will spell doom to almost any team (Copyrisht. 1031, RTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE Gilmour t Comell- The winning factor 1s not any one's systsm. It is material or man power. There tre 20 coaches who know enough foot ball to keep on winning if they have the material. ‘There is no coach good enough to win without the material. Pick the best of all the systems and select the best of sll the coaches and give this com- binetion only fair material—then give | the man power to some almost unknown coach and he will ride roughshod across the other's neck. The answer is largely in the quality of the athlete who st:ps upon tao field “You may still remember what hap- ed to a3 graot a coach as Knute e in 1928 when he lost four games and just saved another by a miracle play. I have had my method and my system called & joke, bacause I lacked the man power to work with. A litlle later I was supposed to have one of the best systems around, because I had the man power. Yet the two systems were the same, for I have not changed methods in any important respect. play is one thing, but the most im- portant thing is to have foot ball -qm can carry the i s Any one who mentions great back- field combinations without mentioning Morton and McCall of Dartmouth is curious in the cupola. They bhoth be- long. Dartmouth is still wendering what 1t tekes to win points can't put the act across. The main idea is to keep Albie Booth Nebraska and a 37-yard gain against Ohio State. It was stopped last year ¥y Notre Dame, late in the game, when the Irish intercepted the lateral throw and there- aftor scored their second touchdown ‘The Wildcat - second-strjngers tried it twice against Illinols, and Bob Zuppke's men held it to an 8-yard gain the first time and the forward the mext time it was used. Fritz Crisler has found the play pro- ductive for Minnesota and the Gophers pulled it to score against both Towa and Wisconsin after long gains. On the other hand, the Gophers saw the play go for a touchdown against them, when they met Stanford at Palo Alto. Dick Hanley, Crisler and Warner all differ in their execution cf the play. Northwestern has several variations In its presentaticn, but the favorit> route is a long forward pass to an end, who goes straight down and then throws a 10-yard lateral to a halfback, who runs parallel with him. Against Wisconsin, the Minnesota right end crossed over to the left side of the field, and then, after receiving the forward throw, fiipped the ball laterally to Capt. Clar- ence Munn, who had dropped out from 4he guard position and, a swinging wide, raced down on & line with the re- celving flanker. After getting the ball Munn was threatened only by the Bad- ger safety man. and he eliminated that opponent by stiff arming with his head. Stanford’s forward and lateral develop off a reverse pass, on which the end cuts across, and the halfback reverses and goes wide to take the second throw from the end. All of the systems are good if the in the Yale Bowl if 33 at the proper moment. Knute Rockne never thought a great | deal of the idea and told the writer pricr to the 1930 Nctre Dame-North- | | western game that if the Cats att=mpted | to play, his team not cnly would break | it up, but also would get the ball. Which | is precisely what occurred. The conference hes developed an un- usual number of fine punters this Fall. | Olson of Northwestern, of course, is the | cutstanding kicker among the sopho- mores, and if his development continues | the blond Swede will become one of the | greatest punters of all time. Olson is consistently over 50 yards and several | times has booted more than 70 with keen direction. sy ke | MAT GETS CONACHER | Turns From Hockey Game to Wres- tle Racket—Ice Players Hold Out.

EW YORK, November 3:~The threatened collapse of Jim Londos did not materialize at Madison Square Garden last night, for the heavyweight champion of some places turned in a smooth, smart performance in retaining his title claim b{ tossing Matros Kirllenko of Russia, clalmant of the European champion- lh{&, in 39 minutes and 31 seconds. hile Londos has scored quicker vic- tories he had a rather easy time on the whole, seldom being in danger and final- ly stopping the Russian with the ever- reliable airplane spin. Kirilenko had hoped to make much of his tremendous strength. but aside from folling some of Londos’ holds his muscular energy did not get him very far, Except for a full nelson, in which Londos had to play the ropes in order to escape, the Russian did not skim very clofe to victory. At various times he tossed Londos around, but Jim can take those rollovers like an Arabian tumbler, and so he really was not in much danger. The Russian was further handicapped by his lack of speed. Not that he ls slow exactly. but Londos is much faster, and so was able to thwart many of Kirilenko's attacks before they really got started. Bave for a few minutes toward the end of the match it was not a sensa- tional affair. Londos was cagey, and with Kirilenko playing a deliberate hand there was no necessity for the champion to cut loose with any fancy maneuvers, e MARTIN HEAVY SMOKER.
