D—2 s Renter Midwest’s Greatest Ground Gainer : Griffith Urges Senior Golf Tourney CALLED BEST BACK SINGERED GRANGE Most Consistent Maker of Long Dashes on Gridiron in Many Years. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, November 12.— C Dutchman of Northwest- ern’s mighty backfield, is the greatest individual ground- gainer Midwestern foot ball has produced since the days of Red | Grange. Indeed, with another season of play, he may surpass the records left as a heritage to the Big Ten by the Gallopmg{ Ghost. | Grange had his big days and so has | Albie Booth, the will-o'-the-wisp of Yale, but Rentner is the most con- sistent maker of long runs the game has produced in many seasons. Rentner | has played 11 games thus far in his | collegiate career and in 7 of them n° has made scoring sprints of more than | 50_yards. [ 1t may be well to relate his long | dashes before going into the details | of his ground-gaining ability. As a sophomore he intercepted a forward pass against Tulane and raced 50 yards for a touchdown and a week later - duplicated that performance against Ohio State. Then came the game with Illinois, in which he took a kick and spun his way 48 yards| down the field and across the Indians’ | goal line. | Starts With a Bane. He inaugurated the 1931 season by running 65 yards from a spread play to score against Nebraska, Next he circled Ohio’s end to go 50 yards for & touchdown and against Illinois he paced 66 yards on a sweep. Last week against Minnesota he returned a kick- off 95 yards and a punt 80 yards to put_the Wildcats in the lead and vir- tually clinch the conference cham- plonship. Among his lesser feats were the manufacture of two touchdowns, on shorter runs, against Centre last year, and a 24-yard hike for a score against University of California, Los Angeles, earlier this Fall, Only two teams ever Rentner back scoreless. | stopped him in the rain and mud on| Soldier Field in early October and a | year ago he falled to score against | Minnesota. He was urlmli; injured | in that Gopher game, but before quit- | ting the field he hurled a forward pass | that developed a lateral pass and a| 50-yard run for touchdown by Lec Hanley. So Minnesota did not escape him entirely unscathed. Has Gained 1,084 Yards. In six games this season Rentner has gained 1,084 yards for the Purple. From_scrimmage he has carried the | ball 78 times for a net gain of 473 yards, an average of 6.06 yards per try Against Nebraska he made 174 yards in 14 attempts, Notre Dame, 24 in 12; California, 39 in 13; Ohio State, 140 in 17; Illinois, 78 in 5, and Minnesota, 18 in 17. He has returned seven kickoffs, 217 yards; average, 31 yards. it Ne braska he returned one kick: have turned | Notre Dame | . ed 30 punts for 345 yards—average, 11.5 yards—and in- tercepted two passes for returns of 28 yards; average, 14 yards. In the Ne- braska duel he parti ted in the ‘Wildcats' great fc and lateral pass play twice for gains of 36 and 24 yards and against Ohlo helped make the play travel 33 yards. So far this season Rentner has handled the ball 119 times for an average of 9.10 yards gain each time. With three games still to play Rentner should be miles ahead of the season's nearest competitor as & ground-gainer. Makes Physical Comeback. Rentner's sensational play this sea- son_represents a great physical come- back for the flying Dutchman. He suffered a serlous nerve Injury in the 1930 game with Minnesota, sustained while tackling big Jack Manders, the Gophers’ fullback. Rentner made a clean tackle of the Gopher star, but as Manders bulled ahead Pug turned his head and a nerve in his right shoulder was severely pinched. For six years his right arm was bound in an airplane splint and so badly was the arm atrophied that for a while it was thought his foot ball days were fin- ished. Throughout the Winter and Spring Rentner to take daily September, with the arm functioning as well as ever, although he still has a slight limitation of motion that forces &:\ to carry the ball away from his y. Victor in that, Rentner still could not completely shake off misfortune. He came out of a s e against Ernest Rentner, the flying | PORTS. , _THE EVENING THEY DON'T SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE.

Your whiskers are cute, so you never need to shave. But there’s a big difference between bristles on a dog and bristles on a man. Of course you don’t enjoy being plucked, but that only happens once every few months and a man must shave every day and sometimes twice a day to look well. And I understand shaving is no joke. Many men seem to use this as an excuse I'm sure they’'d shave more often and more carefully if they knew how repulsive stubble is to most girls.” 1931.

NE who terms himself a “plain 90- shot duffer” contributes his im: pressions of the Kenwood open, and particularly the play of Tommy Armour. With the injunction that his name not be used in connection with his impressions, this golf fan from Southeast Washington writes as fol- lows: “I was standing at the twelfth green when Tommy Armour reached that green on his first round Sundsy, shooting from over the brow of the hill and landing behind a tree even with the back edge of the green. The Black Scot walked quietly up to the ball, while the large gallery stood ‘googly- eyed’ to see what would happen. '‘Armour walked around three sides of the ball, stooped to pick up a twig, and, replying to something said by the umpire, remarked, ‘I'll play it as it lies.” Carefully selecting a lofted <lub, he cut sharply across the ball, landing it on the extreme edge of the green, and the ‘cut’ gave just enough side spin to bring the ball down on a beautiful curve to within 8 feet of the pin, lo- {cated 40 feet down a sl‘lll’j’}li7 slanting green, where slightly more blow would have put it in the water hazard. It was a shot to take one’s breath and in- cidentally the crowd broke into heavy applause. “Also a personal observation of the disastrous tenth on the second round might be an excellent object lesson to we duffers.

A tight- ening of the lips showed his emotions |and he laid into the next one and sent it soaring into the rough over the green. This hurried action was in di- rect contrast to the deliberate manner in which Armour had previously played. He frequently assumed a stance for iron, wood cr putt and then deliberately would straighten up, look around and gain crouch for his shot, this time ting it where he wanted it. I did not see a single one of the pros using Bobby Jones’ overspin putt.
