Runs Wild on Buckeyes. ATED the country’s outstanding all-around back, Berwanger closed & brillant career by personally beat- ing Illinois in a dramatic finish. The “Flying Dutchman” ran wild against Ohio State and had the powerful Buckeyes licked until the balance of man power turned the tide. This has been the greatest of three great sea- sons for Berwanger. During his var- sity career on a team limited in man power and seldom a match for the power house squads of the Big Ten, Berwanger has gained more than a mile of ground from scrimmage. He has not only done the kicking and passing for Chicago, but much of the tackling. But for the misfortune to be badly hurt and put out of the game for the last three weeks of the season, Notre | Dame’s Andy Pilney would have made & handy running mate for Berwanger in the all-star backfield. Pilney was a “ball of fire” while he lasted, but abil- ity to go the full route is one of the main requirements, and it was Andy's tough luck to be on the sidelines while others galloped down the stretch to take all-America honors. ‘Wilson “Is Another Booth.” EADING the galloping was Bobby ‘Wilson, jackrabbit of the South- ‘west Conference and one of the slip- periest little fellows since Albie Booth was starring for Yale. Scaling barely 147 pounds, wringing wet, Wilson scooted through broken fields from Los Angeles to Fayetteville, Ark.

Widseth is rangier and more of a play-wrecker than Smith, but not so consistent nof so cagey. For a 218-pounder, Smith is remark- ably fast. He gets down under punts like an end rush.

BY GRANTLAND RI OS ANGELES, December 7.—| ‘Western rails at this paint are carrying their full share of foot ball players and race horses headed for the Coast. And quite often you'll find in their wake the pungent odor of liniment or other medical aids to relieve the wounded and the sick Passing through El Paso on his way to Santa Clara and San Francisco, Dutch Meyer, coach of T. C. U., put in a busy hour doctoring up Lawrence. his crack running back who was hobbling around on one leg A few hours later at the same spot H. G. Bedwell, piloting 22 horses from Frank Long's collection, had a veteri- nary and a keg of medicine waiting for a sick horse who carried a temperature of 105. “I've got the tougher job,” Bed- well said. “A foot ball player can tell you what's wrong with him, but a horse can’t.” S. M. U. also had a number of bat- tered athletes to bring around, with Shuford still limping badly along tk sidelines and Wetzel uncertain. It is still a question as to whether Coaches Bell and Meyer can lift their squads to the needed peaks once more after the pointing they did for their Fort Worth show. The Texas Aggies have been improv- ing steadily week by week after a slow start, and they now have a line to mateh any opposition. Santa Clara’s defense in her T.C. U. game will look at more flying foot balls than she has seen all year. With Law- rence hurt, Sammy Baugh will depend more than ever on his rapid-fire pass- ing. His record of completed passes for the season is phenomenal. He had over 30 in his last two games against Rice and Southern Methodist. To show you how Baugh can peg a foot ball, the chart of the S. M. U. contest outlined 41 out of 45 passes that Baugh threw to receivers’ hands. T, C. U. Supporters still insist his receivers had an off day, and that if Roach and others had han- dled the ball as they did against Rice the T. C. U. count would have passed 25 points. Any way you figure it, Baugh can throw a foot ball about as well as any one I ever saw, jut he needs able re- The treatments also have to be cejvers to havile those fast-flving entirely different, for medicine that broke the thorough- the dose of | tosses that travel s a base ball trav on a dead line. bred’s iever from 105 to 102 was a pint of whisky. In looking on shead to Santa Anita's | $100,000 race it was Trainer Bedwell's guess that Discovery would carry top weight by an 8 or 10 pound margin over Omaha if both start. By the first of the year there will be 1,200 thoroughbreds around Los An- geles and by the same date, including ‘Washington, Pittsburgh, Southern Methodist, Stanford and T. C. U, there will be something like 200 foot ball players moving around the Coast. This combination should keep the inhabitants fairly busy from now on, with the early rush for Rose Bowl seats breaking all past records. JN THE meanwhile both Southern Methodist and T. C.
