NURMI COMING OUT OF GAME WITH YALE —ROJAS LOSES BOUT, THEN IS FINED $500 BY MINN. COMMISSIONERS—TIGERS READY FOR NOTRE DAME DAY'S GAMES WILL RESULT IN CHANGE IN STANDINGS Powerful College Elevens In East Clashing and in Each Case a Win or Loss Will Affect Prestige. By The Awmsociated Press. New York, Oct Football games upon the eastern stuge today will express a wide range of the character of the sport, Temperament will be stressed at Princeton where the highly-charged Tigers will the baffling Notre Dame windmill which last year blew the littls brother of football's oldest family around Palmer Stadium and scored a to 2 victory before Rockne turned off the speed. During the last week Princeton has prepared as never before for any team not of the Big Three. Notre Dame will be without its captain and Iline star, Captain Adam Walsh and the Tigers hope to aggravate his ab- sence by charging fast enough to stop the blades of Crowley, Layden and Miller before they gain momen- tum., It will mark the last appearance in the east of Rockne’s famous squad of the last two years, all of which leave achool next June. Harvard Dartmouth, At Havard the conservative and slowly developing Crimson will wrestle with a powerful Dartmouth eleven polished by its friction with TYale last week. The Green is favor- ed on season's form to win, but the outcome of the contest will be vital- 1y affected by the extent that Harv- ard unfolds in the siow process of preparation for the Big Three bat- ties, g face Yale-Brown. ‘With the same idea in mind Tad Jones will tinker about his machine at New Haven while Yale spars with Brown in what should be a good workout for Eli. Yale is in the for- mative period, with its character in the making, but observers estimate that the boy will turn out well, Cold efficiency, demonstrated in the Syracuse attack throughout the year, will lay its knife upon the form of Penn State, still bewildered from a 15 to 13 defeat by Georgia Tech last week altheugh the northern squad excelled in all departments of the game but that of scoring. The Orange, with McBride, Bowman and Foley working behind a veteran line, should win its fifth straight victory although fhe possibility of the Nit- tany Lion finding itself upon its own gridiron, is strong. Lafayette-W, J. Lafayette and W. and J. choosing to abandon their home fields for a neutral game, will engage in a game of skill at the Yankee Stadium, with continuance as one of the unbeaten clevens of the year a prize for the vietor, Two seasons back W, and J. won 14 to 13. Last it was 6 to 6. lLafayette looms as one of the strong taams of the present season and is favored to win. Centér—West Virginia Straying still farther from home are two southern elevens, West Vir- ginia and Center, which came all the way to the Polo Grounds to settle a rivalry which began five years ago in the mountains famed for their feuds. Center was an unknown then and West Virginia was warm with na- tional applause following a 30 to 0 vietory over Princeton. Bo McMil- lan, Red Roberts and Red Weaver were introduced to the foothall world that day as Center won 13 to 6. The spotlight has strayed from Danville in recent years and West Virginia has«its hand on the switch today, eager to turn it off entirely. Williams—Columbia Almost obscured by the visiting delegations, Columbia, New York's own elevén, will come to bitter grips at Baker field with the brave little Williams eleven that turned Cornell out of the sweet pasture of vietory after three vears of fat and easy liv- Ing. Family skeletons will rattle in the battle. Coach Wendell of Wil- liams is a pupil of Percy Haughton, mentor of Columbia. ‘The Biue and White will attempt to reverse three straight defeats by Williams 1 ac- re the winning habit.

Koppisch enjoys the unique dis- team for the third successive year. He is also playing his fourth year of college football. When the game was Columbia, Koppisch, freshman, was permitted to play. Because of his fine work he was elected cap- tain in his sophomore year. Koppisch is versatile. He can hit the line or run an end. Very fast, he is a brilliant receiver of forward passes. He can also throw them and does most of his team's punting. A rather handy young man to have around.

That will test the strength that has sent Tilinois far to the fore as the pick of conference . for championship possibilities, ) Thus was interest detracted from three games that otherwise would have stood on their own merits as worthy of following hungrily in per- 501, by scoreboards or by radio. Minnesota and TowA at Towa Cit Chicago and Ohio State at Colum- bus, and Wisconsin and Michigan at Ann Arbor, provided the champion- ship meetings. Of those teams, Chi- cago alone is tied with the western conference title race, while Michigan has one defeat and the other four one tie each. The Chicago offense has been brought to its greatest strength of the season and the defense has been groomed to break up the puzzling forward passes expected from Ohio State. Since Ohio State’s scoreless tie with Towa, Coach Wilee ha the tosses from running formations preceded by a Yake punt.

True the gathering of 11 players in a buneh prior to each play does- n't add any color to the game, On tho contrary it reminds you of the days when a picked team, having no set of signals, adopted such a method to decide who would take the ball, The huddle or bunch system lacks the thrill that goes with the shout- ing of a lot of numbers by the play- er delegated to select the plays. The calling of the various signals is a warning to the crowd to make ready for action on the part of the athletes, There 1s no such thrill to the hud- dle system, which is merely a whis- pered conference, No Time Tost Much of the agitation against the hudqle system is based on the loss of actual playing time in the many conferences that must be held to de- cide each play. During the past few weeks a num- ber of leading coaches have had the stop watches on games where one team resorted to the bunch system and the other used the old-time method of calling the signals. §n each case the report has been the same. There Js little or no dif- ference in the time consumed. The slight margin of difference, a second or two on each play, favors the hud- die system, Many of the leading coaches are Princeton’ Enters Today's Game In Perfect Physical Condition— Notre Dame Lighter. Princeton,, N. J, Oct. .—The Tiger's claws; have been sharpened and his spirit prodded throughout the entire week for today's meeting with the Notre Dame Comet which 1ast year defeated a Roper eleven 25 to 2 in the first gridiron meeting be- tween the two schools, Princeton will enter the game in |n(rf¢('l physical trim with Captain Buzz Stout back at end for the first |time in three weeks. Notre Dame | will be without Captain Adam Walsh |star center and bulwark of che line, who came out of the Army contest last week with two broken hands. The game has aroused more en- thusiasm here and Princeton has de- voted more preparation to it than jany other eleven outside the big [three. Rockne's probable tactics against an elaborate defense for his irunning backs indicate a more ex- tensive use of the forward pass than [he has practiced in the east during recent years, Princeton’s line will outweigh the Notre Dame forwards about 15 pounds to the man.

Gillinder, Use salt in the watep-in which you wash spinach and the sand and grit will be removed. of the opinion that inside of five years every football team will be using the bunch system of calling plays. The acoustic arrangements of most of the new stadiums are poor. Add to this the shouts of thousands of wildly excited fans and it 1s easy to see how hard it must be for the players to hear the calling of the signals. Zuppke of Illinois and Wilce of Ohio State, two of the game's great- est coaches, use the huddle system exclusively, because it is surer and eliminates checking-of signals. Another advantage of the huddle system is that it offers an opportu- nity for a smart player to question the wisdom of the choice of play. Often this feature results in a shift- ing of tactics, much to the advan- tage of the team having the ball. Barostorming Trips There is no reason why a major league player should not be permit- ted to play exhibition games after the close of the season, provided he observes the discipline that is de- manded of him during the regular playing season. At one time there was so much agitation against barnstorming that severe restrictions were placed on the activities of the players after the close of the season. Of late years the ban has heen itaken off to a certain extent and the players have been in a position to Nov. 1, the officlal closing of base~ ball as set by Judge Landis. However, since the close of the present seaszon, the conduct of sev- eral clubs have not been in keeping with the best interests of the game. There may be a reaction against barnstorming as a result, 1f you are in need of advice and do not know where to seek, look to the classified ads.
