Watching the Chicago-Ohio State game, which“ended in a 3 to 3 tie, I had plenty of opportunitics to realize why the old grad never loses interest—why thousands who never attended college are strong for the gridiron game, It's the thrill it offers. Iootball, takes the Evening the count in the last 30 seconds of play with a fleld gosl s just like seeing your favorite ball player, with the count three two, two out and the bases filled, crack out a home run that ties up or wins the old ball game. That's what happened in the Ohio State- Chicago game. That no football game is over un- til the shrill whistle of the official or the crack of the pistol announces that time is up, was proved beyond a doubt in the Chicago-Ohio State tilt. Tor three periods the two had played to a scoreless tie, [irst one, then the other, wouid enjoy the advantage as far as grotnd-gaining efforts were concerned Always, however, when the goal of either team was threatened, some- thing would happen to prevent a score. Either the defense would or some player would fumble the ball to have the opposition re- cover it.

After being kicked around for wple of years the Scarlet and Gray arc once more in the run- | a ath ning. The tie game with Chicago, which State seemed to have won until the Jast 30 seconds of play, definitely tablished Coach Jack Wilee's eleven as a title contender. Ohio State, after years, is no longer soft picking team that defeats State will that it has been in a real [(oothull game. Perhaps this isn't Ohio Stal year to win a championship but talke it from me Wiice's team s going to have considerable to say alput the title honors. Experts Are Dubious No doubt there are soni whi will scoff at this viewpoint, pointing to the fact that State in four games has scored only points, lacks a punch and tlierefore is not a great tcam. True, State hasn't run up a big total but its opponents haie scored less.

Nationals Lacked Punch. Washington in the American league lacked a batting punch but managed to win a pennant and a world championship, It did so by holding the opposition to fewer runs. That's State's system, fewer points. A great defense that can keep the es lean Any Kuow several experts opposition from scoring doesn’t need | much of an offense to be a winner. Chicago, a team with a recognized strong offensive, came to Columbus expecting a decisive victory. It was lucky to get a tie. Incidentally Ohio State kept Chi- cago in check minus two of its best players, Karow and Young. Karow, star fullback and a great defensive player, was in the game only a few minutes. Young just a trifle over one period Ohio State showed me a flect back in Klee.

Eastern officials say it makes the referee's job more dif- ficult because it is so hard to tell if all players are motionless when the ball is snapped. Its chlef value, western foothall referees say, is its apparent similar- ity to the original and famous “Minnesota shift,” which stood the football world on its head twenty years ago. It is said to have been uged first in a regular varsity con- test by Coach Robert Zuppke, of Illinois, ten year ago, but for many years before that, it was a common custom in practice scrim where both varsity and scrubs knew all the signals and some secrecy was important. “The huddle system” produces the unbalanced line of the shift play,” Major John L. Griffith, ath- letic director of the western con- ference said yesterday. “But its dis- advantages are becoming more and more apparent. It will goon, T be- |lieve, be almost entirely abandoned, without any rule against it. “It's great defect is that it makes |eleven quarterbacks instead of one, \o decide on the hest play, and that is bad generalship. Also, it com- pletely ignores the defensive align- ment, as the players jump intg place and snap the ball, without sizing up their opponents’ positions. “It §s widely used, but oaches are dropping it, except where cheering from the stands might make the signals diffioult for all the players to catchs | “Coach Rockne of Notrer Dame, | had used with great suceess this fall, against all eastern teams, a | puzzling backifld shift without the ‘huddle system’ while opposing linesmen are trying to see what the backfield 18 doing, Rodkne:d lines- men pluage into them, catching them off guard.” 260 POUND TACKLE —_— Herb &-Inum,’clunt of Wiconsin has | | | | many Team Lecarns to Use His Great Weight to Success, Wie, Oct, 31.—Herb 260 pound tackle on the University of Wisconsin football squad, is learning how to use his |great weight to the best advantage {and is becoming one of the Badgers’ Imost dependable tackles, according Ito the coaches. When Schwarze first came in for notice this season he appeared too heavy and slow to win a place on the first team, despite his having attract- ed attention on the freshmen eleven and the Badger track team. Given a chance, however, he proved one of the chief bulwarks of the lne, and played stellar football against Minne- sota. “He is a good shot putter and won a place In the final Olympig tryouts, Madison, Schwarze, P JUST AS YoU ARE = ABOUT To LIFT.The OLD _ GATE - YOU SEE THE OWNER __— BACw OF A TREE New Britain High Meets Toughest Opposition of Year as New Londoners Have Yet to Be Scored Upon. The New Britain high school foot- ball team will meet the Bulkley Nigh eleven of New London Saturday af- ternoon at Memorial fleld. The Bulkley eleven have not been ‘scored on this season and have won every game that they played. Their weight average is about on a par with that of New Britaln and they have a very fast and well organized aggregation that is determined to add New Brit- ain’s scalp to their string of vietor- les. The New Britain lads were some- what handicapped in_ their ‘practic- ing this week inasmuch as various injurfes to the first string backfleld men sustained In last Saturday's game with the Troy Conference aca- demy, prohibited any hard scrim- maging. Much stress was put on the accurate direction of passes and thorough knowledge of the signals. Coach Cassidy has stated that the game Saturday will be the hardest game on the schedule and that un- doubtedly many of the second string men will be called on to defend the Red and Gold. Claire who is a star on the defen- sive play will most likely be given an opportunity to relieve one of the first team backs in the coming struggle. Other substitutes who may enter the game are Gourson, 'd.acava, Gennett and Haber. | The lineup is as follows: Neipp, right end; Bojnowski, right tackle; Politis, right guard; Miller, Secully, center; Deodorian, left guard; Beloin, left tackle; McCarthy, left end; O'Brien, right halfback; Cap- tain hrer, left halfback: Grip, quarterback; Belser, Stromquist, fullback, Bulkley High—Bank and Hutchi- son, left end: DeWitt, left tackle; Wilson, left guard; Diilon, center; Brown, right guard: Watson, right tackle; Daniels, right end: Tenker, quarterback; Wright, left haifback: Sheflott, right halfback; Nocery, fullback.
