New Britain Herald Newspaper, October 14, 1925, Page 9

Speaking of Sports We have received a number of sport sheets extracted from the Min. neapolls Sunday Tribune and in it we find that a New Britain boy, who was formerly one of the brightest atars in the New Britain high school world of athletics, 1o starring with the Minnesota football eleven. The papers carry an account of Satur- Qctober 4, game between Min- nesota and North Dakota game, The young man in question Is Bob Pep- lau who is regarded as one of the best runners the local high school ever had. The game was the opening game of the season and was murked by a spectacular run by the local boy through a broken field for 55 yards to make a touchdown. The writer deseribing the play, calls it the most spectacular feature of the contest. We will let him tell it in his own words: “The North Dakota's §6-yard dash was not as thrilling as Bob Peplau's Bb-yard spurt for the second Goph. er touchdown In the second quarter, either. Peplau had just succeeded Nydahl in the game when he took the ball on the first play. After starting through right tackle, he dashed away from his interference and ran through a broken field for a touchdown. He gave a brilllant exhibition of open fleld running, stift arming and sidesteppin: the Flick- ertails who trled to bring him down."” Another passage in the story will tell of more good work by the local boy:— “The fourth Minnesota touchdown came in the last quarter when Pep- lau went over the line after Joe Gordon had advanced the ball to within one vard of the goal posts, following a serfes of line plunges by Joesting. Peplau place kicked for the extra point, the only one of the game.” ’ The score of the game was 5 to 5 in favor of Peplau's team and was witnessed by 20,000 people. Peplau's work is the sensation of the team's play. Throughout the entire story. his name {is mentioned time and again and his speed is remarked on. One line alone describes his play: “Brilliance was added to the play of Minnesota as soon as Peplan came into the game in the left half- back position. The work of Johnny Grip and| Howard Beloin, especially the former | on the Fordham squad, is attracting considerable favorable comment from the New York spofts writers. | Grip, playing an alternate halfback Dosition, gets into most all the games and so far has given a remarkable sccount of himself. We would llke to hear from friends of any of these New Brit- ain boys who are upholding the Hardware City's reputation in col- lege football. Shoyld thelr folks re- | selve newspaper clippings or stories wbout any games they have played in, the “Herald” would be glad to reprint the stories. This does not mean that enly bors who are play- Ing football should be reported, but it includes every branch of sport. The Falcons football team il practice tomorrow nizht at 7 o'clock at, St. Mary's field. The nlayers will assemble at Dudack’s hall for a meeting and all are requested to be present. The first rift in the signing of ar- ticles for the Dempsey-Wills fight some time next year, has arisen on {he horizen with the signing of Wills to fight in New Jersey. Mr. Demp- sey kicks because V.ills did not let him know that he was going to fight. We wonder why this clause shoulC be placed in the agreement. Do both fighters want to be as stale as possible for the mueh ballyhooed championship fight? Paul Berlenbach is confldent that he will settle his score with Jack Delaney when they meet in Decem ber, but we know hundreds of Con- necticut fans who expect to have a light heavyweight champion in this state after that battle. The move of Manager Clarence Tanpher of the Natlonal Guards basketball team to engage Billy Du- dack as coach of the quintet this vear assures the fans that New Brit- aln will be represented by a high class court aggregation during the ooming seasen. The team will prac- tice for the first time Friday night and will then get down to serious business. All candidates who wouM like to try out for the team are asked to report at the armory. Last year's veterans will be out but this does not. mean that they have their places made already. The best men will be picked. P. J. McInerney, who guided the destinies of the Beavers in baseball this season and last, and who piloted the Emerald diamond and gridiron entries in their successful 1922 and 1923 seasons, has announced the re- tirement of the Beavers from the field of sports. Mac’s only explanation was to the effect that his outfit had romped away with the junior ecity title in REDUCED RATES | Men $10 Boys $5 | During October i third slightly hurt, Succassive years and the only way to pass along the pennant to som one else was to retire, “P.

He trottud ont his organizations on dia- monds in other towns and s well known outside the city, The retirement of the Beavers as an organization will make avallable for other teams some of the snap- plest ball tossers in the northwest- ern section of the city, the district over whose mports Mac has domi- nated for four years. Gridiron Strategy MANSPRING OF TEAM (BY ERNIE VICK) (Michigan, All-American Center, 1921) A center must be an accurate passer, or feeder to the players in the backfleld. This is nccessary and the important function he has to form in a game. A great number of games have been lost due to a bad or wild pass to the kigker or ball carrier in the backfield. The center is the mainspring of the football machine. 1f he does not function properly and accurate- 1y, the rest of the team or machine is disrupted, and naturally team play or work is ruined. 'here are two ways of feeding or ing the ball to the backfleld. The first is what fe known as the “spiral” pass and the other the “end over end” pass. This is eptional, and should be decided by the center after a thorough trial of both ways, which he likes better. I preferred the end over end, be- cause I was more accurate in feed- ing the ball to the backfield that way. Ancther important part a center has to play is feeding the ball to the punter, whether he be punting, drop, or place kicking swiftly and | accurately p | The faster the ball Is fed to the kicker, the more time he has toi kick the ball, decreasing the chances of the punt heing blocked hy an opposing lineman This is very important, especially when a team waits until the fourth down to Kkick. In case of a fumble, or blocked kick, the opposing team gains pos- session of the ball, and the loss of 40 to 50 vards. which might have been gained if the ball had been most per- Bridgep_o;( _}i;is Se?ies Of Auto Accidents Bridgeport, Oct. 14 (A—In a series of five automobile accidents which occurred, here yesterday, twa per- sons were seriously injured and a Adelalde Bar- num, 16, 733 Wood avenue was struck and thrown under a car while on her way heme from work and dragged several feet.
