ANSAS CITY. No, Nov 19.-Be-
ing a firm believer in the theory
~ that an effective attack is far
better than a strong defence, coaen
Brewer Of Missouri university, has
spent most Of the present season de-
veIoping a scoring machine and Judg-
ing from the games played to date the
theory has worked out well with the
Tigers. He viii have his best chance
to demonstrate that a strong attack
beats a strong defence when me
Tigers clash with kansas November
Brewer, like many other successful
western coaches, is Of the belief that
If a team with a strong attack can
keep the enemy on the detence the
attack itself proves an excellent 0e-
fence because it prevents the opposi-
ton from putting into operation any
attempts at scoring, since the SOal
line is to be defended against this
attack. In other words, keep the
enemy on the run.
Getting the Jump Counts.
Getting the jump on the opposition
is best illustrated by battles IN the
prize ring. How many times do we
see fighters who are really capable
Of boxing, lose because they are forced
to go on the defensive at the start
and are kept there throughout the
battle by the versatility Of attack or
the OppOSlllou- a SoOu CesS u ms
was the Ferns Brewer fight here a
year ago. Brewer, a clever boxer,
was forced to assume the defensive az
the outset because of the rushing at
tack Of Ferns, which was unlocked
for. and Ferns kept up this attack
for the full ten rounds, thus winning
the verdict
western style Best.
Western style of coaching Is to de-
velop the attack more than the de-
fence, while eastern style is to make
the defence as strong as possible and
