Real Open Play
Won for Illini

The touchdown that gave Illinois
the ampionship of the western con-
ference Saturday was probably the
most advanced bit OF open play
recorded In football history. Long
runs had put the Illini within striking
dfstance-but line plunges failed to
send the pigs kin over the line.
Quarterback Clark then tossed the
ball TO Fullback Schoninger, who
made lateral pass to Right Halfback
Macomber. Mac was tackled before
he reached the scrimmage line, and.
as II was fourth down, Il looked as II
Chicago's last stand had been success
full. But just as the Chicago tack
ler's arm grabbed Macomber's body,
the halfback shot the ball forward
across the goal line into the waiting
arms of Left Half Pogue. n that
wasn't a genuine open play, there Is
no srch thing.
The Minnesota Wisconsin game also
was featured by lot OF spectacular
play. The FIRST touchdown against
the Badgers was secured by a 25yard
forward pass over the goal line, and
the second happened when Hamilton
intercepted forward pass and broke
through for 70-yard run that ended
back OF the goal posts.
Both conference headliners were
featured by play very similar to that
OF Barret. OF Cornell The conference
teams. however. showed more ability

AULY'SCHANCEF FOR
ALL-AMER. NOW Slim

The throng OF football fans at Fer
ry field Saturday saw In action the
only two AllAmerican probabilities
who have performed at Ann Arbor
this year They are Captain O'Hearn
and Quarterback Barrett. Of Cornell.
There is now little chance Of Maui
betsth making Walter Camps honor
eleven. Mauly continued HIS sensa-
tionai line-plunging. being good for
gains whenever Michigan had the ball
long enough to give him a chance.
But he was badly shown up In the de-
partmenl OF the game IN which he Is
very weak. The Dutchman has been
used as defensive end, and his fall
ures to block and tackle proficiently
were more apparent Saturday than
at any time this season.
Until he learns TO shine as an all
around player Mauly viii have great
difficulty In securing premier recogni-
tion, despite his marvellous ability to
shoot under and through the opposi-
ticn for remarkably consistent gains.
Had he been able to get through the
Cornell game as fortunately as he has
the other big games of the season,
there was a possibility that his weak
nesses would have been sufficiently
overbalanced by his smashing attack
TO secure him the recognition earlier
predicted for him.

Cornell Routs Michigan When
Wolverines Line Cyun1bLes

After Michigan had turned two
beautiful forward passes and some
classy line plunging by Johnny
"Dutch Demon Maulbetsch into two
touchdowns for 13 points, Saturday,
the wolverines green line crumbled
and Cornell routed the Yostmen. 2s TO
1s. Barrett's open field running and
phillips line smashing were the chief
reasons for the disaster on Ferry ield.
and the remarkable defensive work OF
Captain 0'Hearn, Of Cornell. was a
big reason why Michigan failed TO
gain.
The expected Yost strategy, beyond
the two passes mentioned and third
equally as brilliant, failed miserably,
largely because the line could not
hold firmly enough to allow the plays
IN get started. Cornell had the finest
team seen on Ferry field In many
wears and richly deserved the victory.
The score was the largest ever run
up at Michigan, except In 1908, when
Pennsylvania made II 20 counters to

$50, 900 In the form OF purses. The

$4,000 in purses.
The largest lump sum Wolgast ever
received for one battle was $4,000.
