The Ichabods were a bit stiff at
their practice Monday night, and
] Coach Grad did not put them through
the usual scrimmage. 1t was the Sec
ond time this season the varsity squad
has not scrimmaged.
Among the players who were not
able to be out Monday night were
Newell and Rice. Newell was nurs-
ing a bad leg and Rice was not out
because there was no school at Baker
university.

than I have ever had this season. -

night. And I wouldn't be surprised

is nursing a Charley Chaplin limp, but
he expects to be in condition before
Saturday.
The Ichabod students are planning
a series of pep meetings for the latter
| part of the week to be terminated with
a shirt tail parade Friday night. 1t is
probable that the Glueck blankets will
! be presented to the players at meet
ing in chapel Friday.

st. Marys, where they played the
Catholics this afternoon.
1--WE expect our Friends university
game, November IS, to be our hard
est game of the season." Coach Weede
says. And the doctor is confident that
his team will be acclaimed state cham
pions If they win all the remainder of
their games.
I'VE have played more conference
games than any other team in the con-

win all of our games 1 don't see how we
can be figured out of the title. bas-

games played and the percentage

With foot as big as balloon and
a pair of crutches padded on top like
feather busters, Glen Elbe, who was
injured in scrimmage last week, was
out at practice Monday night. Rob
ert Whitcomb, one of last years stars,
was also out.
Scene: Tip O'NeilTs office. Time:
Sunday. The Big ex-Boss: And so
it is. and SO it is I say. Amt that
right, Jack?'' Jack, the faithful:
right, sir, If you please, sir, you are
right
And so and in such manner in dry
Chicago, on the Sabbath morning, Tip
O'NeiH, who was kicked from the
Western league presidency, and Jack
Holland, owner of the Drummers-
the tail end club of the league-met
and measured their grievances.
If o'Nein had possessed the baseball
shrewdness he has been accredited
with having, he never would have
tried to call a league meeting. And, II
the club owners, those who ousted
O'Neill, had heard the call they would
have been too chumpy to laugh at.
ONeill says that when the club
owners pay him the salary that is
out and turn over the presidency. But
the club owners probably want to
know what he thinks he has done to
earn that salary.
The boost that O'Neill gave Mayor
House for the presidency last week
was merely another one of his tricks.
He has tried before to create dissen-
sion by recommending men from vari-
Gus towns in the league. He thinks
that if he can get each town pulling
for its own candidate it will be
smoother sailing for him.
Is the forward pass to become solely
the property of the light football
team This question is due to receive
considerable attention in the near fu
ture, and indications now are that the
status quo of the pass has not been
as definitely decided as many have
thought.
No big team of the country has ex-
perimented with the pass more than
Yale and Yale is having the most
disastrous season in her history this
year. Also. although Yale is supposed
to know every phase of the passing
game, it is a notable fact that the Eli
players were totally helpless in break
ing up the passes attempted by w.
and ].
Another example of the treachery
of the pass to big teams was furnished
by the K U.-Oklahoma game last
