Michigan Star Back
Cannot Gain Because
of Weakness in Line

. The mystery Of Johnny Maulbetsch,
the Michigan halfback, apparently has
been solved. In 1914 the Wolverine
halfback was a sensation and all teams
were the same to him. He tore line
after line to pieces. Last year he
failed miserably. His form reversal
year. A Detroit sport writer advan-
ces this solution:
''Maulbetsch this year is probably
just as good as the year he played
against Harvard. He was probably as
good last year, and did nothing. And
the whole reason is this:
I'm 1914 Michigan had one Of the
best lines in her history; last year and
this year two Of the weakest. Just
as great fielding baseball team can
make a pitcher, a good line makes a
backfield star. Maulbetsch is not an
open field runner but line bucker. To
buck successfully a line player has to
have a line that will prevent the op-
posing line men from buck1ng him.
Maulbetsch has been bucked to a
standsti1l by the fellows on the other
side Of the scrimmage line, who break
through his own first defence and sit
on him.
They get him before he really gets
started. Maulbetsch's line in 1914 was
making holes in the Harvard first de-
fence through which Maulbetsch shot
for huge gains. But his line did not
open holes last year. Therefore Maui
betsch, instead of pouring into the OPP
,osing mass, found them pouring in
ind over him."

ONLY THREE OF
HARVARD VARSITY
IN BROWN GAME

Cambridge, Nov. 16-Harvard's
period of football rest was broken
Yesterday when the regulars and the
put in one Of the busiest
afternoons of the fall. First the
varsity and the substitutes worked
a gainst each other, and then the
scrubs were brought out to try
Browns offense in a rugged scrlm-
mage. Reggie Browns pets did a
good days work, too With johnson,
one of the scrub backs. emulating
Pollard, Browns colored star, and
giving a mighty fine imitation at that,
weak enough to make two touch
downs through and around it.
Brown has lot of plays this year,
but Harvard is well prepared to meet
them, and, in this respect is in bet
ter shape for the game than Yale
was for the Brunonians a week ago.
The scrubs Brown attack had the
varsity puzzled for time and many
goodly gains were made.
Johnson had lot Of speed, and
his work was about as pretty as has
been seen in practice here this year.
The regulars saved themselves from
being beaten when Eddie Casey inter-
copied a forward pass at midf1eld,
and raced home for a touchdown.
The varsity attack is being worked
up for the Yale game, Of course, and
Just now everything is being calcu-
lated for precision rather than for
power Flynn remained at tackle for
the substitutes, and Duncan, who has
been playing guard, was also worked
at tackle. Taylor started at centre,
and then Sugar went in.
While the lineup for Saturday has
not been settled finally, it now seems
likely that at least three of the regu-
lars, Muarray at quarter back and
Snow and Sweetzer on the line, will
start against, Brown. Those players
who are not taken to Princeton to see
the Tigers play Yale will be on hand
ready to get into the game If needed.
Possibly some of them will start, but
it is certain that Leary, who will be
in charge Of the team, will save the
first string men all he can.
An announcement by the athletic
association included a notice that
tickets purchased with the expecta-
ton of seeing leading players start
the game would be redeemed.

without the faint of defeat ct tell
you," Me said, there were tears In my
eyes when Brown won that game last
Saturday, but I am proud Of those
tears. and every undergraduate Of
Yale should feel just as strongly as I
do about it,
Jones expressed the firm conviction
that the team has a good chance in
both of the games, and he expects to
win from both Harvard and Prince
ton, although it will not be without
the bitterest fight which any Yale
team has ever put up. Arthur Brides,
the assistant coach, who also spoke is
very optimistic.
He hit hard at the undergraduate
body for it's apparent lack of enthu-
siasm during the earlier games of the

Philadelphia. Penn. Nov. 16-In
putting the finishing touches on
PENIS practice at Franklin Field for
the Michigan game. Coach Bob Fol-
we'll yesterday afternoon paid partic-
ular attention to the punting of Ber-
ry. He drilled his fullback in the
value of a quick getaway for kick.
Berry practiced punts in a manner
that pleased his coach, who believes
Michigan will see some of the best
punting Of the season when it clashes
with Penn.
The Varsity eleven was put through
a swift signal drill, then sent Ito the
gymnasium for Skull practice" The
team got an enthusiastic sendof to-
day. Glasses in the university dis
missed in the morning, and almost
the entire student body marched to the

entrained at noon.

BENNY LEONARD IN
GO WITH DUNDEE
AWARDED DRAW

Philadelphia, Nov. 16-Benny Leon
ard and Johnny Dundee, both New
York lads. after putting up one of the
fastest six rounds seen in this city for
some time at the Olympia Athletic
club. came out OF the fray with hon
osS even.
Leonard, with weight in his favor,
as it was announced prior to the bout
that he tipped the beam at 1856
pounds. while Dundee weighed 1927,
played a waiting game, Dundee being
the aggressor practically all through
the bout, but he failed to time his
punches with the same precision as
Leonard. and in consequence missed
many swings.
What helped Dundee in getting an
even break was his good work at
short range, for time and again he
had Leonard breaking ground; but
his punches failed to carry the sting
behind them, with the result that
Leonard made every blow count,
though he did not connect quite as
often as his opponent.

PUT LEAD lin GLOVES

New York, Nov. 16-Jimmy Coffey.
the New York welterweight, has pro-
duced three affidavits to prove Sam
Robideau, the Philadelphia, who
knocked him out in IL rounds at
Providence, October Is, pulled one of
those lead in the gloves tricks on
him.
Coffey asserts that he will fight for
"vindication," if he has to appeal to
the courts. He demands a return
match with Robideau, and will stop
at nothing to force Sam to fight him
before the National Club Of Proyi-
dence, where he alleges he was trick
ed into 'phOney knockout"

BROOKLYN FEELS
Indifferent OVER
! ATHLETICS SERIES

iS Connie Mack fain would have his
Athletics travel with the Brooklyn Su-
perbas this spring, playing exhibition
dates in training. The project does
not sound good. The Athletics were
"a joke last year in the. American Lea
que, and the Superbas were dismal
affairs in the Worlds Series. If those
two teams went 'gallivanting around
the country they would hardly prove
a thrilling attraction that would cause
the standing room only signs to be-
come faded from constant exposure to
the weather, writes Tom Rice in the
Brooklyn Eagle.
II the Superbas were continually to
beat the Athletics in the exhibitions,
the fans would remark that nothing
else could be expected when major
league champions were playing the
worst major league team in history. On
the other hand, IL the Athletics, with a
years experience behind them and
new blood added, should throw the
hooks into the Superbas, the latter
would be made to look ridiculous and
the effect would last all season. 1t
would be as disastrous as the seven
straight defeats the Chicago Cubs
suffered at the hands of the Phillies
in Florida last spring and that was
disastrous.
The Superbas playing such a tour
ing exhibition with the Athletics
would be case of the National Lea
que falling into an American League
trap. On its past performances in the
Worlds Series, particularly the last
series, the American League has gain
ed enormous prestige at the expense
Of it's older rival. A combination of
the Superbas and Athletics might add
to that prestige, and further lower
public opinion of the National League.
Such schedule between the Super
bas and Athletics would be exactly on
q par with Jess Willard fighting Jack
Dillon. II Jess beat Jack he would
get no credit whatever, while if Jack
beat Jess, the heavyweight champion
would become the laughing stock Of
the country and would have to seek
lodge in some vast wilderness.

BROWN TO PLAY
OLD COMBINATION
AGAINST HARVARD

Providence, r. T.. Nov. 16-Prac-
tically every man on the Brown var
sity squad got into a real scrimmage
yesterday afternoon. The lineup Of
the varsity was the same as at New
Haven last Saturday, and was I'M
questionably the same that will line
up against Harvard Saturday. The
only change may be that Conroy will
take Jemaips place in the back field
and Ray Ward return to the line
Both of the men were on the field in
suits, but Conroy, is still a little lame,
and will hardly be in shape to play
this week.
Ward got into the latter end of the
scrimmage, and seemed to be in per-
feet condition, although he has been
out of the game since the Williams
contest. B>5wn is going up to Cam
bridge Saturday with more confidence
than ever before, and the squad is in
splendid physical condition. with no
indication of overwork.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-11-16

Princeton and Yale are now ready
to renew their annual battle on the
gridiron. This years clash will be
held at the Palmer stadium in Prince
ton, N. j., Nov. IS. Earlier in the sea-
son the Tiger eleven was ruling favor
lite, but since Yale has displayed such
brilliant football the outcome lis toss
up. History tells us that, whether
Yale or Princeton is weak, both teams
seem to put up a great struggle when
they clash on the gridiron. Harvard
recently took Princeton into camp by
a score of 8 to 0, and Brown took Yale
into camp by a score Of 81 to 6. Ac-
cording to Princeton experts, if the
Tigers do not whip Yale this fall Mas
saus sons will be astonished. The
Tigers have practically the same team
that was beaten at New Haven last
year. Experience means a lot on the
gr1d1ron, so that the Tigers are well

A HERO OF A DAY

Most football players achieve fame
by degrees, but. now and then some
fellow hobs up UNEXPECTEDLY and grabs
off great gobs of glory in a. single
game. Such a chap was Sam White
of Princeton, and the story of his feat
is worth retelling. 1t was just five
years ago today. Nov. 16, 1911, that
Sam White made himself immortal.
Sam had been a great baseball play
er. but the Ngridiron game didn't in
terest him. and it was not until 1911,
when he was a senior, that he was
induced to have try at it. He did
so we'll that he became a regular in
good standing on the varsity eleven.
On the day in question Princeton play
ed its ancient enemy, Yale. The game
was nearing it's close, with the score
8 to 0 in favor of Yale. when old Sam
