Loss OF Stars Brings Out More

CHICAGO. Nov. s. - War time

middle west-despite the fact that
attendance at most the games has
been below normal. and that prac-
tically all teams have gore into ac-

who have answered calls 90 the
colors or taken places in new indus

Loss of Stars no Blow.
Preseason predictions that the
quality Of football would suffer be-
cause Of the numerous scrubs" and
green players who would make
the varsity teams. have not been en-
TREY borne out. On the contrary
the loss OF stars" has resulted In
improved team play at several
schools. the other members OF the
elevens showing less Of a let

20 more plays with their full in
dividual powers.
Coaches and experts who have
noted this tendency ascribe il to
two factors One is the feeling Of
some players that they have bet
ter chance now TO become stars
themselves The other is the realiza-
ton on the part OF most OF the men
that with the team weakened by
the loss OF sure ground gamers or
dependable forwards. each man

The greatest lack of the present
