Practically the same plays that

Big Ten gave East Tech the scho'

Coach Sam WiIlaman. of the
Techers, is an old Ohio State star.
He has transplanted the system he
learned at the university to East
Tech.
His boys work the forward pass
as we'll as most college players.
They take chances with the open
play in the shadoH Of their own
goal posts where other teams would
resort to punting. And they get
away with It.
The Cleveland eleven also ex'
ecutes an onside kick that has
gained a lot of ground for them.
Willaman is a stickler for inter
ference. Every man Is trained to
get a man. 1t has worked so per
fectly several times this year that
the man carrying the ball has had
an OPEN field. to run for touch

weighs 40.
Carlson's backfield running
mates are lIghtweights but very
fast and good pass casters and

Johnny Benin, left half, is a 124'

several games Of the past season.

VIII MAY against an aggregation
which has shown itself as probably
4 tbs itgreatest 'finisher" in modern
foStball history.
EWatch the clock" is a slogan

Z SfafoTaf bay through nine tents OF
the game, the conference champ
ions could not be stopped in the
last few minutes of play.
Followers Of "Big Ten" football,
\ when watching Ohio sac play,
generally went to the game CON
svinced that for at least three-quart-
aTs the Buckeyes would play a
disappointing game full OF poor
football, but that as the time for
the final whistle approached they
would gradually become q super
football machine, which always
nanaEeii to get In its victorious
work Just a few seconds before the
clock hands reached tho time when
the game must end. Thus the
watch the clock" slogan came into
being.
The reputation OF being great
ffRishars was borne out by the rec
Z ord of the past season. Ohio State
pisyed five Conference teams and
IN four OF the games faced defeat
until the final minutes, or seconds
OF play but each time came through
with q squirt OF perfect football
! which brought victory and the con-
feEancss championship to the repre-

Probably the greatest feat Of the
Z Ohio State eleven-although not
