Chicago, III. Nov. %. - The su-
periority OF Ohio States football
eleven, western conference champions
this year. over the other teams COM
orisfng the Big Ten" is borne out
In an analysis Of the offensive and
defensive records OF the various con-
tests. The Buckeyes finished second
in the number OF points scored IN
games between conference eleyens
and we're first in holding opponents
away from their own goal line. only
three teams - Wisconsin, Michigan
and Chlcago-crossed the Ohio goal
line and no team crossed u more
than once. The team scored 81
points in conference contests against
20 FOR its opponents
An unusual feature show n in the
analysis Of the seasons results IS
that Iowa which finished fifth IN the
percentage table, was first in scoring
with f5 points while Michigan. IN

IT IS ONE of the aLioms OF the
gridiron that a strong offense is
the best defense. AS a generality.
that is true For when you have a
strong offense, you are likely to be
rushing the ball for gains most OF the
time, and only rarely letting It get
out OF your possession And while all
that IS going on. your opponent. na-
rurally, has no chance to start his own
offense going
A team that has no defense at all
can never win games cOnsistently, no
matter how sure-fire its attack may
be. For there are times in the course
Of a football game when the weaker
team gets the bail. and II it suddenly
finds its foe has nothing TO stop its
regular plays, nothing but touch
downs can result.
Wins Big Average.
Il requires no superlative insight
into football 70 know that mighty
good offense, coupled with pretty
fair defense, can win a very fine av-
erage Of games A team that has a
poor offensive. but has an almost per-
feet defense, IS up against it for win
ming games, unless IL plays In all
kinds OF luck

the way that their scores read against
teams that play the old line-bucking

ATTACKS ON THE PRESS

Certain elements OF people are very
much down on the newspapers. The
Socialists for instance say the press
Ii muzzled by business interests. Many
labor union people claim they cannot
get square deal from, the newspap-
ers. Politicians are constantly quar-
reling with them. because something
is printed that they do not approve OF
There will always be some news
paper inaccuracy because newspapers
must necessarily be written and print
ed in a hurry, But attempts to penal
lie newspaper men for errors that
were not malicious. or to suppress
honest expressions of opinion. are us
ually remedies worse than the disease,
Theatres sometimes exclude report
ers who criticize too severely their
productions. There has been an in
teresting illustration recently in the
North Dakota Legislature, which past
a rule excluding newspaper reporters
who make inaccurate statements.
Such restrictions on newspapers are
often made with a perfectly honest
intent The laws OF the land. how
ever. provide ample protection. II
you attempt still more strict regula-
ton, you curtail freedom of the press
and in the Ions run iniure the public
The politician with an AK to grind
would find means to use such regula-
tion in ways not originally intended
and 70 his own advantage.
Public officials who are honest but
incompetent. commonly dislike the
prodding that they need. and would be
glad to see newspapers much more
closely held down.
Many writer's express themselves
bitterly and harshly. but they hurt
themselves more than anyone else
A misstatement Is quickly denied and
has little effect II che Socialists who
