ing to the Naval Academy, he turned
out fine gridiron machines which were
usually victorious. In three years
three defeats were chalked up against
Dobie's Navy teams. West Virginia,
Great Lakes. and Georgetown turn
ing the trick.
During Dobie's regime at Annapolis
1t was the general belief that "soft"
schedules greatly aided the Middies
record and that strong teams were
winners over the sailors. If there is
real merit in the Dobie system, IT
should be shown at Cornell. The
alumni are aiding the new coach in
obtaining sufficient time for teaching
his squad, and Cornell never has had
a soft" schedule. Indeed, 1t has frc.
quently much too much for weak
elevens turned out at Ithaca
WAS AT GEORGIE TECH.
Heisman. the new Pennsylvania
tutor of gridiron ethics, was at Geor-
gia Tech last season. closing a spec
tacular career. While the Golden
Tornado played in Dixie. it was un-
beatable. 1t met it's defeats when it
strayed toward the North Pole, los
ing twice at Pittsburgh to Glenn S.
Warmers powerful aggregations. OF
course, now and then 1t lost to South
ern elevens, for instance, to Wash
ington and Lee last fall, but for sew
eral seasons past Georgia Tech was
well nigh, insurmountable.
Heisman's famous Georgia shift"
earned it's teacher a reputation from
coast to coast. At least some modifi-
cation of it win probably be used by
the Quakers this coming season.
though the officials are sure to watch
for infractions OF the rules wherever
it appears.
Football writers are wondering Just
what will become of Heisman's repu-
tation after he faces the wrangling
and university politics at the Phila-
delphia institution, not to mention
the thrusting of his "shift" into
Eastern football
