9ss3 81 what GnanCe uhs w ulu6 lOl
and Jefferson against California?
Football enthusiasts east aaI
west are asking that question
lever was there greater interest IN
an intersectional game.
These two great teams are sched
ztiIed TO meet at Pasadena, Cal. on
x January 2. The game will be the
feature event OF the Tournament
Of Roses. @
California has great tenn
That Is an admitted fact. It is sail!
I so be an even better team than thu
* i one that overwhelmed Ohio State
va year ago by % to score.
Western football fans who saw
"A gthe Ohio State eleven OF 1920 in ac,
zion, know that 1t was 4 formid'
u able aggregation. That team waa
it46@!easy for California. II the 1921
eleven is stronger, 1t is easy to
imagine the task that confronts
5.9SY. 2&J.
= s7ss Twill be very much disappointed
alpIess w. & ]. makes much better
showing than did Ohio State.
wish that Coach Eesle might hare
had some assistance from Coac1
.Rockne, OF Notre Dame. 1t would
have helped the open game Of the
eastern team, and It Is opon play
that must be used against Cali,
sfornia.
81 No team, east or west. had as
much deception about its forward
d passing as did Sotro Dame.
Washington and Jefferson is one
.of the three elevens in the east that
~ escaped defeat, Cornell and I.afav.
/, cite being the other two. California
( 4 in selecting Washington and Jefcr.
son picked an opponent that com.
,pares well with any of the eastern
elevens.
49, Washington and Jefferson plays
3, = the open game well and prefers It.
hut w. & j. has versatility as well.
\ Take their last game-asainst Uni.
Eerslty Of Detroit.
w. & j. had been we'll secuted b"
sTletroit and the scouts reported in
detail upon the w. & ]. oren game.
particularly the forward passing
sEe attack.
" When w. & ]. began its attack
e, against Detroit, the Presidents dis.
81 covered that the Detroit eleven hal
sbSas defense for 1t. Tackles and
4 guards were in front and tho re.
ii naindero of the eleven spread
Ar IT was an effective defense; W. Il
Il 81. knew It. So, instead Q: going to
the open game, ". & ]. smashed
the line. Detroit, afraid OF the for.
ward pass attack. did not Concen.
trate its daSeuse and failed 20 pull
up the secondaries.
While Detroit did succeed in
keeping w. & ]. from making
touchdowns by line smashing tho
consistent gains enabled w. & J. 70
keep the ball almost constantly,
and team that cannot get pos.
y 4 session OF the ball canuot mako
touohdowns.
s6G Although not particularly bril-.
80 liant line, the W. & J. line is smart.
It knows football. No team ever
blocked better and few tackled
harder than w. & J. Few iiacs
charge faster. The W. & ! line
has lift and lines need lift
jats Michigan had one Of the best dC.
fensiye lines in tue country this
year. but poor line Otce0sivcl" he.
cause the Michigan lincmen lacked
lift, that Is. they did not lift the or.
posing linemeR ont OF the play az
iinemen should Wick was the only
Exception at Michigan,
Beauty Of W. & ]. is tina; eleven
iootball players know how to plHT
tsand get into every play ANY ;cam
with eleven men getting into ever"
playgis winning football team.
In Stein. their captain and named
az ny Walter Camp as n tackle on his
.,ssfirst eleven this year, the Presidents
have one of the greatest players In
K years.
Stein played center and then
tackle and then he shifted to end
He IS an end on defense. q half
back, quarterback or fuliback on
Defense He calls all the signals
and directs tho attack,
When Stein is not carrying the
y ball, he Is smashing path for the
& runner. Big and powerful and fast.
Smart a real footballer who works
for the team. Deadly tackler. A
streak under a punt. If he plays
end at Pasadena he will give Muller
g hard run for end honors on tho
day,
California will know it has been
Is In a fpotball game aftor its CLASH
with Washington and Jefferson.
