PLAN ToLlMIT
PLAYER TRADES
New Proposal II Carried Would Pre-.
vent SO.Called "Pennant
Buying,
RY John B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1929. by The Argus
New York, Oct. 20.-The latest
plan to make impossible the pur-
chase of pennant, announced to-
day, would prohibit the team win
ming major league championship
from taking on any player after the
opening day Of the season the fol-
lowing year. The plan would also
provide that other teams would be
allowed 80 days grace after the
opening of the season and that aft
er that time they would have to go
through the year with the players
of their selection. That would
mean that after May Is no major
league team could purchase, trade,
exchange, loan or rent players.
The eastern manager who spon-
sored this plan pointed out that
more than 100 high class ball play
ers are in demand by major league
clubs today and that there are less
than 25 to fill the vacancies.
Every club in the major league
with the possible exception OF the
New York Giants could change
three positions to advantage. Even
the Giants would strengthen the
outfield and their pitching staff if
opportunity offered.
Only 10 players were drafted from
the minor leagues. number ABB
surdly small when compared to
needs of the major league for 1928
For that reason the clubs should
seek TO recuperate strength from
among themselves within reason
able time but put "a limit on the pc
Rod for adding strength in order
that the leading teams should moi
have the opportunity OF foragine
and collecting talent which is now
given them as late as midsummer

terests of the sport should be will.

New York, Oct 2osrThe football
schedule of Saturday is well calcu-
lated to give definite indications Of
the real strength and weakness OF
leading teams in every section and
to furnish accurate comparisons OF
intersectional strength. The really
big games are Harvard Center,
Navy Georgia Tech. Pitt-Syracuse
and Cornell Colgate contests.
Center's hard time with Virginia
Polytechnic last Saturday, although
the Virginia team is strong, augurs
none too we'll for . repetition of
last years victory over. Harvard.
But Red" Roberts is a host in him
self and Covington is q good sue
cessor to Bo Mcmillan. Harvard
should win il Buell. directs his team
and Owen plays through.
The Navy will get just the right
kind OF experience with Georgia
Tech, for the army is going to give
the Middies plenty Of shift plays
later in the season. If Georgia
Tech gets going as they did for five
minutes in their Penn State game
as they did last year they will
score, but the writer looks to see
them have a lot of trouble in STOP
ping the Navy backs, particularly
Barchet.
Pittsburgh and Glen Warner are
thirsting for blood. having lost their
last two games. Their spirit is ripe
to take this out on Syracuse. But
their cripple list is too big and
their line and backfield do not CO.
ordinate. Moreover, Chick" Nee.
han has a lot OF huskies this veal
! and behind them are memories Of
defeats by Pitt and tie games. Thi:
year they are determined to settle
the issue squarely.

not greatly exercised about the Col
gate game until last Saturday

HOLES BALL IN
COAT POCKET OF
BROTHER GOLFER

Denver, Colo, Oct. 20.-The old
classic of tie diamond concerning
the ball player who caught hall
in the pocket of his shirt had its
counterpart on a local golf course
here yesterday. Lee Pickens. To-
cal clothier, connecting with the
gutta percha for terrific drive
down the fairway, cried fore" as
the ball scared toward a foursome
ahead. One of the players stopped
over, covering his head in conven-
tional fashion. AS he did so, Pick
ems ball landed squarely in the
pocket Of his sweater. Club Off
Gals, whose veracity has never
been questioned, even as to the &C
curacy Of their medal scores, vouch-
ed for the authenticity Of the story.

TWO REeULARS
Of hUeUSTANA
ON SIDELINES
Captain Lincke. Hay BE Out for
Rest Of Season, for
That Matter.
Probable lineups:

When Augustana college goes up
against the Monmouth college
football eleven at Erickson field
tomorrow AFTERNOON, the Swedes
will be without the services Of two
of their first string players. The
two men who will be forced to
witness the game from the side
lines are Captain Lincke, right end.
and Chuck" Larson, right tackle.
The inability Of these two players
to take part in the contest comes
as a blow to Augustana followers,
and at the same time puts dam
per on Augie's chances Of winning
its first gridiron contest of the
season
Lincke's inability to play comes
as a result of scholastic standing.
The Augie captain has been unable
to make up some back work. How
ever. even if this matter was right
ed, it is improbable that Lincke
would participate in the battle. Last
year he broke three blood vessels
in his leg, causing bad blood cir
culation. The doctor has advised
the Augie captain not to take part
in any game this year. II these in
structions are followed, Lincke
will be out for the entire season
and Augie will have to have a new
leader.
Larson's absence from the fracas
is also a result of an injury in
Cured last year, and augmented in
the scrap with Illinois Wesleyan
last Saturday. Chuck tore some
tendons in his neck. He will prob
ably be out of the game foc the
majority of the remaining games.
The absence of these two men
will put the Augustana team at a
great disadvantage. Larson has
been a wall of defense in the line
for Augie for the past three seas
ons and Lincke has had two years
experience at end.
This will necessitate a shifting
of the Swede's lineup. Coach
Swedberg will shift Ollie Peterson
from left guard to Larson's posi-
ton. at right tackle, and put Len
Carlson at left guard. Carlson has
been showing up we'll in practice
and tomorrow will get his first
chance to show his worth in a real
game.
Another new face will also be
seen in the Augie lineup at the in
itial whistle. Swedberg will start
Sherman, Rock Island product
at right end. replacing Andreen
Sherman played with Rock Island
high school for two seasons, ant
apparently has genuine football
ability. His size is his only handi-
cap. In practice, however, he has
demonstrated that he can tackle as
we'll as any member of Swedberg's
crew, and he also smears the in
reference.
Whether Augustana can slip ovei
| a victory on the Monmouth war
riors with this rejuvenated lineu.
is a question. The players, while
chagrined with the loss Of two Of
their mates, are still confident to
morrow's battle will spell victor,
number one. This kind Of seif-re
lance and self-confidence has VOL
MANY a game, so nere's hoping.

Captain Alexander Of the Jeffs is
making the most of the chance to
condition his men on tho scene of

ter must beat the Independents to

BY Ill HUGHES.

The combination passing and
running game ID worked almost to
perfection by the Rochester Jeffs.
according to those fortunate fans
from Rock Island. who witnessed
the JETS memorable battle with the
Chicago Bears last Sunday.
Deceptive maneuvers designed to
keep the other side guessing on
every play feature both the line
smashing and aerial attack. Bob
Argus, terrific line plunger. is said
to be a great passer also. Against
the Bears he received the ball on
q direct pass from center and in
variably crossed up the Bears de-
tense by running when q pass was
anticipated or by passing when the
opposing team suspected a line
play. The scouts report that Argus
seemed to decide the kind Of play
after he had the ball in hand and
continually had the Bears guessing.
Helping along this kind Of attack
was the other Rochester halfback,
Dick french OF the Army. The
Bears are said to have been unable
to guess whether pass or a run
was coming when either Of these
two received the ball.
Aerial Defense.
That Rochester has well
planned defense against forward
passes was also shown. The Bears,
in spite of their speed behind the
line OF scrimmage. were able to
complete only two passes out Of nu-
merous attempts, while Rochester
| worked number of them success
/ fully. On one occasion when Sc
ries Of line smashes and passes car
ried the Rochesters to the Bears
| S-yard line, a pass was attempted
with much the same result thai
caused SO much complaint in the
Bears contest with Rock Island
when young Sternaman is alleged
to have blocked off the receiver il.
legally. The ball at the time was
sailing over the line and seemed
destined to come to rest in the arms
of the receiver behind the line fol
touchdown.
| With such a man as Argus tt
pass the ball and the peerless Eddie
Anderson of Notre Dame on the re
ceiving end. it would seem tina
Rock Island is in for an uncom
Portable afternoon Sunday. Beside.
