BEST GRID PLAY
BY SOL METZGER
Copyright. 1922, Sol Metgger.

Team wins toss at start OF game.
Should it kick off or receive? Condi-
tions governing the choice here vary
largely on account of the weather.
But experience has proved time after
time that the best play is to kick Oft,
unless a hard wind is blowing. Then
a team should take the wind at its
back, leaving the choice of receiving
or kicking off to the opponent. The
reason is quite clear why a team
should elect to. kick off. All that is
necessary to place the play in the OPP
ponent's territory is to kick off. Few
kick-offs are returned beyond the 80
yard line.
Now a team at the start of a game
is nervous and If it possesses the ball
well down in it's own territory the
chances are that it is not going to
gain much ground. In the first place
its attack is somewhat limited, for it
is foolish to attempt forward passes
here, as the risk is too great. The
team kicking off should hold its OPP
ponant and force it to punt. When
It has received the ball the nervous
ness has worked off and it is in a
position to attack from near mid-field.
The break of the game is all its way.
More games are lost by choosing
to receive a Kickoff than in any other
way. Don't start the game with the
ball in your own territory If you can
avoid it by kicking off.

Triple Tie May Happen
in Western Conference;
lowa-C hicago-M Michigan
Howard Jones Team Appears to Be Best Bet
With Ohio and Northwestern Left
as Opponents

Chicago. Nov. 12.-(By The Associ-
ated Press).-A triple tie for the
western conference football champion
ship between Michigan, Chicago and
Iowa was the most prominent possi-
,bifity on the football horizon tonight as
a result of Illinois 3 to o victory over
the heretofore undefeated Wisconsin
team yesterday.
Iowa passed another barrier in de-
feating Minnesota, % to IA, while Chi
cago was scoring a IA to 8 victory over
Ohio State. Michigan was idle but
Northwestern won its first conference
game in two years by defeating Purdue
"a to 13. and Indiana lost "a to 0,
TO West Virginia, this being the only
inter-sectional game of the day in
yolving a conference team.
Iowa's chances at present appear
better than those of either of her
rivals.
Ohio and Northwestern, two of the
weaker Big Ten e~levens, are the re-
naming barriers to 1owa's champion
ship hopes. Chicago has yet to meet
two dangerous opponents in Illinois and
Wisconsin while Michigan meets Wis
consin and Minnesota. On form to date
the leaders should all emerge victor
ious, although Chicago probably will
be extended in both games and Michi-
gan will find Wisconsin a dangerous
rival.
Wisconsin, eliminated from the front
rank, may finally decide the champion
ship for every team beaten by the
Badgers from now on will eliminate
a championship contender. The Car
dinals will face Michigan at Ann Arbor
next Saturday. Michigan having the
advantage of two weeks rest and a
thorough knowledge Of plays illinois
forced Wisconsin to meow Saturday.
Chicago. which faces Illinois. will
take no chances with the Him al

logical winner. The prosperity OF

a good team, regardless of the
calibre of Illinois material, will keep

Judging by past performances. Iowa
should have little difficulty in handling

good showing made by the Buckeyes

CORN HUSKERS
HAVE TRIANGLE
HOLDONCROWN
Victory Over Kansas Makes
Nebraska to Be
Feared.

Kansas City. Nov. 12.-Nebraska's
victory over Kansas by q % to O score
Saturday leaves them with almost q
strange hold on the Missouri valley
conference football championship this
season. Two-thirds of the season is
over and the Cornhuskers. both in vic
tories won and the brand of football
played have shown themselves an ag-
gregation to be feared by any school
in the conference.
The Nebraska title is still technically
disputed by the Kansas Aggies and by
Drake. Neither Of these teams has
lost q game but the Drake eleven has
not had a schedule that would test it's
mettle as has Nebraska nor have her
victories been gained by the scores
that were piled up by the Cornhuskers.
The Kansas Aggies also remained I'm
defeated but two tied games cut con
siderably into their championship pos
sibilities.
The only upset in the dope yester-
day and that was slight, was the vic
tory of Oklahoma over Missouri. 1t
was the Sooners' first victory and from
past performances she was not rated to
get the long end of the IS to II count
against the Tigers.
The Kansas Aggies were counted
slightly ahead Of Ames as the Iowa
state college had met defeat at the
hands Of two other conference teams,
but the II to 2 score was somewhat
more lopsided than was expected.
Three allconference game are on
the program next Saturday. One of
them, the Kansas Aggies-Nebraska
struggle at Lincoln. will finally decide
the leadership of two undefeated elev-
ems. Should the Aggies pull out with a
victory it would make them conference
leaders, but this is considered unlikely
by football followers. The Grinnell-
Drake contest at Des Moines may
eliminate Drake from the top of the
percentage column but otherwise will
have little effect on the standing of
the teams.
Missouri university will meas Wash
ington at Columbia.

Fifteen years ago college life %statis-

and especially oarsmen, were excep-

been surprising in view of the fact that
rowing over the four mile course-the
championship distance until recently
was an extremely severe test OF en-
durance. But of course only the best
men in college. physically, could make
the crews. They had a good chance to
live long in the first place. The same
thing is true of all successful athletes.
Without especial physical qualifications
and strong hearts they wouldn't have
been successful.
In recent years Investigations by the
life insurance companies have shown
that there is a hazard attached to hard

letics. Foot racing, football, basket ball
and other sports INDUCED in by school
boys are beneficial unless followed to
an extreme.
Unfortunately the desire to win com
petitions often makes the coaches
forget that primarily athletic sports
are intended to build up boys. The re-
suit is n heart strain that no fast

I have known Of many cases in which
boys about to enter college have been
