Of cigar stores, their faces familiar
though somewhat wooden. Now
only one cigar store Indian remains.
This one, a squaw, spoke sadly as
she consented to be interviewed.
Il am what might be called the
last of the Mohicans." said the
wooden Indian lady. striving to be
gay. u
she was asked.
Indeed! Ughl Indeed! 1t has
been a great shock to my susceptible
Sioux sensibilities-I'm a Sioux, you
see; or at least 1 was made out OF a
tree that the carpenter said used to
grow on the Sioux reservation-a
shock, I say, to see the increase in
smoking among women.
"Cigarettes! Ugh! In my day
they were called dude sticks. Now
the ladies have popularized the Gig
arctic to such an extent that the
cheroots I used to advertise-like
this mouldy bunch in my hand-are
hardly known.
Years ago there used to be a fine
young Iroquois brave standing out

street. But then they went and put
in a soda fountain and a sandwich
business on the side, and they
packed off my wooden friend to h

Aj.America Quarterback.

What is the most difficult position to
play on a football team?
The question viii most likely bring
forth many different answers. It Is only
natural that the men who have starred IN
the various positions on some OF the Dig
alnvans viii come back with strong argu-
ments for the places which they know so
much about.
1t is not so easy to say which is the
most important as they are all the coss
in d machine.
From my playing experience believe
that the quarterback should get the call

West and East
Are Booked to
Play Two Games

PALO ALTO, Cal. Nov. 29.--Two bis
games are scheduled for the coast this
season after the football gladiators in
other sections of the country have packed
their uniforms in camphor balls.
Definitely agreed upon is the game be-
tween the University OF Pittsburg and
Leland Stanford, which is scheduled to
be played at PaIo Alto Dec. 80.
Despite the fact that Stanford has
suffered several reverses interest in the
game with Pitt is widespread. 1t is GER
tain the two elevens will play to a ca
pacity crowd.
There are two outstanding reasons for
the great interest that is being shown in
the Pitt game. One is the fact that
Pittsburg is coached by Glenn Warner,
who is to become head coach at Stan
ford. This game will give the coast fans
a chance to see a real Warner team in
action.
Another reason Is the decisive manner
in which Pittsburg trounced W. & J. by
10 to score. Football fans who saw W.
& J. play California to a scoreless tie
have a wholesome respect for Neale's
team. Pitts overwhelming defeat Of that
team makes it a great attraction from
q coast viewpoint.
The other big game will be staged at
Pasadena. 1t seems certain that either
California or Southern California will
represent the coast. Some time ago 1t
was announced Penn State would be the
eastern attraction. 1t is rumored there
may be a change.

Since the start Of the season at Ohio
State Coach Wilce has been puzzled over
the quarterback situation. He has tried
out several candidates and has finally
decided on Judy as the man to digect the

High Scholastic Standing,
Judy occupies the unique position Of
being the first sophomore to be at the
helm of the Scarlet and Gray since 1915
when Howard Yerges OF Columbus won
that berth in his second year.
; Experience is all that Judy needs in
order to develop into a great quarter
back, say his football mentors. Judy has

student in his classes.
Last year he received an "M'-the
highest mark given in one-third Of his

quarters were wrong. not Sprackling.
Several times the Princeton quarter
didn't do just as Earl figured he would,
On one occasion, after SntYely had
thrown a long forward pass that was
grounded, Spracklug remarked:
That is a dangerous play. I am a
bit surprised Princeton is using it. Seems
to me the half must be nearly oyer. II
would be much wiser to get off few
line plays or end runs in slow fashion
and use up as much time as possible,
since they are out in the lead.
There is always a chance that one OF

pass is merely a weapon to use as a last
resort. If defeat seems certain, try to
stave it off with the forward pass.
Notre Dame is one of the few teams
that uses the pass more than merely a
weapon. With Coach Rockne's teams the
forward pass IS one OF his very best bets
on the offense.
Sitting next to me in the press box at
the Harvard-Priuceton game was Earl
Sprackling, one OF the greatest quarter
backs the country has ever known. Dur

RIGHT EARFUL
Princeton Lays
Claim To Grid
Title Of East

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-What team in
the east will have the best claim to the
grid honors in that section when the sea
son is over?
Supporters Of Princeton will very nat
urally lay claim to the eastern title.
Yale and Harvard as well as Chicago as
a mark Of supremacy.
Lafayete's unexpected defeat by w.
s, J. has dimmed the claims OF that
eleven. Prior to that game Lafayette
was generally regarded by the critics
as the strongest team in the east.
Had not Washington and jefferson
been trounced by Pittsburgh 70 to @.
Neale's team would have had a strong
claim to the eastern title. The defeat
by Pitt. which had lost to West Virginia
and Lafayette, has put W. & J. out of
tho running.
Unquestionably Cornell has the best
right 10 dispute the claims of Princeton.
II Cornell succeeds in defeating Penn IL
will have a clear slate for the season
and will insist on at least q tie with
Princeton for the eastern honors.
Cornell's schedule has been rather easy
in comparison with Princeton. Colgate,
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania are the
only teams the Cornell schedule
worth while. The Tigers on the other
hand have beaten two of the best teams
in the east in Yale and Harvard, and one
of the best in the west, in Chicago. In
addition Princeton has beaten Colgate il
the east and Virginia and Maryland in
the south.

ANY man could call signals and our po-
sitfons were frequently alternated. Each
back field man knew the signals for
these different places and in changing
the men during a, game we would some
times get the opposition up in the air
especially when. they thought they had
our signals for certain plays.
The field general as we will now call
him. must be cool-headed. He must have
nv his coach. Confidence in himself is
also a bis factor. Unless man has con-
ftdeuce in his own ability he will not
succeed in any line of work.
Roberts Real Star.
IN going back to the field generals
knowledge Of the ability Of the individual
r1ayers I viii illustrate with Red Roberts
~ Centre, Our team used the material
at hand TO better advantage than any
team I know Of. You have often read
where Red played several different posi-
tons in one game. In Roberts we had
a versatile player who played all posi-
tions we'll. Many coaches would have
been satisfied with playing Red in one
position and letting him stay there. But
xrhv lose the real value Of a player of
this type?
His regular place last year was left
end. When we were to make an attack
TO the right would bring Roberts in
the back field and shift a light halfback
TO take his place at end. Here he would
be used to make interference for the run
ner, OftimeS when this was done tho
opposition would expect a line buck by
Red and I would call forward pass and
they would be taken OFF their feet and
good gain would result.
The shifting Of players such as I have
described will keep your opponents ON
the defensive all the time and If the field
general knows his men and will use them
to the best advantage he can make many
eood gains.
