BIG CHIEFS TO
CONTEST BEARS

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-THE great
est gathering of American Indians
on one football team since Car
Isle passed out of existence will
visit Chicago tomorrow afternoon
to tackle the Bears at the Cub
park. The members of the fam
GUS Oorang Indians are picked ath-
letes from all sections of the coun-
try, and they were selected for
their gridiron prowess by Jim
Thorpe himself, coach of the squad.
Kickoff tomorrow is scheduled for
2:15, rain or shine. The largest
crowd of the season is expected to
view what is likely to be the most
picturesque game here in years.
Thorpe will do some punting before
the. battle and several Dakota In
dams will put on a dance.
Many of the men still use their
Indian names, given to them at
birth, such as. White Cloud, Long
Time Sleep. Eagle Feather, Earth,
Running Deer and War Eagle.
They are as proud of these names
as the royalty abroad are of their
high sounding titles.
Those who have seen Thorpe's
Indians in action say they give a
high grade of gridiron entertain
ment. They do not resort to one
particular style of the game, but
keep constantly changing their at
tack, trying with great cunning to
pick openings and flaws in the OPP
position. They have been drilling
for many weeks under Thorpe,
himself master mind ip football.

The same procedure will obtain

advantage of seeing each of her
great rivals in a crucial game.
With two such closely matched
teams, the possibility Of withhold

and the Eli scouts will be enabled
to dope out on what they saw to-
day fair line on the general STRAIT

Crimson and the Orange and Black.
The final. advantage of the schedule.
however, probably will lie with
Harvard and she will have two
weeks to recover from possible in
juries and perfect new line of Of
tense and defense before she meets
the bulldog and also will have the
advantage next Saturday of seeing
her opponent try out attack and
defense against a rival whose
strength she already has tested.
Princeton was enabled to see
Harvard at full strength and will
be equally Handicapped in this re-
spect when she meets Yale next
week, but it may be taken for
granted that Bill Roper the Tiger
mentor, is not by any means ignor-
ant of the general policy of attack
and defense of Fisher and Jones.
The next two weeks the scrubs
come into their own. Playing on

imizes the value of a second team
thoroughly grounded in the rudi-
ments of the game and able to
learn and execute enemy plays at
almost a moments notice. The
wise director of football play uses
his second team not only as a trial
horse and a club, but as spur to
; the individual endeavors of his
, first string men.

CARDS STRESS
FORWARD PASS

Chicago, Nov. 11.-One more re-
hearsal with emphasis on the for
ward pass and Paddy Driscolps un-
defeated Chicago Cardinals will be
all set for their clash with the Ak
ron Indians, who come to Comis-
key park tomorrow afternoon for
what promises to be one Of the
hardest fought gridiron struggles
of the season. The Cardinals will
be out early this afternoon putting
on the finishing touches. for in Ak
ron they meet veteran machine
which in its last two league con-
tests has totaled "a points.
In shaping up for this game the
Cardinals have built new aerial at
tacks around Driscoll, Johnny Mo-
hardt and Eddie Anderson. the 1921
captain and crack end Of the Notre
Dame university team. Owing to
the great strength Of the Akron
line, the Cardinals will concentrate
their Offensive on the overhead
route.

3. UNDEFEATED
ten TEAmSI IN
ACTION TODAY
Nevertheless, the Clean Records
Are Threatened by the
UnderdOgS.

Chicago, sNov. 11.-Three of the
four dndefeated football teams of
the western conference - Chicago,
Wisconsin and Iowa-go into battle
today with teams now outside the
championship running. but never
the less dangerous to the title as
pirations of the Big Ten leaders. :.
Chicago meets Ohio State in the
Buckeyes new stadium at Column
bus, Ohio, while Wisconsin and
Iowa are resisting invasion of their
bailiwicks by Illinois and Mime
sofa, respectively.
Football experts are too wise, in
gridiron lore and knowledge of the
fighting ability of the, Buckeyes,
Illini and Gopherk to predict any
thing easy today for their unde-
feated opponents. Instead. they
consider the possibilities oesdefeats
for one OR more of the leaders, who
then would probably be eliminated
from the chase for the title.
General interest throughout the
conference is fairly evenly divided
between the three big conflicts to-
day The intense rivalry between
the Maroons and Buckeyes. the
strained relations between Illinois
and Wisconsin as "a result of the
ineligibiIity squahble, and the fight
Iowa is making to retain the Big
Ten title won last year adds to the
interest in the decisive engage
ments today.
Michigan, fourth member of the
undefeated quartet, has an idle
day.
Northwestern and Purdue clash
before hC>lecoming crowd at Ev-
anston, both teams hoping to an
mex at least one victory before the
curtain drops on Big Ten football.
Indiana, defeated last Saturday
by Notre Dame the Army's foe to-
day, plays another conference out

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1.-THE
work of the football coaches of the
country from today until the final
game will be- devoted largely to
that dominant development OF the
1922 season-defense.
The offensive campaign of the
majority of the teams has already
been mapped. although the lines of
those maps are subject to extern
sion. From now on, however, the
coach who hopes to be successful
must think and plan not only along
his own lines but along the lines
of his opponent in the crucial
games to come.
He must foresee and anticipate
the plans of his rivals, and for a
time at least he must think as the
other coach would think and with
those thoughts as a basis lay out a
plan of defense which will check
mate possible attacks
The eyes through which he must
view the enemy's plan are his as
sistant coaches, his substitutes and
the first string players he can spare
from today's lineup and the all-im-
pOrtant scrubs. Consequently all
of these were busy today charting
plays on enemy fields and all will
be still buster in the next week.
Cambridge furnished an excellent
example. Yale has still to play
both Harvard and Princeton. AS
