THRILLS EXPECTED
IN BIG Ten GAMES

CHICAGO, November 1. - Open.
spectacular play is more than likely
to feature the principal Big Ten foot
ball games Saturday. when teams
turn into their final string of i'm
portant contests. Reports from the
training camps indicate that coaches
are polishing up their forward pass
offense.
Although several beams have dis
played their ability. to gain ground
through the aerial goute, use of the
pass has been somewhat restricted,
due to it's hazardous nature. When
the games become hard fought, as
they do in midseasop, the call for an
open game becomes stronger.
Illinois has demonstrated its ability
in a passing game, and is expected to
be prepared to open up on Chicago
should the need arise Saturday. The
Maroons, in turn, ara known to have
a training that fits them to resort to
open play as a ground gaining means
Michigan is regarded as certain to
open up against Iowa. The Wolver-
ines have for years had a polished
aerial attack as a constant threat.
Coach Yost has been emphasizing this
style of play in preparing for the
Iowa contest. Iowa, in turn, has a
passing offensive that proved effec-
tive in the earlier games.
The last hard scrtmmages of the
week are scheduled: for this after
noon, with tomorrows training period
in each camp to be devoted to signal
drill and the running of plays.

AND SOLDIERS
NERVOUS OVER GAME
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK, November 1-Yale
meets the Army at New Haven Sat
urday, and as both Harvard and
Princeton have games which will give
them an opportunity to release one or
two of their players for a look at
their dangerous rivals. there will be
several experts. in addition to the
regular squad of scouts, in the Yale
with great interest. They should see
a hard game.
Both Yale and Army are somewhat
worried as to the results of that
struggle on their future contests
Yale with Princeton and Harvard and
Army with Navy. Both teams depend
upon the power of their lines to open
holes, and this means hard, pounding
work, which may eliminate some of
their stars from future combat.
Both will, of course, essay the for
ward pass, but neither relies very
largely on deceptive plays with a man
swung loose outside the tackle.
West Point will have some diff
Guilty stopping Neale's slant runs. But,
on the other hand. Wood of the Army
probably will have the better of Ste
vens in the punting duel, and Smythe
is likely to run back some punts on
Yale-especially If the wind is favor
ing the punt so that the ball beats the
ends down the field.
If Yale learned the lesson she
should have from the last part of the
Bucknell game, she should stop the
long forward passes better. But
French worked them on her last year,
and unless the line hurries the passer
more than it has so far, he may do it
again.

How Foot Ball Is Played
BY SOL METZGER-
HIGH punt is likely to bound

A HIGH punt is likely to bound
either forward or backward,
and we have seen a low-kicked
ball bound backward when it struck
the field. In nearly all cases this is
q matter of luck. If the ball hap
pens to strike certain way it will
rebound backward-that is, toward
the kicker.
Many experiments have been tried by
coaches to work out a system whereby
backspin could be impaired to a ball.
The idea in mind is to kick one so it
drops near an opponents goal line.
which most opposing catchers will let
drop in the hope it will roll over the
line for a touchback, and then have
1t rebound into the field Of play.
No one has solved the problem with
any consistency. The theory applied to
kicking a ball for this result Is to have
1t struck underneath the forward point
with the toe. This gives the ball an up
and over backward motion in flight, and
causes it to rebound backward. No two
balls are alike, and no two kicks strike
exactly alike, so the element of luck
controls the bounce.
Interesting experiments have been
tried on kick-offs. Years ago, George
Woodruff, the old Yale guard, coaching
at Penn, worked out a boomerang
kickoff. He teed the pall with its long
axis at right angles to the direction of
the kick. If the ball was kicked with
the right foot with a sort Of pidgeon-
toed swing. third the distance from
it's right end, it would go down the
field some ten or fifteen yards in spin
ming motion and then come back. No
player could kick it that way consist
emily, so 1t was given up. Woodruf's
idea was to recover kick-offs. On
such a play. after the ball has gone ten
yards, the kicking team is eligible to
recover 1t.

TITLE SWIM Event
LOST TWO SEASONS

CHICAGO, Nocember Lost and
forgotten through the national cham
pionships of two years the half-mile
swim title of the National Amateur
Athletic Union was the object of a
search by local officials after discov-
cry by the program makers for next
season that the event had been lost
during the competition of 1922 and
1928.
The event was assigned to the
Southern Pacific Athletic Union, for
1923 was not run off. Delving fur
ther into the blank past, officials
found the 1922 half mile among the
missing. AS result there were no
champions in the event during the
two years.
Sponsors of new plan to hold the
National Amateur Athletic Union
swimming championships for all
events simultaneously in one great
tank tourney have seized the missing
swimS as an argument in behalf of
their suggestion. Under the present
arrangement the championships are
decided separate events at scattered
points between Honolulu and Bangor.
The one-big- swim idea will be pre-
sented at the annual convention of
the National Amateur Athletic Union
in Detroit, beginning November IS,
according to present plans.

this year. That came in it's Notre
Dame contest, but as the Hoosiers
whipped Princeton one week later by

since 1922. Only three first-string
