Grange Always Has Just 4 Little
 Bit More For He Final Effort
He Can Outrun and Also Out-Guess His Oppon- ents, That's Why He
 Stars, Says Coach Stagg.

Chicago, Oct. ?S.--While the foot ball fan in fhe grandstand thinks that Red" Grange is merely outrun- ming his opponents for the long string of touchdowns which have made the Illinois player famous, Coach A. A. stagg, of the University of Chicago, believes that Grange succeeds by outguessing his Yould- be tacklers.
 Stagg, who has coached football teams for 30 years, said today that Oranges Judgment of the situation Impressed him in an early season game last year.
 T knew then that he was a most remarkable football player" the 62 year old dean of the Big Ten" said.
 Grange is not tearing along at breakneck speed all the time. Quite the contrary. He changes his pace to suit the conditions. When he is 10 outrun somebody, he is able to do so. He always has something left for that big effort. and invari- ably he knows when 1t is time to mako that big effort.
 '"That judgment, that Knowledge of just what to do, and just when to do 1t, is, in my opinion Oranges greatest asset"

Ohio State Thinks It Has Developed a Defense Which Grange Will Be Unable to Penetrate.

Chicago, Oct 2s.-While "Stop Grange" is the slogan of every Big Ten" football coach, few have been successful in turning the trick.
 Coach Wilcc of Ohio State has had more success in building up de- fense for Grange than any other western conference mentor.
 In the all-important game at Ohio State last year, which Illinois won by the close score of to O, the ex- poits of Grange were mighty few and far between.
 No doubt Wilce is banking on again upsetting the dope in the clash of his Ohio State team with Illinois. He believes that he can bottle up the Illinois star.
 Nebraska is the only team that has played Illinois in the last two years that has prevented Grange from running wild and scoring one or more touchdowns.
 The two games with Nebraska have been played on an early date and no doubt Grange was held back to certain extent.
 Another thing, the heavy Nebras- ka line outcharged Illinois and made it difficult for Grange to get started.

General Haldeman was stricken with a heart attack at Churchill Downs yesterday and died within half an hour.

IngVerson yS zeppke as Mentors

Chicago, Oct. oS.-The outstand- ing western conference football game this week--the IlIinois-Iowa contest at Urbana, Hl.-will see pupil summoning all that he learned un- der a veteran mentor and all his own strategy in a great attempt to down the greatest player of many stars developed by the older coach.
 Burt Jngwerson, who replaced Howard Jones at Iowa after stellar playing on the Illinois eleven and two years as freshman coach at Urbana. is pointing his Hawkeye charges towards their great task of stopping "Rcd" Grange and his 10 helpers in the plays taught by little Bob Zuppke.
 Ingwerson knows Zuppke's sys- tenn and has had excellent oppor- tunity to study Grange. Conference opinion is that if the Illini are to be tumbled from their present leader ship in the chase for the Big Ten championship a combination of cir cumstances, not excluding II pow crful players, affords Iowa and Ing werson a golden chance.

unexpected defeat by a large score Of Williams, conqueror of Cornell, When seemingly about to repeat his triumph at Harvard, Haughton died.
 He had been a star baseball and football player at Harvard before taking up coaching at Cornell. After two years Of service there he enter cd business.

 In 1916 he left Harvard to accept the presidency Of the Boston Nation al league baseball club. Two years later he entered the service as a ma jor in the chemical corps.

 Lou Young's Tribute.
 Philadelphia, Oct. 2S-Lou Young, football coach at the University of Pennsylvania, today paid the fol- lowing tribute to Percy Haughton:
 "Haughton was one Of the out standing football coaches in the country. He knew the game thor oughly and was one Of the smartest grid mentors that I know of. His personality was of the highest type and above all he was one of the squarest sportsmcn that it has ever been my pleasure to come in contact with.
 Not only is this a severe loss to Columbia, but the sport in general has lost one of its greatest figures Haughton always was the first one to congratulate a winner, taking his defeats with the same grace as in victory. He was one of the first to congratulate the Pennsylvania team on its splendid victory over Colum- bia week ago last Saturday"

Penn State Sets Up New
 But Cnenviable Record

Slate College, Pa, Oct. 2S.-The Penn State football team has com piled what is believed 10 be. a new but unenviable record in the last two games played. Georgia Tech and Syracuse on two successive Sat urdays were able to register a com bined total Of only two first downs against the stonewall defense Of the Nittany Lions, yet in both cases Penn State was defeated. Without making single first down, Georgia Tech won l5 to 13, while Syracuse. with only two frs; downs. won 10 10 6.
 Costly fumbles with the breaks going to the opposing team have been responsible for this unusual state of affairs, the coaches said.

o7ASEBALL,S BIGGEST DEAL OF YEARS HAS BEEN PUT OVER

Southworth and Nicholson in the Braves. Grimm was purchased the same year from Birmingham of the Southern Association. Cooper came to Pittsburgh in 1912 from Colum- bus, of the American Association. He has the reputation of being one of the best lefthanders in the league and was one of the few hurlers in the National league to win twenty games last season.
 Manager McKechnie, declared that it was because of the dissatisfy- irg showing of power made by the team last season that he recom- mended the acquisition of new and younger blood. While the Pirates were sorry to lose Maranville. Me- Kechnie declared it took the Rab- bit to swing the deal,
 McKechnie will revamp his entire lineup next year. Eddie Moore, ob- tained from Atlanta in 1922, will play second base, the brilliant show ing of the youthful star in the latter half of the season standing him as deserving~of a place in the regular lineup. Grantham will be used in the outfield.

 ference Important
(Ry Billy Evans

"On the gridiron too much credit goes to the player carrying the ball"
 Knute Rockne, famous Notre Dahe coach, made that remark to me a year ago while we were dis cussing some of the individual per- formances of outstanding stars.
 If a team has fleet back who can take advantage of the oppor- tunities largely made possible by his teammates, 10 that individual goes most Of the glory for a teams suc- cess" continued Rockne.
 Tt isn't right, but probably will always be that way, since it's the player who makes the touchdown rather than the athlete who paves the way that breaks into the head lines"

 New York, Oct. 2S.-Arrange- ments for the funeral of Percy D. Haughton, head football coach at Columbia and creator of the Haugh- ton system still in use at Harvard, who died suddenly yesterday from heart trouble induced by acute in- digestion, will be made today.
 Saturdays Game.
 Officials of Columbia will also decide today whether or not the con- test scheduled with Cornell at Ithaca next Saturday, and games with later opponents, including Army, New York university and Syracuse will be played. It is gen. erally assured that pr. Paul With ington, line coach and medical ad- wiser of the squad, will take charge If gridiron work continues.
 Authorities at Cornell, communi- ested with last night by the athletic committee Of Colum bia, replied that they would be governed entirely by the wishes of Columbia in regard to Saturdays game. It is thought that If the contest with its chief rival, Cornell. is cancelled, that the Colum- bia team will be disbanded for the season.
 Dramatic Death.
 Haughton's death came dramati- cally just after the impressive per formance of his team against Will Hams last Saturday had returned him to the spotlight he occupied

New York, Oct 2s.--For the first time since 1904. when Young Cor bett and Terry McGovern moved up simultaneously to the lightweight l division, the featherweights are without q digital dictator.
 A Jewish boy, one Abraham At tell, claimed the vacated title then, was matched with Harry Forbes, won by a knockout in five rounds, and was recognized as the champion. Two Jewish boys are now claiming the title recently outgroWn by John- ny Dundee, portly spaghetti addict.
 One is Louis Kid Eaplan of Meri- Gen, Conn, emigrant from Russia. The other is Danny Kramer of Phil adelphia, hard boiled product of the Quakertown street corners.
 MT. Rickard has been crying elo- nucntly in his consomme because of dearth of logical opponents. Let him match Kramer with Kapian, and he will have the next feather weight champion.
 | kramer HardeF bIttef
 Wise eggs in Tin Ear alley tell me Kramer will beat Kaplan. Kramer is a knocEcr-out and southpaw. His left literally eXplodes in your face. l saw him bang Kid Wolfe on the whiskers several years ago. Wolfe dropped as if he had been shot, and didn't move for 10 min utes.
 week later Wolfe was rammed by an automobile and knocked un- conscious. When he came to he wanted to know what Kramer had hit him with. Wolfe himself will tell you this is no joke.
 Kaplan is a better aIl-round work man than Kramer. He is a stiff punchcr, if not a kncckcr- out, and @ better defensive fighter. It Is not hard to hit Kramer, George Chaney Baltimore lightweight, knocked him quivering not so long ago. ! None of the boys are dropping Itaplan for the count and he has mingled with the lightweights. too kaplan showed up Pal Moran worse than Benny Leonard did, and he bounced enough punches off Johnn, Shugrue's noble pan to earn the de. cision.
 Here's One Sure Bet
 You are reasonably safe in mak, ing a wager that the name of tho rtAt featherweight champion vii begin with "K."
 Kilbane was the last "K' to holt the title and Kilv was, in some re spects. a great little champion. Thi, writer never saw, for one thing, any Lody with a better onc-two punch.
 The feathcrweight division hal hCen represented at the top by mor' different nationaiities than any other fighting group.
 George Dixon, probably greates of all feathers, was q negro. 1ittl Chocolate they called him, and h. held the title on three different oc casions.

New Britain herald., 1924-10-28

Knute Rockne is one of the games greatest coaches. His fame
 will live forever. Just few
 weeks ago, Major Cavanaugh, won
 der coach of the Boston College l eleven, made similar statement to me.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-28

bOslOu IOlleSe WAS pldSlng SyTd- cuse. Coach Cavanaugh had been instructed that his players must stop Halfback Bowman if he was to have a chance.
 Bowman, fleet of foot, famed for his work in the 44O-yard collegiate runs, was .touted as the player Bos- ton College must stop.
 "The ball carrier isn't the man you have to stop" remarked Cavan- augh, You must get the fellows who make the interference, pave the way.
 If your forwards are breaking through and your ends are not being boxed a team doesn't need to fear fleet back. At least not 10 the extent generally believed.
 The line must hold, the interfer- ence must clear the way. if the star back is to strut his stuff for long runs
 Often in watching certain player too closely. one or more play CTS not so highly touted make all the trouble" Cavanaugh's predictions came true that very afternoon. Boston Col 1 lege stopped Bowman to a whisper but while it was being done, Foley and McBride got away often enough to win the game.
 Football experts and fans hand too much glory to the ball carrier.
 Tn 80 doing they lose much of ! the play, for often the work ot.the men making the interference is as thrilling as the advance of the ball carrier
 Credit is never properly dis tributod in football victory" opines Cavanaugh. Perhaps no football team in the country offers more striking it. illustration of the above truth than University of Illinois. In Grange, Illinois has one of the greatest backs of all time. He is fleet of foot, courageous and a thinker. He is deserving of great fame for his exploits. However, in the fame that goes to Grance, Nhe valiant deeds of other stars on the eleven are over i shadowed.
 Every man on the Illinois line must do his part if Grange is to run wild.
 Incidentally every man forming interference for Grange must take his man out if Red" is to step out. They usually do.
 Don't forget there are eleven men in football game.
