OHIO STATE IS NO
 LONGER E.z. MARX
Team Nay Not Win, But It VIII
 Go Down Fighting
(By Billy Evans) Ohio State is back among the elect


 Ohio State is back among the elect in Fig Ten" football circles.
 After being kicked around for couple of years the Scarlet and Gray athletes are once more in the run ming.
 The tie game with Chicago, which State seemed to have won until the last 30 seconds of play, definitely as- tablished Coach Jack Wilce's eleven as a title contender.
 Ohio State, after several jean years, is no longer soft picking. Any team that defeats State will know that it has been in a real football game.
 Perhaps this isn't Ohio States year to win championship but take it from me Wice's team is going to have considerable to say about the title honors.
 Experts Arc Dubious
 No doubt there are some experts whi will scoft at this viewpoint, pointing to the fact that State in four games has scored only 20 points. lacks a punch and therefore is not a great team.
 True, State hasn't run up big total but it's opponents have scored less. Until Curley, the Chicago substitute, kicked field goal in the last 30 seconds of play, State had not been scored on this year.
 Ohio State is one of the very few major colleges in the country that has not had it's goal-line crossed.
 Nationals Lacked Punch.
 Washington in the American league lacked batting punch but managed to win pennant and world championship, It did so by holding the opposition to fewer runs. That's States system, fewer points.
 A great defense that can keep the opposition from scoring doesn't need much of an offense to be a winner.
 Chicago, a team with a recognized strong offensive, came to Columbus expecting a decisive victory. It was lucky to get a tie.
 Incidentally Ohio State kept Chi cago in check minus two of it's best players, karow and Young. Narrow, star fullback and great defensive player, was in the game only few minutes. Young just trifle over one period.
 Ohio State showed me fleet back in Klee. karow, in the few minutes he played, proved his great worth.
 Jenkins Great Tackle
 This is supposed to be a poor year for ends but in Cunningham and Wilson, State Is well fortified
 I had been told that State lacked ia long forward passer. That was bad dope. Cunningham losses the ball a great distance and is accurate, In practice l saw him throw the ball from the center of the field over the goal posts, seemingly without any great effort.
 ] However. no player on the Ohio State team impressed me more than Tackle Junkins. Playing his first year, he acted like a veteran. He was in every play. mountain on i defense.
 1 Unless am badly mistaken Jen- kins bids fair to be one of the great est tackles ever turned out at State.
 Opponents looking on Ohio State as easy picking because of past per formances during 1922 and 1923 had better beware.

Evening the count in the last 30 seconds of play with field goal is just like seeing your favorite ball player, with the count three and two, two out and the bases filled, crack out a home run that ties up or wins the old ball game. That's what happened in the Ohio State Chicago game.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-31

That no football game is over un- til the shrill whistle of the official or the crack of the pistol announces that time is up, was proved beyond a doubt in the Chicago Ohio State tilt.
 For three periods the two clubs had played to sCoreess tie. First one, then the other, would enjoy the advantage as far as ground gaining efforts were concerned.
 Always. however, when the goal of either team was threatened, some thing would happen to prevent 8 score. Either the defense would stiffen or some player would tumble the ball to have the opposition re- cover it.
 In the final period, after six minutes of play, Klee of Ohio State kicked beautiful field goal. The resultant three points seemed big enough to decide the game.
 Chicago. refusing to concede de- feat, kept hammering away at States line, but invariably faltered in the crisis.
 With only 30 seconds to play, fourth down and about eight yards to go, Coach Stagg of Chicago rushed in a substitute, who pro- ceeded to kick a field goal, evening the count.
 Two more plays and the game was over.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-31

Only the quitter fails. The fight CT always has a chance. State took the lead because the spirit of the club refused to be beaten, despite the fact that several stars were in- jured. Chicago escaped defeat be- cause it kept on trying.
 Incidentally the game showed how quickly and easy it is to create hero. In about five seconds of actual play, and only 30 seconds be- fore the close of the game, Curley, for three years an unknown Chicago substitute, became the college hero.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-31

A million thrills were crowded into that last 30 seconds of play. I enjoyed a few of them myself.
 For the first three downs of the play every State partisan was pull ing for Wilce's team to hold Chi cago. It did
 It was a great relief to States followers when the board showed Chicago had eight yards to go. The disappointment was equally keen for Chicago.
 Then came the final play, the fourth down, which gave to Chicago the joy that came to State as the line held in the first three downs as CurIcy kicked a field goal.

The Davis dipper has belonged
to the United States so long
they want to put it in Indepen-
dence Hall along with the crack
ed Liberty Bell.
Eighteen opposing countries
sent word to the gang that if
America was to be in the tour
nament they would just save
travelling expenses by staying
home.
And the minute Bill Tilden
wrote that smart young edi-.
torial to the board of strategy
you ought to have seen those
unheard-of countries cable their
Davis Cup lineup And they
sent those cables COLLECT, too.
What Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb
and Walter Johnson are to base
ball, .Tilden is to tennis although
that comparison is insufficient
for the want Of fewer words
to say it.
If it weren't for Tilden, those
very officials who bawled him
out wouldn't have. any stationary
on which to write their repri-
mand. There wouldn't be any
U. S. L. T. A., which isn't a
broadcasting station but acts
like it was.
Tilden is the guy who made
tennis important enough to have
an association. Now they think
they can get along without him
and start telling him what,
when, how and where.
