Independent
Basketball
Being Urged

The amateur Independent basket
ball tournament for the state of
North Dakota will be held at Bis
marck this year, according to an
nouncement here. Although there
is at present not local team rep
resenting Bismarck in the state in
dependent circles it is thought there
will shortly be one and possibly two
Independent teams from Bismarck
in the field. The work of organ
izing the amateur independent teams
of the state will probably meet with
the same degree of success in North
Dakota as it has in other states. It
lis an organized move among indie
pendent teams. Anyone interested in
forming an independent team and
entering the race for the champion
ship of North Dakota should call Lee
Scroggins. A meeting will be held
in the near future and the project
explained and a tentative schedule
arranged. The following men have
been suggested as candidates for
Bismarck: ThoraIdson, McPhec,
Donovan. Nathan. Livdahl, O'Hare
Rhud. Sorlien, Scroggins.

ITALIAN LAD
MAKES BID
FOR CROWN
By NEA Service.
Nnw ORLEANS

New Orleans, Nov. 21.-Gntil
Harry Greb came along Johnny Will
son of Boston held the middleweight
championship. Wilson's real name
is Panca. He is an Italian. Wilson
was the first Italian to hold the mid
dleweight championship.
There is a possibility that another
Italian will move into the middle
weight throne room in the near flu
ture. His name is Young Marullo
and he is native Of this city.
Marullo has come forward with
leaps and bounds, and is considered
one Of the most formidable men in
the division.
Some months ago he battered Bry-
an Downey into submission here. At
one time Downey was good enough
to share with Wilson the middle
weight honors of the country.
Against Marulio he looked like Il
second-rater.
In his big time debut Marullo
pounded Billy Britton Of Kansas to
pieces. But for an injured hand the
local man surely would have stopped
him. And Britton up to that time
was stepping high, wide and hand
some.
Marullo will face Paul Berlenbach
in Madison Square Garden this win
ter and if he gets by this rugged
puncher he will be in line for the big
gest matches the middleweight divi-
sion has to offer.
Marullo is heavy hitter himself.
The bout between the Italian and
Berlenbach should be replete with
heavy cannon fire. It was recently
postponed but will be held later in
the season.

Shift Plays Are Losing Favor With Coaches


As | recall it. Coach Rockne of No
tire Dame didn't use the shift in the
second half, in order to eliminate
the constant pickering over its leg
atty.
Officials Penalizcd Iowa Eleven
In the recent game between Iowa
and Illinois, the shift was once more
a subject for argument. Iowa, on its
first play of the game, gained nine
yards on a shift play.
The officials penalized Iowa for
failure to come to stop after the
shift, insisting they were in motion
all through the play.
AS Coach Ingwersen said after the
game, most of lowa's deception was
in the shift. and that the failure of
the officials to o. X. it, simply put
his team into the air.
Ingwerscn. a pupil OF Zuppke
learned much of his knowledge of the
shift from the famous Illinois coach
Luppke Has Passed Shift Up
1t was, noticeable that Zuppke' s
team did not once resort to the Shift
against Iowa. 1t was favorite me-
thod of deception for Zuppke's teams.
Here is how he explained it after the
game.
"The shift play is all right but you
can't get all the officials to see it
the same way.
'ln one game a certain set of Off
Gals will approve such methods. In
! your very next game different set
of officials will declare the shift ille-
gal.
"A team is constantly gambling
with the officials in using the Shift
play. If the officials disapprove of
1t, your team is up in the air.
ANY shit that is open to question
by the officials is no longer in favor
with me. The possibilities are not
| worth the gamble"

The passing of the shift play in
football is a possibility.
A score of years back DR.. Williams
Minnesota shift.
1t was new and novel departure.
The running of plays from a loose
line proved decidedly disconcerting
to the opposition.
The Minnesota shift gained much
fame for DR.. Williams and many vic
tories for Minnesota.
In recent years there have been
many celebrations on the shift Each
coach with his own original ideas
worked out various original forma-
tons to battle the opposition.
When Georgia Tech was meeting
with such success under the coaching
of John Heisman, much of the teams
deception was based on plays run
from shift formations.
The Famous Hcisman Shift
The legality of the Heisman shift
as used by Georgia Tech was much
questioned. Opposing teams con
tended that the rules of the game
off-side play in particular. were be-
ing constantly violated
Next in line was Knute Rochne
with a number of freak shifts that
were executed quickly, bewildering
the opposition and making big gains
easy.
Four or five years ago, in game
between the Army and Notre Dame
Major DAILY. then coach at West
Point, disputed often with the off
! Gals over Notre Danes shift.
A number Of times he came on the
field to argue the legality Of the play
The game was held up By many argu-
| ments.

Billy Evans Says

That youth will be served is an
old adage in sport.
1t failed to hold good in major
league baseball last season.
The veteran Walter Johnson, old
est pitcher in the big show, emerg
ed the hero from the world series,
after having failed in his first two
starts.
Washington two aged southpaws
as baseball goes, George Mogridgc
and Tom Zachary, saved the series
foi the Senators by their rather I'M
expected superb pitching.
About five years ago the New
York Yankees cut loose with Mog-
ridge-figured he was through.
They have regretted the deal that
sent him to Was hington many
times.
With Walter Johnson, the veteran
Feckinpaugh at short for Washing
ton carried off most Of the series
honors. While Peckinpaugh didn't
win the series, his batting and field
ing kept the Senators from beng
beaten bcforu the seventh game ar
rived.
In the recent world series the
veterans of the game were very
much in evidence. True, the youth
full LindStrom played remarkably
well at third for the Giants, and
the recruit Marberry shone as re-
lief pitcher for Washington.
In. Il "a
Stanley Harris, prevailed over the
old master. John McGraw. Yet the
veterans, Johnson and Peckinpaugh,
stood out.
What was true of the world
series, holds good for the regular
playing season!

Despite advanced age and the

In the National League, DaZzy
Vance, far from being u youngster,
was the leading pitcher Of that

SEWANEE WINS
 OPENING GAME
Tigers Beat Pennsylvania
 By Score Of 27 To o

SEWANEFj, Tenn., Sept. 20.-(Spe. cial. .)-Sewanee defeated Pennsylvania college in the first game O. tine season, 27 to O, scoring once in each quarter. The sultry weather slowed. up the players, and there was considerable ragged work and some fumbling on the part of both teams. Pennsylvania made two first downs, both on passes, one for 15 and one for 30 yards. Sewanee tried few passes, working one for % yards, Mahoney to Barker, after the ball see-sawed back and forth in Tran sylvania territory. Gibbons ran 25 yards through the team for the Tigers first score. .&
 ,, Barker returned a Pennsylvania punt 15 yards. Successive bucks by Powers, Mahoney and Gibbons. and end runs by Guitar put the ball on the three yard line and Mahoney went over for the second touchdown.
 An exchange of punts gave Sewanee the ball on Transylyania' s 30-yard line, from where Mahoney ran off left tackle for the third score. After holding Pennsylvania on Sewanee's 20-yard line the Tigers worked the ball up the field, but were forced to punt and Transyl- vania had the ball on her 10-yard line. An attempt punt by Transylvanis fumbled and Cooke for the Tigers fell on the, ball for the last score. :"

.BAMBlNO AHEAD !.
 OF STEPHENSON
Walter Johnson Takes Lead In Number Of
 Games Won

Babe Ruth returned to undisputed possession of the batting honors, in the American league the past week, dis placing Stephenson of Cleveland, who had temporarily. wrested the top posi- ton from the Bambino. But it was be- cause Stephenson had slump and not that Ruth improved in his hitting. Averages compiled to include games of September IS, show Ruth hitting 1883. a drop of two points, while Stephenson dropped F. Falk and Collins of the White Sox did some notable hitting during the week. Falk. passed Jamie son and Collins is right behind the Cleveland outfielder.
 The Yankees as a team, did not hit well during the week, but won their games by tight pitching, so that there IS no great comfort to Washington in the fact that it passed the Tanks in team batting. Cleveland still leads, but dropped a point and fell from the .SOO class as a hitting team. ~ Ruth Adds Homer.
 Babe Ruth added one to his home run collection during the week, while Ed dle Collins increased his base thefts by one. A new name in the batting averages is that of McNelly of Wash ington, this youngster having now been in more than thirty games, in which he has netted batting average of .306.
 Among American league pitchers, Walter Johnson, the leagues ''honor man, took the lead during the week m number of games won as we'll as percentage of victories, when he in creased his total victories to 9. or one more than credited to Herb Pen. mock of the Yankees.

 CRACKERS ARE SWAT LEADERS
Stuffy Stewart Continues To Top Base Stealing
 Brigade

Atlanta lost it's fight for the South- ern league pennant when Memphis won the game necessary to clinch the flag during the week past, but the Crackers probably will wind up the season as the batting leader of the Dixie circuit. The heavy hitting team assembled by to the 300 mark as a team in batting Bert Niehoff has been keeping close ana making a notable record for runs scored. It has set the pace in the southern for several weeks, but could not overcome the lead Memphis gained in early season play.

 J. (Red) Smith of Atlanta continued the batting leader of the league, with his team mate, Burrus, next to him and Carlyle of Memphis in third place.

TORNADO TO HAVE
 GREAT BACKFIELD
Changes In Tech Lineup Brings Strength To
 Center Of Forward Wall

the season, is being ironed into what appears to be one of the most effective points in the whole team. It is not only tearing through the opposing lines in offensive play. but is holding like a stone wall on defense.
 Tine backfield's the thing. though i'll Tech football this fall. Under tke lash of Coaches Alexander and Hanson, who are working Tech candidates harder than they have been worked in years, the 1921 backfield men have become a revelation.
 In no scrimmage this week has Wy coff failed to get away for 20, 30 or 40-yard gains three or four times out of every dozen plays in which he carries the ball. Several times he has been able to cut through the opposing 22 men for runs of 75 yards. Much of the credit for these runs by Wycoff has been the hole-punching performance of the other backs and that strong center line that Tech followers said at the be- ginning of practice would not hold.
 Little Red Barron Good.
 Little Red Barron, brother 0f the great Tech captain of two years ago, made strong bid for one of the half back places for q time, but he is not figuring as strongly now for he has not shown aptitude in executing new plays by which Tech coaches hope to place a winning team in the field.
 While the first game is only week off and places are virtually filled, Tech coaches are not content to sit back. sat isfied with their apparent selections. Each scrimmage brings changing and shifting of men in both line and back field. They will have the-bcst material availableJin the first game. The only men who have not been changed about in the last two scrimmages are Wycoff, fullback; Wilson, quarterback; Captain Gardner, tackle, and Gus Merkle, end They are fixtures as far as the year 1924 and Tech football are concerned
 The others named in the lineup that stands out now as the regular squad may be changed. Right now. however, there's nothing better in sight for the jobs. ..

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 20.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Wycoff, Harris, Bob Reaves and Wilton-that's the backfield combina- ton that is definitely selected by close observers of Georgia Tech football to carry the colors of the 1924 Golden Tornado into the fray one week from today when Tech plays it's first game of the season. Oglethorp university will furnish the opposition.
 It took the third week of practice at. Tech tn give definite clues to the identity of the men who will start the season. At quarter will be Craig Will son, up from last years freshman squad; Frank Harris will handle one half position, Reeves will perform on the other side back of the line, and Wycoff will play fullback, Louis Non give Reeves and Harris run for half, but he was declared ineligible during the week because of failure to keep up his scholastic work.
 Many Changes.
 Definite changes have been made in the line of the Tornado. Several places have been settled by heavy scrimmage. It now looks like Johnny Glenn over Owen Poole for center. At guard will he Little Six Carpenter, brother of the famous Big Six of Tech few years ago, and Walt Goodwin. They make the prettiest pair of guards seen on Grant field in several years. Captain George Gardner and Joe Usry of Huffines, are sure to be the tackles and Gus Mer- lle and Johnny Marshall are outshin- ing all other candidates for the end jobs.
 The only two changes probably in the line are the substituting of Poole for Glenn at center and the sending in of Monk Nabelle to replace Marshall at end.
 Hopes Boosted.

PHILIPS NEW
 MEN ARE GOOD Many Good Backs Out To
 Make Crimson
 Eleven

Things have been moving with a snaE at the Phillips new Delta View park where the Phillips high football team has been practicing. Coach Stillwell who had so men out for the first day has but 65 or 70 now. Out of this number only four of the winners of the Block P'' returned, namely. Sanford (captain), Cy Anderson, Smith and Bartlett.
 However, he has several hopefuls from last years second team. Among the most prospective are Red" Guin, Pilgreen, Sudduth, Cranford, Ralph Gravlee. Abe Jaffee and Gus Wingo, who made sub year before last. but was unable to come out last year.
 Stillwelrs biggest job this year is picking from among his subs and rockies a man to fill Chet Hoster's place at quarter back and one to fill the vacancy left by Jim Smith at cen ter. Wingo will probably be opposed at quarter by Sam Perry, recruit who has had some experience on the Inter fraternity team. While Wingo Is probably faster, Perry is well known for hi sabiIity to keep a cool head in the tightest predicaments.
 Promising Rockies
 Besides Perry, some of the most prominent greenies for backfield are An. drcws, who has been on the Norwood team, Shipley, who won recognition by his showing in class football, Callahand and Taylor of the Interfraternity team Hood and Lott, who played last sea son with the Five Points team, Mel ton. from Pineapple, Ala, and Benton from COlumbiana.
 Among those for the line are Chap man, Mcintosh, Piatt, Cox. Boone Ringland, Brauner, Feigan, Clapp.
