PUDDLE SYSTEM IS
 SEVERELY SCORED
Rockne Doesn't Use It But Uses
 Better Plan

Chicago, H., Oct. s1.--The "hud- dle system" of calling football sig nals. which has aroused eastern members of the rules committee to demand legislation this winter against 1t, is only fad, In the opin- ion of many western conference off, cials, and is even now falling into the discard. Eastern officials say 1t makes the referees job more diff ficult because 1t is so hard to tell If all players are motionless when the ball is snapped.
 Its chief value. western football referees say, is its apparent similar ity to the original and famous Minnesota shift" which stood the football world on it's head twenty years ago. It is said to have been used first in a regular varsity con- test by Coach Robert Zuppke, of Illinois, ten year ago, but for many years before that, it was common custom in practice scrimmage where both varsity and scrubs knew all the signals and some secrecy was important.
 ''The huddle system" produces the unbalanced line of the shift play" Major John l.. Griffith. ath- letic director of the western con- ference said yesterday. But Its dis advantages are becoming more and more apparent. It will soon. I be- lieve, be almost entirely abandoned, without any rule against it.
 Its great defect is that it makes eleven ouarterbacks instead of one, io decide on the best play, and that is bad generalship. Also, it com pletely ignores the defensive align ment, as the players jump intQ place and snap the ball, without sizing up their opponents positions.
 "It is widely used. but many coaches are dropping if, except where cheering from the stands might make the signals difficult for all the players to catch.' Coach Rockne of Notre' Dame had used with great success this fall, against all eastern teams, a puzzling backfeld shift without the 'huddle system while opposing linesmen are trying to see what the backheld is doing, RodkneA lines r,en nl,,nee into them, catching them off guard"

 The New Britain lads were some what handicapped in their 'practic- ing this week inasmuch as various injuries to the first string backfield men sustained in last Saturdays game with the Troy Conference aca- denny. prohibited any hard scrim- maging. Much stress was put on the accurate direction of passes and thorough knowledge of the signals. Coach Cassidy has stated that the game Saturday will be the hardest game on the schedule and that un- doubtedly many of the second string men will be called on to defend the Red and Gold.

Herb schwarue, Giant of wiconsin Team Learns to Use His Great Weight to Success.

Madison, Wis, Oct. S1.-Herb schwarze, 2sO pound tackle on the University of Wisconsin football squad, is learning how to use his great weight to the best advantage and is becoming one of the Badgers most dependable tackles, according to the coaches.
 When schwarze first came in for notice this season he appeared too heavy and slow to win place on the first team, despite his having attract ed attention on the freshmen eleven and the Badger track team. Given a chance, however, he proved one of the chief bulwarks of the line, and played stellar football against Minne- sota. He is good shot butter and won a place In the final Olympic tryouts.

ARMY WKADES BOWL WITH
 ALI ITS HEAVY ARTILLERY
THRILLS GALORE
 IN FOOTBALL GAME
Grid Breaks Come Quick. Heroes
 Easily Made
(By Billy Evans)

After all, the thrill is the big thing in any sport.
 Baseball thrives for six months of play because every game is different, and a game without a half dozen thrills of varying degree is the ex- ception.
 Football, for the same reason, takes the center of the stage when the baseball season draws to close and for three months keeps sport lovers enthused.
 Each Saturday during the football season scores of games produce plays that provide topics for discus sion during the off season.
 Watching the Chicago-Ohio State game, which ended in 3 to 3 tie, I had plenty of opportunities to realize why the old grad never loses intcrest-why thousands who never attended college are strong for the gridiron game.
 It's the thrill 1t offers.
