CH1CAGONOW TOPS WESTERN
 CONFERENCE, HLlW LOSES

Minnesota eleven was penalized IS yards after Grange had been tackled by two men while out of bounds.
 The Illinois team was sadly bat tered the previous week when Coach Stagg, of Chicago. unleashed a trio of smashing fullbacks to complete the battering administered by the strongest tackle-to-tackle line in the conference for 21-21 tie.
 Chicago however. also showed signs of distress as an aftermath of the Illinois game and it was only by a field goal in the last minutes of play that the Maroons scaled the heights of conference leadership over the supposedly weak Northwestern team. A victory over Wisconsin next Saturday would give Chicago an un- disputed title.

BENKERT STILL LEADS SCORERS And Eddie TryOn Holds Place
 as Second

With the football season drawing to . close, Benkert Of Rutgers con tinues to set the pace for Eastern stars in individual scoring, AL though the fleet halfback of the Scarlet machine failed to add any thing to his total against New York University last Saturday, bis 94 F oints, gained earlier in the year, is still the highest total among Eastern aspirants for the title of high scorer. When Benkert reached the mark he now has and still had tive more games to play it seemed certain that he would pass the century mark, but now he has only Bucknell against which to add to his total. A touchdown next Saturday will give him an even hundred and surpass the mark set by George Pfann of Cornell when he led the Eastern scorers last year with a total of 9s at the end of the season.
 Benkert, however, is not the only player in this section of the coun- try who is shooting for the century mark. Tryon of Colgate, who finished in a tie for second honors in 1923, is again the runner-up this year, holding his place less than a touchdown behind the leader. Tryon has total Of S9 points and still has & chance to add to his total, as he will face Syracuse next satur- day.
 Two touchdowns against the Orange would give him over a hun dred points. Mcbride of Syracuse, with 74 points. is in third position, while koppisch of Columbia and Hazel oi Rutgers are tied for fourth place with 72 points each, the Co., lumbia captain climbing in the standing last Saturday by making two touchdowns against the Army and the Rutgers star adding o3 points to his total by scoring three touchdowns and points after touchdowns against New York uni versity. Bruder of West Virginia is single point behind these two.
 Fifteen touchdowns gives Benkert the leadership in crossing his oppo- nents' goal lines. while Tryon is second in this respect with II touch- downs to his credit. Koppisch has made F touchdowns and Bruder and Borrel of Muhlenberg have made II each.
 McBride of Syracuse continues 10 show the way to the field goal art ists. having made eight in as many games this year. In only one game did the Syracuse star fail to tally by this method. but in another con- test he made two. Kruez of Penn. sylvania and Provost of Penn State, both of whom tried and failed last week, have six each. kruez took five shots at Penn States cfossbar on Franklin field, but three tries fell short and two were blocked.
 Provost made one attempt 10 send the ball over the Pennsylvania goal in the same game, but the pass from the center was bad.
 In adding the extra points after touchdowns. Hazel continues to show the way, his toe having given Rut- gers 24 points by this route. Whet- stone of Cornell is second with 20 and slemmer of Muhlenberg is third with 16.
 Following is the list Of those who have made over 70 points in the big ger eastern teams. together with the number of touchdowns, field goals points after touchdowns and total 1 points made by each:

SHIFT PLAYS ARE
 LOSING IN FAVOR
Cause Many Arguments and
 May Be Dropped
Rv BILLY EVANS

The passing of t,~ shift play in 1 football is possibility.
 \ score of years back Dr. Williams Q. Minnesota evolved the now la nous Minnesota shift,
 It was a new and novel departure. The running Of plays from loose |Uun proved decidedly disconccrning 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 eIaborations on the shift. Each coach with his own original ideas worked out various original forma tious to baflIe the opposition. 1 When Georgia Tech was meeting with such success under the coaching uf John IFeisman. much of the tcams deception was based on plays run from shit formations.
 The Famous Hcisman Shift. The legality of the Heisman shift as used by Geotgia Tech was much questioned. Opposing teams con- tended that the rules of the game, off-sde play in particular, were be- ing constantly violated. Next in line was Knute Focknc with number of freak shifts that were executed quickly bcwildering the opposition and making big gains easy.
 Four or five years ago. in a game between the Army and Notre Dame, 1 Major Daly, then coach at West Point, disputed often with the off cials over Notre Dame's shift.
 A number of times he came on the field to argue the legality of the play. The game was held Up by many arguments.
 As I recall it, Coach Fockne of Notre Dame didn't use the shift in the second half, in order to eliminate the constant pickering over its legal itv.
 Officials Pcnalirnd Iowa Eleven.
 In the recent game between Iowa and Illinois. he shift was once more q subject for argument. Iowa, on it's first play Of the game, gained nine yards on shift play.
 The officials penalized Iowa for failure 10 come 10 a stop after the shift. insisting they were in motion all through inc play,
 As Cor eh Ingwcrson said after the game. most of Iowas deception was in the shift and that the failure of the officials 10 o. K. H. simply put his team into the air.
 Irgwcrson a pupil Of Zuppke, learned much Of his knowledge Of tho shift from the famous Illinois coach,
 Zuppkc Has Passed shift ID
 l. was noticeable that Zuppke E tram did mot once resort to the shift against Iowa. It vas once a t4vorre method of deception for Zuppkc's teams. Here is how he 5 explained it after the game. "The shift play is all right but yoI can't got all the officials 10 sec , if the same way.

 BRIDGEPORT BOYS
Get GO Draw, But Are Far
 Superior to Visitors

Sweeping the much toutcd Bridge port team right off its feet, Al.New Hritain yesterday clearly outplaycd .thctr rivals and while they were un- able to do better than get a 0-0 draw they convinced the fans that they arc about two touchdowns better than the visitors. New Britain was crippled by the absence of Stan Kennedy. Had he been in the game there would have been at least two touchdowns, 1t seems almost certain. once Bridgeport got the ball on the four yard mark and again prevented New Britain from making what seemed a certain score, Twice Joe Neville tried for field goals. Tho first hit the cross bar and failed and the second bounded along the ground
 Entering the game anything but 1 the favorite. New Britain al onco showed a dash and vim that had their opponents literally standing on their heads. The New Britain line, led by Rogers and Warner, repeated ly broke through and threw the | Bridgeport backs for losses. Clark and Ink Conley dodged in from the wings and mailed their men and iWhen they did slip through the line, the secondary defense picked them off.
 When Kennedy did not appear. 1 Pigeon" Conley was sent 10 quarter with Johnny Landers and Din as 1 halfbacks, and Neville at fullback. The combination worked well and Neville. trying forward pass after
 erring aim and a majority of them were completed. New Rritain's apr- iial attack was well night perfect. 'The line -hucking Of Bernie Conley
 was wonderful to watch. He hit the lin" hard and low and almost always
 was sure of gain.
 The Bridgeport outfit failed 10
 show anything st all and none of the individuals stood ont Spoctacularly. ! Probably the most brilliant play of the day, outside Of the forward passes to Coner and Dill, occurred toward the close Of the game when Joe Rogers broke through the line
 and blocked punt near the Bridge port 20 yard line, recovering the hail. A few seconds later Neville
 essayed q field goal but 1t failed.
