JUNGLE and Elkhart High
IMI School football teams seem
G to be among the strongest
in the State. 1t is a bit early to
get definite estimate of a team,
but the first games of the sea-
son clearly show that both the
above clubs are exceptionally pow
erful.
Indianapolis has plenty of prep
grid sport with Technical, Short
ridge, Manual, Broad Ripple, Ca
the 1ral, Deaf School and Boys
Prep in the field. There was a
time when inter-schooi athletic
sport was barred between Manual
and Shortridge, the only local
high schools. Those were tough
years for the athletes, and the city
institutions have never quite re-
covered.
In high school football circles
in this State there has been
great deal of discussion about
clipping this season. Clipping is
described in the rules as fol-
Ows: Throwing the body from
, behind across the leg or legs
below the knees) Of a player not
carrying the bah. This, however,
does not apply to close line play.
A penalty of twenty-five yards
goes with violation.
The State officials association
has designated q radius of two
yards as "close line play" Clip
ping Is a play that should never
happen in high school. 1t is a
stunt which has injured more
players than all others put to-
gether.
Some coaches in early games
seem to have been confused as
to just what clipping is. Others
closed their eyes and hoped the
officials would be lenient. 1t
is a practice which should be
wiped out by the most drastic
means and officials should be
constantly on the Alert.
It'll Of Coach Rockne's
IA strategy is not used to de-
wise plays for his football
team. The Notre Dame wizard
knows how to reach the mental
processes Of his players and get
their minds in condition as well as
their bodies. And the mind, after
all is king. If one wants to use a
big word, Knute Is an expert
psychologist.
Right now he is putting out
stories that his green team will
not have a chance with the Army.
Can you imagine how that word
green" makes a fighting football
player feel?
1t makes him boiling bad. He'll
show 'em how green he is. That's
the reaction. And in that Army
game he'll fight with the fierceness
of a tiger. Which is just exactly
what the astute Mr.. Rockne de-
sires.
As Mrs. Malaprop would say,
today was the crucible game of
the world serial. The hopes of
ONE team or the other were to be
dashed to terror firmer." john
son was to pull himself up by
the galluses to the heights or be
kicked in the pantaloons thus
spelling his two great pervious
expositions.. AS Julius Caesar
remarked: TITS going to be or it
won't"
~lELL, we were right in the
W contention that Marberry
LII batted out Of turn in Satur-
days world series game. Four
umpires and two teams allowed q
man to go to bat out Of his posi-
ton in the diamond classic. That's
one for the book.
According to Sporting News,
Pittsburgh score keepers tried
frantically to get Manager Nc
Kechnie's attention at the time.
but were unsuccessful.
The case came up when Leibold
batted for Ferguson and McNeely
ran for Lebold. McNeely then
went to center field and sRice
shifted over to right, Joe Harris
leaving the game. Marberry went
to the mound. Marberry then
batted in Ferguson's place instead
of taking Joe Harris niche in the
hitting order.
~1HE Chicago Cub manage
III ment probably feels a little
o better now over that trade
with the Pirates that included Vic
A1dridge in the transaction which
brought Cooper to Chicago. Coop
err won two games from the Sox in
the city series.
When Wilbur gets his little slice
of Chicago series dough we
wouldn't give penny for his
thoughts. We are mind reader.
