MERCURYS REGISTER
FIRST GRID VICTORY

Displaying the old time form that
carried them TO the District cham
pionship in 1924, the Mercury foot
ballers yesterday earned their first
victory of the sea son at Phillips Park
by trimming the Waverly eleven,
10 TO 0.
Having beaten the knickerbockers
a week before, the Waverly crew had
hoped to make a place for themselves
In the city title race by overcom-
ing the Wingfoot team. but its hopes
were dashed at the very outset of the
contest when ii tumble gave its op-
ponents possession of the ball within
5 yards Of the goal, and Breslin
plunged through to put the Mer-
curys in the lead.
From then on it was Mercury's
game, although the lighter Waverly
men did not give up without "A strug-
BILE. In the second quarter the Wa
verify line braced and held for downs
on its own 3-yard line. but in the
third the Mercury team again ad-
Vanced into enemy territory, where
Meyers. Wingfoot center, intercepted
a forward pass and paced off o5 yards
for the second touchdown.
Near the close of the fray Hook
received a pass from De Gassis and
placed the bali on Waverly's l-yard
line, from which Edinger carried il
over. Mercury gained the extra point
as an off-stde penalty called on tho
losers.

NOT THIS
By Sol NIetzee

Often we see backtield players,
when their team has the ball, line
up side by side and very close to-
gether as in the lower illustration.
This is a most ineffective method.
For some reason when the run Is
to either side and two: backs are
so placed, the one in the rear of
the pay is unconsciously delayed
In starting. He instinctively feels
that he will bump or run into his
teammate when he steps toward
him. AS a result he hesitates a
moment and will not start until
his teammate has gotten under
way. That necessarily slows the
play.
Backs should line up as in the
upper illustration. When they are
on parallel lines that are close to-
Gether the coach should place
them so that one is d yard or so
forward of the other. Then both
can start at full speed in any di-
rectton without instinctiyely fear
ing the collision that causes the
one in the rear to hesitate before
starting. Such formations permit
the team to run off its plays at
full speed with every back par
ticipating-

MICHIGAN ENTITLED
TO BIG TEN HONORS

NEW YORK, November 30-No
unbiased person will dispute Michi-
gan's right to be named as champion
of the Western Conference, as well
as TO stand high among the leading
elevens of the country.
Michigan has won five Big Ten
games and lost one. Northwestern
has Won three games from members
of this group and lost /.
But Michigan, with one exception,
has defeated stronger opponents than
has the Evanston team. The one ex-
ception was when the Wolverines
fell before Northwestern, 8 to ?. in
game played when the new gridiron
bordering upon Lake Michigan was
nothing but II saturated solution of
muck
Viewing the work OF the two
elevens in in all other games, the
conclusion cannot be escaped that
were these outfits to meet under even
fair playing conditions, Michigan
would win handily.
Tho Wolverines have played and
convincingly defeated Indiana, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Ohioo State in
the conference and won from Illinois,
to o. Northwestern defeated In
diana, II to IA; Michigan defeated
the Hoosiers. 63 to 0. Northwestern
was beaten by Chicago, a team which
both Dartmouth and Wisconsin
swamped.
This Michigan team is splendidly
gifted in all departments of offensive
and defensive foot ball. 1t is a big,
rugged outfit and yet fast and alert
as team of sprinterS. Such men as
Friedman. Gilbert, Molenda and
Gregory in the backfield and Ooster-
ban, Brown, Edwards. Sage and
Hawkins in the line, are endowed
with natural ability of the highest
order, and Fielding Yost and his as.
sistant coaches have developed them
to high pitch of disciplined pro-
ficiency.

from the revised conference regula-
tiOnS.
If any new schemes to checkmate
pro foot ball are devised and accepted
by the faculty representatives of the
Big Ten this week, all the chances
favor their rigid enforcement.
May Act as to Shift.
Possibly something will be said and
done by the coaches at their meeting
with reference 10 shifts in foot ball
offense. The old plant has been
heard throughout the season of back
field men in motion before the ball Is
snapped. Minnesota was charged
with this, and 1t is said that in the
Michigan game the players were com
PEELED to add an extra count in their
complicated SHIFT, and that it was this
that wrecked theii offense against the
Wolverines.
Western coaches who saw the Army
Navy game said that the Army backs
were seldom at a complete pause
when the ball was snapped, and one
important Big Ten coach said that if
what the Army did is legal then no
coach in the country has any excuse
for failing to shoot his plays from
shift formation. This, of course, may
be merely the result of a state Of
mind opposed to the shift. Then,
again, it may not. Upon several oc-
casions when the writer specially
watched the backs with this point in
mind. he did see the backs in mo-
ton. But upon these occa sions-to
be precised upon all but one occasion
the referee called foul.

At the time he was regarded a Just
a little bit hectic, his Judgment un-
balanced. Now, though, what with
Grange going into the commercialized
game and the foothold professional
foot ball has obtained In the East,
notably New York, other coaches as
well as members of faculties visualize
some such situation as Stagg forecast
Facing Real Problem.
There are charges that efforts have
been made, and are being made, To
entice star players from college before
they have graduated, while at the
same time support for purely mer-
Cenary foot ball has sprung up in i'm
portant publicity quarters.
Even with the situation less crucial
In this respect than it now is, certain
elements in many faculties not only
In the conference, but elsewhere, were
hostile to foot ball. and now those
who value the game as great col
lege sport, as we'll as those who ma ke
their living from the game by coach
ing college teams, are beginning TO
visualize a situation where the leading
teams, justly or unjustly, will be re-
garded as little more than recruiting
grounds for pro eleyens. When uni
versity and college authorities accept
this as a fact, then college foot ball
as a national game will perish.
But, what can be done to combat
this condition? 1t Is altogether likely
that this question will be considered
at the meeting of the faculty athletic
directors of the Western Conference
this week and 1t would not be surpris-
ing if the result may be an open and
energetic fight.
There seems at one time to have
