INSIDE TIPS FOR WISE
QUARTERS

(BY HARRY STUHLDREHER)
! (Notre Dame-All-Am 1920
| Like all competitive sports. foot
ball has its strategy, the so-called
inside stuff.
True, there are any number of
mand methodical style OF play,
! but there are also number of spots
that offer an opportunity to pull
something, do the unexpected.
Good football calls upon the quar-
terback to keep possession of the
ball as much as possible when pitted
against teams strong on the often
sive.
When the wind is with you. play
with speed; when it is against you,
call your plays slowly and use up
as much time as possible without
mourning the wrath of the officials.
1t Is wise to shoot a few plays
against strong men when not in the
scoring zone. This enables the
quarterback to nurse along the
weak spots until he gets within
scoring territory.
If the weak spots of strong
team are played too heavily in mid
field, the opposing coach will
probably rush in a strong substitute
when you get within the scoring
zone.
1t is also pretty good Judgment
to Immediately shoot a play at an
incoming substitute. Usually he Is
unsettled, also not properly warmed
up and an immediate gain through
him tends to put him and his team
further In the air.
When a quarterback Is in doubt
as to the proper play to use, ]
would suggest that he either punt
or call for time out, so that he may
discuss the situation with some of
the other wise heads on his team.
When a quarterback has In mind
the possibility of a punt, he should
never use the punter on the play
Just previous to the anticipated
kick. The punter should be fresh
10 do his best and get distance and
accuracy to his kick.
The quarterback must always
know the downs and the distance to
be gained. He should also keep
in touch with the time left to play
to guide him In his selection OF
plays.
1t is we'll also to keep your team
informed just where and why the
opposition is gaining, often suggest.
ing some way to overcome the weak
epot,
since the quarterback must handle
a majority Of the opposition's punts
he must become an expert at catch.
ing the ball. It is necessary that
ne concentrate on the ball and give
no thought to the linemen who are
bearing down on him.
When tackled, the uuarterhack
should Immediately relax to avoid
getting hurt.
1t Is not wise to try to pick IN q
rolling punt. Let it expend its en-.
ergy before handling 1t.

OF Strong ELEVEN
Wolverines Stand Out as Most
Formidable Team in Big Ten

Chicago, Oct. 20. P)--From early
season indications, Michigan looms
across the football horizon as one
of the most formidable cevens ir
action this fall.
And in Its own select circle--the
Big Ten it stands out os an aggre-
CATION most likely 10 cop the West
ern Conference bunting.
True, the campaign has hardly
more than opened, and many
startling upsets can occur Between
now and the end of the chase. But
at this writing the Maize and Blue.
piloted by the crafty Yost, seems to
have the inside rail
In Its first two clashes Of the sea-
son the Wolverines surprised the
football assemblage by counting 1o2
points, Michigan state going down,
$40, and Indiana, $50. The count
against the Hoosiers was one Of the
largest rolled up In Big Ten game
in quite a stretch.
When Michigan lost such stars as
Steger, Slaughter. Steele, Marion and
Rockwell Of the 1924 eleven, it was
generally conceded that Yost and
his aids would have a tough time
molding together a winner this fall.
But frankly, it stacks up as the best
machine the Ann Arbor institute N
has had over a fairly long span.
When the training season COM
menced q few weeks ago Michigan
mad no outstanding stars, with the
possible exception of Capt. Bob
Brown and Benny Friedman. And
prospects, obviously. we're anything
but bright.
But UP from the 1924 frosh eleven
came as sensational a group of tots
as Yost has gazed upon In seasons.
Among others were a lean. lanky
chap named Oosterbaan, all-state
end at Muskegon (Mich.) high; Bo
Molenda, fullback from Detroit

ing quarter back from Detroit Cen.
| trail.
Yost tried them all out at the
opening of the campaign and each
has made good with q vengeance. In
fact, some Of last years reserves
have been ousted by the youngsters.
With the arrival OF these sopho-
mores, gridlron gloom has been re-
placed by plenty of optimism.
Michigan, by the way. needs q
strong, firmldable eleven this season.
If 1t ever did For the 1925 schedule
Is one Of the tughest the Michigan
ders have ever tackled.
Outside of Michigan State and In
diana, which have already been dis
posed of, the Maize and Blue meets
Wisconsin, Illinois, Navy Northwest
ern, Ohio State and Minnesota. A
real bunch of assignments regardless
Of how you scan the list.
The Wisconsin and Ohio State
games stack up as the hardest OF the
group. If the Yostmen can safely
hurdle those two outfits, Michigan
cohorts opine their favorites will
grab the Big Ten title.
1llinois--well, as far as the Zupp-
Ike platoon is concerned. H. wouldn't
be at all surprising II Yost handed
his old rival some of the latter's own
medicine this fall.
Michigan Is still smarting under
that overwhelming 39-14 defeat Of
1894, when the great Grange made
football history, and the Wolverines
are out to at least partly avenge

NEW BRITAIN WILL HAVE
CHAMPIONSHIP QUINTET
Last Year Veterans Among the Is
Candidates Who Are Trying
Out For the Team


Predictions are being freely made
that the New Britain National
Guards basketball team will step out
into the court at the opening of the
1885 season as one of the best
qulntets ever assaulted in this city.
The first practice session of the team
was called for last Friday night and
candidates We're invited to appear
for tryouts. A total of IS candidates
turned out and Coach Billy Dudacll
put them through the preliminary
PAGES.
The quality Of candidates who are
trying for places on the quintet
makes it certain that even the vet
Grams of last years play, will have
to show their best wares TO retain
their places on the team. Coach Du-
dack, with the experience of many
years behind him, is rated as one
of the best mentors in these parts
and those who are interested in
basketball in this city have confid,.
ence in his judgment SO that they
expect to have a championshi pteam
in this city.
Hope Restelli flashed all his old
time speed and appears to be in the
best of condition. "Snowshoes'

court game in this section. has all
! lis old time Cleyerness and because
of his activities on the baseball dia-
mond, is physically fit for a hard
campaign. The Reynolds brothers,
Jimmy and Tommy. have turned out
! for the team, and they are following
/ in the footsteps of their illustrious
brothers, Taylor, one of the main
stays of last year. turned out for
practice and Tedders kilduff turned
| in good workout.
The remaining candidates gave
evidence that they have real basket
ball ability and from this aggrega :
| ton, Coach Dudack should have no
trouble in selecting a real five that
will bring honors to the Hardware
City. The entire squad will turn out
again this coming Friday at the
state arnory and weekly practice
will be held until near the time for
the seasons opening when practice
sessions will be increased to at least
twice a week. Manager Clarence
Lanphcr has arrangements all COM
pleted for the use of the armory
this year and all details will be in
the works when the season opens
which will be about the first week
in December.

"Snooks" Dowd, Jersey City Inter-
national league indelder. ran 200
yards for a touchdown back In the
palmy days when he was playing
quarterback on the Lehigh team.
Inches from his opponents goal
line, he became confused on the
plunge and started running the
wrong way. He ran the entire
length of the field in the wrong di-
rection before regaining his sense Of
direction. Circling his own goal
posts, he retraced his steps down
the field through the eleven oppos-
ing players for touchdown, the
longest run In the history OF inter-
collegiate bootball.
Not many years ago a player on
one of the smaller New England
college teams became confused and
started to run in the wrong direc-
ton. But he wasn't the only con-
fused one. An opposing player
grounded him from behind after he
had clipped off rs yards in reverse
gear.
As a result OF Roger Peckin-
paugh's erratic world series fielding.
1t is likely that the announcement
OF the American leagues most
valuable player award will be held
off, next year, until after baseball's
blue ribbon event is over. Peck
says entering the series with this
honor Is so much ball and chain on
his hands.

world series amounts to $l1S,2S5,
according to the figures made public
by the internal revenue bureau.
This tax was levied on admissions
but the aged gentleman will likewise
receive a further cut in the shape of
taxes from ticket brokers and on
the income of the players, managers
and magnates.

Told BY The Garages


Garages are becoming the labora-
tories Of car ownership, according to
those who are making serious Ell
fort to learn why more people are
not getting more use from their cars.
The usual reason for leaving a car
in the public garage all day, the IN
vestigators learn, is to save" it.
From that it would be assumed that
the cars which go out less frequently
are the ones in the best physical and
mechanical condition. But the sur
vey shows just the opposite.
The cars which are kept cleaned
and polished are found to be those
that go out in all kinds Of weather.
More rusty bumpers and headlights
are found on those cars that are sell
dom used. The owners who have
the hardest time starting their mo-
tors are those who haven't been out
all week.
Among other interesting facts it
has been discovered that a car that
stands in a public garage for week
collects about as much dust as a car
that is kept on the 60 and not dust
ed over the same period of time. In
crowded places cars that are seldom
used stand just as much chance of
having tenders decorated with dents
and scratches as any other car. AS
q matter Of fact, garage employees
have more respect and consideration
for the cars that are used daily.
The reason for the last point is in
teresting. The Investigators asked
some Of the garage employees why
they did not respect the cars that
were being kept in the garage by
owners who figured that they were

Insurance Inquiries

Yes, your policy contract stipulates
that after fire or collision loss you
must arrange to protect the salvage
against further loss pending adjust
ment proceedings.
No, work of repairing the car

inspect the loss and agree with the
owner and repairer as to the reason
ableness of the charges and the
amount of work actually necessitated
by the fire, theft or collision.
Yes, your right to collect for loss
under the terms Of your policy con-
tract is void if you fail to file with

The Old Mechanic Says:

Curious thing about this business
is when one of my customers comes
in to complain about some trouble
there's usually a run of customers
all havin' the same trouble. 1t used
to puzzle me at first until I discov-
cred that very few car owners COM
pare notes.
One man will drive in with the
complaint that his brakes need ad-
justment. He doesn't know that a
half dozen owners have been in be-
fore him and that as many will fol-
low him before the day is over. II
he knew it he'd realize the trouble
is due to the brakes gettin' water
soaked due to the rain and the con-
dition Of the streets. And he'd save
himself a lot of time. money and
trouble.
Here's where radio is going to helr
the automobiles. Radio fans have
their troubles. but the first thing
they do when somethin' isn't right is
to call up friend and see if he is
havin' similar trouble. If they're
both up against the same thing they
know the trouble has somethin' to dc
with the atmosphere. They stor
tearin' their own sets to pieces on
wild goose chases.
Car owners seem to like to play a
lone hand. They never admit any
trouble, like as if they were ashamed
to own a normal car. Naturally
when somethin' doesn't so just right
they have the pleasure of payin' the
whole bill.
I've had 'em come in here on red
hot days with demands to tear down
the engine to find out what causes
the overheatin'. If they'd just talk
to a few other owners they'd find out
that about nine cars out of ten were
doin' the same thing.
A little more spirit among car
owners, in my opinion, would be a
fine money saver. 1t would even help
the fellow who runs to the opposite ex
IRENE by suspectin' that everybody
