PA STRIBLING KILLING
SONS TITLE CHANCES
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, November 11.-Com-
petent physical conditioners in the
boxing game say thai the way Pa
Stribling is handling his son has de-
stroyed any chance the boy might
have had of becoming a full-f1edged
heavyweight and possibly a cham
pion. The opinion is that he is being
fought out.
He has had over $50 battles in the
four years he has been fighting and
earned $1,000 in so doing.
OF late Pa has been picking soft
ones with a master hand for his son,
but even so, young Stribling's active
life has kept his weight down and
prevented him from being the stall
wart heavy he might otherwise have
been.
He was n wearied young man
when he met Paul Berlenbach two
years ago, was weary even before
the fight and he was lucky that it
went over the short route.
His subsequent showing against
Ad Stone confirmed the belief that
he was burning out and his father
did wise thing in taking the young
St"r away from the humping lane
and putting him back to school for
a siX-month period. Now he is out
of school and fighting like a slave.
The Striblings are cruising the
high roads in a caravan consisting
of big automobile fitted out with
living quarters for the entire family.
1t is a familiar sight all over the
country and the elder Stribling is
taking on matches wherever a pro-
moter can be found who is willing to
match the youngster with local
pride.
Strib has been knocking all such
bow-legged out West. His knock
out string is growing by leaps and
bounds. Eddie Huffman, the young
Navy heavyweight who met Stribling
recently out West, says that he
wishes the fight had been set for
more than 10 rounds, as the Geor-
gian was firing rapidly in the latter
frames of their bout.
If Huffman is not talking through
his hat, it looks as though the time
will soon come when Strib must be
turned out to pasture.

Poor playing conditions are as much
responsible as anything for the pres
ent astonishing tumble of the West
ern Conference situation. Minnesota
is the only undefeated team, and this
would seem to be more due to the
Gophers' light conference schedule
than to any strength they may pos
sess. Notre Dame beat them, 19 to Z.
The idea of pOStponing games where
gridirons are in terrible shape has
been suggested. But this could not be
done because of the necessity of meet
ing other games of the schedule.
Some one has broaChed the alterna-
tive of outright cancellation Of con
tests. But this would draw loud and
frenzied howls from those concerned
with the financial side of intercol-
iegiate foot ball.
OF course, games falling on in
clement days might be thrown into
late November or Saturdays up to the
middle of December, but against such
an expedient the veto of the faculty
authorities might arise. 1t is all a
perplexing problem.

Il have always felt confident of
eventually breaking loose in any
game I've ever played" said Grange
in discussing his experiences. 1T may
have come about through the fact that
in high school good interference and
poor tackling gave me an opportu-
nifty to learn how to run in a broken
field.
Unusual Sight Is Factor.
II believe that my sight has some
thing to do with it. My vision is
better than the average. l can see a
man in relation to myself while run
ming a yard or so quicker. That is. I
place him definitely, as a batter must
be able to place a pitched ball in or
der TO hit it. That, of course, comes
after the interference and line have
made some sort of way across the
line of scrimmage. Without that help
no man can expect to get loose very
often on the foot ball field.
"Zuppke's plays were figured out
to shake me loose. 1t has all been a
combination of circumstances"
Most of the battles that season
were thrilling. A great Iowa team
led to as the last quarter started.
Britton had scored a 50-yard place
kick for Illinois and Fry had run
utes to go and the Hawkeyes We're
slowly and surely advancing for an
other touchdown. Illinois made a
desperate stand on it's 10-yard line
and held the Iowa team for downs,
getting the ball. Red had been trying
all afternoon to get loose and he still
kept the faith. He must get away.
Gets Winning Touchdown.
Britton received the ball on the first
play and threw a pass to Grange.
That same play to Red was repeated
three more times and the ball was on
the Iowa 17-yard line. From there
Grange swung widely, at his own left
end and scored.
Against I5utler Grange made two
more touchdown runs. He entered
the Northwestern game in fine fettle
and ran 80 yards with an intercepted
pass for a marker. The same first
quarter he travelled As yards through
a broken field for a touchdown and
at the start of the second quarter
made a dash of 80 yards across the
line. Zuppke removed him from the
game then to save him for the Chi
cago game.
THE Chicago game was the hard
est one of the year" said Red in sum-
ming up. 1T was a rainy day and
the field was a quagmire. Chicago
had wonderful line and neither side
could do much with the other. In
the third quarter a nice opportunity
came through tackle and 1 was for
tunate enough to get loose for little
run. The same play was-run again
and I ended up on the 1S-yard line.
Britton kicked the goal after 1
scored
Wisconsin was all primed to stop
Grange and win the game the follow
ing Saturday. The field was dry, and
in the second quarter Red stepped
lightly loose around his right side of

FOOT BALL SECRETS
by Sol NIetZge

Too often the beginner in foot ball
will place one hand above and the
other under the bali after receiving
the pass from center when preparing
20 drop the ball in order to punt it.
Obviously, in removing his hands
from the ball when holding it. as pic
tured in the first illustration, he will
be more likely to twist it out of po-
sition as he drops it than he would
be if he holds the ball in his hands
as shown in the second illustration.
Keep the hands parallel TO and on
opposite sides of the ball-directly
opposite each other. Then in drop
ping it, simply pull the hands way
from the ball so it will be sure to fall
straight and true. In adjusting the
hall for a punt, put the laces on top.
Perfection in a little point like this
inSures good punting when hurried.

More than 1000 fans turned out
at the big stadium to witness East
ern's final bid for the title and to
cheer the Victors when the crown
had been fairly won. The game was
a fight from start to finish, and al
though the Lincoln Parkers failed to
share in the scoring they gave the
Blue and White team plenty of OPP
position after their first overanXious-
ness had passed.
The final triumph gives Central
a clean record for its four games of
the annual championship series. No
enemy team crossed the home eleven's
goal line during the title trays, while
Central ran up a total of &c points.
All of the scoring in yesterdays
game was done in the first two
periods, the teams appearing evenly
matched during the final half, which
was marred considerably by rough
tactics on both sides and numerous
penalties meted out by the officials.
George Roberts. leading scorer of
the high school league, put Central
ahead with a drop-kick from the 81
yard line early in the opening ses-
sion. In the second quarter Ger al
rushed the ball to Eastern's 3yard
line before being held for downs. All
man fumbled for Eastern, however,
and Roberts gained the leather for
Central. A long pass, Roberts to
LOTUS, sent it over for a touchdown.
Roberts added the extra point.
