TRYON'S SCORES
BETTER Than REDS
Colgate Star Tailed Most in
-Four Years

New York, Dec. Completion Of
the 1925 collegiate football Season
has terminated remarkable individ-
lual scoring records in the middle
west and east by two famous toters
of ice longs and pigskns - Red
Grange, of Illinois, and Eddie Tryon
of Colgate.
Because he entered Colgate prior
TO the adoption there OF the fresh
man rule, it has been possible for
Tryon in four consecutive years Of
play TO pile up $50 points, an aver
age Of S7l2 per season.
a comparison of the records of
Grange and Tryon shows that the
Colgate back outscored the flame
haired flash Of the Illinois by almost
100 points during the thrcc-year pc
Rod that Red wore jersey No. II.
Grange amassod u total of 1856
curing his varsity career, leading
the western Conference field in 1928
and 1924 with To and IS, rcspcc-
Itiy"ly. He fell off slightly this sea-
son with Sc.
Oranges scoring was confined to
the making Of touchdowns, while
Tryon branchcd out into field goal
kicking from scrimmage and after
touchdoWns. This aided him in es-
.tablishng an amazing mark of 2S4
points in his last three seasons.
Even in carting the BAN across
enemy goal lines, Tryon bcsteG
Grange in their scoring duel of the
last three years, the Colgate star
.chalking up 43 touchdoWns TO 81 for
the Xuppke ace. Tryon made ! in
1928 and IA in both 1924 and 1925,
while Grange Tailed 12 in 1928, 10
lin 1924 and six this season.
The New York state player began
His spectacular career by scoring II
ItouChdowns for G6 points in 1922,
finishing in a tie with Pfann, of Cor
Inell, for fourth place. Drummer, of
Lafayette, topped the field that year
with sc points, Wilson Of Penn State
now in the Army backfeld, being
second with rs.
The following season Tryon again
trailed Pfann, who led the scoring
in the east. The Colgate player fin
ished that year with 81 points. In
1924 he scored SO points but finished
fourth to Henry Benkert, of Rut-
gers, who led with 100.
Finishing at the top of the list
this year with total of III points,
ITryon completed his remarkable
collegiate gridiron career 1876 points
higher than his nearest eastern RI
val, XeV Graham. Of Fordham, in
total points for the last three sea-
sons.

Aerial Game Argued Pro and Con
by Followers of Gridiron Meets
IS FORWARD PASS
too EFFECTIVE?
One Expert Says Good Defense
Can Stop It

Boston, Dec. 4 tR}-A coach and a
critic OF coaches have added their
fuel 10 the fire which has ragged
about the football question ever
since George Owen. famous Harvard
player, declared that few gridiron
warriors get any real fun out Of the
game.
Reggie Brown, backheld coach for
Brown university, and DR.. Morton
Prince, Harvard rs, psychologist
are the latest to take hand in the
controversy. Brown contends that
no forward passing attack ever con-
ceived cannot be stopped by well
coached team while DR.. Prince, In
the current number OF the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin, urges as a step
toward amateurizing the game that
coaches never be allowed to give or
ders.
Brown, co-worker with the late
Percy Haughton at Harvard, holds
that the pass has not outstripped
the defense. There has yet been
no aerial attack devised Ehat cannot
be stopped and stopped effectively by
a shrewdly coached eleven Of good
intelligence, speed and power" In
the Brown university game against
Dartmouth college. the Green eleven
wal unable to score against the
Providence team, Reggie pointed
out.
DR.. Prince in his plea for less au-
thority for coaches said
THE first thing that stands ont is
that the game is one that largely In
its strategy is directed and played
from the sdelines." The real gem
eral "is a man old enough to be the
father Of the players, who fights the
team against his middle-aged OPP
ponent. Their own game Is not
played by the undergraduate play
ers. They are pawns or puppets IN
the hands of professional coach"
As remedy DR.. Prince suggests
that coaches be teachers only, hav-
ing nothing to do with the actual
direction of athletics and that all or
ders be issued through the captains
who would be in full control Of
training, practice and the games. He
also urges that rival teams fraternize
before and after the games in the
interest Of better sportsmanship.

Melvin Taube, star Purdue quarter
back and all-round athlete.
For three years. Taube has been
an outstanding celebrity at the
Boilcrmaker institution, shining in
football, baseball and basketball.
He's perhaps gained his greatest
fame on the gridiron. This fall. es-
pecially, his work has been one of
the brightest features of Purdues
play.
1t was in the recent games with
Wisconsin and Chicago that Taubes
liability as a wonderful passer came to
light. In the Badger clash, which
was played in the rain and on a
muddy field, his efforts in hurting
passes We're little short of remark
able. The same may be said concern
ling his work in the Chicago fray,
ialSO staged on soft. heavy gridiron.
Since the first of the season, Taube
! has tossed around IS passes. More
than half of them have connected.
Purdue has gained close TO 400 yards
through the air. That's travelling
some! Very few of Taubc's heaves
have been intercepted. indicating ac-
curateness and ability to put EN-

These figures reveal why Purdue

PLAINV|LLE LOSES
TO SOUTH Church
Locals Come Back Fast After
Making Wretched Start

The South church basketball
team won its first victory Of the
season last night at the Boys club
by handing a 32-15 trimming to
the Plainville Y. NJ. C. A. The game
was fast but practically devoid of
thrills. The visitors got the jump
on the South church and by the
middle of the first quarter had a
% lead. The New Britain players
had looked bad. and Adams called
time out. When they returned 10
the game it was a different team,
fighting back to hold Plainville
scoreless for the rest of the half
and taking 1913 lead.
In the second half the South
church had things practically its
own way, breaking through the de-
Tense time after time to count on
short shots under the basket.
Plainville, on the other hand, was
held at bay and forced to shoot
from long range; it had been very
successful at this, taking the early
lead on lengthy heaves. but now
its efforts were not enough and the
church moved steadily on to its
32-15 win.
It is impossible TO pick a star
among the winners. After being
badly outfought in the first min
utcs, they all played well. Cooley
outjumped his man consistently,
the forwards scored often, and the
guards held their opponents to
lone basket The team looked
pretty good at the end. Miller was
ny all odds the best of the visitors
finding the basket from all angles
and proving himself generally a
thorn in tho side of the victors.

BILLY EVANS ALSO
GIVES HIS VIEWS
Thinks It Unusually Powerful
Weapon
BY BILLY EVANS

The forward pass unQuestionably
has changed tho entire modern
football system.
It's scoring power, when success
fully executed, is so great that the
team that resorts only to orthodox
football, hasn't a chance,
Ones feelings for or against the
pass are largely determined by
which team is completing them.
II 1t is your fayorie team, then
the pass is great play. If it Is the
other team, then you are against
it as a play that has turned real
football into aerial basketball.
On my way to the Ohio State
illinois game at Columbus / had
long chat with a former Cornell
star who had attended the Dart
mouth Cornell game.
Since l once attended Cornell I
was more than Interested 10 get

Looping Dartmouth handed Gil
Dobie's team.
apparently Dartmouth had It
all over Cornell" was my opening
wedge to get the inside dope on
the game as seen by a former star
player competent to express
worthwhile opinion.
Pro and Con
mo, I wouldn't say that" was
his reply, "elminate the forward
pass and I would bet my money
right back on Cornell" I might aid
that Dartmouth's victory over Cor.
nell cost him 300 smackers.
II don't want to take a thing
away from Dartmouth but the for
ward pass made a joke out Of that
game. Otherwise the two teams
were evenly matched.
That fellow Obcrlander is
wonder. He doesn't throw forward
passes, that bird losses touch
downs any time he cuts loose with
the ball.
"The first two long passes he
made were interesting to watch, but
after the first period which ended
14-13 in favor of Dartmouth, IT de-
Veloped into a disgusting form of
football, at least to me who was
pulling for Cornell.
Il am inclined to think the en-
tire Cornell team was in that frame
of mind from the way they played
Apparently lacking a defense for
Oberlander's long passes, the line
spread in an effort to cover every
eligible receiver. Then Dartmouth
added insult to injury by shifting 10
line play and gaining at will
through a line that was as good if
not better than Dartmouth's.
NO doubt the waloping Cornell
received sourcd me on the pass"

ETTQRS FAVOR
WALKER IN NY.
ELECTION
Odds on Democrat for Mayor,
But Waterman Making
Hard Fight
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN,
international News Service

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S-Ihe most
apathetic mayoralty compaign in
the history of New York city is
rapidly drawing to a close.
Next Tuesday the people will vote
out of a sense of duty, or party al
Iegiance-not because they have
been aroused by bell-ringing speeches,
conflicting issues or the burning OF
red fire.
AS the two candidates, James J.
Walker, Democrat. and Frank ID.
Waterman, Republican, swept into
the home stretch today, they main
tanned in their speeches the gentle
manly" attitude that has marked
their campaigns.
Few brickbats have been hurled,
in sharp contrast to the bitter battle
for the nomination which resulted
in the elimination Of the Democratic
incumbent, Mayor John +. Hylan.
New York being normally Demo
cratic, betting odds today favored
Walker to win. Waterman, how
ever, is making a great fight, &C
cording to his warm supporters who
predict he will ride to victory.
Tammany Hall is back of Walker
and Waterman has charged that
this is an I'll omen for the city.
Walker defends TammanY Hall as
a great force for civic good.
Waterman struck fire once at
least during this apathetic cam
paign when he declared that if
Walker is elected it will mean a.
wide open" town.
Walkers reply was a warm de-
NAL. He insisted he will give the
5000, 900 people of New York "a
clean town"
Governor CAP Smith, warm friend
of Walkers. was in New York to-
day speaking in Walkers behalf.
Charles Evans Hughes, former Sec
rotary of State, has made one
speech in the campaign in which he
nraisad Waterman.
