CENTERS
MAKE GOOD
ELEVENS
They're Getting Credit Now
That the Seasons
About Over.
By HERBERT REED

Copyright. 1925. by Universal Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.--Many OF
them may have to wait till the end Of
the football season--till the tumult
and the shouting over the wonderful
passing and running backs have died
away before getting anything like
the credit that is due them. Some
of them never will receive that
credit.
1 speak now of the football CEN
tiers that have made the present spec
tacular game possible. Without q
Mcmillan at Princeton there would be
a good, even fine, but perhaps not
sensational Slagle in action; with
out Schimetitsch at Columbia, Pease
and Kirchmeyer would have consid-
cradle difficulty in working out both
their fancy passing and running
games. And so it goes right through
the list.
There is a tendency now to watch
the center on defense. The public
has been educated up to that. 1t
took time to do that. 1t will prob
ably take more time to educate the
public up to the center on attack.
CAPTAINS THE TEAM.
It is noticeable, too, that in many
cases the modern drift is to make the
center the captain Of the team. In
the old game it was considered that
the quarterback more often had con
troll Of the game. Sometimes another
lineman was chosen. Sometimes an
end. partly because the latter was in
a fairly free position. But today the
center Is the line leader on attack
and the spear-head Of the defense.
That is the modern trend.
And yet there are times when the
whole attack falls to pieces when
some man can reach the center and
spoil his passing. Any time one finds
a modern team fumbling it is a safe
guess that somebody has been work
ing on the center.
For time Dobie had a great run
Of victories with his Cornell eleven,
Thn somebody discovered the key to
his attack, which was the center. The
b., guard was taken out and a small,
fast man sent into the guard posi-
ton on defense. Cornell started fun

hat one thing rather than any vast
superiority on the part of the oppo-
nents.
ZUPPKE SOLVES PROBLEM.
In this connection it will be re-
mcmbered that Zuppke was worried
in the early pSrt Of the season, not
merely by the open field blocking, but
by the work Of the center. He had on
hand a big, aggressive man named
Mitterwallner, natural leader, and
a natural football player.
lie tried but simply could not make
a passing center out of him. He was
a fine defensive man, but the passing
was so poor that neither Grange nor
any other good back could get under
way with his passing.
Now many coach would have been
~ sore that he would have deposed
this man from the squad.
Not 80 with Zuppke. The crafty
Illinois coach patiently worked up a
new center, and moved the battling
Mitterwallner to guard. He is today
one of the best guards in the coun-
try.
Sometimes il is possible to move
a guard over to center and make n
passer OF him. This is what was
done so brilliantly with Mcmillan at
Princeton

Captain Mona" Rees Of the Brack-

and came out of the encounter with q

Rees' injury materially strengthened
the Cadets chances to play the CLASSY
Purple eleven on even terms, West
Texas believes. With Bass and Rees
playing the two wing positions, the
Cadets argue, there would have been
little chance of a successful end run

Cadets are apt to take in valuable
ground around that direction.
The disastrous results Of either
Rees' or Bass absence from his wing
was forcibly demonstrated recently in
the first quarter of the Breckenridge
Houston Heights game. Bass was out
with an injured side. The flashy Dee
of the Houston eleven skirted that
wing with regularity for gains up to
twenty yards. Had it not been for
Billy Sweets great defensive play the
Heights team undoubtedly would have
put across at least one touchdown.

West was a hero in Needles because
of his record in that famous strike.

the company for the engine and car.

When the shipments strike was at

firemen, conductors and trainmen had
complained that the lack of repairs to
the engines and cars made their work
unsafe, the company imported force

doing some OF the work of shOpmen.
When the brotherhood men refused,
and when conductors asked gunner
for their tickets, the gunner thrust
the muzzles Of revolvers against the
ribs of the conductors, and with OBJ

How Workers Should
Not Live-But Do

To the DAILY WORKER: Green
Bay, Wis, is favorably located, in
one of the most prosperous states in
the union. One would think so at
least if you draw your conclusion
from the daily press.
Green Bay has population of over
$4,000 and as one passes thru the
city one sees many large factories.
One year ago many of these indus
tries were operating full time while
today they stand idle for the most
part.

tiers receive $3.50 and $500 for ten

There are however two carpenters

for men could not learn, for women
1t is rs cents per hour. Hundreds of
men are idle while women are forced
to do heavy work.
When operating full force, the
American Writing Paper Co. employs
about $50 persons At the present
time IS persons are employed, mostly
young boys and girls. Here wages for
boys are $3.50 for ten hours, while
girls get from s1.25 to $500.
In the department stores where
girls are required to dress we'll, look
WELL and act well, wages are $1.OO to
$3.50 per day for eight hours. The
girls are unorganized.
They Have Their Little Jokes.
| applied for a job at the federal
employment Office, the only one in
Green Bay. Here are some of the
questions asked the applicant Where
were you born? Citizen? How old?
Where were your parents born? Are
they citizens? What grade were you
in when you left school? Why are
you out of job? Do you own prop
erty? Ans. No.. Why not?
The job in question was one as
cook, hours were from a. m. to $50
p. m. wages were $50 per month.
In the land "of the free, and the
home of the brave" the workers are
so meek as to permit themselves to
be questioned in this manner.
The cost of living is exorbitant
Rent, for a five room cottage ranges
from $35 to $45. Wood is $500 a
cord, coal SIS per ton.
Some one at the employment office
said that every few days some one
ends his misery by jumping into the
bay.
And even this avenue of escape
from capitalist tyranny will end with
the freezing of the bay.
