And so Saturday after Saturday
upsets occur. high hopes are destroy
ed, kings are dethroned and common
ers sit in the seats of the mighty.
In brief. foot ball does not run true to
preliminary form with frequency suf-
ficient to give pre-game dope any
value of eXactness.
If the stock market were as diff
cult to dope as foot ball, Wall Street
would soon become an abandoned
lane, and if advance calculations III
horse racing were as inexact as they
are in foot ball, Laurel and other
great tracks would long ago have
been plowed and sown with seed.
Mystery to Coaches.
And the reason is psychology. Very
often coaches can develop this quality
and fan it into white-hot flame. But
it is a mystery even to them. Bill
Roper, a master psychologist, has
admitted that he was surprised and
amazed at the blazing mental mood of
his men as registered on Yale field
last year, a mood which discounted
physical comparisons of the two sets
of players and thrust aside as negligi-
BILE all that had happened in the
season up to that game.
And If a coach Is thus at loss, how
is an outsider to speak with authority
as to what teams of the same general
classification may or may not do
when they meet? But here lies after
all one of the very great attractions
of the college game, the thing that
makes intercollegiate foot ball what
it is and what it always will be so
long as there exists not only that
willingness to die for dear old Rut-
gers, but to slay in her behalf.
Working toward a place in the sun.
there is no telling how far the Oregon
Aggies will go this year. on October
first big game of the Pacific Coast
Conference series, beating California

1t may we'll be that the great con-
test of the Pacific Coast will fall on
November 13, when Dutch Schissler's s

dunn, at Portland.
Throughout the Far West, when the
writer was out there, were heard
stories that foot ball players from
States far remote from Oregon had
come West to play foot ball at Corval-

Now the fact is that this agricultural
school does draw widely, some 80
States and foreign countries being

ARMY AND SYRACUSE
WILL PROBE CONTEST


NEW YORK, October 27.--The New
York Evening Post yesterday said
that Chancellor Charles Wesley Flint
of Syracuse and Brig. Gen Merch
Bradt Stewart, superintendent of the
United States Military Academy. will
open an investigation next Monday
into the Army-Syracuse foot ball
game on October 16, in which three
Syracuse and two Army players were
baly hurt. Raysinger, Syracuse quar-
terback. later resigned from the squad
because of an alteration with the
referee.
Reports that Army officials have
been checking up on the extent of the
Syracuse injuries for the past few
days were denied at the academy to-
day, the paper says.
"Whippet' Carr, star of the Orange
backfield and leading point scorer of
the Eastern colleges. suffered a severe
knee injury that probably will keep
him on the side line for the remainder
of the season.
Injuries to Goldman and Friedman
members of the Syracuse squad, were
not so severe.
Trapnell, big Army back and fore
most kicker of the team, was badly
hurt about the head and face, but
time for n part of the Yale contest
Saturday. Elias, a sub tackle on the
Cadet eleven. is believed out for the
season with a twisted knee.
Play during the game. the first
played between the two institutions in
several years, was extremely hard
and following the contest reports that
Army and Syracuse would sever rela
tions could not be verified. Baysinger
was banished from play for assauiting
Referee Schartz.
After a conference between coach
"pete" Reynolds and Chancellor Flint.
Baysinger announced his withdrawal
from the team. At that time the
coach issued statement in which he
declared the young man showed his
courage and manlness by admitting
his fault. His teammates also ex
iressed their belief in him.

Just how formidable is the Reina

fact that their record for two seasons

who after three years of arduous and
unremitting toll have developed Il foot
ball team that already stands among
the strong outfits of the country.
SchiSsler, the coach, who migrated
to Oregon from the Middle West, says
that in the past three years probably
six boys have entered Corvallis from
the Middle West as a result OF his per-
sonal acquaintance with them, and that
of this number only two are on the
varsity squad and they are on the sec
ond team.
One of the great fullbacks of the
country is Schulmerich of the Aggies.
He weighs over 200 pounds, is fast,
elusive and hits the line with the
power of a NeVers. In fact with
Nevers and Wildcat Wilson out of the
intercollegiate show, Schulmerich
seems to be wearing both their man
ties.
There is another back of the rarest
brand on the West Coast, youngster
named Kaer, playing quarterback,
who will be recalled as an Eastern Wis
itor with the University of Southern
California track team last Summer.
1t is hard to stop him once he gets
under way, and he has lots of foot
ball brains.
It looks as if Penn and Illinois
would not play again in some time
after this season. Not in the next two
years anyway; for the Quakers have
agreed to play Chicago on Stage
Field in both 1927 and 1928, this re-
quitting the Maroons for their two
visits.

Reports from Penn State reveal that
the Nittany Lions are not taking so
seriously their impending engagement
with George Washington, although
the latter team is by no means un-
derestimated. But the Penn Staters
reasonably figure that the Colonials
