following resolution:
THE athletic governing board of
Syracuse University, the coach and
the captain of the foot ball team,
feeling that the action of one of it's
players toward an official in the West

craftsmanship and the splendid
spirit of foot ball in an untrue and
unfortunate situation before the pub
lie, desires to tender it's sincere
apology to Referee Swartz, West
Point, the central board officials and
TO Syracuse University for such
action.
I'VE regret the occurrence exceed
ingly and hope that this formal ac-

cuse University in the spirit in which
it is made and in the same spirit that
it was received at a conference in

Scott, Yale's end, does a clever act
in receiving a forward pass when he

isn't lucky. He knows how.

FIGHT ON GRID SHIFT
STARTED IN BIG TEN

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, November 6.-The West
crn Conference is taking up arms
against the shift in foot ball.
Il intend to do everything in my
power to eliminate the shift play"
said Bob Zuppke, Illinois coach, in
discussing the likelihood of such ac-
ton at the rules committee meeting
this Winter in New York.
The offensive eleven has too much
advantage. he argued, in hurting it's
attack against the defensive team
with the aid of momentum acquired
by rhythmic shifting, which is with
in or without the law by the margin
of a seconds fraction.
Stagg at Chicago wouldn't like to
see that happen" but confessed that
there doesn't seem to be any other
change in the present rule except to
abolish the shift entirely
Suggestion of general support of
the view by Eastern coaches comes
from Tom Thorp, Eastern official
who agrees with Zuppke that officials
find ii virtually impossible accurately
to enforce the law and believes 80
per cent Of the coaches of the sea-
board favor abolition of the shift.

| GRID TANGLE EXISTS
IN MISSOURI VALLEY
BY LAWRENCE PERRY

NEW YORK, November 6-Never
in history has there been such an ap-
parently hopeless confusion with re.
spect to leading elevens in the Mis-
souri, Valley Conference.
At this time it seems likely that the
season will close with three, four or
even five teams possessed of equal
claims to top ranking.
Yet Nebraska today looks to be the
most powerful eleven in the valley
circuit. The Cornhuskers have five
backf1elds and all of them are good
combinations.
Last Saturday. against Iowa State,
Ernie Bearg, the coach, used his sec
ond, third and fourth backflelds and
his second, third and fourth and fifth
string quarterback Nebraska de-
feated her opponent 81 to 6.
Missouri the previous week inter
cepted a forward pass that gave her
a 7-to3 victory over Iowa State, and
the IowanS outruShed and outdOWned
the Columbians.
Comparative scores do not mean
very much as rule, but the scores
against Iowa State made by Nebras-
ka and Missouri show a discrepancy
so great that it is difficult to ignore
LIl0 lIidl just ilOW tHc
coin eleven is stronger than Missouri.
Yet in the second game of the sea-
son Nebraska lost to Missouri, and lost
because the Columbia team played
better foot ball. In this contest, while
Nebraska did show great power, she
did not have the unity and cohesive
ness necessary to overcome superior
team play.
Since that day the Cornhuskers
have made a marked improvement in
attack, but they are still weak de-
fensively as compared to Nebraska
eleVens of the past.
On November 13, the men Of Lin
coin get a grilling test against the
Kansas Aggies. These farmers are
a great eleven, make no mistake. Just
now the chances are they are superior
to Nebraska. Maybe by next week
Bearg will have brought his Nebras.

Without breaking his stride he tore
on down the field, going so yards
