THOSE ELBOW PADS
@OACH YOUNG and his
Pennsylvania U. football
~ players must take this
football game very seriously. Why
else would they put such big pads
on their funny bones? Nou surely
have heard of the latest gstrategy"
of the fasteners who wear leather
elbow pieces which look like foot
balls)
Coach Zuppke of Illinois is
smart, but willy Lou Young
seems to have beat Zupp to
something good. Beware, Lou.
The IlIini coach may substitute
balloon in place of a pigsliin next
Saturday and Frosty Peters will
boot a 75-yard drop-kick. AIS
fair in love and war and football.
Pennsylvania says that the
eastern rules committee has put
the official o. X. on the leather
elbow pads. The team that wears
them has put the X. o. on all It's
opponents so far.
''NOw you see it and now you
don't. Gather closely, gentle
men and watch the little football
b. disappear. Where is it nOw?"
The ''fOur magicians" of Penn
sylvania will perform at Illinois
stadium next Saturday. just how
many does the stadium hold?
Well, that's the number that
will be on hand to see the magic
stuff. Such publicity surely is
tough OH attendance records.

Some of these days a football
coach is going to India and study
the disappearing act Of some Of
the far-East fakirs. A husky half
back will vanish in thin air, only
to show up behind the opponents
goal line. Then the rules will have
to be changed again.

From here on in there will be
much talk of the ethics of foot
ball. And most of those who do
the talking simply are disap-
pointed because they did not
think of the elbow pads first.

JUST A BOY.
TO7WNIE BUSH, new manager
Of the Pittsburgh Pirates,
is youngster again.
If you don't believe it,
look at the pictures used Tues
day in many newspapers through
out the country upon the an
nouncement of the former Tribe
pilots new job with the Pirates.
Editors dug up the cuts from old
files and there is Ownie-just a
kid. He's pretty smart for boy.

Yale whipped the Army last
season-did it to the tune OF 28-7.
There wasn't much doubt about it.
The two meet again next Satur-
day. The score won't be as large,
but we venture a guess that Old
Eli again will be on top.

What's this? Bobby Jones
twelfth in field Of a dozen
starters. Surely not. Yeah,
that's what happened Tuesday,
but it wasn't ON the golf links.
Bobby Jones finished very much
an "alsO ran" i'm the third race
at Laurel. A race horse with
such a name will have to do
better than that.
1NDIANA UNIVERSITY has
it's homecoming on .Satur-
day at Bloomington. The
feature entertainment for old
grads is the Northwestern-I u.
football game. The Crimson un-
doubtedly is the underdog. In
the previous meeting between the
GICNCilS lIll3 SGiSOlL Tic PIC
won, 20 10 O. Another Big Ten
game was lost to Wisconsin.
1t is at such a time that the
alumni have an opportunity to
show their real colors. A battling
team fights hardest when 1t is be-
hind. The grads can show their
confidence in Coach Page by pour
ing out in numbers and support
ing their team.
There is no reason why the
alumni and students cannot take
on some Of the virtues they expect
Of the football players. 1t is so
easy to quit as things are going
against you-so hard to keep on
with the fight.
ETAHAT is this world coming

Ill weight champion, is to en-
ter Stanford University next year
and take a general course. Gene
Tunney, heavyweight champ, is re-
ported to be fond of heavy" read

polished gentleman.
