gain the title. In defeating Western

the margin of their victory Central IN
the opening game of the series, the
Lincoln Parkers have failed to show as
impressively as many expected. IN
neither game has Eastern exhibited an
apapreciable punch on attack, and
especially yesterday its showing in this
department was not so good.
Eastern in Teen will encounter
strong. varied offense but a Stalwart
defense, and Eastern doubtless will have
to do better if it is to turn back Hap

scored EaStern's touchdown yesterday In
the second period, when he shared
pass thrown by Mike Hunt, Western
fullback. and. with good interference,
dashed SIS yards to register. McCarthys
kick for the extra point was blocked.
Mccullough gained additional glory
in the fourth period, when again he
intercepted a Western pass as the
bows in red were staging their most
serious scoring threat Of the day, and
carried the ball from his 20-yard line
to midfield. A few moments later the
final whistle blew.

N YEW YORK, october 27.-The
champion New York Giants OF
the National Professional Foot
4 Ball League have half dozen
prize exhibits to diSprove the
popular idea that pro foot ball players
are too tough and too wise to get hurt.
Earl Potteiger, busy little coach OF
the Giant outfit that won the league
title last season, will stack up his list
of cripples against the casualties of any
college squad in the country. AS a
consequence of the bad start that has
seen some of the teams leading stars
handicapped or forced out altogether
because of injuries, the Giants chances
for repeat victory do not look SO
bright.
About the hardest blow dealt the
team was loss of George Murtagh,
product of Georgetown, who has been
the Giants regular center for two years
He was out of the last two games with
a broken hand and the Giants lost both
games. Cal Hubbard, 250-pound men,
Der of the Geneva team that beat Har-
ward, filled Murtagh's place, but he is
primarily a guard. Murtagh's regular
Max Reed, who played last
year with the Frankford Yellow Jackets,
has been out himself with dislocated
shoulder.
Because of. bad knee, Century Mil
stead, all-American tackle at Yale, has
not been playing up to his great form

IOWA CITY, Iowa, october 27.-One
of the most important games of the

persons to Iowa Field today to see
either Minnesota or Iowa drop from
the championship ladder.
The long anticipated battle between
Iowas Cherokee charger, Mayes Nc

battle-ground for the ponderouS smash
ing backs.
Minnesota's 1000 voyagers and Iowa's
thousands of home -cemers cast an ap-
prehensive look at the skies, fearing
that overnight rains might break out
afresh and turn the party into naval
battle.
Experts favored Minnesota, recalling
16 victories in % meetings, pointing
particularly to the games Of the last
three years in which Iowa has not
scored, while the Gophers have aver
aged 81 points But McLain, who led
the country in scoring in 1926, with
226 points, was not around then and
his advent, along with general team
Improvement, was considered sufficient
to cause much Gopher worry. or pos
sibly despair.
Both teams are heavy, with Iowa
having an advantage of probably eight
pounds per man in the backfleld by
reason of McLain's 215 pounds and
Arrnil's 190-plus.

Coach Marvin Stevens will be un-
der the fire of the Army foot ball
team in Yale's bowl this after
noon in as picturesque game as Is
to be played anywhere on this date.
And his system will meet a severe
test. If Stevens can turn this con-
test for the Ellis and then down
Dartmouth a week later, Yale will
be a much feared opponent for
Princeton and Harvard. If not, any
thing may happen.
It would not be surprising II Stew
ems used q quick kick to help down
the Army. He has seen the last two
Army-Navy games and has probably
had 1t indelibly impressed upon his
memory that the Navy made close
: battles of each against more eX-
perienced team in each case by
timely use of the quick punt. Fur
thermore, when Dartmouth entered
the Yale bowl year ago, right after
overwhelming both Temple and Har-
ward, Yale turned the tide its way
in 1870 victory by use Of a quick
kick.
Yale plays it as shown, the No.
back backing up as the ball Is
snapped and all other teammates
blocking except the two ends.
Against a 1929 denfense-a defense
that utilizes the safety man to stop
plays and paSSes-such kick will
roll for from 10 to 80 yards, as there
Is no defensive man to catch it.
Also look for the Harvard eleven to
make use of it today against Dart
mouth, as the latter team often uses
the 1922 defense.
