According to Mr.. Foreman. there are

GRID "DOORMATS"
BECOME CHOICES
Indiana, Ohio State and Iowa
Picked to Win Big Ten
Games This Week.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCldbSu FTeoas
CHICAGO, October 1.-THE foot ball
doormats of the Western Conference
will have their chance Saturday to
prove that they no longer are stepping
stones to gridiron titles. For the first
time in recent years Indiana. Ohio
State and Iowa will enter their first
conference game, not only favorites to
win. but contenders for the Big Ten
championship.
Despite bear stories out of the In
diana camp, the Hoosiers are given the
edge over the rookie Michigan eleven
that went down to defeat last week at
the hands of Ohio Wesleyan. Trobaugh,
veteran Indiana guard, Is definitely out
of the game, and 1t is doubtful If Rein
hardt, who scored the only touchdown
against Oklahoma last Saturday, will
be in the lineup.
Though Iowa has managed to defeat
Chicago only once and tie the Maroons
on another occasion in their IL gridiron
contests, she will enter Saturdays fray
slight favorite. This favoritiSm
comes because of Mayes McLain, 210-
pound Indian fullback, and the much
heavier Iowa forward, Wall. McLain
scored 235 points in 13 games at Has
kell In 1925 and showed some of his
olu Time form against Monmouth last
week, although In the game only a few
minutes.
OF the three erstwhile doormats,
Ohio State appears to have the hard
est assignment in Dick Hanley's North
western Wildcats. Jack Wilce will be
pitting strong line against Handley's
versatile backf1eld. Injuries took its
toll in the Ohio camp yesterday, when
Hardy Kruskamp, fullback, who only
recently returned to the squad after
a knee injury. again injured the knee
and was declared out of Saturdays

Aid to Prohibition.
Nothing will excel athletics and the
competition of sports as an antidote
for drinking and carousing, in the
opinion of Coach Stagg. Drinking offers
no problem at all to the athletic direc-
tor today, because aspirants. for the
college teams know the evils of in
temperance. Stagg says prohibition has
improved student morale.
1T Is my opinion that, with the en-
larged freedom young people now have,
Il prohibition were not in existence
there would be an immeaSurably greater
amount of drinking than there is," he
said.
Parents need a scorching in this day,
If any one does. the coach went on. He

says they had better settle down, rather

do you expect foot ball to change
much in the future2" Stagg was asked
IT think the game is now pretty near
ly perfected" he replied. 1T has chang
ed astonishingly In third of century,
the tendency always being from the
closed, mass play to open work. But
a fine balance has been struck between
the offense and the defense, and that is
what is needed to make any contest
thrilling. If there is any noticeable
tendency in the game it is toward work
ing more for touchdowns and less for
field goals"
Likes TwO-team Idea.
Dual teams for each college or uni
versity, one playing at home and the
other away on the same date. would
be a good thing, in Stages opinion
The only difficulty is in getting enough
first-class players. The Chicago coach
said the idea behind the movement was
to keep great bodies of students from
travelling around to root for their teams.
Faculties want them to stay home more,
SO studies may not be ihterferred with
SO much.
The most serious indictment to be
made of modern foot ball, according to
Stagg, is in the methods some in
stitutions use to enroll star players
from high schools. Inducements that
are not on a par with the best sports

and a cleanup is needed.
