fullbacks lead the Minnesota Goph-
ers and Iowa Hawkeyes into the lead
ing game of the week in the Big Ten.
The ground gaining proves Of

Nagurski OF Minnesota is likely to

Iowa followers as the equal Of Cor

Wisconsin's hopes Of pushing the
down-trodden Michigan Wolverines
Deeper into the cellar Of the Big Ten
were dimmed yesterday when Gene
Rose Of Racine. halfback, and Joe
Kresky. OF Marinette, guard, were
dropped from the squad for discip-
linary reasons. Both are seniors in
their third year on the squad and
each has won two letters.
Rose scored M OF the touchdowns
against Purdue last week while Kres-
ky. a reformed backfield man, was
one of Coach Thistlethwaite's aces
in the line.
Coach Tad Weiman also had his
troubles at Michigan. John Totzke,
the best punter on the squad, went
to the hospital with a twisted ankle
and probably will be out OF the Wis
consin encounter at Ann Arbor Sat-
urday.
While Coach Stage Of Chicago is
reputed to be again stricken with his
fear Of Purdue" Coach Jimmy Phe-
Ian is doing some fearing of his own.

As the twilight Of October falls o n deserted baseball fields through
out the lands a hearty chuckle emanates from Cleveland, the home Of
George Henry Burns.
George Henry has something to chuckle about. Rare is the old timer,
OF the threshold of retirement, who is tossed overheard by a seventh
place club and lands with champions.
But that's what happened 10 George Henry. With his old legs fast
failing him, Burns fought valanty TO keep his place at first base for the
Indians, but in the last days of the American league ace the Tribe
dropped him TO the Yanks, and il va for the champions that Burns
served in the final days OF the season.
Acquired too late for use in the world series, nevertheless George goes
down in the records as having played with two champ outfts-the Yanks
of 1928 and the championship Indians of 1920.
Burns has the unique distinction of having played for six American
league clubs. In the ii years Of his major league career Burns toiled
five years for Detroit, seven for Cleveland, two for PHILADELPHIA. two
for Boston and a few days for New York.
The maj who holds the big league two-base hit record for n season
and a named the most valuable player in the American league during
the campaign Of 1926 is about through. His big league days ar num-
bered. But you've got to say this for George. lie played OF two big
league champion teams. That's where the chuckIe comes in.

FROGS FIGHT
OFF BIC-HEAD
Win Over Aggies Puts
Feather in Chapeau
OFT. G. u. Squad
Especial to The Her9ld)

FORT WORTH, Tex, Oct. 23.-
Coach Matty Bell was waEing one Of
the hardest battles of his career at
the Texas Christian University Horn
ed Frog camp this week against n foe
that all football coaches know and
fear. The demon Overconfidence has
quite a field in which to work at
Frogland and the Purple mentors are
calling out NIL of their forces to COM
bat the evil.
The crushing 60 victory over the
strong Aggies last Saturday Is quite
a feather in the Frogs cap. Figures
on the fray prove that the Frogs
completely outplayed the Aggies and
only the second period vas the out
come in great doubt. The Frogs
rolled up seven first downs against
five Of the Farmers, and no less than
three Of the Maroon ten-yard gains
were registered via the air quite. The
Frog line played the most sparkling
defense seen on the Farmer field in
long time as the Purple forwards
outcharged, o%utfought and out slash
ed the Aggie first defense.
That the Farmers were defeated at
their own game Of slashing offense
can be readily seen by the tally of
yards gained from scrimmage. The
Frogs gained almost n 100 yards
more than the Aggie backs. In the
third period A. e. NJ. gained only one
yard from scrimmage, while the Pur-
pie ball-toters were ripping through
the Aggie line almost at will.
The Frogs came through the fray
with only n injury and that a
slight one. Clyde Robertson, crack
end. suffered a wrenched leg on the
first play Of the game. Though the
injury may keep him out Of the game
with the Texas Tech Matadors
scheduled for next Saturday. il is
certain that he will be ready for ac-
tion by the time the Baylor Bears in
wade Fort Worth Nov. 8.
One Of the most encouraging spots
in the game Saturday was the fact
that the Frogs now have a tackle
that a play opposite Captain Jake
Williams and hold his own against
all corners. Robert "Red" Moore,
big Graham veteran, turned in one of
the sweetest performances of the sea
son %smearing Aggie offensive threats
and opening holes for the Purple
backs with deadly regularity. IL was
his kicking that featured the first
period play and his control Of punts
was nothing less than marvellous.
All conference bidders are making
themselves known at Frogland with
Williams, Atkins, Grubbs. Moore.
B~rumbelow. Reynolds, Griffith and

One Of the prettiest football fields
in Texas is that of the McAllen high
school. The writer, along with Red
Irvine, athletic director of the local
schools, and Harbert Davenport, To-
cal school board member, enjoyed a
visit yesterday with Coach Jimmy
Dykes of the Bulldogs. The field is
a smooth one, covered with grass,
enclosed by a wire fence, on either
side of the field there being bleach
er seats, capable of comfortably seat
ing fifteen hundred or two thousand
people.
And by the way, this Jimmy Dykes
is a likeable fellow, q coach of prov
en- ability, and his club looks good.
There is a lot Of football interest in
McAllen, and fans there have a
right to be proud Of the Bulldogs.
There is plenty Of experienced lei
on the club, seventeen lettermen from
last years squad, along with several
other players of proven ability.
Earl Morrison, San Benito coach,
is a protege of Ray Morrison's coach
ing schools, Of S. NJ. L.. These
schools are conducted every summer
by Morrison and Freeland. Morri-
son, in his playing days, was a great
quarterback at Vanderbilt, and is a
coach who keeps abreast with the
trend of modern football. In this kind
of atmosphere Earl Morrison has at
tended these schools. Freeland is of
the driving type Of ~coach-you might
say the old-timer.
Earl Morrison was coach at the
Jacksonville school. He played foot
ball and baseball, neither Of which he
starred at, he says.
Despite Baylor's loss 10 Arkan-
sas. some prognosticators are
picking Morley Jennings crew
the grid championship OF the
Southwest conference
And this, too. despite the fact that
most critics upstate pick s. VI. U.
and Texas TO be the two clubs to
battle for honors of the pennant.
Friday afternoon at San Benito,
one of the best games so far this sea-
son, is scheduled to be played. The
Greyhounds and Cardinals will tan
gle. There is a tremendous amount
Of interest and rivalry between the
clubs. Last year San Benito lost to
Harrington. 10 to - in a hard battle
on the Cardinal field.
Both clubs will practically be in
tact. Injuries which hampered both
Denton and Morrison in early season
games have disappeared. Mike Wa
tiers of last years Cardinal machine,
who has been out Of the lineup the
whole OF the season, will be back for
the game Friday, at his guard posi-
ton.
Morrison suffered the loss Of Phil
Brady for good, and Earl Welch for
a while. And Bonnie McWilliam,
giant tackle has been able to play
for the first time in the game with
Mercedes OF last week.
We have been told by a number Of
well known football players and
that includes some All-American tall
ent, that in order to become a great
player. in most cases.. n must play
for a time in the line, IL he happens
to be a backfield man, and a lineman
must have his fling Mt the backfield.
In this way, these fellows reason.
players arc given the opportunity Of
learning to absorb a lot OF punish
ment, first; and second, and in many
other ways, IL gives them a better
slant of their natural position. and
helps them in coordinating with the
other members.
