~ ON MILLER, who has trans
ferred from Georgia Tech to
Ohio State as backfield coach.
~ makes statement that many
will regard as surprising. He
says that there have been several back
fields greater than the famous four
horsemen of the Notre Dame 1924
eleven.
In this he is found to be at variance
with the prevailing opinion that in
point of versatility and nice co-ordina-
ton the backfield Quartet made up Of
Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Lay
den has never been cqualed.
But Miller ought to know. He thinks
that the Yale backfield of 1928. which
included Bill Mallory. Lyle Richeson,
Ducky Pond and Nal Stevens. was
superior combination, and also the
Stanford backfield the year Ernie
Nevers was captain and fullback.
One could go back and pick number
of fine backfields in the years: that Is,
before the forward pass was legallzed.
Who can say what fame backheld
such as that at Princeton in 1895. made
up of Harry Smith, Billy Barnard, Ad
Kelly and John Baird, would have
gained had it had the forward pass
asset? Or some of those grand Yale
backfelds in which Vance Mccormick,
Frank Butterworth. Lee McClung,
Laurie Bliss, Barbour. Thorne ana the
rest were so prominent.
Speed Needed Now.
Those, however, were the days OF
power backfields, and Miller says give
him a team with a speedy backfield in
preference to power combination
every time.
Speed and deception" Don opines.
"are the foundation Of any backfeld."
These elements will bring about more
scores and more cheers from the crowd
in one game than Joesting & Co. will
bring in five. The slogan which NIL
Ter will hang up at Ohio State Is, PLAY
to Score; Don't Wait for the Other Fell
low to Make Mistakes. He May Not
Make Any"
Bill Alexander's attitude toward Mil.
lers departure from Atlanta was charac-
terized by all the winning qualities Of
this gallant gentleman and great
sportsman. He told Don that II 1t
would help his legal practice to be
coaching within short distance of his
law Office that was the place for him
to be. And that was all there was
to it.
Tech will have to do some scratching
to find his like. No doubt great care
will be observed in selecting Miller's
successor.

plans to put strong team into
the running for local honors this
Spring. Two enthusiastic groups OF ex-
perienced sharpshooters are hard at
work on the range under the supervi-
sion of Miss Ruth CulbertSon, faculty
adviser, from which will be selected the
first and second string rif1istS for the
school squad which will compete in the
annual interscholastic girls champion
ship of the District, which was won
several years ago by the Fasteners.
In addition to the experienced group,
there are a number of promising begin
ners on the range who probably will
figure prominently on future squads.
Monday and Wednesday afternoons
are the periods set aside for the range
practice of team candidates. In addi-
ton to this. some seven or eight of the
leading markSWomen are firing in the
individual N. r. A. matches for medal
honorS, and number of medals al
ready have been received. Jane Meme
fee, captain of the squad, has earned
three bars toward her expert marks
mans medal, as has Edna Frayser.
Lucille Blakeney, manager, has been
awarded one bar for her expert medal
since the first of the year, while Vir-
ginia Galatzo and Isabelle Neetz have

badges. Mary Wiles has received pro-
marksman's medal and Edith Dodge is
shooting for this record now.
Later in the season the Fasteners
plan to fire in some of the N. r. A..
bi-weekly team matches. Western
rifiists already are firing In these and
have won place in the first division
by their skill.
Among the experienced shooters, in
addition to Misses Menefee, Frayser,
NeetZ, Wiles, Dodge and Galatzo, are
Gladys Durrer. Weltha O'Steen, Louise
Gibson, Mary Ayers, Audrey Dean,
Faith Carlson, Mary Jane Milford,
Hazel Signor, Eleanora Seidler, Ruth
Clark and several of the Wednesday
evening group whose names have not
been reported.
GunstOn Hall basketers opened their
mterscholastic court season with
victory over the Fairmont School six
yesterday, scoring by a 25-to-10 count
on the Y. w. G. A. floor.
Greater speed on the floor and ac-
curacy in shooting gave Gunston Halls
aggregation the advantage. At half

to Helen Stout, the new athletic direc-

Basket Ball Problems
BY OSWALD TOWER,
Member Joint Rules Committee.

Question: new note at the end of
rule 7, section z, states that If the
ball strikes an oficial it is not dead,
but that play continues as If the ball
had not touched him. If the official is
out of bounds when the ball strikes him
what is the decision?
Answer-The ball Is dead and Is
awarded as an out-of-bounds ball to an
opponent of the player last touched by
the ball inside the boundary lines. In
this case the ball is dead because it
struck an object which was out of
bounds.

HARVARD STARTS
 WORK FOR YALE
Crimson Eleven Gave Evidences
 Of Being Stale Saturday

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. IS (Ps- The Harvard varsity football team. which gave evidence of being q bit stale in Saturdays Holy Cross clash, will start it's final drive for Yale here this afternoon. Every member of the squad. except Joe Potter, IS m good physical condition. Potter, who started as fullbacll against the Pur- pie. broke a bone in his left leg and will be out of the game.
 Though Harvard had but little trouble defeating the Purple, Head Coach Arnold Horween was not pleased with the showing made by his players. The team did not cN- hibit it's usual brand of football and Horwcen, with but five days left be- | fore his objective game, appears 10 have q difficult job on his hands getting the Crimson back into stride. The only bright feature of the Holy Cross victory was the bril- liant play of Charlie Richards. a second string center, who was in the starting lineup. He proved himself Ito be a worthy replacement for Ben TiCknor. the regular snappcrback
 and most dependable linoman on the Harvard squad.
 Horwecn's chief problems appear ed to be the stlfcning Of his for wards, the speeding up Of his run ming attack, and the finding of q positive check for Albic Booth and the other speedy Eli ball carriers,
 It is likely that HorWccn will be
 satisfied with a light workout this
 afternoon and will not bear down on
 his squad until tomorrow and Wed ncSday.

 LEADING LEAGUE
Take First Place in Handball
 at ' Courts

The Nogcl- ergstrom team again took the lead last week in the 101 handball tournament at the Y. Nj. C. A., while the Roche Rosenberg team, leading last week, dropped down to fourth place. Mag and Hawkins moved up from third place to second place, while Greenstein and Lawson landed in third place from fourth.
 Four matches were played off this past week. Vogcl- H ergstrom defeat ed Dresscl- Grove 55 to 46. Green stein-L Lawson defeated Strong Cianci 56-45. DresseI- Grove accumulated 54 points to their opponents, Andcr- son and Clare, 47. In the final match the Delaney-Daley team gave the Strong -Cianci team a great battle only to lose, G3 to 3S.
 One team has changed partners due to illness The ManGan-Hib- bardteam now will enter the tourna- ment as the Mangan-Parker duo. This latter team will have to start all over, and scores made by op- posing teams against the old team of Mangan and Hubbard will be sub tractcd.
 Three attorneys and one promi- ncnt physician about the city hap pencd to hear the following conver- sation taking place between two fair ly good handball players who hap pen to be at present runncrs-up in this league this week: After we win this tournament we might as well split up so we can obtain a littlc competition. We are the best doubles team in New Britain and that is not saying muchfi and we feel that we are ready 10 take the state cham | pion Warner brothers and we vii | tell the world that we will win and i then hang up our gloves and shoes | I come from an athletic family ana that accounts for my being so good only thing that troubles me is that am not appreciated by the handbal | fans in this city. But that doesn' moan much so few have made { very thorough study of the gamt 1 anyhow.'
 And then the locker-room light! went out so what followed was los in the dark. Anyway the three law ycrS and the prominent physician ! had important engagements else where so it didn't matter much.
