Good Losers ''Tean, of Punks,''

zuppke has his own ideas about other
things, too.
"They say Notre Dame built up foot
ball." shouted the nlini wizard. "Notre
Dame didn't build up foot ball. Good
roads and Henry Ford-automobiles
transportation-helped build up the
game to what it is now.
THE forward passI They say Notre
Dame invented it. Yeah. Notre Dame
invented 1t seven years after 10000 had
been completed. In the meantime the
Big Ten invented and specialized on the
incomplete pass. And this years Hi
nois team has developed the tumble to
the highest degree"
Bob isn't in sympathy with the move
ment to give the game back to the
students"
Whose game is it, anyway" ne
asked. You can't give any game back
to 10000 students. You can only give
it back to a clique. Anything students
do and run they make mess of. Stu
dents can't think. You've got to have
experience to think, and they haven't
any experience"

DIXIE ELEVENSAPT
TO SCORE HEAVILY
Coaches of North and South
Teams of Conference
Stress 0ffense.

ATLANTA, Ga, December 19.-n
past performances of coaches count for
anything, the all-Star Southern Con-
ference foot ball game in Atlanta New
Year day will be a wild and woolly
scoring battle.
Charles Bachman, head coach of
Florida, and Maj. Bob Neyland, head
mentor Of Tennessee. who Will tutor the
Southern and the Northern elevenS,
respectively, developed two of the high
est scoring elevenS in America in 1923
and 1929.
The Gators under Bachman led the
Nation in scoring in 1928, while the
Volunteers, with 324 points, ranked well
up this year, and Gene McEver was the
individual scoring champion.
Nomination of these two men as
coaches assures the rival teams will be
well drilled in powerful offensive foot
ball. Thus the usual turn of all-Star
games into an air-tight defensive battle
will be avoided and long runs should
result.
Coach Bachman was an All-sAmerica
player at Notre Dame in undergraduate
days and coached at Depauw, North
western and Kansas A. & M. before
coming to Florida in 1928. His teams
have used the Notre Dame system of
offense successfully, In the last two
seasons Florida has lost but two Con-
ference games. In 1928 they were de-
feated by Tennessee by one point in the
only reverse of the campaign. In 1929
they lost only to Georgia Tech in the
South and closed out the season by de-
feating the oregon Aggies in Miami
December 7.
Coach highlands four-year record at
Tennessee is spectacular. The former
Army star player and coach took
charge of the Volunteers in 1926. In
that period his teams have won %
Conference games, tied three and lost
nessee has been indicated.
The Volunteers use variation of the
Army system Of foot ball, and it is prob.
able that the Northern division eleven
will employ this powerful attack.

ly defense can beat attack. Then
the problem is to break through set
defense, such as is shown in the
diagram. Princeton works it by hav-
ing No. 2 rush down and then cut
back to a position to the rear of A,
the man covering the Princeton No.
/ forward. No. 2 receives a pass from
No. 3 as he nears A.
AS this pass comes to No. 2 from
No. 3, No. starts down the side
line past A, receiving the ball from
No. 2. A cannot follow No. /, the
man he is assigned to cover, as No. 2
is in his way. No. l dribbleS for a
shot.
This is known as a block play.
There is much argument about the
legality of such plays. But they are
legal and above board when worked
in this manner and perfectly good
basket ball The defense for them is
for A and B to swap the opponents
they cover.
