graphs of the Westerners' pet plays so the var

before the battle
An Eastern team goes West. Will the climate
affect their play? The same when one of the
coast teams comss East. The speculation as
to possible influence wind and moisture may
have in deciding the game is the subject of
frenzisd speculation.
A substitute fullback gets into the game and
runs IS yards with the winning Touchdown.
Here is the occasion for a spread. 1t seems
that Dynamite Joe spent the Summer hauling
ice, chopping wood or the village smithy.
Outside of that, somewhere back in his family

When a small boy he used to pick cherries over

that time.
Coaches cften perpetrate the same brand of
ballyhoo. Perhaps it has to be done, in self
defense One of the cases in point:
After Major CaVanaughS Fordham team
stepped out of their bailiwick and handed a
FASTING to the Wanted hosts of New York
University, Coach Chick Meehan of the VioletS
wasn't decidedly enraptured about the way the
team performed. He had given them orders to
limit their forward passes, or something like
that, and they had thrown that ball somewhere
whenever it came to hand. So Coach Meehan
benched, among others, the very captain of the
team, Mr.. Grant himself.
THIS was shortly before the Penn State game
Hugo Bezdek is coach at Penn State. 1t
may have been only a coincidence, of course.
but Mr.. Bezdek announced almost at the same
time that he had benched Captain Jack Mar
tin. 1t indicated Martin might not start
against New York University, and that Captain
Grant might not start against Penn State.
Somewhat the same situation would have
occurred in base ball if Joe Mccarthy of the
Cubs had benched Charley Grimm for the du-
ration of the world series and Connie Mack
had relegated Mickey Cochrane to the wooden
sofa.
A great opportunity missed here, how
ever. The Penn Staten. Y. u. game should
have been advertised as the battle of the CAB
tainless killers That might not have meant
much, but it would have been good reading
anyway.
An interesting bit of ballyhoo that came
near upSetting Ohio State in their important
game with Iowa perpetrated by Coach
Burt Ingwersen of Iowa. Coach Ingwersen had

OF the best backs in the Big Ten conference
Before the Ohio game, however, Glasgow
was injured Some Monmouth player decided
to alter GlaSsgow's facial contour. 1t is pre-
sumed he used couple of cIeats in doing it.
but the fact is that Glassgow's nose was broken
and his face put out of plumb in a couple of
other respects.
Glassgows injury kept a dark secret
Rumors leaked here and there, as rumors will
that he was hurt and would be out of the
Ohio game. But every time scouts looked over
the Iowa squad at work, there was Glasgow,
big as life, leaping about with all the abandon
of Follies dancer. Maybe he was hurt May
be he wasn't
AT any rate Ohio was waiting for him
1t was not known definitely whether or not
he would play. The Ohio players felt that way
about it. The game started without GLASGOW
but there was feeling of suspense that he
would dash in any minute with a play that
would upset the works He never did Rut
