PASS GAME HINGES
ON TEAMS AGILITY
IIlini Coach Sees Few in
Midwest Able to Use
1t Extensively.
BY BOB zUPpKE,

Foot Bah Coach, University of ILLINOIS.
~ AMPAIGN, Ill, November
A. Some commentators
~ think the forward pass is
being used more extern
sively and more successfully in
the Middle West than ever before,
but doubt it. Both Northwest
ern and Michigan, which lead the
Big Ten Conference, depend con-
siderably upon attack by air,
especially Michigan, but I believe
that when the season ends it will
be found that its use and success
has been about the same as in
previous seasons.
Against inexperienced and less agile
players strong passing attack looks
wonderful, and fans wonder why teams
waste strength with running attacks
But let the same strong aerial ofense
be used against team that4ts equally
experienced and mobile-then the story
Is likely to be different.
Coach Hanley's Northwestern Wild
cats used the pass with deadly effect in
defeating Minnesota. Rentner is gooo
thrower and Baker an exceptional
leaper. There are few high-class re-
ceivers of the type of Carney of Illi-
nois and Oosterbaan of Michigan, who
could stretch that extra inch and we'll
nigh achieve the impossible.
Agility is the word in modern foot
ball, and the Gopher linemen, although
they are more powerful than Illinois
forwards, for instance, could not move
quickly enough to cover the Northwest
ern end.
Bruder's Return PIeaSes.
Everybody was glad to see Capt.
Bruder of Northwestern back after his
enforced layoff in smallpox quarantine,
and it is not strange that he did not
burn up the gridiron extensively. BY
the time Northwestern meets Wisconsin
and Notre Dame we can pass Judgment
on the belief of Dick Hanley that
Bruder is the best all-around player he
ever has seen.
Indiana and Wisconsin are the re-

Eleven Pinned Baylor Zpke Doubts Air Play Has

naming obstacles in the path of North
western to the championship or q tie.
Michigan did not play Saturday, The
Wolverines must beat Minnesota and
Chicago in the conference to win the
title or share it. 1t is probable they
can do it.
The only surprise in the Big Ten was
that Ohio State could hold Wisconsin
to scorelesS tie The Badgers showed
a trifle more strength, but did not have
any punch. Wisconsin had more power
than the Buckeyes, but its backs could
not stretch their gains.
We probably have overrate Wiscon-
sin on the strength of its big score
against Pennsylvania, but Ohio State
was better team than its start tndi-
Gated, and Coach Willaman apparently
is developing his players, who lacked
seasoning. Fesler was the handspring
of the Buckeyes, appearing as a back
ana passer and playing end on defense.
Purdue Fleet Powerful.
Purdue was far too fleet and power
full for Illinois, as was expected. All
the Purdue backs could run, and they
were hard to bring down. They blocked
well and stayed together. Against our
slow, little team they looked invincible.
Probably, Purdue, which has lost one
SAINT MICIlASdH by a single point
is one of the good teams of the coun-
try.
A tie between Chicago and Prince
ton seemed to be a fair verdict. Chicago
did better than I expected, even con-
ceding the Indifferent showing of the
Tigers this year.
Indiana did well to hold Notre Dame
to 81 points and certainly does not
suffer by comparison with some of the
more highly touted teams which have
fallen under the chariot wheels Of the
Irish.
Nobody gave Iowa much of a chance,
II any, to beat Detroit, and the Hawk
eye win was surprise 1t may be De-
troit is weaker than usual. Iowa is
certainly far below standard. This re-
suit seems to indicate it is Just as well
for Detroit. looking merely at its OPP
portunity for victory and not at the
other factors involved, that the pro-
posed charity game with Michigan cam
not be played. I hope irate Detroit
fans before writing me will recall
have paid due tribute to Gus Dorais'
fine teams in the past.

Battling Battalino holds the
official rating as world featherweight
champion, a young man from Los An

claim himself the best of the 1866

La Barba, once a student of Stanford
University and before that champion of
all the fiyweights, proved his right to
titular recognition among the feather
weights last night by clearly outpoint-

in torrid 10-round engagement that
drew 10000 persons, the biggest crowd
of the indoor season so far, to Madison
Garden.
Chocolate dropped a decision last
Summer to Jackie Kid Berg, foremost
challenger for the lightweight title, after
winning a decision from Al Singer, pres
ent 135-pound king, about 18 months
ago. Last night. however, was the first
time Chocolate has ever been beaten by
a man of his own class, the feather
weight division.
La Barba Gets Even.
BY the victory La Barba reversed a
decision that went against him in his
first match with Chocolate here two
years ago. Last night, having learned
apparently by the previous engagement,
Fidel kept up an everlasting lombard
