name the right play in the pinches.
When this quarter back not only
calls the right play. but as in the
case Of Newman of Michigan, him
self executes forward passes that
click for touchdowns, then this
quarter back must be claSsed with
the great.
AT the half back I have chosen
Risk of Purdue and Berry of Illinois
When Risk was able to play, Pur-
due was a championship team. He
was the spark plug of the purdue
attack and the outstanding half
back of the Big Ten. Berry of Illi-
noiS had just a little more spark
and was just a little more danger
Gus than Lusby of Wisconsin and
Jensvold of Iowa.
Russell Star PIunger
At full back, Russell of North
western is the best line plunger
have seen this year. It was impos-
sible to stop him for less than a
couple of yards, and in my opinion
was the biggest threat in the
Northwestern offense after Rentner
became hurt. He is a fine, all
round player and his 1875 pounds
Of ruggedneSs made him rough
tombre to cope with.

Sasse brought his army squad
Of thirty-eight players to town
Thursday and was not at all reticent
in admitting he expected victory.
THE boys have work ahead of
them, and I've bunch they intend
to accomplish the task" he said. st
haven't a cripple on the squad and
Notre Dame is going to have its
hands full. Don't think we're any
to / shot. We had two breathing
spells and Notre Dame had one swell
afternoon of fighting to get by
Northwestern. I wouldn't be sur
prised to find the Wildcats took
something out Of them.
His Boys Are Clicking
"This gang of mine has just
started to- click. We had "a little
trouble introducing the Warner
system this fall, but we've come
along nicely and intend to complete
the season undefeated. I secuted
Notre Dame myself, you know"
THAT hard Northwestern game
and inability to practice this week
will be big handicap and I'm not
counting on victory" Knute Rockne
said Thursday while attending the
charity football program at Soldier
field. Army has a good team. an
undefeated team, and will have a
big advantage in condition. Unless
we have a change in the weather
we'H be fighting on a gridiron hard
as rock and the game probably will
be one Of the affairs like we played
last year, which can be decided on
a single break"
Zero Weather Expected
Despite the expected near-zero
weather, Rockne's pessimism and
general belief Notre Dame will score
another victory, the contest prom
ised to attract a record crowd of
10000 1t is the first time in the
eighteen-year series that the game
has been staged in Chicago and
western fans last opportunity to
view one of Rockne's greatest teams.
On dope Notre Dame should win,
but dope is frequently upset in this
series and Army must be conceded
a chance Of victory.

Picking an all-Conference team is
not difficult except in one or two
positions. don't believe any one
will question Baker of Northwest
ern at one end with Fesler of Ohio
State at the other.
At the tackles, Van Bibber of
Purdue and Lubratovich of Wiscon-
sin are as fine as pair as you will
find anywhere. Van Bibber was the
backbone of a good Purdue line and
was the inspiration that caused this
group of ordinary lads to play some
inspired football. Lubratovich, who
slunlped badly last year, came back
this year with some sturdy, de
pendable playing, particularly on
defense.
Kabat of Wisconsin, and Wood
worth of Northwestern get the
guard posts. Kabat was the out
standing defensive guard of the
year. Woodwork of Northwestern
is a natural leader and was largely
responsible for the high grade of
play which the Northwestern line
turned in every Saturday.
The position of center is very
hard to pick as there are about
four centers who played steadily
and consistently all through the
year. Morrison of Michigan didn't
have bad pass all year, his weight
made him absolutely impregnable
on line defense and he was shifty
enough to go back into the Sec
ondary and defend against the for
ward pass when necessary. He is
therefore given slight edge.
One of the marks of class thai
distinguish a star quarter back
from an ordinary number caller is to

Sporting Winning Vew York. Point e Touchdown
Macy Depending on Backfield
To Cire 1t Edge on Army Team

A NNAPOLIS, Md, December 12-
~ In spite of the generally opti-
~ mistic feeling among Navy peo-
pie as to the game with the
Army team Saturday, no Navy coach
has yet expressed confidence in a VIC
tory over the West Pointers.
From Bill Ingram down the mentors
believe that the team has improved
greatly and will play a good game
against the Army, but they realize that
the Army has played better average
foot ball than the Navy throughout the
season, and that If both are in form
the chances favor the more experienced
team.
Still, the coacehs do not despair of a
victory by any means. They recognize.
however, that only can the game be
won by the delivery of hard and clean
cut foot ball by the MidShipmen.
No one disputes, for instance, that
the Army is better equipped on end,
and it has a better lot of replacement
in line and backfield. On the other
hand, the Navy is inclined to believe
that its first-string backfeld has some
thing on any combination the Army
can put in the field. .
This leaves two main elements OF
playing upon which, according to local
opinion, the game depends, the COM
parative work of the line from tackle
to tackle and the general equipment
of the teams as to attacking plays and
generalship.
Upon the whole, Navy people are in
clined to believe that the battle will

lot of physical outlet. The task OF
the coaches has been more one of resto-
ration than Of gruelling workouts. The
team has been taught all that their
mentors have to teach, and it remains
now to put the men upon the field fit
to give their best. Thursday they were
not ready and today they would not
be- But two nights of sound sleep,
combined with a pleasant change of
environment, are expected to do the
trick. So Saturday Army adherents
may expect to see an eleven raring
to go.
Sebastian Not to Play.
Sebastian, who filled Letzelter's place
and was the wheel horse of the attack,
will be unable to play and Frentzell,
a third-str.ng back, will take his place.
But otherwise the hospital list has been
cleared. The shock troop expedient, it
has been decided, will not be followed.
If the game can be won and put on
ice at all, it is believed the time to do
it will be right at the start, so the
teams full strength will go into action
at the outset.
whether it remains throughout the
game depends upon the fortunes of war
and the relative status Of the score.
1t is known that the Navy will be
out to give everything it has, and Army
scouts who saw the Penn game have
turned in reports which have led to
anything but overconhdence on the
part of the coaches. They know and
they have made the players realize
that the Army is in for tough after
noon.

In spite of the fact that the Army
has been supposed to have its main
strength at this point. Navy people
are confident that they will not outplay

Last Saturday, the Navy's forwards
utterly outfought and overcame the
linemen Of Pennsylvania, opening great
holes almost at will and having them
almost out of the running as the game
ended. Also, they continually broke
through and tackled behind the line or
mixed up the plays.
OF course, no one here thinks that
the Navy forwards are going to treat
the Army players that way, but they
do believe that the advantage of alert
ness and aggressiveness may incline
their way and have a strong bearing
on the outcome of the game.

IA
N The point after touchdown
IN as part of the game of
foot ball is doomed. 1t is
not out of the question that the
Rules Committee might drop it at
their Winter meeting. In any
case, the days of this unfair and
ridiculous appendage to the game
are numbered.
General satisfaction about the rules
has characterized the current foot ball
season. Feeling is general that the
game is getting pretty close to stand
ardized form, and any material tinker
ing with the body of the sport would
not meet with approval.
But the ditching of the point-after-
touchdown rule would be certain to
meet with commendation of players,
coaches and the foot ball public gen.
orally.
So far as the Rules Committee is
concerned, the aim of this body has
been steadfastly toward the point
where foot ball shall be absolutely a
team game, with the individual promi-
nent only in so far as he is part of
the machine.
Play Too Individual.
In many respects this has been
brought about. but the point after
touchdown still throws a burden of
responsibility upon individual play, and
prominent members Of the Rules Com
mittee have made no secret that they
do not like it.
There is also reason to suspect that
growing feeling that the time has
come when the forward pass should be
somewhat restricted is reflected in those
who have the rules of the game in
their custody
Indeed, 1t was hoped that lateral
plays might in some degree supersede
the overhead toss. In such case with
the defense unbalanced by the attack.
the way would have been cleared for
some action concerning forward pass
ing.
But it begins to look as though the
lateral play would be valuable merely
as part of an offense and not nearly
so important a part as the forward
pass Against a strong line defense and
adequate backf1eld preparation, it would
seem as though the backward pass can
assume little more Importance than at
taches to well-operated element of
system OF attack. So, certainly, nothing
will be done about the forward pass at
this time, or probably for some years
to come.
NOtre Dame System Elastic.
The season started with two great
systems of attack standing as rivals
the Stanford system, as applied by
Glenn Warner, and the Notre Dame
system All told, the Notre Dame
scheme Jared better, especially in view
of its elasticity, as shown against
Southern California, when the Irish
huddled, threw laterals and in general
amplified their tactics.
AS for the Warner system defensive
practice of the two defensive ends
driving in on the offense wingbacks and
cracking them, no matter where they
went or what they did, defensive tackles
more or less waiting on the line in event
that the inrushing ends should be
spilled, was quite successful in check
mating the double wingback in all its
strategical manifestations.
And let it be whispered that the next
radical contribution to foot ball offense
is going TO be sprung upon a bedazzled
defense by gifted young man named
Harry Stuhldreher.
