Street Says Cards
Are Prepared For
Great Offensive
cabby Is Confident That His
Club Will outpIay East
ern Champions

st. Louis, Sept. 30.-(ReIt Is an
old baseball axiom that no strategy
Is quite so effective as wallop out
of the park. Babe Ruth demon
strated this well-known fact In the
celebrated victory Of brute force"
over the master mind" Of John NC
Graw q number of years ago.
The theory and practice Of the
home run is still good strategy. 1t is
relied upon by the world champion
Athletics just as much as they de-
pend upon the sagacity Of their g.
year-old pilot, Connie Mack, and his
able lieutenants, Eddie Collins and
william (KiO Gleason. in the strug-
gle that starts tomorrow with the
st. Louis Cardinals.
1.-THE best strategy we can employ
Gabby Street says, "is to go out there
and fight the AS off their feet from
the drop Of the hat. I don't know
whether we can outsmart 'em but
feel confident we can outplay 'en
this time.'
The spirit Of the National League
champions is one Of their strong
points, in Streets opinion, but he
knows this will not suffice without
the proper strategy In handling his
pitchers or without reverberations
from the big bats Of Jim Bottomley
and Chick Hafey.

When Lukats was injured last week

his left ankle was fractured. No sign
Of fracture was found and Lukats
hoped to get back in the game. Tues

He will be out for several weeks at

RcNIGg@ THREE LOOM FOOTBALL CHAMPION
Minnesota Prospects Fair, Says Coach
Destiny Of Gopher Schedule De.
pends on 100 Per Cent
Cooperation Of Team

Minneapolis, Sept. 30.-P)-Minne-
sofa may have pretty fair club
this year, in the opinion Of Fritz
Crisler, head football coach and ath-
letic director, and then again, it may
not.
It all depends on the men.
If we get 100 per cent from the
men we'll have pretty fair club. BY
that I don't mean we'll win every
game" he said, "but we'll look good.
On the other hand, If we don't get
100 per cent, we may look poor"
The Gophers' greatest need Is good
ends and tackles and so far, few have
stood out from the rest. Crisler too
is having trouble In making back
field combination strong in every re-
spect.
I'VE have men who are good In
some things but weak in Others" he
said. There are no men good in all
things. If we do get 100 per cent we'll
look good but won't say we'll have
great team. It just isn't in the
squad"
Crisler is schooling his charges for
the Stanford game at Palo Alto, Calf,
Oct. 10 and in preparation for that
tilt he had his offensive organized
last spring. He Is in better posi-
ton now that he was last year, his
first at Minnesota, for he knows the
men and their possibilities better.
"Our prospects are better than last
year. We got some pretty reliable
men back and two or three reliable
new men,"
Jack Manders, big fullback, and
Quentin Burdick, Of North Dakota,
a half, will supply the power in the
backfield. With Brad Robinson de-
veloping into an adept catcher OF
passes, Minnesota will rely greatly on
an aerial attack since In MY" Ubl. a
sophomore, and Pete Somers, q veter-
an, Crisler has two good passers.
Unless the ends can be speeded up
the benefits from the long punts OF
Captain Clarence Mum, guard who
was termed by many experts last year
as the best kicker in the Big Ten,
may be nullified. Munn's accuracy
in placing his kicks where he wants
them however, may offset this to some
extent.

ASPIRE TO THRONE
Coach Dick HanIey Confesses
His Big Band Of Wildcats
Are Looking Good
HAVE ONLY MINOR INJURIES
Michigan Is Flashing a Running
Attack That Astonishes
Spectators
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer)

ASSOCIATED Press Sports WRITER
Chicago, Sept. 30.-P-Two weeks
of hard drill in the Big Ten football
camps today appeared to serve the
same championship strict
ly three-team fight between Michigan,
Northwestern and Purdue for the
title.
When the Big Ten war camps were
thrown open for practice two weeks
ago, 1t was generally agreed the
championship rested among those
three teams. Wednesday, with the
big football battles just around the
corner, it appeared more certain than
ever.
Everything in a football way seems
to be breaking nicely at those three
camps except for few minor injur-
les here and there, while the coaches
at Ohio State, Chicago, Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota, indiana, and
Iowa are deeply engrossed in problems
OF requirements and fundamentals.
Coach Dick Hanley of Northwestern
happily confessed his big band of
Wildcats looked better than ever al
though they faced two exceptionally
hard non-conference battles on the
next two successive Saturdays in Ne
braska and Notre Dame, respectively.
All his regulars have been playing
even better football than q year ago
when they tied Michigan for the title
while some of his sophomore candi-
dates have been improving in rapid
and sensational style. He had re-
placements in profusion and "Pug"
Rentner, his great passing halfback,
appeared to be a far greater player
than Coach Hanley expected.
"The team that beats Northwestern
this year will be some football club"
remarked veteran observer as he
watched the Wildcats smash through
the freshmen In scrimmage yesterday,
"and That goes for Nebraska and
Notre Dame. Why, these fellow ap-
pear to have everything-punch and
great defense"
The same situation prevailed at
Michigan and Purdue where the regu-
lars have been impressive.
During 38 to romp over the re-
serves last Saturday, Michigan's var
sity flashed one of the most power
full running attacks ever witnessed by
local observers. Coach Harry Kipke
had only one real big worry and that
was blocking.
Purdue, with It's veteran backfield
Of Purvis, Risk, Yunevick and White,
back in the fold also has been throw
ing some great practice drills. Risk.
especially, has pleased Coach Noble
Kizer. He was injured during the
Chicago game last year but the blow
failed to crimp his ground gaining
style.
