HEADY PILOT
CALLS BEST
PLAY TWICE
BY BOB ZUPPKE
: University Of Illinois
Football Coach

There is nothing mysterious
about the mental activities Of a
good quarterback. All he does
is use good common sense.
You can Just about bet that
two-thirds Of the quarterbacks
calling signals today when a
play. suddenly gains 10 yards are
apt to call it again. Instead they
are likely to feel around fol
numbers in the bag and call the
first one in their mind.
One Of the hardest jobs Is to
induce a quarterback to call
plays again that have worked
Somehow the boys get an idea
in their head that the foe will
necessarily know how to stop it
next time.
The smart quarterback makes
them prove they can solve 1t.
The rare quarterback mixes
things up-first hammers the
line-then the wings and when
he has the defense drawn in
shoots a pass. He remembers
that the first two plays out Of
the, allotted four that he calls
should be touchdown" plays;
that is. have scoring possibilities
but that the third play should be
to attempt to complete a first
down.
Play Nets Touchdown
In my old days at Oak Park
High School we were playing at
Portland, Ore, on muddy field.
Milton Ghee, our quarterback.
later, an All-American at Dart
mouth, called an intricate play
a triple pass. The other players
objected, but the play gained 30
yards and a touchdown.
Frank Carideo was fine ex-
ample of a quarterback who not
only directed a team but passed,
kicked and carried. I imagine
Carideo would have shone on an
inferior team as well. That is
the real test of a quarterback
to get the most out of a poor
team, keep it out of holes and
make the enemy earn everything
it gets. It's lot easier to pilot
a superior team for often the
wrong play works.
In 1914 Illinois was playing
&HA R4IAnN AR oh a NAS0RN-
ship campaign against WiScOn-
sin. One of our backs, Wagner,
was known as "Cut In" Wag-
ner. Wagner was an excellent
back but 1t had taken lots of
labor to induce him to cut
back into the line after he had
started to run. Finally he
mastered it but unfortunately
"cut in" nicely when he had
clear field for a touchdown.
In the Middle West there are
few outstanding quarterbacks
just now but the crop is new.
Jack White, of Purdue. is one
veteran whose absence is keenly
felt if he is not in the Boiler
maker lineup. This was shown
last year when Indiana upset
Purdue. Some of our great quar-
ters of the past have been Ecker
sail and Steffen. of Chicago:
Clark and Bobby Fletcher. of
Illinois; Stinchcomb, of Ohio
State; Uteritz and Weeks, of
Michigan.
Fletcher and Uteritz we're not
all-around players. Their Job
was simply to run the team but
a quarterback who does that we'll
earns his salt.

Synopsis: Venice Muir de- termires to be braZen and openly purSues a man who in torcsts her, after years of shy ness and unconfidence. She has grown used to her lack of popularity, and knows that she cannot be light and amusing. Her lcveliness is offset by her immatuIity and lack of allure. One man, Drake Farrelly, has seemed to like her. At the Manning's dinner, Venice meets Ronald Wainwright, most at tractive young man, who looks like a faun. Her friend Lola tells her that Wainwright is the darling of New York, and that he likes women to be gay. Venice starts conversation with him, but girl with cerise nails takes him away from her. Venice breaks away from so- Der man with ever obvious spectacles, and gees over to the place where Wainwright is standing alone.

 "Why did you do that?" she cried. Her cheeks were flaming. She put her palms against them as though to ease their burning.

THE tendency Of flowers to bend or incline q
the direction Of the sun is known scientif-
tcally as heliotropism. In the case Of plants
with fiat leaves such as the geranium, this
turning toward the light is accomplished by
means of a different rate of growth of the
stalk. Sides away from the light grow at q
more rapid pace, bringing about the curvature
Of the stalk In other types of plants with
radial leaves, the turning toward the light con-
sists OF directing the points of the leaves, and
this method requires but little change in the
