Miller Doesn't Plan Many
Plays, but a Few of Them
Well Perfected.

By the Associated Press.
A NNAPOLIS, Nd, September IS.

~ Navy foot ball team will go into

coach Of the Midshipmen, and his as
sistants from Notre Dame, Christy
Flanagan and Johnny O'Brien, will
shoot the works" from the start on
the teachings of their old instructor
and the results even Miller can't guess.
I'VE may have a world beaten or we
may have bust" said Rip. I'VE are
going to gamble. It will be a speedy,
deceptive team II we can make it so,
and we will take more chances than
the old Navy team. The offense will be
stressed and rather than lot of plays
there will be few highly perfected
ones. We can run, kick or pass with
any Of them"
Miller has at least four big, rangy
sophomore ends, vital factor in the
Rockne style of play, and his tackles,
Lou Bryan and Jim Chambers, are vet
Grams. The guards are amply taken
care Of by Underwood, Thompson,
Reedy and Johnson, while Nal Tuttle
is one of the finest centers in the East.

Foot Ball Tips
BY SOL METZGER.

Rockne, clever strategist Of foot
ball, made his forward passes look
like sweeping end runs, and often
sweeping end runs looked like passes.
For example, in the pass shown here,
right end (5) would cut through the
line and start for an opposing back
as if to take him out on an end run
around the opponents right flank.
The other backs, except No. /, also
ran to their left as if on an end
run, when the ball was snapped back
to No. 4. No. rs Job was to check

unanimously and the council favors
2.75 per cent beer.
Relief of the unemployment stu
alton overshadowed all other res
olutions pending but there was
no controversy in the convention as
to the merits Of resolutions affect
