THE SPORTLICHT
BY CRANTLAND RICE

Crisler and his staff have started the
Tiger away on new and better foot
ball path.
But Princeton has been given little
breathing space. with Columbia, Cor
nell, Navy and Michigan coming in or
der. And at least three of these teams
are among the best in their sectors.
The Navy hasn't looked so hot at this
point, but Columbia, Cornell and Mich
igan carry lot Of stuff, with an aver
age display of promised strength some
what higher than usual. This. at least,
is true Of Michigan. Columbia and
Cornell are just as good as they were
last Fall. And they were good last Fall.

MIRACLES still happen. Somewhere

young end at Yale who happened
to be a stand-out in his day. He was
picked on the first all-America named

and Babe Ruth were born. This man
was great athlete-a star at both foot
ball and base ball-I6 years before Lou
Gehrig shook his first rattle.
Yet this week he Is leading an IN
vasion of the Yale bowl. His name hap
pens to be Alonzo Stagg, the coaching
dean, who brings his Chicago team to
New Haven in one of the leading in

Stagg goes back beyond the days Of

On the face of it, it would seem
that the schools name was the princi-
pal reason for picking George Wash
ington to compete in one of the "Bicen-
teniap games at the Nations Capital
but in two early season games George
Washington has shown signs Of undis-
puted strength. The first resulted In
an 1870 upset Of Washington and Lee
and the second in an easy 24-0 triumph
over Westminster

n have all the power that has made
it one of the Nations leaders for
several years. The Crimson Tide has
been taking things easy so far, run
ming up a ASS score against South

State.
Although it has not attracted Sc
much popular attention as the battle
between Yale and Chicago at New
Haven or the Columbia Princeton clash
at New York, which brings together
two OF the Easts traditional leaders

One New Grid Rule to Keep
Player From lnjuring Self

II player makes a flying block or
a flying tackle, even though he fails
to make contact with the opponent,
his team Is penalized 5 yards from
the spot of the foul, except in case
the flying block or tackle Is used
against a player who is making or
who has made q forward pass when
the penalty is enforced from the
point where the ball was put In play
This Is the only instance In the
rules where Q penalty is imposed to
prevent q. player from doing injury
to himself.
The only change in the rule gov
erning the use Of hands and arms
by players on defense IS that which
further restricts these players from
striking above the shoulders with the
palms of the hands.
Defensive players are permitted to
use the palms Of their hands above
the shoulders Of opponents only to
push them out Of the way In order
to get at the ball or the player carry
ing it or to ward of interferers who
are tryin& TO block them.

identically the same spot, Michigan
again lined up in the place kick

Newman passed to Hudson who
scored touchdown easily.
Aside from Newman's perfect use

deceptive possibilities. The defen-
sive ends and tackle are allowed to
make their first dash into the Mich
igan backfield unobstructed. and
even the guards seep through the
line momentarily. This results. first,
because both Michigan ends, and

defensive backs out of position and
offering four possible receivers for
the pass. Secondly, both right and

rally charge into the openings thus
created. But not far. Nos. 6 and 8,

What has Bates ever done?
How often has her foot ball flag
Flared out against the sun?"
I speared him with a weary eye
And answered-calm but pale
"Just who Is Bates-you'd like to know
Why not ask Eli Yale?"
The greatest upset Of them all
Has filled my soul with blight;
read college foot ball song
That never mentioned fight"
Remember when you pan some kid
For failure under stress,
For calling plays that failed to give
The goal line its caress-
No dumb-bell ever yet has missed
The good old second guess.

backs, may have trouble replacing
the great Newman this year. but
doubtless its brilliant coach, Kipke,
will do it.
One CT Michigan's strongest scor-
ing combinations is its passes from
place kick formation. Newman, able
either to kick or pass. fully grasped
the strategic possibilities in employ
ment of the formation. The 1880
game with Illinois at Ann Arbor
illustrates this.
