MOT long since I heard Dick
~ Hanley, celebrated Northwestern
coach, say that sometimes a
strategy which apparently is utterly
impracticable will succeed the best.
No better example could be, cited
than the play described to me by
Bill Roper, the famous old princeton
coach.
In the fourth quarter of the 1922
Princeton Chicago game, with Chlca-
90 leading 1877, Princeton had the
ball on its own 1-yard line. BY
every consideration it was expected
to punt. A pass was entirely too
dangerous. But Princeton figured
that Chicago was more likely to
block a kick for a touchdown than
to intercept a pass. Anyway it
might run back punt to position
for a place-kick. Obviously, too, 1t
expected a kick and was prepared to
rush hard. So Quarterback German
called for a forward pass, Fullback
Cleaves to himself.
The pass was so simple as to be
absurd. Not single decoy was en-
ployed. The fact is, the strategy
was devised on the field. 1t was
suggested by Left End Gray. But
Forman, as field general, deserves
great credit for Immediately adopt
ing it.
The ball was snapped back to No.
4 (Cleaves) 10 yards behind the line.
AS both Chicago ends and tackles
smashed inside to block the kick he
he ran 10 yards to his right, COM
pelling the enemy left end and
tackle to half-reverse themselves In
order to get at him. Left tackle now
was blocked by No. l. Left end was
ignored. He couldn't reach No. 4
In time to stop the pass.
No. As dash to right permitted
No. 2 (Gorman) to penetrate to the
20-yard line and also enable No: 5
to take out the defensive left half
back and No. 10 to block the defen-
sive right halfback. Only the de-
fensive fullback and quarterback
were in Gorman's way. He stiff
armed the fullback at the 30-yard
line, but was nailed by the quarter
at the 40-yard line. Revivifled by
this advance, Princeton finally won,
2l-l8.

on foreign gridirons.
Dewitt will face the Navy
Plebes at Annapolis, Western will en-

Eastern fell before Gonzaga in 14-0

with a 300 win over Alexandria High

IA to O, on the st. Albans field, and
Georgetown Prep conquered Landon,
to 0, at Garrett Park.
CONZAGA was not one bit perturbed
" by the fact that Eastern was gen.
erally picked to hand it trim
ming. The Purple went out in work
manlike style to accomplish the feat,
repulsing several Eastern threats and
making the most of all the breaks that
came its way. It was a sweet win for
GonZaga as Eastern was using several
stalwarts of the 1881 Purple eleven.

Alonzo Stagg Hailed as Model
Product of College Sports

Princeton somewhat more frequently;
but in any case the downfall of Eli
at the hands of either of her ancient
rivals was so rare as to cause extreme
surprise and poignant suffering among
all men of Yale
And the prospect Of any team out
side the Big Three defeating the Blue
was so utterly remote as not to be
even considered. When this occurred
for the first time in 1899-when Bill
Morley's Columbia team downed Yale
the shock was so great that some
Ellis never recovered from it. Why
Columbia up to that time had been
merely the name of bicycle. Now
this afternoon she is playing Prince
ton with odds at least 2 to that she
will win. o tempora, o moresl
WELL, Stagg was one Of the blue
w clad warriors who served to main
tain Yale in her position of su-
premacy. He was not only one Of the
greatest ends of his time, but by all
odds the greatest base ball pitcher.
He was destined for the ministry, but
in the end he decided there was big
ger work. for him to do in athletics.
He went to Chicago when the univer-
sity opened at a salary of $4,000 a year.
Since then through all his fame and
success he never got more salary than
the average professor got, say $4,000 a
year.
He saw coaches on all sides receiving
greater pay than the presidents of uni
versities at which they were employed
coaches whose teams he smote hip and
thigh upon proper occasion. But he
never asked for more pay. Some of his
friends feel he was bit backward. But
with Stagg it was the love of his jot
and not the money he received.
He is 70 years old now. but in ap-
pearance he has not changed much In
the past 20 years. He still plays tennis
and any youngster who beats him a,
singles has to play well above an aver
age game.
Alonzo Stagg represents and exem-
plifies everything that college sports 1;
supposed to do for young men.

n YEW YORK, october 8.-This Is
nj the first year In which two
" clubs owned by the same man
have won the world series and
the little world series. The Yankees
demolished the National League cham
pions and the Newark Bears defeated
the American Association champions.
Thus Col. Jacob Rupert of New York
becomes the only man who has fathered
post-seaSon winners in the major
leagues and in the highest classiflca-
ton of the minor leagues.
To which the sportsmanlike colonel
gives his complete appreciation and
says he will do the same thing in 1888
If it is within his power.
1t is conceded that, barring physical
injuries, the Yankees will be as pow
er1ul another season as they were this
year. That gives concern to the Amer
ican League, which has slowly awak-
ened to the fact that Eastern domina-
ton has sapped interest IN their cir
cult, and also to the National League,
which is still moaning over the defeat
Of the Cubs in four straight games.
TT Is asserted by men high in the coun-
i sells Of both leagues that the Yankees
have too many players under
their control. One year ago some Ma
tional League were opposed to further
extension of the chain-store system in
their circuit. but their opposition abated
when they were informed that the New
York Americans planned a system OF
their own, which would be fully as
powerful as that fostered by the St
Louis National League club.
| Now they are demanding q change.
It is not a vociferous demand as yet,
but it has been the subject of consulta-
ton The important thing sought is
reduction of holdings of players by those
best fortified financially TO retain them.
| Major clubs have seriously considered
| the reduction Of the player limit to 20
for the 1888 season. after June IS. This
year they cut down from 25 to %, and
many believe that 20 is quite enough
with which to win any major cham
pionship. Experience has proved that it
| is. The limit was increased so that each
club could carry more pitchers.
THE radicals would cut the number Of
i players on the reserve list from
40 to 35, or even fewer. They argue
that at least 80 players would thus be
! thrown on the market for competitive
bids and that better distribution OF
strength would be the outcome.
| Only four players were drafted for
1898. 1t has been stated that this was
due to financial inability. This Is
strenuously denied by National League
official, who insists that there were no
players to draft, as the American League
had all the better ones tied up.

II ILLER B. STEVINSON'S ears
Nu still must be ringing today
W. with the encomiums they
showered on him yesterday
and last night-those faithful followers
of golf at Columbia, who saw the vet
eran of thousand links combats romp
home to win his fourth Columbia club
championship. They took of the lid
at Columbia last night and put on the
works for Steve" as Cy Cummings,
Clyde B. Asher, Tom Brahany and
others told the veteran warrior exactly
how they regard him at Columbia.
A few hours before Stevinson had
showed under Comdr. Charles H. Hatch
in the final round, winning from the
veteran Navy star by and 5 when
Hatch knocked Stevinson's ball into the
hole for bird deuce on the thirteenth.
It was Stevinson's fourth victory in the
Columbia title chase He had won pre-
viously in 1925. 1928 and 1929. The
final round was walkover for Stevin-
son. Hatch was plainly off the game
he showed to beat George P. James,
while "Hoot" STEVENSON was able to win
holes as he pleased.
Steve" was the topliner, but there
were lots of others of those good Co.
lumbia folk who received prizes and a
verbal pat on the cheek from the hands
of Col. Leroy w. Heron, who presented
the trophies. The Columbia tourney,
if you do not already know it, is more
productive of trophies than any tour
nament in the world. All you have to
do to win a cup Is win one match.
There are prizes for the winners, run
ners-up, winners of the defeated eight
of the defeated four and of the de-
feated two of the defeated four of the
defeated eight. Yes, when those boys
at Columbia put on q golf tournament
they put it on right. Bob Cummings
won one match (by default) and won
a cup. So did Hugh H. Saum. But
they deserved it If they played In that
rain of Thursday.

nj Alonzo Stagg has come back to
Yale. The welcome he is re-
ceiving has a substantial back
ground of admiration, respect and love
befitting a grand character and man
who stands with the later Walter Camp
as Yale's most signal gift to the cause
Of intercollegiate sport.
You talk of this and that contributor
to the game Of modern foot ball, often
not knowing that the inspiration Of
such that We see today in the way Of
offense lies back in the years, the de-
vices of thinkers popularity forgotten.
The single wing back, for instance.
It dates way back beyond Glenn Warner,
who, however, does not need credit for
this particular form of attack to stand
among the great originators in foot ball.
At any rate many things done in foot
ball today with respect to advancing the
ball 60 back to AlonZo Stagg, including
pretty definitely the attack Yale will
employ this afternoon, which, in turn,
in form slightly varied, is the Notre
Dame offense.

Golf Analysed
by JOE GLASS

A VERY strong inclination of the
n beginner when playing his irons
is to use an arm swing with
no body pivot. This takes the arms
clear of the body. They usually go
straight back, with the result that
the right elbow gets away from the
right side, there is no wrist turn, and
a general looseness in the downswing
results.
Watch Tommy Armour. master of
iron play, in action, and you will
note that there must be pivot. 1t is
more restricted than for the woods,
but it is there, nevertheless.

In looking over today's schedule I
find there are at least 20 contests on
the map between high-class rivals or
traditional opponents.
In this respect the Western Confer
ence leads them all Look over this
early October list-just as the leaves
have started to turn brown or gold:
Michigan VS.. Northwestern.
Minnesota VS.. Purdue.
Wisconsin VS.. Iowa.
Ohio State VS.. Indiana.
Chicago VS.. Yale.
Illinois faces Bradley, but nine Of
the other teams are involved in scrim-
images, which might easily tell one of
the decisive stories of the year.
Chicago doesn't play conference
game, but the Maroon's showing
against Yale will be an important item.
Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota
and Purdue are four of the five picked
to have a strong championship chance.
Yet two of them must lose important
ground before the campaign has had
10 days to run.
Other Sections.
THE same situation exists, to a
i slightly lesser degree, all around
the country.
In the South and Southwest, Tulane
meets Georgia, Georgia Tech faces
Kentucky, Auburn tackles Duke, Mis-
souri, meets Texas and Tennessee hooks
up with North Carolina.
In the Far West both Stanford and
California have their share OF trouble.
Stanford has Santa Clara to beat back
and California shoots at strong st.
Mary'S team where Slip Madigan has
even better stuff than he carried a year
ago.
Then in the East there is Princeton
after Columbia-the Tiger stalking the
Lion. Dartmouth gets a hard test from
Lafayette. Fordham and Bucknell
should put on one of their old-fashioned
wars, as Yale waits for Chicago.
All in all this will be one of the big
