NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Perhaps
it's none of my business, but be-
lieve:
That Army's stunt of Sticking its
halfback's legs with bear grease in
the Harvard game was ineXcuSaOle,
and smacked of prizetight tactics.
The incident was made all the more
regrettable by the Cadets being the
stronger club, and knowing it.
That Max Baer, judging by his
work in his first movie, can make a
lot more money in Hollywood than
in the ring And that anybody who
wouldn't rather clinch with Myrna
10y than Primo Camera even if the
pay was less, is missing on all six.
That Princeton's sophomore back
field is grossly overrated and that
the Tigers success is founded on a
tough, fast line with tackle Ceppi
as the spearhead.
That amateur tennis faces its sad
dest season in years and years, and
that the u S. L. T. A. could save
money by not sending a Davis cup
team abroad on a futile chase next
year.

GREENCASTLE. Ind, Nov. IA
Hopes of De Pauw's gridmen and of
the De PAW student body for an
Indiana secondary college football
title scared today, and perched on
this week-end'S tilt with Wabash,
at Charlottesville.
Coach Gaumy Neal yesterday

outlined errors in their play against

his Well-rounded batting technlc.
There is no phase of batting Of
which he is not the master. That's
why he is what he is.
AS matter of fact, all the really
great hitterS have been skillful
hunters. Possibly Ty Cobb was the
greatest bunter of all time. Certainly
no player ever executed the running
bunt-that is hitting the ball while
starting for first on the run-with
greater effect. Even the slashing
Wagner was a Grade-A bunter.
In pointing out that bunting cost
Washington two games for a Ger
tainty, and possibly more, make no
attempt to take anything away
from Mr.. Will Terry and his Giants.
On the contrary, the situation re-
fleets greater glory on the Giants
manager and the success of his
team in the World series. Lacking
powerful hitters, Mr. Terry turned
to the bunt and developed it as an
important offensive weapon.

Michigan Is
Pass Leary
Minnesota May Take to Air
Against Big Ten
Leaders.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Four teams
have failed in their efforts to halt
Michigan's advance to the Big Ten
football championship, but the last
two opponents have uncovered the
Wolverines weakness-it is pass de-
Tense.
Illinois passed Michigan dizzy
completing seven out of thirteen
passes, and losing by a bare point,
7 to 6. Iowa completed five out of
sixteen passes, and lost 10 to 6.
GOpheerS Have Chance
Thus Minnesota, team which
has completed twenty-three out of
it's f1fty-f1ve LasSes attempted in
six games, must be accorded a
chance to upset Michigan in the
Big Tens most important game, at
Ann Arbor Saturday.
Bernie Bierman, Minnesota coach,
regards Michigan as superior team
to Minnesota, but Bierman's state
ment may be slightly discounted
because of the fact that he remem-
bers that too many Minnesota teams
have come down to the Michigan
game expecting victory and come
off the field beaten.
Michigan has had three touch
downs scored on it this season.
Michigan State scored the first on
a pass good for thirty-f1ve yards.
Illinois scored the second after
passes had placed the ball in Scor-
ing position. Iowa scored the third
last week on passes.
Line Defense Good
In Michigan's four Conference
games the Wolverines have had
seventeen out of forty-seven at
tempted passes completed on them
for a total of 268 yards. Just how
staunch the Michigan defense is
may be cleaned from the Iowa
Michigan game. The HawkeyeS,
with a strong running attack, owed
net loss of one yard on running
plays against Michigan, gaining
f1fty-nine yards and losing sixty
The Hawkeyes connected with
five passes for gains totaling 11G
yards, and were decidedly in the
ball game, with a chance to win
until the last whistle.
The pass statistics of all Michi-
gan's opponents follow:

the right to play the west division
winner for the all-conference title.
Coach Elmer Burnham fears the
Blue Blazers, since it was Elkhart
who spoiled the Bears title march
last year, and Chelsea Boone, the
veteran Elkhart coach, has his
eleven pointed to this game. Last
week Central defeated Goshen, 1855.
South Bend May Tie
There is a chance that South
Bend Central will wind up in a tie
for the eastern division crown. That
chance lies in the ability of Elkhart
to defeat the Bears and MishaWaka
to defeat Riley of South Bend In
that event Central and Mishawaka
will toss a coin for the east division
title.
In the western division of the
league, Whiting and Roosevelt of
East Chicago are still deadlocked
for the lead The game Saturday
night between Whiting and Roose-
welt, that presented either team a
chance for undiSputed leadership,
resulted in a 6-6 tie, the second of
the season for both teams.
Whiting Seeks Title
Ray Gallivan, Whiting coach, ex-
poets to capture the title this week
with a victory over Froebel of Gary,
hoping, of course, that j. G. Austin s
Roosevelt team will crack up in
front of Frank Cash's Washington
team as they battle for the East
Chicago city title.
The outcome appears to be toss
up. If Whiting and Roosevelt both
win they will still be tied. If Whit
ing and Washington win, then
Whiting takes the title, and if Froe-
bel and Washington win, then all
three, Whiting, Roosevelt and
Washington, will be tied with a toss
of the coin deciding the western
division winner.

in retrospect to discover that the
main difference between the Wash
ingtonS and the Giants hinged on
such a comparatively simple thing
as the ability to lay down sacrifice
bunt. This the Giants could do,
Washington couldn't.
Even conceding the magnificent
pitching of Hubbell in the first
game, a strategically placed bunt
might have won for Washington.
And the set-up was such in the sec
ond game that a bunt might also
have turned that one into an Amer
lean League victory. At least in
both instances the chance existed.
But there was absolutely no ques-
ton as to what effect a bunt at
the desired moment would have had
on both the fourth and fifth games.
These two games were lost by Wash
ington simply because the men
who we're called on to bunt we're
unequal to the challenge.
