extends beyond their immediate neigh
borhoods.
OF. JOHNS first big move was to
secure membership for Ohio State
in the Western Conference. He
brought Wilce to Ohio as head coach in
1914 and In 1916 the Buckeyes won
their first Big Ten championship. They
repeated in 1917 and 1920 and were
runners-up In 1919 and 1921. It was
st. John who fathered the magnificent
Ohio Stadium, the first Of the modern
stadia in the Middle West. completed
in 1921.
The finest natatorium In the country
q modern building to house the school
Of physical education and gymnasium
are among the other properties fathered
by st. John. Land has been purchased
for splendid golf course and plans for
a field house drawn, the completion OF
those projects awaiting only increased
earnings Of the foot ball team. A legis-
lative investigation will find little for
which to criticize st. John other than
his loyalty to his foot ball coaches.
OHIo STATE followers suffered
from too early successes In Big
Ten competition. DR.. Wilce's
teams were dominant in the Big Ten
from 1915 to 1921. The 1925 Buckeye
title by one point and were In the
championship running until the final
game Of the 1928 season. Ohioans
came to expect a winner or near win
ner every year. They failed to consider
the normal development of teams in
other Big Ten universities. There was
period from 1922 to 1926 when the
material at Ohio State was very ordi-
nary, but that was not considered.
Buckeye followers have a habit of
overrating the schools material. The
1883 team was given preseason rating
by Ohio adherents as the greatest ever
developed at Columbus Perhaps it
should have been, but 1t failed dis
mally against Michigan. The reason
for that failure is unexplainable, for the
team has rallied strongly In subsequent
games. One valid reason for the
Ohioans' defeat at Ann Arbor may be
found IN the fact that Michigan has
one Of its best teams.

the present, Ohio is enjoying a fine run

The coach at Ohio State must be q

Capitol Hill in no respect,
save that of alertness, upset
the dope bucket by ekeing out
a 60 victory, finally to bury
Eastern'S hopes of attaining its
first championship since 1897.
This surprise development
presumably assures the high
school championship for Cen
trail, which now has only to
conquer Western next Tuesday,
something followers of scho-
lastic foot ball regard as a
mere formality.
That the Mount Pleasant
aggregation, on the strength of
comparative showings to date,
should win about as it pleaseS
next week is the only logical
conclusion to be drawn, but
in view of the fact that Tech
trounced Eastern, it is con-
ceivable the Georgetowners can
spring an even greater upset
by outscoring Central, which
would bring about the odd
situation of Tech coping the
title with perhaps the weakest
array that has represented
them in many years.

Little less noteworthy was
the great work of Bill Parrish
as a wingman and Don Bomba
in a defensive role. Heretofore
Bomba has been known chiefly
for his ability as line smasher,
but his versatility was con-
vincingly demonstrated by the
class he displayed in tackling
as we'll as blocking. He turned
in a drst-claSs job of backing
