Here's TWO Models

THE American varsity cheers greatest virtue is its
J. fine intelligence as indicated by the text OF
some of the famous, standard yells. The best Of
them all, of course, is the one which goes:
Ala Veevo; ala vivo; ala veevO-vlvo-vum.
Boom, get rat-trap, bigger than cat-trap.
Boom, get a rat-trap, bigger than cat-trap.
Yea team-team- team.
Another excellent specimen is the osky-woW-Wow
yell which seems to have been composed by some
sung genius at the University of Illinois. 1t has
tempted many other schools to the sin of plagiarism.
The osky-wow-WOW yell goes:
OSky- WoW-woW.
Skinny woW-WoW.
Beat Chicago Cor Purdue or Iowa as the case
may be-. r.
Wow.
There is book in the library giving the text of
these and many other standard American college
yells and instructions for executing pretty designs
with COlored yarn and cardboard squares in the
grand stands. 1t is well worth not reading, although
the Germans since they have determined to have a
yell might profit by few minutes among it's pages.
Up to now they have missed the spirit entirely

Chicago. Nov. 6-(R)-Through no
particular fault Of their own, Purdue's
Boilermakers probably will have to do
q lot Of arguing in defense Of any
claims they may qualify to make to =
share Of the Western Conference
football title.
The Boilermakers play only four
conference games this season, two OF
them already won. Their remaining
opponents, Iowa and Indiana, figure
to 60 the way Of Wisconsin and Chi
cago. Minnesota and Illinois, how
ever, tied with Purdue for the Big
Ten leadership, meet five league op-
ponents, and appear more than likely
to wind up with five straight VIC
tories. Both the Minnesota and Illini
schedule stack up as considerably
more difficult than Purdues.
Schedule Made In 1882
The current schedule was made two
years ago. At that time the Purdue
representatives were not only willing,
but eager to schedule another Big Ten
game, or even two more. For one rea-
son or another, it couldn't be ar
ranged.
When Purdue, away to q wobbly
start, for which injuries to stars were
more than q little responsible, was
defeated by Rice Institute and Notre
Dame, 1t didn't appear to make much
difference how many or few games
the Boilermakers played in the con-
ference. After the Notre Dame de-
feat, however, the touchdown twins"
Duane Plrvis and Jim Carter, recov-
cred from injuries. The Boilermakers
then whipped Wisconsin. Carnegie
Tech and Chicago.
SO, unless something as unexpected

makers claim, If any, may appear =

MINIMUM OF ENERGY REQUIRED
MAKES PASSING GAME POPULAR
Gamble Of Aerial Game Catches
Fancy Of Fans; Passer
Must Have Poise
BY RAY MORRISON
Head Coach, Southern Methodist
University

Dallas, Nov. 6-For some years the
Southern Methodist University foot
ball team has been known as the
aerial circus, because Of its wide use
Of the forward pass. But the Mus
tangs are far from being alone In
that classification today.
Mainly because passing attack re-
quires only half the energy expended
in . running attack, every squad In
the country has come to rely upon
it to . major extent. This years
numerous tricky laterals and forwards
illustrate this point.
The popularity OF the pass makes 1t
almost necessary for coach to use It.
Up until this year, 1t was the most
spectacular play in football, and this
season has seen It connected with lat
erals to become even more appealing
to the spectator.
There Is great gamble In passing.
and that is what catches the fancy Of
the fan. II pass is successful, 1t
may result In long run and touch
down. II unsuccessful. 1t may be in
tercepted and result In . touchdown
for the other team.
Versatility Essential
The primary requisite Of a good for
ward passer in poise. Also, he must
be active. He must be able to do more
than pass. He must be able either to
carry the ball well, or to punt well
enough to be . threat In that way.
The primary requisite Of the re-
ceiver Is ability to get into the open.
He must be able to judge the ball
and to catch It in any position,
whether he be going at full speed or
standing still.
Heavy backs and ends usually do
not make good pass receivers. This
is because they generally lack enough
speed to get down the field well, and
they rarely are agile enough to break
into the clear or to handle the ball
properly II It Is passed to them.
Proper Execution
A great deal Of attention to defense
must be paid In passing attack.
Generally three receivers are sent
down the field, leaving three men In
the line, and four men In semi-circle
about three or four yards in front Of
the passer defending him.
The three In the lire generally are
the center and two tackles, or the
center and two guards. They do not
attack. but retreat Is they block.
This enables them to harass their
opponents longer and prevent them
from getting past to the passer.
In my opinion. > passing attack Is
much easier on q team. and Is espe-
cially valuable to light, fast squad
not designed for heavy line work.
I am not qualified to say who was
the best passer in the game, because
never managed to get peak At 2
lot Of fine ones. But ] do walk out
on Z limb and assert that, in my opin-
ion, Jerry Mann. quarterback at s.
N. q. IN 1925-26-27, was the finest
