pecially in favor of the lateral

agrees with them. THE lateral has
made a big jump this last year." he

see how it develops through another

I'VE need at least one year

"They are all right, anyway.
But 1 can't see a change in any
way that's needed"
Layden and several others figured
the terrific amount of fumbling this
season was due to the new foot ball
Minnesota fumbled something like 81
times in the Nebraska game. and
Princeton had a heavy epidemic o1
the same trouble. Pittsburgh is now
one of the few teams that uses the
end-over-end pass from center in
place of the spiral, and Layden may
use the same method at Notre Dame
Team and Player Rankings.
TN THE midst of this Midwestern

cussion of the best teams and
the leading players. 1t was generally
agreed that Minnesota led the Mid

Just back of Minnesota in the Mid

Notre Dame paid their tributes to
this 1884 Pitt team, with number

Sees Army as Favorite.

"IXIE'vE drawn our conclusions
" about the Army team from
that game" Conley said.
What are they? Army has a fine
team and well have to be at our
best to hold the Cadets and win. I
couldn't pick the winner ! think
Army rules the favorite, but I know
our fellows will be ready, just as
they were last year. Considering
that we've got new coaching regime
and most of our linemen are green,
we've done pretty well.
THE main trouble with our club, as
I see it, is that when We get within
scoring range our linemen become
over-anxious and too excited. This
mental condition hampers our back
field men and the result is we don't
score when We should. That was the
case in the Navy game and with the
added experience the boys have had
since then against Northwestern I'm
hoping they'll not get the jitters II
and when they get close to the Army's
goal stripe"

Two Games in Spotlight.

1.-TWO games in the East this week
that will be watched with great
est interest are Army -Notre
Dame and Yale Harvard. Navy people
especially will watch closely what
Army does with the South Bend eleven
They remember that their team won
but only after it had been outgained
and pushed around a good deal.
The Army-Notre Dame contest
should give Army and Navy people
better comparative line on the two
big service schools than any other
contest so far played.
Yale men want to know II their
team can hold forth on another Sat-
urday as 1t did against Princeton.
Predictions are being made that Yale
should walk away with the Crimson
but those making them had better be
a little careful. Yale this week may
not be the Yale of last week, although
every conceivable comparison gives
1t the edge on the Crimson.

r. ring Minnesota. has been kicked
around, some by violent scores,
but this last week they played to
more than 100000 spectators, includ-
ing a young fellow by the name of
Pat ODea. Which is one answer to
the decline of college foot ball"
At q gathering here in Chi
cago, which included Dick Han
ley Of Northwestern and Elmer
Layden Of NOtre Dame, the late
startling case of Yale and
Princeton came up.
Hanley and Layden agreed upon
three reasons for this upheaval-"in
the first place." they said. Prince
tons easy-going schedule had never
keyed up the Princeton team. The
Tigers all year had known only a few
minutes under any pressure. There
had been no great incentive to keep
at top speed"
In the second place, Yale had
drawn the advantage of hard, rough
schedule, including three defeats.
Yale happened to be team of spirit
and courage that had developed un-
der fire Both Notre Dame and
Northwestern, knocked down and
bowled over at times, had been play
ing better and better foot ball. Yale
had been pounded into a concrete,
keen, scrappy unit with a smart field
general in charge by the name of
Roscoe.
I'm the third place. almost any
thing can happen in foot ball game,
unless team is completely outclassed.
And Yale is the type of team always
willing to take a chance"

But where are your star tackles?"

I'D like to ask the same question,

And no one could rake East, West
or South and name an outstanding
tackle. More than one of the Mid
western group had heard of the end
playing ability Of Kelley of Yale. and
there were few bouquets thrown at
Bogdanski of Colgate
Star centers were also rated scarce,
with Robinson of Notre Dame draw
ing the leading vote around the Mid
west. There may be better centers,

Lone Hurdle for Gophers.

VXIISCONSIN is the last hurdle in
!" the path of Minnesota to
Western Conference honors
and to about as high pinnacle as
any other foot ball team is likely to
attain this season. Alabama has a
brilliant record. but it has not met and
defeated such teams as Minnesota has
been against.
When one considers the scores Min.
nesota has rolled up against teams
like Michigan. Chicago, Indiana, Iowa
and others, it seems difficult to pick
any other eleven in the country good
enough to stand an even chance
against 1t.
If Minnesota defeats Wisconsin de-
cisively, it should get whatever there
Is in the way of a national honor for
a mythical championship.

~ UCKLING down to preparation
* for its last two games. North
Dakota Friday night and
Oklahoma Thanksgiving day,
George Washington has a firm belief
that victories are to be its lot. The
defeat Of West Virginia last week
seemed to give the Colonials the tun-
ing up they needed to again make
them a winning eleven.
Last year the Colonials met North
Dakota and came out Of the game
with 27 points against 6. and they
are Of the opinion that they are
stronger now. Oklahoma is likely to
be a much harder foe and the
Thanksgiving day contest is not likely
to be won without real struggle.
However. there is not the least
doubt that George Washington is a
much more self reliant team now
than it was right after the Wander
bile and Louisiana State games. Then
it had been defeated in two games,
one of which it thought it had a
fairly good chance to win,: but now 1t
stands out with a victory over an
eleven probably as strong as Wander
bilt. There is nothing to put team
on edge so quickly efter a defeat as
a victory over a worthy opponent
Up at Morgantown, West Virginia
people did not expect George Wash
ington to turn the trick it did. They
knew the Colonials were strong but
hardly suspected as much strength as
was shown on Mountaineer Field last
Saturday afternoon.
1t is not the intention of the Colo
nial coaches to work their squad very
hard this week. They know that the
three grueling games Of the last three
weeks have taken good deal out of
their men, as far as reserve nervous
energy is concerned, and they know
that, while they may be stronger than
North Dakota, playing two games in
five days is not an easy task. So in
this weeks workouts the coaches will
concern themselves largely with pol
ishing up plays and correcting minor
faults in defense and tactics.

Pat O'Dea Back.

THE return of Pat O'Dea brought
romance to Madison. Pat, now in
his SOS. saw no one on the Illinois
or Wisconsin team who could put on
the old O'Dea kicking act, but Pat
looked on some strange sights
strange for a pair of eyes that had
seen no foot ball in 20 or more years.
Pat looked to be in fine shape and
not even Doc Spears. the Badger
coach, got as big a thrill out of the
play as O'Dea drew. In all the
changes he still saw no one who could
punt or drop-Nck up to the old Pat
standard of IS yards or longer on a

Naturally, the zest is taken out of this

the Tigers should have few regrets

reason why they should.
Princeton has had its share of glory
