vY7ORD from the inside Of two
w rival camps has come to this
department.
From one camp officials complain
that too many teams are using illegal
methods, forcing drastic penalties,
which scramble up a smooth-running
game.
From the other side certain
teams complain that too many
officials are lax in calling these
Illegal plays.
working. under the pressure Of
modern foot ball. too many teams are
holding in the line or blocking llle-
gally to be sure to get their man" :"
one official said. mo official wants to
keep calling penalties and holding up
the game Yet holding is one of the
worst offenses in foot ball. If these
penalties are called strictly, the prac-
tice will soon stop-but COACHES
should give more attention to this
method Of play"
On the other side, more than
one coach has complained that
several officials have been too
lax in calling these penalties,
committed, of course, by the
opposing side.
The main weakness Of foot ball as
a game is the terrific burden put on
officials, who can make or break a
game-or a team. Holding, backs
starting ahead of the ball, interfer-
ence with the pass, where often the
dividing line is thinner than split
hair, make foot ball a hard game to
handle unless every official on the
field Is alert, capable. fearless and on
top Of the job.
Coaches can do their part by
forcing their players, as far as
possible, to play by the rules.
Weak or incompetent officials may
let their teams get by-but a compe-
tent official may inflict q penalty that
will cost the game.
In q man-to-man scramble Of %
eager and earnest young men, all
thrown together in a body-contact
melee, certain rules are sure to be
broken-often by subconscious acts
This is entirely different from a steady
infraction Of certain vital rules, which
are Just as much q part OF the game
as blocking. running, passing. kicking
or tackling.

Cochrane Dynamic Leader.

COCHRANE. the only catcher to
I receive the most valuable player
award in the American League,
proved to be one of the most inspir-
ing, dynamic leaders in base ball his
tory as he led the Tigers to the very
threshold of world championship.
He was the big wellwether in the
pennant drive. handling his pitchers
with superb skill and working in 121
games. He batted .321 and f1elded
1888, making only eight errors all sea-
son. Although painfully spiked in the
sixth game of the world series against
the Cardinals, Iron Mike" insisted
on leaving his hospital bed and play
ing the final game until all hope Of
victory had vanished.
Although his men made a total of
IL errors in the serits, Mickey didn't
make one in AZ chances.
The Detroit club which purchased
him from Philadelphia last December
for reported sum of 100000, found
him such great investment yester-
day it awarded him $4,000 bonus.

r T IS only in a moment Of cerebral
| weakness that any foot ball COM
| mentator starts mentioning some
Of the best backs of the year.
The repercussion not only is instan-
taneous. but terrific, from the campus
battlefelds that happen to be left
out.
One of the best of the year is Ber-
wanger Of Chicago, big, fast 19o-
FOUNDER who can kick, pass and run,
block and tackle-one of the seasons
best.
There Is Or Simmons, the
colored sensation of Iowa, label
ed by Dick HanIey as the best
back he has looked at since
Red Grange spun and galloped
for Illinois.
To this pair you can add Bryant
and Simons of Tulane, Lund and
Kostka of Minnesota, Purvis of Pur-
due (wearing a wounded instep),
Cornelius Of Duke, Vaughan, Ten
nessee's sniping passer; Grayson of
Stanford, one of the best; Christoffer-
sen of Washington State, Buckler and
Stancook of the Army. Berries of the
Navy and Beynon of Illinois.
1t might be just as well at this point
to mention Barabas of Columbia, an
outstanding star-just about as fine
a ball carrier as any team or any
coach might ask for. Stanford and
Yale can tell you about him. and so
will several others before the first
snow comes drifting out the the BAR
ren lands.
Texas and Rice both have strong
backfelds, and so has Notre Dame
with big Elser, Melinkovich, Pilney,
Hanley and others moving here and
there. The same goes for Pittsburgh's s
active Panthers.
Princeton has one Of the sea-
sons best in Spofford, q human
catapult, to say nothing Of Le-
van and Sandbach.
If you care to throw a guess at the
two teams with better aIl-around
backfeld talent than any others you
won't go so far wrong on Minnesota
and Princeton.
Minnesota has six outstanding
backs, headed by Lund and Kostka.
Princeton has two complete sets Of
backs, eight or nine strong, who COM
bine both speed and power with first
class passing and kicking.
Stanford also can send five or six
able backs to the wars at any call.
This Is no part Of the complete
roundup. but at least those mention

FOUR WILL MAKE
EXTENDED TRIPS
Georgia Tech Has Brighter
Outlook Than Usual in
Michigan Game.
BY H. C. BYRD.

-OUR Southern schools that
- Journey to other sections for
foot ball games Saturday may
not fare very well, unless they
play a good deal better foot ball than
they did last week. Possibly the school
that usually might be considered to
stand the least chance Of victory,
Georgia Tech, which plays Michigan,
may make the best showing OF all.
Washington and Lee has a strong de-
fense, but not enough offensive
strength to get very far against Prince
ton. Virginia probably is weaker in
nearly every department than Dart
mouth, while Sewanee is due to be
another victim for Army.
Georgia Tech, if Michigan were
anywhere near as strong as last sea-
son, would stand no chance at all.
Tech was beaten badly by Duke last
Saturday, but probably Duke could
have whipped Michigan the same day.
Any time, though, that any Southern
eleven plays one of three or four Of
the Western Conference schools, the
odds are against the Dixians. In
the case of Georgia Tech against
Michigan, there does not seem to be
anything to cause change of opinion.
Washington and Lee has big and
powerful team, but it is not blessed
with any brilliant backs and its Of
fense necessarily is limited. 1t should
fight Princeton hard, but may not
make as good a showing as it made
last season.
Virginia has played good foot ball
in some of its games this Fall. In
fact, has played well in all of them,
but is hardly good enough in an all
round way to hope for much more
than to give Dartmouth a battle.
Virginia does not appear to be as
strong as it might be between its
tackles and against a bruising, driv-
ing eleven such as Dartmouth usually
has. This weakness almost always is
disastrous.

In his first season as ringmaster of

valuable player in the American
League for the second time since 1923.
The 3l-year-old Detroit manager
won the honorary award. voted an
nually by an eight-man committee
representing the Base Ball Writers
Association of America, after an un-
usually spirited duel of ballots with
his star second baseman, Charley
Gehringer.
Cochrane polled 81 out of a pos
sible maximum of 80 votes to 65 for
Gehringer. Vernon Oefty) Gomez,
star Yankee southpaw, polled so
votes; Schoolboy Rowe, ace Tiger
pitcher, received SO. and Lou Gehrig,
Yankee first baseman, was given 54
OF the ballots cast, Cochrane
was named first on 6. Gehringer on l
and Rowe on another, so that all 8
firsts, counting 10 votes each, went
to Detroit players.
The fact that Cochrane's name did
not appear on one ballot resulted in
the close point total between himself
and Gehringer.

Berries May Not Play.

AYAVY will be a much weaker team
this week, much more than 1t
possibly realizes, if it has to
play Columbia without Berries, its
star back. The strongest threat as
we'll as the biggest ground gaining
factor in its offense will be absent.
OF course, without their mainstay,
the Sailors may get the inspiration
that comes from real courage and rise
to the occasion, but it is not often
possible to take a man like Berries
out of the lineup and not miss him.
There are few, if any, better ground
gamers in the East.
Columbia also is said not to be In
the best of shape TO take on the Mid
shipmen, its two opening games with
Yale and Virginia Military Institute
having taken their toll Of players.
Few better games are likely to be
played this season than the one be-
tween Pittsburgh and Minnesota at
Pittsburgh. The feeling among those
familiar with the two teams is that
Minnesota will win. The score last
year was to 3 in favor Of the
Gophers.
One of the games to be played in
the South Saturday should be about
as good as is TO be staged anywhere,
between Tennessee and Alabama.
Other games in the South also may
be as good, but this one is held to be
the topliner. Tennessee and Ala
bama right now are leaders in the
South, with Duke close on their heels.

NICELY MATCHED

G. w. Favored.

~ My the final result tomorrow

Washington and Tulsa match
up on the foot ball field, but
in one respect, and only one, a COM
parison can be drawn now. In weight
these warm rivals appear about as
evenly matched as two teams can be,
with George Washington averaging 19l
pounds and its Southwest adversary
189.
Strangely. the husky Colonial back
field will be outweighed, 1877 to l8l,
this being the first time that Jim Pix
lees ball toters have gone into
game this season giving away avoir-
dupois, but the scales are balanced by
the Colonial hnemen, who average
1856 to 1870 for the Hurricane forwards.
Dennis Is Heaviest Back.
YUST what difference Tulsa's back
Il field weight advantage will make
in the battle remains to be seen.
In Titanic Tack" Dennis, the visitors
will present the heaviest back in the
starting line-ups. Dennis, who tips
the beam at 100, does the main line
plunging job for Tulsa, and if as effec-
tive in this role as last year, will cause
G. W. plenty of headaches.
The Colonial line, which has yielded
only two first downs by rushing to
date, will meet its greatest test to-
morrow night If Dennis duplicates his
ferocious play Of 1888.

oversight that Georgetown's game with
Western Maryland was overlooked, be-
cause a team which consistently has
