GOPHER, BUCKEYE
GAME IS POSSIBLE
Ohio State Asks Backing of
Roosevelt in Arranging
Charity Contest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, November 21-The
1 dream game of the Western
Conference foot ball season,
clash between Minnesota's s
mighty array and Ohio States spec
tacular Buckeyes, is a possibility.
The game. if plans of Ohio enthusi-
asts. encouraged by Gov. George
White, are successful, would be played
for charity. probably in the huge
horseshoe stadium at Columbus on
December !.
So eager is Ohio to match its Buck
eyes against Minnesota, generally con-
ceded to be the country's most
powerful team, that Harry P. Wolfe,
publisher of the Columbus Dispatch
and the Ohio State Journal, has
sought to enlist the aid of President
Roosevelt in attempting to bring about
a huge charity event.
Gov. White Active.
nov. WHITE has attempted to
" reach Gov. Floyd Olson of
Minnesota, who is in Wash
ington, to make an official proposal
.or the game. His efforts to reach the
Minnesota Governor were unsuccess-
full last night. but he was expected to
talk to him today
A large obstacle in the way of such
a clash is a Western Conference rule
which limits its members to eight
foot ball games a season. This rule
can be waived only by action of the
Conference Faculty Committee on
Athletics.
On only one occasion has the COM
mittee suspended the rule In 1881
series of charity games. involving
all 10 teams in the league, was ar
ranged. At that time the Gophers
played Ohio State and won. Sufh-
cient incentive may be provided to
suspend the regulation which has
prevented Big Ten teams from think
ing over Rose Bowl bids, by urging
from high official sources.

He's Smart, This Altrock.

N
~ the first base coach's work is
studying the motion the pitcher
customarily employs to pick unwary
baserunners off the initial sack. Per-
haps there is no other in base ball to-
day better qualified to make this study
than your Uncle Nick
In his day none eXcelled the south
paw slabman at this knack. He was
so good when he was hurting for the
old White SoX-the hitless wonders
that surprised all followers of the ma
tional pastime by beating the power
full Cubs for the world championship
after bagging the American League
pennant back in 1906-he would pass
a dangerous batter deliberately that
he might snare the player of first
with quick flip.
Altrock probably had the most
deceptive pitching motion in
base ball Of the last three de- -
cades. la was almost impossible
to determine quickly whether
his fling would be, director to
the batter or first base.
There's knack to this, and few
pitchers seem able to acquire the
knack. Nick in his coaching term
with the Nationals has attempted to
impart it to many youngsters and no
few veterans attached to the Wash
ington curving corps. But with little
success. Other than Walter Stewart,
the brittle southpaw, there is no
pitcher on the present Washington
staff who throws to first base with
even fair chance of getting his man.

II yERSITY'S ambition to fill
Grifith Stadium with a foot
ball game Is in fair way of being
realized with the signing Of Alabama
for October S next season.
It should be one of the biggest
games In the East, and coming at an
early date, before most of the major
teams have moved into serious stride,
likely will command a large play in
the Nations press.
This tar away it looms as battle
royal. Aiabama's great team. now a
leading candidate for the Rose Bowl
nod. will lose few of its present players
by graduation and the freshman ma
terial is said to be potent.
George Washington, even now one

power. 1t will lose only three varsity
men-Ed Clark, captain and tackle
Bill Parrish. end, and Hank Strayer,
guard. They are highly valued play
ers. out high-calibered freshmen are
looking eagerly toward filling their
places.
New Talent for Backfield.
A ND the Colonials are not expected
n to experiment through all of
next season with backfield COM
binations, as they have in the cur
rent campaign. Jim Pixlee in only
one game-with West Virginia-could
find appreciable help for his lone
consistent ground gamer, Tuffy Lee
mans. From the freshman squad will
come at least two backs who have
proved to the satisfaction of all of
George Washington's coaches and
players that they can carry the mail
These, plus Leemans, whom several
leading coaches have pronounced the
best back they have seen this season,
should give the Buff and Blue back.
field whale of scoring punch.
Even without an offensive wallop,
the Colonials might have won every
game this season, but for miserable
breaks. Louisiana States touchdown
was the only score against G. W.
that was earned in a convincing man
ner.
In this connection it has been re-
fortunate. indeed, to score against
George Washington. Anyway, Randy
Dixon. who threw the winning pass
for the Commodores, has been quoted
to the effect that it was a wild shot
that found its way into the arms of
Willy Geny behind the goal line.
Strong Team Assured.
MYTH a crack team for next year
w virtually guaranteed, Pixee is
lining up a worthy schedule.
Among other major teams he thought
as good as booked was Tennessee. The
Colonial sports chief even now is puz-
zled and panied over the Vols failure
to 60 through with a tentative agree
ment. Explanations from Tennessee
athletic bosses have been vague.
Nor does Pixlee understand published
references to breach with L. S. U.
According to Jim, all concerned in the
G. W.-Tiger game were pleased with
the arrangements. Though thousands
were disappointed over the absence of
the much publicized Abe Mickal from
L. S. q. lineup, Coach Biff Jones had
several justifiable reasons not only for
keeping. his ace out of the game but
for not advertising the fact that
Mickai would not play.
Bat no matter what other big teams
appear against George Washington
next season, the meeting with Ala
bama beyond question will be stand
out. And perhaps selfout.

Bucky Harris are attending the

manager expressed this recently the
big boss of the ball club was in accord

Judge-he's getting the job,
although Griffith won't say so
yet-will do the traffic directing
at the third base station, and
with Bucky still insisting he'll
stick to the bench the first base
post will have to be filled by old
