End Play Duel.
~NE Of the neatest features OF the
~ afternoon will be the end-play
and Moscrip of Stanford.
Both happen to be fast powerful
young men with extremely large and
strong hands. I have seen each on
more than one occasion snatch his man
down with one bare paw, thereby indl-
eating unusual hand strength. And
such hands also are useful in snagging
and holding forward passes.
Cliff Montgomery is high-claSs. all
around foot ball player. but don't be-
lieve he will be as dangerous as Bob
Grayson, who is faster and at least
20 pounds heavier.
Both kick, pass and run, but GraySon
is better than 10 seconds at the 100,
and that extra weight helps no little
in his hard driving outside OF tackle.
GraySon Is an extremely fast starter.
He is away like a flash and he can keep
moving, either through line or around
an end.
1t is surplus man power that Colum-
bia will have to look for.
There IS one feature connected with
this Columbia team that can be tipped

of its ability There is small chance
that it will be aSsailed by any fluttering
duck fits or quick smash-upS.
The story rests in how well 1t can
stave off those third and fourth period
requirements of the Cardinals. 1t is
here that the largest shadows fall across
the Blue and White.

true sense of being a real leader. AS
long as he is in the game. Indiana is
going to be mighty hard for any op-
ponent to beat.
Neither of the three jobs known to
be open in foot ball coaching in big
Southern schools has been filled. and
it does not seem that the authorities of
University of North Carolina, North
Carolina State and Auburn are very
near solution of their problem. >
Recently in talking with represent
ative of one of these schools, it was
brought out very forcibly that available
good men, that is, men with proved
backgrounds. are as scarce as owls in
daylight. They are somewhere, per-
haps. but try and find them. Not one
OF these schools has the slightest idea,
as yet, as to who will handle its squad
next Fall, although men from the At
lantic to the Pacific Coast are being
considered.
IN IOT MUGS was done at the foot
~ ball coaches meeting sor at the
meeting of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association at Chicago"
observed a prominent foot ball coach
who returned today from attending the
meetings.
In the first place the Eastern crowd
does not go to Chicago, and the big
part of the gathering was from the
Middle West. When the meetings are
held in New York people from the West
will 60 there, possibly because New York
is New York, but the Eastern folks SIM
ply will not or anyway, do not, go to
Chicago.
Then again out at Chicago there
seemed to be a tendency not to disturb
anything. OF course, the foot ball
coaches again got out long statement
about the security of their positions,
but that is old stuff and it will not
amount to much more in the future
than it has in the past. Every coach
knows he has got to win fair share
of his games or lose his job. And that
is not likely to change much because of
feeling on the part of coaches that
their jobs are not sufficiently secure.
I never heard much out there In the
way Of constructive suggestions"

BY III. c. BYRD,


GOOD deal has been said and
y written about the chances of
~ Columbia against Stanford in
the Tournament of Roses foot
ball game today.
Arguments are being presented one
way or another as to why Columbia
has not a chance or why it should be
the victor, when as matter of fact it
is doubtful if anybody actually knows
much about it. There IS no foot ball
game so much of gamble as the one
at Pasadena this afternoon, as there
is no other game in which may be
found so many variable factors.
To show Just how little expert opin
ion is worth in pre-judging such
contest, it seems only necessary to re-
call an occasion in New York several
years ago just prior to the first game Ala
bama was to play on the coast. Around
table we're Gil Dobie. Bob Zuppke,
Bill Alexander Fielding Yost and sew
eral other big foot ball coaches. Every
one united in saying that Alabama did
not have a chance, and the writer was
ridiculed and joshed good-natureSly for
several minutes when he Ventured an
opinion that Alabama might win, be-
cause a Southern eleven, with about
the same conditions under which to
practice, should stand a much better
chance than the Northern teams that
take their whippings.
The fact that Alabama won would
seem to indicate that the writer knew
something. but the way it won that
game was one time in a thousand
Near the end of the game it appeared
to be a whipped eleven, but two or
three long passes produced touch
downs that turned the tide. Under
the same conditions in fifty or more
games it is doubtful if Alabama could
have won once.
@OLUMBIA'S difficulty on the coast
may be that it will not have as
good material as Stanford, which
is likely the case. In addition to that,
its practice conditions have been very
much to it's disadvantage. And further
more, it has been compelled to get in
long practice sessions while taking a
long and firing railroad ride, which is
doubly fatiguing to players. Yet despite
these things, if Columbia were to get
a few breaks such as Alabama got in
the second half of that victory it
scored on the occasion OF a Southern
teams first trip to Pasadena, Columbia
might win. although those familiar with
the strength of teams on the Pacific
Coast and in the East feel that the
Westerners are simply better under al
most any conditions
TT SEEMS to be absolutely true that
the average run of foot ball ma
n terial among the colleges on the Pa
cifc Coast Is much better than In the
East. On the few occasions when 1t
has been the lot of of the writer to
watch Western teams. their makeup
has seemed to be superior in personnel,
as far as physical power Is concerned,
to the Eastern groups. The men seemed
to be more mature and better set up to
stand the gaff.
Maryland did not play at its top
speed against Indiana Saturday night
but it is questionable If the Old Liners
at their best could have come much
closer than 10 points to the Hoosiers
Wehr, running guard for Indiana, Is
about the best basket ball player seen
on local court In years. He Is cap.
tain of his team and Is captain In the

Pro Experience Helps.

THE things Nevers learned in pro-
fessional foot ball he has taught
the Stanford boys. Stanford,
with a team that averages only 10
years in age, defeated Southern Cali
fornia last Fall after Pop" Warmers
teams had failed for several seasons.
The Indian line completely outplayed
the Trojans and Howard Jones for
ward wall was not exactly made of
paper.
Nevers is constantly busy teaching
Stanford players little details that go
to make the finished performer. Small
items frequently overlooked by the
average coach. but familiar to the man
who has campaigned through profess
Sional foot ball, where every man is a
finished performer and where perfec-
ton of execution is often more impor-
tant than any strategy.
The combination of Thornhil and
NeverS has proved happy one for
Stanford. Thornhill is large and port
ly and has a fatherly attitude toward
his boys. There is nothing of the czar
in Thornhill and he does not hold him
self In the splendid aloofneSS which
some coaches assume.
Has Been Through Mill.
Thornhlll has been through the en-
tire foot ball mill. He was an all
America tackle at Pittsburgh, later
played professional foot ball against the
best Of his day, including Thorpe.
ROckne and Dorais, and has spent
more than - years as a coach. He
inherited splendid material upon sue
ceeding Glenn Warner at Stanford but
he has done much with that material
and on defense at least this Stanford
team is one of the best to wear the
cardinal in almost a decade
Thornhill was late in arriving as
head coach, but now that he has the
reinS it is expected he will develop into
one of the leaders of his profession
Certainly a finer fellow could not be
found. To Thornhill, foot ball still IS
a game young men play for fun, and
not a civil war.

A IL the field except a long narrow

water last night, but fire depart

the rate of 5000 gallons minute. and
the Pasadena city manager expressed
belief the gridiron could be put in

While playing conditions were ex-

ously, the general opinion prevailed
that Coach Lou Little's CoIumbia's

I'VE have built our attack around
