 This didn't frighten Schmidt. He said he would bear down, do the best he could, and that the downtown quarterbacks could jump into the Scioto river. Cautioned that then student po- litical situation was 8 problem, believe thaht such conditions eX- isted.
 "If a player hustles for me-, he gets to play" explained the new mentor. If he doesn't hustle, he doesn't get to play. Very sim- ple." Schmidt laughted at the so- called Michigan jinx.

 Re Mayor or Columbus Now
 Schmidt memorized the faces of the Ohio State athletes from pho. tographs and nearly floored them by calling them by name as they reported last spring.
 Schmidt, q Nebraska man, had been around too long to be stampeded. He had a coaching background that extended over more than a quarter of a century, having previously served at Tulsa, Arkansas, and Texas Christian. He didn't intend to huff his big gest opportunity after such long wait. He did not come to Ohio State to fail
 Schmidt took squads of 30 play CTS at Texas Christian and turned the fast Southwestern Conference on it's ear. Not only did he have small turnouts at Fort Worth, but he didn't have the pick of the out standing high school performers of that sector. He took lads whc weren't even mentioned on all. state schoolboy teams and made all-Southwest college stars of them.
 After one year at Columbus, Francis Schmidt probably could be mayor, and his election would be consummated by the downtown n quarterbacks. That gives you a fine idea of what kind of man he is and how rapidly he works.

Columbus.-If pinned down to name the major football team most likely to compete It's schedule without defeat next fall, I'd select Ohio State.
 This despite the fact that tic Western Conference perhaps is the toughest gridiron circuit in the land year in and year out, and that the Buckeyes are to meet Pits burgh and Notre Dame as well.
 Francis A. Schmidt took a long jump toward the ranks of the coaching greats in his first year at Ohio State. The Buckeyes lost only an early season contest to H. 1inois, and gave the customers what they wanted-a diversified offense ranging from the. old Statute Of Liberty to complicated triple lat- erals and every known brand of flea flicker.
 Schmidt is striking example of what hard work will do. The Ohio State coach labors IS hours a day. His men spent five weeks in the gymnasium before the spring vacation and now are hard at six weeks of practice which is to be concluded with a night game.
 Succeeded in Footballs
 Hottest Coaching Seat
 There are sixty-five candidates at Ohio State, including Dick Heekin who should qualify as an AL America halfback; Stan Pincura and Tippy Dye, smart quarters; Johnny Kabealo and Frank Bouch- CT, remarkable kickers; and Jim Mcdonald, sophomore expected to crowd holdovers out of the full back positoin.
 Ohio State lost only two regular backs, Buzz Wetzel and Jack Smith, and the latter was kept on the sidelines half the time by bad knee.
 Regis Monahan, captain and Ali America guard, is the lone lineman graduating, whcih means that Conner Jones, 1895 captain and center, will be flanked by seasoned campaigners.
 Schmidt reported at Ohio State a year ago with no fanfare of brass bands. When he was named coach, a good share of the 150,00O down. town quarterbacks emitted a Bronx and broke into chant, "Who in the heck is this fellow and where is Texas Christian ?"

0N0PEN|NC NIGHT.
Each Has Handicap of SO.
Paul Harrison's 652 Is
Best From Scratch.
BY ROD THOMAS.

A SURPRISE to themselves, two
~ bowlers the average duckpin
~ fan never heard of today led
an imposing list in the roll
of of The Evening Star tournament,
which opened last night at the Lucky
Strike.
They were Melvin B. Rock of
Bethesda and N. w Koontz OF the
Masonic League, Rock with score OF
689 and Koontz with $50 They had
the same handicap of SO pins, based
on a league average of l03.
Including the handicap, Rocks S
score was the highest ever made in
the tournament, the previous record
having been 679, rolled two years ago
by Carroll Daily and equaled last year
by Jack Whalen.
A stepping stone to cash, the handi-
cap is no aid to glory, but Rock gath
cred both last night. His 669 is con-
sidered certain to put him in the pay
off and he shot a game of l6l that a
Joe Harrison would relish. For second
high game hOnorS OF the evening he
tied with the redoubtable Ed Blakeney,
but Blakeney slumped in other strings
and got approximately nowhere with
a set of 62l. including an spin
handicap. Ed Espeys 164 was the top
single string.

back who struck with power and dash
such as GraySon threw against us. He
is one of the best running backs I've
ever seen. But Stanford had no pass
attack to mix up with her running
game. You can't 60 out and find
great passers. With a passing attack
to open us up. Grayson might have
been running yet
What do you consider the high
spot, the big moment of the game?"
I asked Thomas. one of the ablest
coaches in foot ball.
"Howells 67-yard run for a
touchdown" he said. AT that
point we were leading only 9
to I.
The Stanford defense had dropped
back to stop our passing. When How
ell ran that 81 yards the Stanford
defense was then in a tough spot. II
it stayed up-Howell passed. If it
dropped back-HoWell ran"
How did he get away" I asked
Hank Crisp, the keen, wiry coach on
top Of the play.
He feinted both Moscrip and Gray
son out of position Crisp said, with
hip weave and sudden turn-and
then he was away. 1t was beautiful
piece of speed and deception COM
bined, worked against two star foot
ball players. For Moscrip is the best
defensive end we've met in a long
time"
These were the two Stanford play
ers that drew most of Alabama s
praise.
And don't forget" one Of the
Alabama coaches said, that Mari
our guard, was the best man on the
field, and Kay Francis was a pretty
busy boy all afternoon.

This is coed news, even If Mr.. C.

FAXMILLIAN ADELBERT BAER

"A FAXMILLIAN ADELBERT BAER
lN may have seemed little stiff
with his demands for the
services of himself and Brother Buddy
a few weeks ago, but after what Make
did to the poor old Kingfish he may
be worth it now. Baers hot stuff, and
Marty Gallagher's always hot stuff in
Foggy Bottom. even more so now be-
cause they're still talking about his
win over poor young Ray 1mpellitiere.
1t is quite possible a clash between
Max and Marty, even if it is only
four rounds, may prove an attraction.
For Buddy, you might get Bob Tow
if the Baer kid is willing to go that
steep on opposition.
The ramblings of Mr. Cornell over
the country in search of f1stic talent
sound like great stuff. OF course, it
will mean the loss of a certain amount
of that suspense involved when you
wait two or three rounds for an un-
known fighter to show the stuff-if
he's got any-that the promoter read
about in a letter. With Mr.. Cornell
personally putting his okay on fight
er because he saw him work, it would
reduce the situation to something like
reaching down in a cellophane grab
bag; in other words, you would have
a pretty good idea of what you are
spending your money for.
As for you, Mr.. Cornell, please
accept the above mentioned
suggestions as suggestions alone,
not expectations. But il you
would make serious efforts to
bring Messrs. Louis, Yarosz and
Risko, and the Brothers Baer to
Washington, will even volun-
teer to put on your apron and

The name is Dixie Howell, the Big
Surf of the Crimson Tide, who passed,
ran and kicked Stanford into state
of dizziness New Year day.
I asked Hank Crisp. Alabamas ath-
.letic director and line coach, what
position Howell played.
Second, short, third or the outfield," p"
Crisp said. He is a fine infielder and
a fine outfielder, a corking hitter,
and you can figure for yourself how
he looks around the bases.
In addition to that. he has a
smart head and ice water in his
veins. He always is better when
the going is tougher. Base ball
is his big game"
"On the morning of the game" "
Frank Thomas said. Howell was so
keyed up that he became slightly i'll
with nervous indigestion. He was
quite sick after that 67-yard run with
stomach cramps, and so I gave him
a short rest.
1T was all a matter of pent-up
nervous energy ready to explode at
game time, and when the whistle
blew, Dixie was the coolest, calmest
man on the field. I thought he did
fairly we'll for sick man." Thomas
added with grin. He also did fairly
well for three or four well men.

"HE best scratch performer was
Paul Harrison of the Arcadia,

handicap of pins enabled him to
pull up third with 657. Paul had all
sorts of tough luck. In one game
twice he slid pins with apparent per-
fection for monkey spares that didn't
materiahze. To achieve his best score,
153 in the second, he made three bank
shots for marks. For the first three
games he totaled 405, then spoiled a
sensational set with a game of SO.
He put on a strong finish with 149.

A peculiar feature of STAN
ford's passing is this-if it had
been only a little better, Ala
bama would have had at least
four more interceptions.
Most of their passes were so low
and short" one Alabama back re-
marked, that we couldn't quite get
to 'em. Ihad my finger tips on pair
of them, but couldn't quite make it.
sure wish they had gotten those
passes up just little higher"
Alabama has now been to the West
Coast five times with a run of four
victories and a tie. AS Capt. Lee
said-"we didn't want to be the team
to spoil this record" The fury OF
Alabama's 22-point assault in the
second period was reflection of this
inner feeling.
