to the Browns the American league

Would the American league OBJ

CHICAGO, Nov. 7. U.Pl = The
numerous insulting letters I receiv-
ed prior to the Northwestern-M Min
nesota football game have goaded
me into revealing my system for
picking the long shots.
Four of my super specials have
come bobbing home in front this
year-Bold Venture at pol, Schmel-
ing at 81, the Yankees at Al, and
Northwestern at 81. Examine all
the winners, and you'll find that
they were those didn't have a
chance things"
The next tir1e your faVorite
sports writer tells Fou, Its a
cinch," you assume the attitude of
the gentleman from Missouri. The
underdog is worth looking into.
Take the Northwestern Mime
sofa game. Minnesota was the UNI
beatable, invincible team. It was
getting better and better, and a
third national championship was a
cinch.
Came a letter from Minneapolis
which said in part: There are no
All-Americans on Minnesota this
year. The whole team is All-Ameri-
can, probably the greatest outfit
ever assembled"
That looked suspicious, because if
the Gophers were that good they
wouldn't have had to wait until
the fourth period TO beat Washing
ton, 147, and the last minute of
play TO beat Nebraska, TO. Then
came the Purdue debacle. The
Gophers crushed the Boilermakers,
$50.
Northwestern was beaten without
anyone looking into their chances.
They proved they had good foot
ball team by beating Ohio State,
twice coming from behind 1t was
worth a gamble, so I picked them.

Brawley, however, opened the
fourth quarter with a bang.

Brawley took the ball from the

Derrick, Walker and Woodbridge

How to Pick Long Shots
In Six Intricate Lessons

You must have fallen out of a
high chair as tall as the Empire
State building when you were
child" remarked a st. Paul dis
ciple.
You wrote your death warrant as
a sports writer by picking North
western said another Minnesota
follower.
These fans were merely echoing
the sentiment of the scribes who
kept up steady fanfare of bally-
hoo which the situation didn't call
for.
They helped beat the Gophers.
There1l be four more super spe-
cial underdog winners next year,
and the year following and every
year Human nature and the sports
writer's, including perhaps myself,
will set the stage for them. There
may even be one this Saturday.
Look over the field and find game
between two big teams, where the
scribes are saying one of them
doesn't have chance They may
do that in the Fordham- Purdue game
at New York. If Fordham has its
mind on the Rose Bowl and the
scribes are calling the Rams un-
beatable and the price is 81, take
flyer on the Boilermakers.
But the curse of picking the un-
derdogs is worse than dying a
thousand deaths. Once you hit the
jackpot you always come back for
more. It's an insidious business.
