n YEW YORK, October 23-Pro-
nj fessional foot ball, unlike the
" tendency of major league base
ball, is no old settlers picnic.
The old guard Of the salaried grid
ranks is finding it tougher and tougher
to hang on with the upward surge Of
fresh talent that Is pouring in from
crossroad colleges and big universities
throughout the land.
Not so many years ago it used to be
a prominent college player, recruited
into the salaried ranks, would spend
his first season. and sometimes his
second, too, on the bench most of the
time before he could crash through as
a first-rank performer.
Besides there were some noteworthy
failures. simon-pure greats who found
it too difficult to make the grade in
the big leagues. Stan Kostka, one
Of Minnesota's bigger guns in 1884,
faded after a season with the Brook
lyn Dodgers. Before him Christian
(Red) eagle of Army and Cliff Mont
gomery of Columbia couldn't stand
the pace.

that the Marquette passer has lost
none Of his throwing effectiveness,

Tempo Is Increased.

THE pace has been stepped up in
the last two years with several
alterations of the rules tending to
open and speed up the play. These
changes-notably permitting passing
anywhere behind and up to the line
Of scrimmage-were designed to in
crease the effectiveness of offense,
consequently making speed of foot
more essential and taking the stress
of mountainous defenses. And that's
where youth comes in.
Take the case of the Chicago Bears,
current leaders Of the Western divi-
sion of the league. Four Of their
starting players are f1rst-year men
Danny Fortmann, 20, Colgate, and
Eddie Michaels, %, Villanova, guards;
Joe Stydahar. %, West Virginia,
tackle. and Ray Molting. %, Cincin-
natl University, halfback.
Fortmann, the leagues youngest
player, was one Of the outstanding
linesmen for the college all-stars in
the two games against the Detroit
Lions and the New York Giants and is
one of the most powerful factors in
the Bears forward wall. The fact that
he was Phi Beta Kappa man in COL
lege explains his early graduation and
debut in pro ranks.

Warren on the Gallop.

WARREN ran go yards on the first
Nv play against North Carolina
State and later intercepted pass to
score a 48-yard touchdown which won
the game.
Still another feared Deacon is Por-
ter Sheppard, whose 58-yard punt
return settled the issue against
Wofford.
When Wake Forest was scheduled
the Colonials figured they'd have a
breather between the Arkansas and
Rice games, or at least game they
could win more or less in stride. But
there were no such thoughts remain
ing yesterday when the Buff and Blue
tapered of. The general feeling was
that c. w. would need all its resources
to prevail tonight.
In contrast to the Colonials' stale
ness, the Deacons are thoroughly
hoped up for battle to which they
have looked eagerly. Students, faculty
members and townspeople, led by the
Wake Forest band, joined in a rousing
send-of as the squad pulled out for
Washington.

Purdue Has Fine Backs.
IF THE Gophers have an outstand-
ing weakness, it should show tomor-
row under the pounding Of Purdue's
fine line and two backs already ac-
claimed one of the best pair of ball
toters in the Midwest. Cecil Isbell,
who can punt, pass and run with un-
usual proficiency. has sparked his
teams attack. Playing with him will
be John Drake. a slashing back with
speed and drive. -.
The Goplers have the edge in re-
serve strength. with two and three
good men for almost every position.
Their questionable strength lies in the
fullback spot, where Vic Spadaccini,
Whitman Rork, Larry Buhler and
George Faust alternate. In Andy
Uram, Bud Wilkinson, Julius Alphonse,
Rudy Gmitro, Wilbur Moore. Bill
Matheny and Tuffy Thompson they
have numerous fine offensive threats.
Minnesota's last defeat was in 1882,
at the hands of Michigan. In 1888
the Gophers won four games and lost
as many. starting their current win
ming streak by downing Wisconsin,
to 8, in the final tilt of the year.
In 1884 they piled up 270 points to 3S

amassed 1914 points to 46 for oppo-

Walton Kitchin, halfback who
wrought the Colonials' 7-6 defeat by

a bevy of veterans. Kitchin's princi-
pal duty tonight, it is expected, will
be the firing of passes. for which he
is noted, but the son of the Wake

and kicker of pronounced ability.
