Robbins Great PaSSer,

JACK ROBBINS, who was held out
" of the Baylor game because Of an
injury to his ankle, is 2 inches over 6
feet. This towering thrower. consid-
cred on a par with T. c. us cele-
brated "Slingin' Sam" Baugh, can
attribute some of his success at least
to the height of his receivers. Dwight
Sloan, who substituted for Jack, is
nearly Sill, and Is regarded almost
Robbins equal as a passer. Ralph
Rawlings, Marion Fletcher and Lloyd
Montgomery, other pass-chucking
backs, are feet or more in height.

Jim Benton and Billy Hunter, who

respectively However, little fell

Interest in the contest is running
high, according to the George WASH

~ r. JOCK SUTHERLAND, the

Few people understand" he said,
"the important part that breaks play
in foot ball-how these breaks can
make or wreck an afternoon. A foot
ball can bound in many directions.
A forward pass can click-or 1t can
miss by an inch. One tumble can
upset an entire game-where several
fumbles might be unimportant.
In our Minnesota game two years
ago-our only defeat-one tumble cost
10 yards and the game. Those 10
yards were more than Minnesota
made all afternoon by rushing.
There Is, Of course, q high
value In being able to use these
breaks at the right time. But
they are a coach's nightmare.

Minnesota needed an 80-yard run

beat a powerful Nebraska team-but
this time it was more the brilliance
Of the play than any turn Of luck that
wrote the story. For that matter,
no team can capitalized on breaks
better than Minnesota.
The Difference,
THERE is difference" Coach
Sutherland said later, between
q lucky break and planned effort.
For example, 1t must be said we got
the break against Ohio State when
Stebbins got away for his winning run
near the finish. But here's what hap
pened-we had the ball on Ohio's 38-
yard line. From certain formation
Stebbins was sent inside tackle. He
picked up only 8 yards. This play
was merely decoy.
"On the next play, from the same
formation, Stebbins started for the
same spot, cut out sharply and caught
the Scarlet defense of guard. At the

A TYPICAL Southwest Confer

~ of Arkansas eleven which will
turn loose its flashing passing
attack against George Washington
Friday night in Washington's second
intersectional grid struggle in Griffith
Stadium The lads from the land Of
the Ozarks feature the forward pass
rather than the running game.
Down in the Southwest Conference,
whence Southern Methodist, Rice and
Texas have come to conquer North
ern and MidweStern teams in recent
years, the boys play what the home
experts like to call ''razzle-dazzle" foot
ball. of which Arkansas, according to
G. WIS scout, is true exponent.
The invading Razorbacks, says the
Buff and Blue informant, employ for
ward and lateral pass plays with as
much faith and confidence as most
teams use tackle smashes. end sweeps
or line bucks. When pass play
doesn't work they look upon its fail
ure with the same degree Of disgust as
most clubs do when a running play
dops.
Just Haphazard Tossing.
RUT Arkansas, the G. w. observer
points out, doesn't miss. at least
to the extent that most teams Go in
forward or lateral passing. 1t has
drilled hours upon hours perfectirg
its aerial maneuvers so that the
passer knows exactly where each re-
ceiver Is located and the receivers
know exactly who trails them to grab
lateras. In short, nothing is hap
hazard about Arkansas passing at
tack.
One OF Arkansas touchdowns in q
14-10 victory over Baylor last Satur-
day was the result of a forward
lateral. The other was scored di-
rectly on a forward. During the last
two years aerial plays have accounted
for more than half OF Arkansas
touchdowns, and this fact takes on
additional significance when it is
considered that the Cardinal and
White hasn't been held s"areless dur
ing that period. Such teams thor
oughly drilled in forward pass attack
and defense as Texas Christian and
Southern Methodist have been scored
upon by Coach Fred Thomsen's team,
now generally called the true aerial
circus of the Southwest"
With squad numbering seven ends
who average 6-feet-2 and 26 players
out of squad of SO who stand 6
feet or taller, the Razorbacks possess
talent ideally suited % their type of
offense. Their starting line for the
game Friday night will average
6-feet-2, while the backs will average
6-feet-11.

POPPING
OFF, ~JhGton... !
But They All Are Not Big Leaguers.

ToR the sake of lot Of illusions
~ concerning the average big
league ball player, the chari-
table way to look upon those
disclosures Of the Nationals world
series share squabble probably Is to
picture the boys as viewing Eddie
Eynon, jr., as something more than a
road secretary. mean, to have them
figure that well. after all, Eynon
probably owns stock in the Washing
ton ball club and that he doesn't need
the do-re-mi as much as they do
And, in thinking thusly, they would
be right. He, fortunately, doesn't
need S400 or $500.
Picturing the whole affair in any
other way, the fact that a ball club
deviated from its custom of including
the road secretary in a spoils divvy is
not a very good commentary on the
Nationals.
In fact, 1t is difficult to be
charitable, because any other
reason they possibly could have
had was taking lot for granted.
In turn, they hardly could ex-
pect better Judgment for them
selves.
When the boys met in solemn con-
ference-or should it be conferences,
because they filibustered, adjourned to
play ball, and convened again?-they
passed up Eynon after heated debate.
This happened the day before the
season closed. This also broke a Is
year string of Washington clubs show
ing their esteem in some way for the
best road secretary in the American
League.
Not a Profitable Business.
THERE is, of course, no reflection
on Eynon because. after all, Is
out Of Is (years) is quite an average
A lot of the guys who voted him down
would like to get IS base hits in 16
times at bat during their lives, and
this is far easier, even against Hub
bell. than wringing a measure of
gratefulness out of a gang of ball
players who are essentially egotistical
and generally unappreciative.
II you don't want to be charitable
about the matter. the first and fcre-
most reaction Is that most ball players
are cheapskates.
In the case of the Nationals
there are some nickel-nursers
and some good spenders. At

of 22.
This is how MANY full shares were

the half share they gave Clubhouse

note they slipped the groundkeeper,
and five one-third shares, boosting the
number of full shares by one more

decrease in the value of a share
Thus, as a money-saving move. 1t
proved only slightly profitable at bes.
As a gesture 1t reeked with cheapness.
Cliff Sweated and Strove, Too.
ONE Of the disclosures that was not
made was who were the ring
leaders. 1t isn't important, of course,
but if any of the ball players had an
idea that Eynon was involved in the
500 fine that was assessed one of the
boys for threatening to harm the
f1axen hair on the heads of a couple
sports writer's last season they were all
wrong. 1t was the secretary who
came to bat for the players and who
asked that only a warning be meted
out, not a fne.
The reported treatment of the Clif
Bolton case was no shining example
either. The majority of the players
were supposed to have vetoed the idea
