Lesson for College Football.

THERE is stern lesson for college
football in the tactics of the pros.
How many college games this year re-
suited in ties that field goal would
have smashed to pieces? About a
hundred. And, for that matter, how
many major games have wound up
to 6, 13 to IL or IA to 13? A couple
dozen. Ten trained place-kickers of
the Manders variety, operating in
college this season, would have
changed the whole football map of
the country.
Dartmouth would be undefeated.
Notre Dame would not have beaten
Minnesota. Illinois would have had
a tie with Michigan and T. c. U. with
Fordham, and Pittsburgh would be an
unbeaten and united power. There
are other examples too numerous to
mention, as we say in politics.
Naturally, the Manderses are few
and far between. A certain amount
of GOODNESS and nonchalance must be
born in your kicker. But training
can make any man specialist in
this department, specialist to the
extent that he will make out of 10
OF his point-after-touchdown shots
good.
Practice will help, the pro experts
tell you, but the confidence that makes
. Manders or Manton is best ac-
quired in actual combat. Lou Little's
Columbia team lost to Army early in
the season by the margin of three
points after touchdown, 81 to 18.
Little complained afterward that his
place-kicker was a fellow who could
put 25 in row between the posts
on the practice field on week days.
Il guess it was the tension of the
game that got him." said Lou, and he
probably was right.

n YEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The two
M leading cash football teams of
" the country-so far this sea-
\ son-fought to a draw at the
Polo Grounds Sunday when the Bears
Of Chicago, complete with Nagurski,
came from behind to tie the Giants,
3 to 8.
The Giants field goal was pip,
travelling Al yards from the cultured
toe Of Ward Cuff, late of Marquette.
The Bears tying shot was mere 20
yarder, matter of routine for Mr..
Jack Mechanical" Manders, who can
do these things in his sleep. Mr..
Manders' foot swings as smoothly as
a pendulum. 1t would be an act of
the blacklist ingratitude for the ball
to fail to go over the crossbar under
such circumstances, and the ball
never does fail. That's part of the
agreement between Mr.. Manders and
the National Pigskin Guild. From
their infancy, young swine are taught
to cooperate with Mr.. Manders when
the time somes for them to contribute
their kimonos to the public welfare.
What is true of Manders is true Of
several other place-kickers in pro foot
ball, including the gifted Tillie Manton.
Put them within practical range of the
crossbar, and you have your three
points-three points that can mean
the ball game, as they did in this
battle for undisputed league leadership
between the Giants and the Bears.

Different Type Than Baush.

You got to talking to Faherty about
this fellow, Dixie Howell, and it
develops that for all Of his oflcial
inactivity Howell has won the respect
and esteem OF his teammates.
Hes . good passer, really" said
FIaherty. mo. wouldn't say he is
as good or better than Baugh. After
all. that is = stern measuring gauge
and you've got to remember that
Dixie has been out Of football for q
long time.
Howell and Baugh are diff
ferent kinds Of passers. Howell
Is the Notre Dame type.
II mean, he throws a lighter ball.
It is easier to catch and, by the same
token, easier to intercept. In short,
Dixie arches his passes more than
Baugh.
Sammy throws his passes as a
ball player throws peg to second
base. Because his passes travel 50
swiftly, Baugh throws more directly
to q receiver. Howell has to throw
his passes ahead Of the receiver. Both
are remarkably accurate.
For the sake Of comparison,
though, would say that Howell ought
to be one Of the best passers in the Ma
tional League. would have to rank
Baugh as the best and Ed Danowski
Of the Giants second. After that
come Howell and Arnold Herber. All

Onhand, you might add that
Howell not only can pass but

the movements of the ball-holder, and
simply bring his toe forward at the
right time, in the right groove.

Shu OF Alexandria Is Beinq
Compared With AII.Time
Heroes of v. M. |.
By the Associated Press.

n ICHMOND, Va, Nov 1.-The
- old grads Of v. M. I. already
are comparing a stocky, blond
youngster named Paul Shu,
from Alexandria, with such fying
squadron football immortals as Jimmy
Leech, Windy White, Alb Barnes and
Al Hawkins.
The triple threat Shu had a long
lead IN both the Southern Confer
ence and State scoring race today with
As points, and in converting from
placement against Army Saturday he
hung up a record of tallying in all
seven contests in which he has ap-
peared this season.
Although Army outscored v. M. l.,
20 to z, sports writer's at the ringside
rated the former Alexandria High star
as the best back on the field. Shu sent
an 11-yard pass to Andy Trzeciak for
the Keydet touchdown. 1t was the
third time one of his aerials had found
receiver beyond the goal line this
season.
Terrapin Will Test Shu.
THE big test for Shu and company
comes Saturday when v. M. I.
risks It's conference title hopes against
powerful Maryland eleven. Unbeaten
IN three appearances against loop foes,
V. M. I. also must gain decisions over
The Citadel and Virginia Tech to fin
lsh the season with an unsullied rec
ord. Marylands Terrapins, who have
beaten such teams as Syracuse and
Florida, loom as the toughest of the
three barriers.
The game will be played as home
coming feature at 4 am. in Lexington,
with the Washington and Lee-Vir-
ginia contest to follow at pm.
Virginia Techs Gobblers will re-
turn to the scene of their surprising
defeat by William and Mary to meet
the Spiders at Richmond. The Tech
men have shown much improvement
since that upset, losing by a touch
down margin at N. c. State and de-
feating Washington and Lee and
Hampden-Sydney decisively.
Eagles Meet Randolph Macon.
A CLOSE scrap is in prospect at
Salem, where Coach Billy Lavars
improved Emory and Henry team
will meet Roanoke. William and
Mary, beaten SO at Virginia, will en-
tertain Hampden-Sydney in what
should be an easier assignment this
week end.
Randolph-Macon, boasting the best
record among Old Dominion football
teams with six triumphs in seven
games. will play American U. at WASH

Rogers at center was the one bright
spot in the Generals performance.
Emory downed Presbyterian, 22-6,
