Skins Hope Luck Continues.

ON THAT score the Skins are trust
ing that their luck holds good, for
they have been extremely fortunate in
most Of their games this season. Only
during two, at Cleveland and Pitts

neither city was as cold as Chicago
Is today.
1t was to that luck-and their reali-
sation of the great spirit among the
Skins-that Washington supporters
are clinging today. If they can main
tain their enthusiasm, which has
been an important factor in their
winning of seven of their last eight
games, for just two more days, the

not stop them from winning the

n ICHMOND, var Dec. 10.-The'
~ pyrotechnic topics Of subsidi-,
N zation were paramount as del,
4 egates awaited the opening of
the sixteenth annual Southern Con-
ference today.
Two proposals submitted by Virginia
Tech have aroused the most pre-meet-
ing debate. One would abolish many
of the conference bylaws regulating
financial assistance, scholarships and
jobs for athletes. The other would re-
quire that "a semester hours be passed
in the preceding semester in order for
an athlete to be eligible for varsity
sports.
Opposition to both recommended
tions appeared to be mounting as pres
idents and athletic officials of the Is
member colleges milled about the
headquarters hotel. Since these were
the only major proposals to be acted
upon relating to aid and scolarship,
the delegates were faced with the al
tentative of giving these their ap-
proval or leaving the present regul-
lations virtually intact.
Wants d. c. Excluded.
OTHER proposals were filed by
Clemson, the Citadel, Duke anc
Maryland. Clemson would narrow the
conference territory to the States o.
Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas
eliminating the District of Columbia
That school also sought to restric
the use Of moving picture cameras a
football games to the institutions com
peting.
The Citadel suggested that maxi
mum of 25 players be permitted +
participate in conference games, wit
the head coaches of the competin
teams submitting lists of eligible play
ers in advance.
Duke and Maryland proposals GOV
cred minor changes in the transfer
one-year residence and scholasti
rules.
The regulations aimed to curb sub
sidization provide that all financi,
assistance under control of the col
leges be open to athletes and non

YEW Yonh, DcC. 1U.-JuSt ~
1885 was the season of one
" major trend in college foot
L ball, so l9azzwAs the season
of many trends.
The annual Associated Press survey,
which has as its object the discovery
of which way the football winds are
blowing, shows they We're blowing
every which way. There is little eyi-
dence of a Nationwide keynote, such
as last years increased use of the for
ward pass, that it seems advisable to
list the various trends and the sections
in which they were most pronounced.
Pass Has Varied Fortune.
l. Less forward passing, observed at
Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech, West Vir-
ginia, Cornell, Syracuse, Princeton
and Rutgers in the East; notably Ohio
State in the Midwest; Alabama
Louisiana State, Tulane, Auburn
Florida and Sewanee in the South;
California, Washington. Washington
State, Southern California and Oregon
State in the Far West.
2. More forward passing, observed
at Villanova, Georgetown, George
Washington and Maryland Colleges ir
the East; Marquette, Iowa, the Biz
Six, Detroit, st. Louis and smaller col.
leges in Nebraska and Indiana, in tn.
Midwest; Duke, Kentucky and tht
Virginia colleges in the South; Arkan
sas in the Southwest; the entire Rock!
Mountain Conference.
3. Less lateral passing, observed
virtually everywhere
4. Stronger defenses, with emphasi
on the epidemic spread of tn
f1ve-man line and other freak or, il
the words of Wesley Fry of Kansa
State, "crazy" defenses, observed il
the East, the Big Six, the Pacifi
Northwest, the Southeastern Confer
ence and the Rockies.
S. Increased power and deception
in running attacks: observed, anon
others, at Yale, Harvard, West Vir
ginia, Carnegie Tech, Cornell, Rut
gers, Maine, Ohio State, Vanderbilt
Southern Methodist, Rice, Texs
Christian, California, Washingto,
Washington State, Southern Cali
fornia and Idaho
6. Wider use of the field goal, in
stead Of fourth-down gamble on a
"an-or nothing" play; observed prir
cipally in New England, Pennsylvani
and the Southeastern Conference.
The use Of the forward pass ar
peared to hinge pretty much on til
material at hand. The larger school
well-equipped with manpower, cho.
to turn to power and deception play
with California, Harvard, Cornell an
Ohio State as notable examples. TT

drop that the size OF most football
squads ranged from II to 80 men.
Lateral Droops Further.
THE lateral continued to lose favor.
Even those teams which contin-
ued to employ it found it to be, as
often as not, a boomerang. One
standout exception to this rule was
undefeated Fordham, which made ex-
tensive use of the down-fleld lateral.
The five-man line was the principal
new development of the year. Yale
was it's chief sponsor in the early
campaigns end it had spread through
out the country, and was invaluable
| to Alabama on its all-Winning march
to Rose Bowl bid. and to Washing
ton in it's scoreless tie with the Cali
fornia Coast Conference champions.
| Alabama, too, was one of the most
publicized revivers of the field goal,
using it twice to gain winning points
and supplying a strong argument to
those coaches who favor leaving the
goal posts alone.
| Lowell (Red) Dawson of Tulane
struck the field goal keynote when he
said, The revival of the field goal
has been the most striking trend il
football this season. Offhand, /. would
seem the passing game has not been
as effective, since the defense seems
more capable of combating this type
of play than ever before; thus the
field goals seem to be less of fourth
down gamble than passes"
Adam Walsh Sizes 1t Up.
A DAM WALSH of Maine, one of th'
late Knute Rocknes "sever
mules" summed UP the entire situa
ton pretty we'll with the statemen
that the general trend in play wa
increased deception and variations il
defense. There were greater varia
tions of defensive alignments thi
year than ever. Passing in genera
was about the same, though the add
ed deception made some passes NOR
effective"
Walsh closed with postscript tina
has become increasingly true in re
cent years as major powers hav
dropped "breathers" from thei
schedules. THE biggest lesson fror
1887 football" he said, "is that n
team can take an opponent for grant
ed Look over the records and nc
, tice the number of so-called UP
SETS"
That's something the experts, g
q well as the coaches, still are tryin
to forget. -

~ HICAGO, Dec. 10.-Sooner or

Field, probably sooner than

tons Redskins will bump into Mr..
Bronko Nagurski and wish they hadn't
The Bronx is 28 years old now, but
when the chips are down he is tough
cookie The Chicago Bears, anyway,
are banking on him when they play
Washington for the pro championship.
The only big change in Bronko
today, as against the time he emerged
from Minneapolis as an all-America
star, Is that he is rassler. To be
specific, If that's possible in connection
with rassling, Nagurski is the king
of the grunters and groaners. AS a
football player he still is dynamic as
a line plunger and as blocking back.
Nagurski now Is spending his eighth
season with the Bears and is second
in seniority. Only Jules Carlson. a
guard from Oregon State, has been
with the Western champions longer
In reality, they are even now, for
Carlson has been out with injuries

WHEN he first came into the Ma

Nagurski started his grid career al

he made the team and started one oi

Big Neck Comes in Handy.
OPPONENTS say that Bronx is as
easy to stop as the average line
plunger If he is tackled before he
reaches the line of scrimmage. Once
past it, under full momentum, he Is,
tough. Six feet two inches in height
and weighing 230 pounds, the rassle
champ charges with head down and
knees high and to meet him in
head-on collision is asking for trou-
BILE. National Leaguers usually tackle
him from the side, or from behind
or not at all
Nagurski isn't an elusive, will-o'-
the-wisp type Of back like Cliff
Battles. Under full steam, he ducks
and runs away when he sees trouble
ahead.
The Bronx has a neck that meas
ures 20 inches. 1t came in handy two
years ago at Wrigley Field, when he
hit the enemy line, IS yards from the
goal line, and kept charging straiDhr
ahead. Too late he saw he had
reached the goal line and was going
stright for the iron screening in front
Of the grandstand. He bounced of
the fence and Topped on his back.
