RAMS BEAT LOOP
MARK AT PASSING
Redskins Next Rivals Have
. Made go, Completed 26
in Two TiIts.
BY RAY FLAHERTY,

Coach, Champion Washington Redskins.
Let me 60 on record with the predic-
ton that the Redskins viii be lucky to
beat Cleveland next Sunday II they
play good football. And that's some
thing they didn't do against Brooklyn.
Well be meeting far different and,
I think, better team in the Rams than
the Dodgers, and the Westerners have
some Of the country's outstanding COL
lege seniors Of last year in their lineup.
But. before get down to individual
tiles, let me call your attention to one
thing. The Rams have thrown 60
passes In two games. That's about 10
more per game than Sammy Baugh
threw for us last season and 21 more
than we've attempted In the same
number Of league games this year.
Furthermore, the Rams have COM
pleted 26 Of them for an efficiency
average Of 40 per cent, better than
the league record for passing.
Strong 1t Rushinx, Too.
Another thing about the potential
tiles Of the Cleveland attack. In two
games Ram backs have gained GOT
yards, yet have lost both. That's more
yardage than any other team in the
league except the Redskins has &C.
counted for In two games. And look
how Cleveland was beaten-by the
Chicago Cardinals, 7-6, and by the
Green Bay Packers, 2e-17, Those II
points against the Packers were more
than We could score against the same
team last year.
Getting down to personalities. the
Rams really seem to have men who
will put Cleveland on the pro football
map. In the backfield there's Corby
Davis Of Indiana, an all-America Sc
lection last year Of many critics and
a man who gave US plenty Of trouble
IN the All-Star game in Chicago. Davis
is a great line-bucker. an excellent
blocker and a good defensive back.
Then there's another Davis-Bob
from Kentucky. who was the leading
scorer of the Southeastern Conference
for three years. Once he scored five
touchdowns In . single game against
Washington and Lee, one Of them by
. l00-yard run. Bob is triple threat
back and an especially good ball
carrier.
Drake Is Line Crasher.
Johnny Drake, the Rams right half
back. was one Of the best all-around
players in the National League last
year, which was his first. The former
Purdue star is 21o-pounder and
crashes the line with all he's got.
In addition the Rams have such
other backs as Vic Spadaccini and
Jules Alphonse of Minnesota, Ed God
dard of Washington State, Stan Pin
cura, an old Ohio State quarterback,
and Nels Peterson, . little fellow the
Redskins had last year. who has the
possibilities Of being . great scat"
back.
The Rams have some real linemen,
too, and tomorrow III tell you about
them.

Follow an Interesting Diet
With Lomb Chops Featured.

Bike riders follow q very interesting
diet. when they are not sleeping or
asking the doctor not to amputate.
1t consists chiefly Of lamb chops.
They certainly eat lot Of lamb
chops" says Mr.. Harry Mendel, who
foots the bill.
Torchy Peden, for instance, will
wolf 20 to rs chops a day, during the
race. II you took all the lamb chops
that have been eaten by six-day
bike riders and laid them end to end,
you would simply be wasting your
time. There Is no call for that kind
Of work any more.
The rules Of the pastime are very
easy to understand, except on Tues
days and Thursdays. Roughly they
are as follows:
l. The beys cover as umuch ground
as they oan between Monday and
Saturday, because the place will be
closed OH Sunday.
2. Every once in while somebody
steals lap. The police believe that
this is tla work Of gang
3. II two teams finish with the same
number Of laps to their credit, the one
with the most points wins. Points
are scored for cleanliness, department,
perfect attendance, color, breeding
and net yield.
Now and then some civic leader
announces that he will give $50 to
the winner of the next sprint, and,
while the riders are sending out to
have his credit investigated, he asks
his wife to kick him the next time he
makes a crack like that.
To sum it up, six-day bike racing
Is good, clean sport. 1t keeps millions
Of people out of doors.

BIG TEN NTEREST

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-Bill De Cor
revont, the Nations most highly pub
licized 1887 prep football player. will
gallop again Saturday-on q college
gridiron.
While Iowa headed for its intersec-
tional game at Los Angeles and Minne-
sofa girded itself for Washington's
Huskies, Big Ten football interest
around Chicago centered on "the kid"
and Northwestern's coming freshman
varsity game.
In it De Correvont Will make his
collegiate debut as the freshmen's left
halfback.
He wound up the 1897 season at
Chicago's Austin High School with 30
touchdowns. nine in one game and
most of them on long dashes. He
scored 211 points and made at least
one touchdown in each Of 10 games
As finale he led Austin to a city
championship-and q crowd Of ap-
proximately $4,000 paid its way into
Soldier Field to see 1t happen.
Bill Impressive in Practice.
So college coaches all over the ma
ton held their breath as he prepared
to make his college choice. When he
did, it was Northwestern because I

In a weeks practice. De Correvont
has wasted little time In impressing
coaches with his running, kicking and
passing. How well he can dent the
varsity and impress Head Coach Lynn
Waldorf may attract enough Of the
football curious to dust of several
times over the usual 1000 or 5000 seats
used.
Meanwhile, Waldorf said he was well
pleased with the way his varsity squad
was shaping up for the Big Ten cam
paign. His chief problems appear to
involve defensive play, particularly
backing up the line, and finding
capable understudy for Center John
Hamen.
Ali other departments appear well
in hand and competition for places
strong. In fact, Oliver Red" Hahnen-
stein, the Aurora, H., sophomore, is
making SO strong bid for Jack Ryan's
halfback position. the veteran has been
working overtime to hold the No. !
ranking.

polishing-of exercises for its encounter

Michigan eased up on drills because
Of registration. Fundamentals occu-
pied most of the Chicago Maroons'
time. But at Illinois Coach Bob Zuppke
sent his varsity against freshmen using
Ohio U. plays and found weaknesses In
the Illini's passing defense. Indiana
practiced against freshmen using Ohio
State plays. At Wisconsin, the varsity
ran over the second team for four
touchdowns, but "they ran like sailors

But Alekhin played chess behind
