fornia to see what he could do about
promoting that tidy sum from the
worlds fair people there.
Whether such a meeting could be
arranged, even if Jacobs is success
full in his quest for the 500 grand, is
another question. Jack Dempsey
gave it as his opinion that "Max
Baer never should be given a chance
at Louis again. The match wouldn't
draw and anyway l don't think any
athletic commission would sanction
it,"
A more likely challenger for the
heavyweight championship would
come from the field of aspiring
youngsters who are rapidly pushing
such veterans as Baer, Tommy
Farr, Max Schmeling and Tony Ga
lento out of the picture. These new
corners include Lou Nova of Cali
fornia, Gunnar Barlund of Finland,
Bob Pastor of New York, Jimmy
Adamick of Detroit and Maurice
Strickland of New Zealand.
Lou Nova in particular has proved
that he's no fash-in-the-pan. The
crack coast heavyweight has had
an extremely rapid development in
the two years since he turned pro-
fessional, after winning the inter-
national amateur heavyweight box
ing title in Paris.
In close to Is fights as a pro his
only setback came on a disputed
decision to Make Rosenbloom.
Nova's greatest triumph was his
knockout of Bob Nestell, after Mes
tell had gone 10 rounds with Bob
Pastor. His. record also includes
victories over Lee Ramage, Phil
Brubaker, Salvatore Ruggirello and
Sonny Walker.

since the University of Chicago de-
cided he was "tOO old" to coach
and wanted to make him emeritus
director of athletics six years ago.
Stage, who has probably contrib
uted more to the progress of foot
ball than any living man, recently
gave his ideas on current trends of
the sport. He believes that the most
progressive development is not the
lateral pass, but the return to the
old single wing back.
ANY good class B college football
team of 1898 could beat the i'm
mortal football teams of 80 years
ago by two touchdowns," he said.
'The boys of today are bigger,
stronger, faster and more agile ath-
letes than the men who made up
the squads of old Yale. Princeton
and Harvard.
"Thirty years ago, football was an
exclusive sport for the few young
men who could afford to 60 to col
lege. Today it is the common mans
sport and because more boys are
playing it, it naturally must be bet
ter"

Back to the Boys

One of the novel ideas that Mum
ger has already put in effect is Civ
ing the game back to the boys. The
team captain attends. all coaching
conferences and has voice in the
choosing of starting lineups.
A card index system is another
innovation. Every player has rat
ing sheet. His good points and faults
are listed and no player is shifted
from one team to another without
knowing the reason.
"a A movie camera and corps of
undergraduate statisticians follow
scrimniage and record the yardage
gained or lost, the exact play used,
who missed or made a block and
who missed or made tackle. It's
as systematized as a Dun & Brad
street report.
Munger has some interesting new
theories that are as yet too untried
to completely justify themselves. He
has devised single wing back style
of attack that is basically the same
as Harvey Hartman used at Penn
last year, but has different block
ing assignments from start to finish.
The tail back is posted behind the
weak side guard and the bucking
back behind the strong side guard.
This, Munger believes, gives added
strength to short side plays.
