By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

A bit late but laden with verbal
dynamite comes an epistle from Bill
Bennett to refute Dutch" Bergman's
statement that Red Grange, Illinois
Galloping Ghost of almost two
decades ago, couldn't carry George
Gipp's helmet.
If he Bergman) hadn't said
that" Mr.. Bennett explains, this
never would have been written"
It all began when this writer
quoted the Catholic University coach
on Grantland Rice's eternal all
America football team which named
Grange in the backf1eld and ignored
Gipp, one of Notre Danes all-time
stars. Mr.. Bergman, "the Clippers"
roommate at South Bend, thought
Gipp rated above Grange and said
so. Bennett thinks otherwise, and
has sound arguments to support his
rebuttal.
Identifying himself as an alumnus
of Butler University, "a, and second
string end on the Bulldog eleven dur
ing his undergraduate days, Bennett
saw Gipp play, and played against
Grange himself, so his evidence is
first-hand. If Bergman made Gipp
out to be a superman in football
uniform, Bennett thinks Grange was
better, sort of a super-superman, and
his argument is convincing.
Denies Gipp More Elusive.
"The greatest misstatement of
them ALL" reads part of the epistle,
"is that Gipp was more elusive than
Grange. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. The Illinois iceman
stood by himself in running. Foot
ball is largely running. No one ever
has run as Red Grange ran; I don't
believe any one ever will. In cleats,
his yellow helmet and the big "77"
on his back, Grange was a breeze
before q hurricane. He drifted, fl
tered, shot, slanted, shifted and
charged all in one motion. His tim
ing was superb.
Bergman said he couldn't pass
or kick. He could. I've watched
both Gipp and Grange, and although
Gipp was q better kicker, he Ger.
tainly was no better as a passer.
The reason Red didn't kick for the
Orange and Blue was because
Zuppke had Earl Britton to kick.
Men who have seen them all will tell
you that nobody ever outkicked
Britton.
Bergman said Grange wasn't an
outstanding man on defense. He
was. He was the surest, most capable
safety man I've ever seen, although
for two years he played left half on
a diamond defense.
II saw Red play eight games and
never saw him miss tackle. I saw
him break the heart of Iowa's great
elusive Cowboy Kutch by never let
ting him break for more than 10
yards. Red tackled them for keeps.
g.. He could run In mud, In
snow, or on. hrm green turf. His
art always VA eood. no matter what

Bergman to Call Squad
Tomorrow for Stort
Of Heavy Practice

Planning a new repertoire OF plays
for his teams Sun Bowl appearance,
Coach Dutch" Bergman Of Catholic
University sends his gridmen back
to work tomorrow for two weeks of
intensive preparation.
With his Orange Bowl experience
of four years ago behind him Berg

cts high altitude" said Berg
man. II think it's around 3,700 feet
and that undoubtedly will affect our
boys, so I'll have to take steps to off,
set that handicap"
I'm going to speed up and open
up our style of play for this game" "
Bergman said yesterday afternoon,
because I think speed will pay
dividends. If we can get touch
down on Arizona it will be a ire
mendous advantage. It may make
it shift its plans a bit and make
it take chances it wouldn't risk If we
were on even footing. We got out
in front of Mississippi and 1t was
that head start that won the game. ?"
Bergman's small casualty list still
has three players, including Rocco
Pirro. the Cards bruising fullback,
but all will be able to start practice
tomorrow and should be ready for
hard work within q week. The
Brookland coach, however, intends
to avoid scrimmage as much as pos
sible to guard against more serious

that high school athletes were be-

the circumstances. Nearly every one
remembers the day Illinois dedicated
its gigantic Memorial Stadium
against great Michigan team that
was slated for the Big Ten title.
They recall Grange catching the
opening kickoff and will-o-th
wisping SO yards to score. Four
touchdowns in II minutes-96, 70,
So, 80 yards-then Zuppke took him
out.
Needed Little Interference.
"And lots of people say, What
would Grange have been without
Britton, McIlwain and Hall to block
for him?' True enough, they were
fine blocking trio, but all you had
to do was scatter them very slightly,
and that was enough for Red.

Ghost on a muddy day in Phila-
delphia in 1925. Pennsylvania was
good, too, but they didn't stop the
Ghost In downpour, he tented
them all for touchdowns then passed
them dizzy. Minnesota stopped him
once with an injury; Nebraska
stopped him once by superhuman
defensive work. Nobody else ever
did. For three years running that's
genius"
From his own actual experiences
Mr.. Bennett recalls Grange circling
his end in an early season game
against Butler, and an occasion
when the Butler center, right tackle
and himself had Red trapped only
to see him get away. Some years
later Bennett related the incident
to Benny Oosterbaan, Michigan's
great all-America end of '25 and
'26, but it wasn't news to Benny.
"'He had fire in him, that fella,'
said Oosterbaan. Grange never
said much on the field, but yeu could
see the fire in his eyes and in the
lines of his face and the way he ran.
Like Tackling Vapor.
Zuppke had the slickest double
reverse I ever saw Oosterbaan con-
tinued. Three men handled the
ball and the first time I saw it
Grange was coming around my end.
The way I tackled him reminded me
OF eating candy cotton. You take
a big bite and there's nothing there.
I was sure I had him. It was a
funny feeling-lke tackling piece
of cloud"
In closing Bennett admits 1t is
painful for q Hoosier to dish out
praise for an Illini, but he deserves.
II still can see him running" he
closes. "Effortless, almost as if he
were in no hurry at ala combina-
ton of panther and gazelle. What
he did with his feet was inspiration
enough for an Illinois team that
wasn't a championship ball club.
Here's a right hand going up for
Grantland Rice's pick of quarter
back on his eternal team.
II don't say that George Gipp
shouldn't have been on it, just that
Red u where he belongs.

Big Ten Won't Alter
Any.Ru|es 10 Help
Chicago on Grid
Often-Defeuted School
Is Told to Iron Out
Its Own Problems
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-University of
Chicago lost another decision today
to the Big Tens chief athletic
governing body, the faculty repre-.
sentatives.
Chicago's plan to grant competi-
tive sports eligibility to transfer and
graduate students, calculated to i'm
prove the caliber of oft-defeated
Maroon football teams, was rejected
by the Faculty Committee-which
told Chicago to iron out its own
gridiron problem and do so under
the existing Western Conference
rules.
Chicago Still Uncertain.
AS a result, the question Of what
may happen to football at Chicago,
which had 3OS points scored on
its team this fall and has not won
a Big Ten game in three seasons,
remained unanswered.
Dean George Works of Chicago,
however, indicated Chicago will con-
tinue to seek solution to the prob
lem which through the past few
seasons has steadily become more
embarrassing. Chicago, he indi-
Gated, could disregard today's rul-
ing and go through with its plan
but he disclosed that should Chi
cago make transfer and graduate
students eligible for football-Chi-
cago would be forced to withdraw
from the conference in that sport.
Dean Works said that should Chi
cago institute its plan for all sports
the school would be forced to with
draw entirely from the conferences
athletic setup.
Trying to Ease Schedule.
He indicated that an effort would
be continued to tighten the Maroon
schedule, and there were reports
that Chicago now is attempting to
drop one of three games now sched-
uled for next fall on the gridiron-
with Michigan. Purdue and Ohio
State.
AS the faculty men met, coaches
and athletic directors wound up the
annual two-day session by complet-
ing schedules for 1910 in several
sports. Track mentors announced
that the central intercollegiate in
door track meet would be held March
8-9 at Michigan State, East Lansing,
Mich. The outdoor central inter-
collegiate meet will be held June Z
at Milwaukee.

Freshman snatching," that is,

fore he has participated in athletics,
also was scored roundly on the floor,
but a proposal advanced jointly by
Furman and Clemson to make stu
dents ineligible for participation at
another conference school upon ma
circulation was voted down. t.
DR.. Lee w. Milford of Clemson, in
suggesting the change, said he knew
of no cases of freshman snatching'
in the Southern loop, but that it had
caused trouble elsewhere.
Debate over this question result
ed in passage of a motion by DR..
Milford that conference coaches
formulate code of ethics" gov
erning solicitation of high scho,

laws which would limit junior COL
lege transfers to two years of var
sity football in conference schools

Davidson. North Carolina and
Maryland were the only schools sup
porting the Richmond move. Pres
ent conference rules allow accred-
tied junior college graduates three
years of sports competition in con-
ference schools.

charges brought the meeting its
only blast Of fireworks comparable
to the Graham plan" anti-subsi-
dization battling of the last few
years.
Contracts Not Binding.
Nicely said he had checked on the
legality of the contracts with the
high school youths and found they
would not be binding, but added
that they imposed what the pro-
spective students often felt was a
moral obligation to attend the COL
Iege in question.
Conference tournaments for 1910
were awarded as follows:

Maryland Faces Stiff
Game With Terrors;
6. ". Plays Culver
c. U. Practice Disrupted
As Sun Bowl Grid Tilt
Robs Basket Squad

College basket ball pops into the
spotlight this week with firing on
three fronts involving four District
teams. Maryland, Georgetown,
George Washington and American
University will make their 1889 de-
butts while Georgetown, with two
games under its belt, goes to the post
q third time.
The Terps get the ball bouncing
Tuesday night, playing host to West
ern Maryland's improved dribblers
at College Park, and it is no push
over Coach Burt Shipleys boys go
against. The Terrors displayed
characteristics of formidable team
In bowling to Georgetown last week,
and will have the advantage of that
game to help them over the rough
spots.
Maryland Strong Again.
Maryland expects to have another
formidable outfit, although the loss
of George Knepley and Eddie john
son, who graduated, will be felt
keenly. Knepley, keenest shot on
the squad, was the lad who spanked
most of the Terps' late drives and led
them to victory. He will be hard to
replace, so hard that Shipley is re-
building his attack in an effort to
take up the slack.
George De Witt, lanky center, who
with Knepley and Johnson was all
conference last year, is back, along
with Pershing Mondorff and Adam
Bengochea, and the trio will form
the nucleus for the 1899 squad.
Mearle Du Vail, an outstanding
freshman last year, and Milton Null
itz probably will round out the first
five.
Charley Weidinger, Eddie Miller,
Bill Rea, Leon Vannais, Ashton Gar
rett and Bernie Ulman are reserves
Shipley is counting on for an added
punch.
Holiday Games Tough for G. w.
George Washington, which runs
into some of the hardest games on
its schedule during the Christmas
holidays, will have well-rounded
team to send against Culver, and Bill
Reinharts boys should take the in
augural. Reinhart must replace four
topnotch stars, Bob Faris, Jack But
terworth, Sid SilkoWitz and Bruce
Borum. all separated from the squad
by graduation, but still feels he can
whip together team that at least
will equal last years record of 13
victories in 81 games.
American University expects to
have another formidable array of
tossers, and is pointing for the
Hoyas. for win over the neighbor-
ing school would be bright plume
in the Eagles cap. In Carl Byham,
6-foot 5-lnch center, American
boasts one of the finest pivot men
in this neck of the woods, and with
the consistent George Brown and
Dutch Schultze to feed him shots
Byham should prove a potent factor
in the teams work
Practice at catholic University has
been disrupted by the recall of foot
ball men, who comprise a big ma
jority. Coach "Fod" Cotton expected
to get flying start this year with
plenty of time to mold his team be-
fore the opening game January 8,
but the Sun Bowl football game in
vltation wrecked his plans and the
Redbirds will be late as usual in
getting under way.
