there was another scout present, so
the G. WIS held back and scored only
one touchdown. This strategy was
good, but 1t didn't work because But

I like George Washington because
it's convenient to downtown, the CO.

Southern Sports Writers Produce Prize Crop Of Nckname for Foobae
Redskins Told to Rush Herber,
Stick With Hutson for Win
In Packer Game Sunday

of the goal with the confidence that
Hutson's ground-covering ability will
find him at spot when the ball
finally comes down.
According to Packer observers,
Cecil Isbell, Green Bays other
passer, is not half the HEAVIER Herber
is, especially if hit hard a couple of
times when ne starts throwing.
Redskin forwards, therefore, are be-
ing drilled constantly In rushing any
Bay back who passes. They've also
been told that they can expect a
pass any time Herber's in the tail
back spot, for the aging fullback
hasn't run with the ball for five
years and the Bays punting is done
by 1sbell or Clarke Hinkle.
If the Redskins can bottle up
Herber and Hutson, they stand an
excellent chance of returning to
Washington undefeated, for the
Marshallmen are considered some
what stronger extensively than the
Cleveland Rams and Chicago Cardi-
mails, both of whom scored 20 points
against the Packers. Cleveland beat
Green Bay, 27-24, while the Cardi-
nails lost only by one touchdown,
20-27. The Packers have, in fact.
given five opponents an average of
16 points game and in the Red
skins they will be meeting a foe
which has averaged % points a
game.
Prevailing odds, therefore, seem
somewhat silly, save for the fact
that this is a rabid Packer strong
hold and the home team always is
presumed to hold an edge anyway.
But with Sammy Baugh back in
perfect shape and Coach Flaherty
possessing a twinkle in his eye that
isn't often seen, we'd back the Red.
skins at even money. This is one
game they really want to win and
they haven't the slightest intention
of doing otherwise.

Wolverines Held Back

Special CORRESPONDENT of The Star

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 (N.A.NA.).
AS I understand Imperative T.
81 has just arrived from Ann Arbor,
Mich, by gondola, with full report
Michigan did not shut the gates
of mercy on Chicago last Saturday
when she nosed out the Maroons
by IS to O.
In other words, the barbecue was
not premeditated. Michigan pulled
her punches all the way through,
going so far at one point as to call
for field goal on second down with
Chicaeo's end zone (the busiest
crossroads in America) just ahead.
Mr., Tom Harmon, the famous
Wolverine all-everything was just
planning to retrieve a gold inlay
which he had dropped in the end
zone the last time he was there
when the signal-caller nudged him
in the ribs
You will kick field goal on this
play" said the quarterback
Il beg pardon?' said Mr.. Harmon,
startled
"A field goal With the foot.
Good for three points if successful"
Il know all about field goals" said
Mr.. Harmon coldly, but I was
thinking of making another touch
down this time. I want to recover
my gold inlay
Delays Moking Touchdown
For Three Minutes
"Coach's orders" said the signal
caller. I'VE will settle for so per
cent"
Thus it was that Mr.. Harmon, the
all-everything, had to wait three
minutes before he got into the end
zone again. Meanwhile he kicked
the field goal so tactfully requested
by Herbert Orin Crisler. through
whose veins the milk of human
kindness trickles, in lieu of the more
conventional hemoglobin.
Even so. Michigan Settered par
for the course. Par is 81, established

In scoring IS points, Michigan also
stepped up the beat of her famous
old point minute teams of the
nrSt ten years OF the century. Ac-
cording to my figures IS points is
nearly point-and-a half a minute.
And the Wolverines were pulling
their punches, at that.
1t was not always thus with the
mild men of the midway, the foot
ball players of the University of
Chicago. The time was when these
fellows were sometimes accused of
shutting the gates of mercy them
selves. Before the amateur disease
bit them, and culture reared its ugly
head on the loop, Chicago was a
killer. The records show that she
punished Monmouth College by a
score of l08 to in l03. AS recently
as 1919, old man Stagg looked the
other way while his murderers
whaled Great Lakes by 122 to O..
