sofas football giants of the North
are healthy lot-but not so healthy
as they could be as far as gridiron
ability is concerned.
That's exactly the way Coach
Bernie Bierman wants 1t. too, and
that, if anything, will be the reason
why Minnesota may push itself
back to the top of the football pow
ers of the Nation this fall.
Room for Improvement"
While Minnesota has romped
though Washington, Nebraska, Ohio
State and Iowa so far this season,
they have not yet reached peak in
performance, Coach Bierman be-
lieves. The Gopher coach said to-
day, There still Is room for i'm

squad has been getting better from
game to game.
Were going to have to be better
against Northwestern at Evanston
Saturday, too," Bierman said, "and
whether we can get that added i'm
provement this week remains to be
seen"
Bierman has been talking the
same way after each game so far
this season, and he is hoping he can
look for that added improvement
right straight through to the end
of the season.

continue to snatch the major por-
ton of scoring honors among local

Doolan scored a touchdown yes

Todd Leading Scorer,
Team PAGES Three
Phases OF Attack
Skins Scoring Average
Slumps, but Gait Still
Is Record Breaking

Undisputed assumption of the Ma
tional Football Leagues individual
scoring lead by the Redskins Dick
Todd and the pace-setting Of his
mates in three offensive depart
ments are revealed by official fig
ures released today.
Todd's game winning touchdown
in the fourth period at Detroit Sum-
day gave him a total of Sc points,
3 more than the Giants Ward Cuff,
who is second. Todd is credited
with 6 touchdowns, or an average
of one a game, while 81 of Cuff S
points are due to conversions or
field goals Jimmy Johnston, Carl
Mulleneaux of Green Bay and Don
Looney of Philadelphia all have
touchdowns.
While the Redskins scoring aver
age "slumped" to 278 points per
game, they still are travelling at a
record breaking gait which, if main
tanned, would see them eclipse the
Chicago Bears all-time mark of 298
points for an 11-game season, COM
piled last year. Indeed, the Red
skins have a chance to exceed the
308 points which the Giants scored
in 1927-in II games.
Washington's gridmen still hold
their lead also in ground gaining
and passing Their 1863 yards
gained is AZ more than the cham
pion Green Bay Packers have put
behind them in the same number Of
games and more than 300 more
than the reputedly big, bad Bears.
And while the Redskins passing
average also slipped" nearly 4
points to SO per cent, that figure
still is ahead of the mark they COM
piled last year when they set
new ail-time high for passing eff
cheney.
Defensively, Detroit and New
York are the best-the former be-
cause it has allowed less points by
opponents and the Giants because
they have yielded less yardage.

Mike Kaplan bounced into leading

chase with a clean-cut decision over
Chicago's Milt Aron and the asser-

pion Fritzie Zivic "at any time"
With Zivc looking on from the

Weighing 145 to Aron's i49 Kaplan
kept boring in and scored often with
a left jab and right cross.
He cut Aron's chin in the fourth,
opened a cut over the eyebrow in
the fifth, and in the eighth knocked
the Chicagoan down for a two

Altogether Kaplan won eight
rounds, Aron one (the fourtO with
one (the SIXTH even.
In his dressing room Kaplan said
he was ready to fight Zivc "at any

rounds if necessary. Only in the
fourth did he hurt me. Then he hit

Football tactical problem of the
week as solved by local experts:
The question: Team A Is leading
1877, with 10 seconds to go after ball
is put in play following time out
Ball is in its possession on own 30
with 2 yards to go for first down.
Should quarterback call a pass ana
take chance of interception, should
he kick and take chance of blocked
kick by desperate Team B or a
runback of the punt, or should he
try to pick up the two yards by
rushing, knowing that if he misses
Team B will have the ball on his 35?
This problem was presented to
local coaches at yesterdays meet
ing of the Football Writers Associa-
ton at Schneider's Cafe. Messrs.
Cassell of American U. and Reinhart
of George Washington agreed they
would have kicked, trying to place
the ball out of bounds. Bergman

Ry BURTON HAWKINS.

Easing to some extent the misery
George Washington University suf-
fers from the loss of Halfback Ken
Batson and possibly of Quarterback
Babich for its football fuss with
Wake Forest Friday night at Griffith
Stadium is the most heartening item
coming from Line Coach Gene
Shields since he has been affiliated
with the Colonials.
1t concerns the rapid improve
ment, unaccompanied by the spec
tacular, of End Johnny Picco. The
youngster has performed his chores
so admirably that Shields has
elected to plunge overheard for him
stamping his play against West Vir-
labor by an end he ever has viewed
'Picco isn't flashy," says Shields.
"He doesn't roam all over the field
searching for duties that aren't his.
He doesn't take acrobatic dives over
interference to make a tackle, or
perhaps miss it the next time, but
he handles his assignments flaw
lessly.
C0ach's Ideal Player.
HE plays where he's supposed to
play and does what he's supposed
to do" continues Gene. Hes not
the type to attract undue attention
from the fans, but from a coach's
standpoint he's an ideal performer. "
Praising Picco's work against the
MountaineerS as the cum laude of
end play is lofty lauding coming
from Shields, for at Oregon as a
player and nine years as a coach
Gene saw shining specimens Of flank
fineSSe.
At G.. w. the standard set by
chunky Bob Nowaskey, currently
with the Chicago Bears, generally is
regarded as the high-water mark
of Colonial end play, but if Picco
continues his unspectacular, but
proficient, toll he's apt to be tabled
an all-time G. w. wingman. A
tall, rangy junior, Johnny has an
other year with the Colonials.
Batson, who is likely to be out
for two weeks with a shoulder sep
aration, and Babich, suffering mus
Gle spasms in his leg, will be missed
badly against the DeaconS, who
own a trio of dangerous backs in
John Polanski, Tony Gallovich and
Red Mayberry.
Mayberry viii Be Ready.
PolanSki last year was the leading
scorer of the Nations major elevens
with 81 points, first in the Nation
in yards gained rushing and was
named on Golfers all-South team
with Bob Kellogg, Bob Foxx and
Banks McFadden.
The 6-foot 3-inch, 215-pound Po-
lanskis thunder this season has
been swiped thus far by Gallovich,
however, scoring Al points to Po-
lanski's 80. Mayberry, who has
been injured, will be ready for the
Colonials and it isn't comforting
to Coach Bill Reinhart.
Reinhart and Shields secuted
Wake Forest in action against Duke
and were impressed despite the Blue
Devils 23-0 victory. Wake Forest
held Duke to a field goal in the
first half before whiting in the a.
degree heat.

Redskins had won the next four
games with the Steelers, Dodgers,
Bears and Giants and faced their
final game, with the Eagles, with
an undefeated record for 10 games.
So after beating the Giants, you
called the rockies together, told 'em
that they were going to play every
minute of the last game and that
upon them lay the responsibility of
giving the Redskins their only per-
feet slate in history.
And you know what happened?
They were so eager to show what
they could do that they tore after
the Eagles like wild men and beat
EN-, 500, for the Redskins record
score of the year"
The only gloomy side of the Red
skin situation today was that VIII
bur Moore, the veteran wing back
of the second and fourth period
backfield, would be lost for period
of perhaps three weeks. X-rays
yesterday revealed Moore to have
a torn cartilage in his lower ribs.
His place will be taken by Boyd

Balancing the bad news was the
announcement that Ed Oucky Thir-

would be ready for the Bears here

Because Pittsburgh once kicked
away the Eastern championship
after needing only one victory in its
last three games, were not count
ing either the Redskins or the Bears
"in" as yet as 1910 divisional cham
pions of the National Football
League.
But there isn't much doubt, now,
that the Western and Eastern titles
will be decided no later than next
Sunday and the week following by
the Bear-Packer game at Chicago
and the Redskin- -Dodger game at
Brooklyn. They're practically the
sole contenders left, the Packers
and the Dodgers, and If the present
pace-setters get by them, it'll be
all over but the playof arrange
ments.
The Giants, the only other East
ern team with a chance to catch
the Redskins, still must play Brook
lyn twice and one or the other will
be eliminated in the hand-to-hand
battling. If they split in their home
and-home series, both would be
eliminated even If they won all the
rest, for it would be the third loss
for each and it doesn't stand to
reason that the Redskins will lose
that many.
Redskins Foil Pittsburgh.
We don't think the Redskins are
cocky or need to be Debated, but
It would be timely to point out to
them that they, themselves, nosed
out Pittsburgh for the 1886 Eastern
title when the Pirates were nearly
as close TO the sectional goal as the
Redskins are today.
After the first nine games of that
year (they played II them, Pitts
burgh had a won-and-loSt record
of and 3, compared to the Red
skins sub 500 percentage of and 5.
Yet the only combination Of events
that would help the Indians oc-
curred-the Pirates losing their last
three and the Redskins winning
theirs, walloping the Pittsburgh club,
800, in the latter's final game.
Like talking to a pitcher in the
