Fortune Fovors Gophers
In Greet Streak

This season Minnesota stepped into
one of the toughest schedules of the
year. I'd say the toughest.
The Gophers barely scrambled by
Washington and I happen to know
that both Jimmy Phelan and Wash
ington thought they should have
won-with 3 per cent of the breaks.
Ohio State had two easy chances
to beat Minnesota and blew both,
which is nothing to Buckeye credit.
An intricate play called in the rain
for a 1-yard touchdown wasted one
of them.
One point after touchdown for
Northwestern would have tied Min
nesota. Two points after touchdown
would have won. The point after
touchdown is the cheap concession
from the Rules Committee to the
crowd-not to the good Of football.
In the Michigan game the VOL
verines were all over the Gophers-
something like Is first downs to 5.
Michigan that day was the better
team on the field. But Minnesota
won on a single play.
Yet, I still say Minnesota has
turned in the best job of the year,
barring nobody, when you look at
the Gopher schedule. Yet, without
the breaks, Minnesota could easily
have lost at least three ball games.
Maybe four.

Winners Don't Always
Make the Breaks

The forward pass came along in
1906. That was "a years ago. -Four
years later, some 80 years ago, 1
happened to be with Hurry-up Yost
of Michigan and Bill Hanna, one of
the star football writer's who was
a veteran when Frank Hinkey was
a freshman at Yale.
This is a new game" YoSt told
us. I've found at Michigan we can
beat the second team by 7 touch
downs on Tuesday and fail to score
on Wednesday. Passes and plays
click one day. They don't the next.
It's all different"
That was 80 years ago. But Yost
saw what was coming-a better
game for the player. a far better
game for the crowd, but no longer
a game for past performance nor
for accepted form. Yost at that time
saw ahead how many better foot
ball teams were going to be beaten
by underdogs, by minor teams.
1t was even truer last Saturday
than it was 3 years ago. Breaks
breaks-breaks. They'll tell you the
winners make the breaks. You can
ordinarily chuck that one out the
window. 1t doesn't even rhyme. But
it has a pleasing sound.

The
SPoRTL.IGHT
Luck Is Telling Factor
On Grid, Coaches Agree
By GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 (N.A.N MAJ
It must be remembered, in your re-
manning representations and your
selections, that while American foot
vented when it comes to mixture
of spirit and skill, to condition, to
player interest and to crowd excite
ment, it still is an unbalanced game
in the way of just rewards.
The better team does not always
win-not by so kilometers. I have
talked this season with over 20 lead
ing coaches about this phase of
football and they all agree They
admit that you can outplay another
team badly-along the ground and
through the air-and still lose the
ball game.
I've located over 40 teams this
season who have made more yards
along the ground and through the
air and have had the better kicking,
and still have lost. When two good
teams meet the breaks almost
always carry the winning story.
Which means the flip of a coin.
But it is stupid to say always that
"the better team Won" It is often
truer to say The lucky team won.
And most coaches know this.

Government Subsidy

Economic Floor Neur
Subsistence Level
Stressed by Johnson
Sy the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
ATLANTA, April 5.-Holgar j.
johnson Of New York, president OF
the Institute of Life Insurance, de-
clared today that "the price of Gov
ernment subsidy eventually calls for
the sacrifice of personal liberty"
"One Of the most important ques-
tions for the American people to de-
eide in the coming decade is whether
they shall provide security for them
selves through continued individual
thrift and initiative or whether they
shall look more and more to the
Government for support" he as
serted, in an address prepared for
the midyear meeting Of the National
Association of Life Underwriters.
Government cannot support all
the people because it does not
create wealth but consumes the
wealth which the people produce"
he said, land therefore the economic
floor provided by Government sub
sidy should not be built too high
above the subsistence level"
I'VE have heard too many times
that a sizeable portion of our popu-
lation will never be able to find work
again; too many demagogues have
made political capital of the eco
nomic misfortune of few.
THE propounding Of such a phil
osophy of hopelessness has a fatal
lure, it is easy to believe. But let
us not forget that this is still the
nation of greatest opportunity and
that we must provide all the security
for ourselves that we can If we are
to retain our individual freedom and
democracy"
Mr.. johnson announced that
within two weeks the Institute of
Life Insurance, which is composed
of SO companies, would start an
educational advertising campaign,
with weekly advertisements through
1910 appearing exclusively in news
papers.

vide an effective medium for reach
ing a large number of people, neces-
sary In our case because life in
surance, with its policyholders and
benehciaries, directly affects about
100, 900 900 persons in this country.
The great American jury gets the
