NEW YORK. Oct 15.-The ivy

ready to stick to their amateur

Christian Gauss, chairman of
Princeton's athletic council, wouldn' t

the subject was not entirely new at
Princeton. The subject already is
being considered by Princeton's
council, he explained, and no state
ment will be made until its study is
completed.
Dartmouth's Bill McCarter urged
the Ivy members to band to-
gether for the greater glory of de-
emphasized football.
Said McCarter, If the original
hackers of the college game hold
together in competition they can
do more for intercollegiate football
than any sectional or national Or
ganization.
That was just about what Miller
said Yale was aiming to do at a
time when college athletics and
even school athletics are at criti-
cal stage"
Yale, he explains, plans to carry
on with material that comes its way
naturally, taking lean seasons with
fat ones, retrenching financially if
necessary.

By BURTON HAWKINS.

An apparently uncomfortable itch
to hurl his 195-pound frame into
whatever anatomy looms before him
is decreasing the value of Center
Mike Monchlovich to George WASH
ington University's football team.
His love of blocking has become so
intense it may cost him his job
unless he learns to moderate his
mayhem.
Ordinarily a coach will cherish a
performer who is willing to serve as
a scythe, but Monchlovich seems to
be carrying the idea to extremes.
He is so eager to block that he's
forgetting his first duty is to swish
an accurate flip to the backfield.
Twice Proved Costly.
Mikes overzealous tendency twice
harmed the Colonials in their 20-14
victory over Washington and Lee
last week. In his anxiety to create
a sizeable gap for the ball carrier
he neglected to snap the ball prop
erly, which led to costly fumbles.
Early in the first period the
Colonials marched to the Generals
7-yard line, but that drive was
checked when Monchlovich hit Ken
Batson in the shoulder with his
snap from center, Washington and
Lee recovering the tumble and punt
ing out of immediate danger.
1t happened again after the
Colonials battled back to the 81
yard line. Mikes pass from center
to Tom Grady was inaccurate and
again the Generals recovered to
stymie G. WIS touchdown threat.
Coach Bill Reinhart rushed Don
Seiberft, Monchlovich's understudy,
into action and he performed
admirably enough to jeopardize
Mikes job.
Mikes tendency to get out and
block before attending to the more
important matter of swapping an &C
curate pass is his only shortcom-
ing. He is brilliant defensively,
spirited and untiring, but unless he
curbs his blocking, or at least in

The Browns were allocated IA

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Oct. 15-The
football faithful of the University of
Illinois are getting just bit weary
of all this talk about another Red
Grange"
They'd like it understood for once
and all that there was only one mo.
II" and that there never will be
another.
Michigans swivel-hipped Tommy
Harmon. who meets the Illlnl Sat-
urday at Ann Arbor, is the latest to
be tagged another Grange" and
the Illinois hackers who saw the
original gallop through weak and
strong opposition Is years ago don't
like it bit.
But the Illinois coaches doubtless
are tickled to death by all these
comparisons. An inspired Illinois
eleven handed Michigan stunning
defeat last season, Bob Zuppke's
boys smearing Harmon all over the
field with a frenzied zeal. That
was their answer to the comparisons
to their immortal hero.
The inspiration fer that brilliant
afternoons work came from the
sports writer's, Doug Mills, backfield
coach under Zuppke, recently re-
vealed.
The sports writer's set up bet
ter defense against Harmon and
Michigan than we ever could have,
Mills told a luncheon group in Chi
cago They kept writing that Har-
mon was going to avenge those field
days Grange used to have at Michi-
gan's expense.
THAT was just like waving red
flag at a bull. Illinois people don't
want any comparisons with Grange
made at all. So the boys read the
newspapers and that was about all
they needed to do to be ready for
Harmon and his mates"
Possibly it will be different story

of its two games already played,
appears considerably stronger than
