Iowa Keyed
.ForsMinnesotd

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-Every so
often, the Hawkeyes of Iowa toss
a bombshell into the Big Ten
football picture and today they
were keyed for just such an effort
in their Dads Day game with
Minnesota's mighty Gophers.
The Hawkeyes are coming
Their victories over Indiana and
Illinois showed that. Few follow
ers of football believe they have
come far enough to derail the
Gopher locomotive, but that very
thing happened the last time Min
nesota played at Iowa City two
years ago. 1t also happened the
last time the Gophers participated
in an Iowa Dads, Day, in 1929.
Cheering on the Hawks in their
effort will be not only a near
capacity Iowa Stadium crowd, but
Michigan and Ohio State fans as
well. The Wolverines and Buck
eyes would retain their chance for
the Big Ten title If Iowa should
upset the Gophers.
COUNT ON FARMER
Iowa, giving away "a pounds to
the man in the line and being shy
on reserve forwards, will stake
her chances on the passing ability
of young Tom Farmer, just as the
Hawks of 1889 depended on the
tossing of Nile Kinnick. Farmer
showed the form expected of him
for-the first time against Illinois.
Little Bud Higgins, hero of the
N e raska and Northwestern
games, will start at left half for
Minnesota. but Capt. Bruce Smith
was reported to be ready for ac-
ton again after being sidelined
for two weeks with injuries.
Offensive power will run up
against defensive strength when
Wisconsin and Purdue clash at
Madison. Both teams have a 500
rating in conference play and
hence are tied for fifth. The
Badgers have been given a Sigh,
pre-game edge because they are
the most prolific scorers In the
Big Ten, but Purdue's defensive
rating. second only to that Of
Minnesota, kept the odds nearly
even.
Ohio State was heavy favoritt

Makes Sam Run
r Formation Transforms Bartholomew Of Eagles
From Blocking Back TO Ground-Gainer
By CLAYTON HEPLER

Those fans who are introduced
to the "T'' formation in football
for the first time tomorrow when
the Philadelphia Eagles meet the
Detroit Lions at Briggs Stadium
may be little puzzled by it all.
But they won't be any more
puzzled than Earle Greasy
Neale, Eagles coach, who is using
the system for the first time this
year. Convinced that his team
wouldn't be shut out, he saw his
charges whitewashed twice by the
New York Giants.
Since that time the Philadelphia
club has not been shut out, and
the outstanding reason for this
reversal in form is found in the
person of Sam Bartholomew, for
mer fullback at Tennessee, who
never once advanced the ball
while in collegiate competition.
STAR BLOCKING BACK
Bartholomew earned his reputa-
ton as a blocking back. receiving
recognition as the South's out
standing blocker for two years.
The only time he had the ball in
his hands came when he inter-
copied a pass, and he was downed
in his tracks.
How he has become one of the
best Eagle ball carriers is just
one of those amazing things that
seem to result from the ct" for
nation. 1t was his training as a
blocker that made him success

Giants Neale reasoned this way:
The reason the attack wasn't
clicking was that the ball car
riers were just about half a ster
late going into the line. With
the EFT" formation there are nc
blockers leading the way, anC
everything depends upon lightning
thrusts into quick-opening line
STUDIES PICTURES
Why were the backs just Q
fraction of a second late?
Neale studied pictures Of the
game and discovered that all Of
his backfield men, trained to fol.
low interference under Notrt
Dame, Minnesota and other sys.
TENS, were taking a half step back
each time they received the ball
1t was an unconscious habit de-
veloped from years of waiting fol

had been the interference. So il
was no trick at all for him tc

as they were opened and become

THE LINEUPs


(Mich. Statel Umpire-HowArd Poe mich

(Purdue).
With a chance TO make up for
its early season reverses with one
bold stroke, Wayne University's
football team will attempt TO
topple a highly-favored and UNI
beaten Western Michigan eleven
at Keyworth Stadium at ? o'clock
today.
A record crowd is expected with
rival collegiate squads, Michigan
and University of Detroit, playing
away contests.
Highly successful in its rivalry
with the Broncis in recent years.
the Greenshirts will be trying for
their third straight triumph over
the Kalamazoo eleven. Two years
ago the Tartars triumphed TO on
the same Keyworth gridiron. and
last season won 1876.
LAST FOR sIx
1t will be the last home appear
ance in Tartar grid raiment for
six players who have twice con-
tributed TO Bronco defeats. Fore
most in this group are Capt.
Ed Larimore. guard. and Jerry
Schneider, fullback. Ed McMullin
and Carl Macy. backs, and Tom
Callard. guard, and Ralph Betker,
tackle. will also be bowling out.
Schneider. who this season has
failed to reach the form of past
years. is expected to come in for
the most attention from the Bron-
cos. Two years ago the big-triple-
threat back not only scored against
Coach Mitchell (Mike) Gary's
eleven but also kicked the extra
point that provided the margin of
victory.
With six straight victories under
its belt, Western will attempt TO
continue in the select group OF the
nations unbeaten elevens. Gary
switched to the old Information
when the season opened and West
ern has been cutting wide swath
in grid circles since.
