cause the plateaus and gulleys-

Still further back is q long
series of camps, or "leaguers,'

make it quite an exclusive taffy-
pull for Alsab and Shut Out.
For, while the other three or
four will be shooting at that
more than $4,000 pay-check,
too, They're all just guys nam
ed Joe in comparison, on form,
with AL Sabath's Chicago champ
and the son of EqulpOiSe who
won the Kentucky Derby for
Mrs. Payne Whitney.
The winner will have stran-
glehold on the championship #
the three yeal olds. Shut Out
grabbed the Derby by a couple
of lengths because the Sab's
stretch rush wasn't long enough
to catch him A week later, on
May Q, Alsab turned it loose at
Pimlico and rushed right by the
whole crowd TO win the Freak
ness, while Shut Out got himself
tangled up in the pack, and fin
ished fifth.
With the rest o. the top con-
tenders for the years honors
laid up with leg injuries, AlSab

The players swung briskly

Bachman's only gu estion
about weighty, powerful Wash

The Mount Clemens High
school Bathers will wind up
their 1912 football season to-
morrow afternoon at Hazel Park
in a n0n-Border Cities League
game. The kickoff is slated f0r
$3.50 p. m.
The Bathers, with the same
lineup that swamped Monroe
last Friday, are expected to pick
up q victory against Hazel Park,
but the game promises to be q
tough one. The fact that Coach
Ernest Buckholz has named
Lyle Bliss to . starting berth al
halfback indicates that the snap.
py aerial offensive will be en-
phasized. Mount Clemens ended
up fourth in the league this
year, but inasmuch as nearly ev-
cry outstanding player on the
squad will be back next year, the
Bathers will put a team hard ia
beat on the field in 1943. This
fact is considerably dampened
by the knowledge that no league
championships will be at stake
until the end of the Transports
ton crisis.

what is the sum of seven and

The gridder thought hard and
responded, Twelve. Just
then the football coach broke in,
Jaw, let him pass, Dean He only

brings this up is a report from
Akron, o., about a high school
coach who sent in one sub dur
ing hot game and took out two
players He didn't discov-
er the error until two plays had
been run and when he finally
sent in the eleventh man, his
team was penalized for taking
too many times out In this
connection, Jim Schlemmer of

out that Coach Rosy Starn of

BY HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 - up -
All those dire predictions of Sc
cond rate football early this Fall
because various conferences and
independent elevens augmented
their slender supply of gridiron
talent by use of Freshmen aren't
borne cut in survey made by
the Associated Press.
Taking 20 of the schools in the
informal Eastern sector, the
southeast and the Rocky Noun
tain's Big Seven conferences
where the yearlings this season
have equal playing rights with
upper classmen, it was discover
ed that the 1912 elevens are
stronger on offense and weaker
on defense than those same
teams were a year ago.
AS a double check, a similar
survey was made of the games
played this season and last by
Big Ten, Pacific Coast and
Southwestern Conference Clubs,
which do not use Freshmen.
The 20 teams which now use
Freshmen participated in 113
games before Nov. last year
with an average score of II to 8.
This season the same clubs had
competed in 100 contests as they
turned into November, with the
average score 10 to IL.
A year ago the Big Ten, Pa
cific Coast and Southwest men,
bers had blocked and tackled
their way to 1872 decisions with
the average score II to IL. This
Fall in 154 games, the mean has
been Is to 10.
Every kid likes to run with
the ball and it doesn't take much
coaching to show him how to do
it correctly" said Columbia
Coach Lou Little in discussing
Freshmen footballers, "but it is
different when it comes to de-
fense."
His reasoning probably ex-
plains the increase in offense
and the weaker defenses of the
Freshman-using tie ms but
there was no immediate expla-
nation for the slump in scoring
and the corresponding tighter
defenses of the non-Frosh clubs
as compared to their 1941 rec
ords.
