Co-Coach Luke Johnsos of the

its successful use was just about

We didn't have a kicker strong

when we got it there they were

spark.
Lending a hand are some young
sters with only some eight or ten
years in the game.
McCracken stepped into indie
pendent basketball Ii 1885, fresh
out of Maryville, Mo-, teachers
suit. He played on Denver A.A. U.
title teams of 1897, 1899 and 1912,
then guided the Bartlesville, Okla,
Phillips 6 to the championship
last season.
Six-foos, eight-inch Gruenig broke
into A.AU. basketball right after
high school,, won his first ALL
America designation in 1887, re-
peated every year since except in
1941.
Hyatt was darting forward for
the Tulsa Diamond Oiler champs
of 1888 and 1884. Most of his time
since has been spent with the Phil
lips team as mana ger-player or
player-coach.
Leuty has been the push behind
many Denver and Colorado Springs
independent-amate teams since
his college days.

came in from the side and booted
1T off the side of his foot. The
Bear forwards charged after the
bounding pigskin.
The rulebook says the ball must
travel at least 10 yards before
the kicking team may recover it,
unless it is touched by the oppo-
sition. Musso's effort was poor
and went about seven yards, but
and then fumbled, and the Bears
recovered
1t was hardly according to plan,
but the result was the same.
The Bears forthwith went on an
other touchdown march interrupted
by half dozen penalties which
wasted considerable time wanted
badly by the Redskins. And by
the time the Bears were over the
goal line and were leading, Al tc
IA, there were only three minutes
left-time enough for the Redskins
to make one more touchdown but
nothing else
The Phil-Pitt Eagles made use
of the on-side kickoff on eight OF
E7ne occasions during the season
and it worked about third of the
time. The Chicago Cardinals were
victims of one which started the
Eagles on touchdown march.
