CAGING SEASON TO OPEN FRIDAY Four Adams County High School Teams To Be Seen In Action This Week The 1927-2 S basketball season will be offi.ially inaugurated in Adams county next Friday night, with four Adams county high school quintets in action. The Hartford township high school Gorillas got away to a flying start last Saturday night, by defeating the Rockcreek Dodgers, of Wells county, 27-24. The games scheduled for Friday night are: Jefferson at Berne; Kirkland at Chester Center; and Hartford at Petroleum. The Kirkland Kangaroos have been hard at work tinder Coach Bill Bryan for the last few weeks and followers of the school are expecting great things from the team this year. Coach Bryan has a big bunch of veterans back this year, in addition to Bowman, the big center from Lancaster, who is attending the Kirkland school this year. The Kangaroos have a gymnasium of their own this year for the first time and the advantage of regular practice every day is expected to work wonders with the Kirkland quintet. The Hartford Gorillas appear to bt a strong outfit this year. Coach Windmiller also has a bunch of veterans back this year, including Hoffman, the big center, and the Bantei brothers, guards. Although he lost his two regular forwards last year. Heller and Holloway are coming fast and are expected to make a good pail of basket shooters before the end of the season. Berne lost several regulars last spring through graduation, but material appears to be plentiful in the Fighting Five stronghold and a strong team is in prospect. Geneva has several veterans left from last year and should have a good team this fall, in spite of the fact that the team wi’l have only one practice night each week, and that at Berne. Jefferson is working under the same handicap as Hartford and Geneva, getting only one practice each week. Monroe will use the Decatur high school gym for practice and for the home games. Coach Steve Everhart's outfit will workout in the O. H. S., gym every Wednesday night, and play home games here when the Yellow Jackets are away from home. Monroe will open her season on November 4. at Polingtown. Geneva will open up on the same date, at Berne. The Decatur Catholic high Commodores will get into action with Geneva on November 11, in the D. C. H. S. gym. The Decatur Yellow Jackets will be the last of the county teams to start the season. They are scheduled to play their first game with Kirkland here on November 18. o Ossian Basketball Schedule Announced Coach Ferguson of Ossian, has mapped out a stiff basketball schedule foi the Bears this year. They start the season Saturday night against Burnettsville high and meet practically all of the Wells county teams. The Bears had a great team last year and have four regulars back this season, so it seems certain they will cause some worry in basketball circles. The schedule as announced last night is as follows: Oct. 29—Burnettsville, at Ossian. Nov. 4—Montpelier at Montpelier. Nov. 11—Andrews at Ossian. Nov. 18—Petroleum at Petroleum. Nov. 25—Lancaster at Ossian. Dec. 2—Freemont at Freemont. Dec. 9—Chester at Ossian. Dec. 16—Rockcreek at Rockcreek.* Dee. 23—Freemont at Ossian. Jan. 6—Chester at Chester. Jan. 7—Liberty Center at Ossian. Jan. 13 —Berne at Ossian. Jan. 20—Lancaster at Lancaster. Jan. 27 —Open. Feb. 3—Open. Feb. 17 —Open. Feb. 18—Rockcreek at Ossian. Feb. 24 —Petroleum at Ossian. o Bloomington, Ind.—The entire Indiana squad is confident of beating Harvard Saturday. Added confidence was given the team with the announcement that Bob Matthews, guard, injured in the Minnesota game, is recovering rapidly and probably will be able to play.

Minneapolis, Minn. — Coach Doc Spears apparently is satisfied with the work of Walsh at end for Minnesota. He continues to play the former guard at that position. The varsity is still handicapped by injuries.

J WESTERN TEAMS ROLE GRIDIRONS )l Bij? Intersectional Gaines On Schedule For Saturday Hold Interest New York. Oct. 26.—(INS)—West>rn football, which has been in the i iscendancy since Knuto Rockne be- ), -an building his all powerful teams ; >t Notre Dame, is making a stronger i end more determined effort this year I- ban ever before to demonstrate that t' t lias at last gained the upperhanil t md has become the ruler of the football world for the time being at t 'east. Despite the fact that the East holds i i slight, edge in the inter-sectional battles that already have been play- ; >d this season, the three big contests n which the east, the south and the nidfle west will) have distinctive t >arts on Saturday may see the east■rn advantage wiped out and the west aking what it believes to be its rightill place in the domination of the game. As between the south and the west >ll questions of superiority for this teason should be settled by he Notre > Dame-Georgia Tech battle at South i .Tend while the Missouri Valley con- . 'i rence school of football, which , holds itself as a separate entity in > he western game, will come into ac- . ‘ion for the first time this season vhen the powerful Syracuse eleven ackies the University of Nebraska t Lincoln. Then to top off this day if high light intersectional contests. Harvard will play host to the Indiana ‘earn at Cambridge. Anyone who believes that Notre Dame will have an easy going against Georgia Tech should take pains to ■evise his opinion, for not since the lays when Johnny Heisman and his 'amous Golden Tornado, has Georgia Tech played such football as it has exhibited thia season. The southern?rs have not matched strength with my eleven out of their own bailiwick but what they did to the famms Crimson tide of the University if Alabama a short ten days ago made history below the Mason and Dixon line. Notre Dame with the great Christy vianagan and the almost equally Teat Niemic, has another of its •vdonic backfields which) strikes with sodden fury and always appears o have something in reserve for an •mergenev. That, at least, was the mpression Notre Dame gave against Navy. But last season Notre Dame. >von with Flanagan on the field of battle, was able to defeat Georgia Tech only I’2 to 0 and Georgia was many touchdowns short of being the ‘earn that it is today. More attention probably will be drawn to the Harvard-Indiana frav than the battle between Nebraska ind Syracuse, though insofar as the quality of football is , concerned the struggle in the home city of the late great commoner will undoubtedly be f ar more interesting and instructive han the one in the stadium at Cambridge. Both Syracuse and Ne- > braska have been defeated in their I respective sectiorV but neither is ar removed from being ranked right ■ up with the leaders. Despite the cuffings it has received frofn Purdue and Dartmouth, Hari vard should be able to outplay Indi- , ma. Harvard has not played impres--1 -ive football this year, but like the s Crimsen in 1926 it is the sort of an j eleven that may be expected to hit its real stride against Indiana and if it does, there is no doubt that Ar- > nold Horween will be more than justified by the confidence be has placj ed in this combination, 1 0 Bluffton Seeks Sectional High School Tournament Bluffton, Oct. 26. —Principal D. F. Mitzner, today extended to A. L. Trester, head of the I. H. S. A. A., an invitation for the sectional basketball j tournament to be held in this city, > next spring. The tourney, if held in this city, will be in the community buPding. Bluffton did not ask for the regionj al tournament, due to being unable to handle the large crowd which would without a doubt attend. The regional , tourney will probably go to Fort i Wayne again this year. o — i- ;. Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays

New York University Huddle-Shift Problem For Colgate This Saturday • ,W IJy g()I< TWO grout tenms will meet on Saturday in New York-New >ork I niverHty ami Colgate Emit possesses a shift, but the combination huddle-shift perfected by t hick Meehan, N. Y. U. coach. Is such u sinootn working affair with ro much power back of it that it would likkoß be a feather hi the Ivadgear of George Hauser, the Co’gate mentor, if he solves it. LINE 12 3 ‘ ®®O© I CHICK MEEHAti'4 I JU \NEW YOQK UHIV. \ WR ) HUDDLE - 4>HI F 4 f A « •Stpl trypr- u <r UAL HUOOLt ) The purpose of the shift, as of.cn stated, is to outflank the opposition > as well as to get plays off so rapidly that you not only get the jump on the defense in charging but likewise give them no time to figure out what is 1 coming. The idea of the huddle is to give signals in a group, unheard by i' the opponents, so the cheering will not interfere, and. when necessary, to confer on the play. A lineman can often advise a quarterback to good purpose concerning the point, to aim a play. Incidentally Ixith the shift and huddle are now on a time allowance. Chick's scheme takes care of every t situation perfectly. His line men huddle by standing about 2% yards from the line of scrimmage, bending over, with their backs to the line. They are in perfect alignment. exactly parallel to the scrimmage Pne. The four backs are some two yards further back, in perfect alignment but facing both the line and the line of scrimmage. On a signal the line pivots either to right or left, takes one more step, jumps into position and then charges, the backs, of course following to their positions. The whole move is timed to the count of 1-2-3-4. Four is the charging number, although many plays are held for addit’onal intervals. It is a perfect, smooth running, precise move. Last year Connor, a back, broke from it for a 65 yard touchdown run against Rutgers, using his famous spin. As Connor will be in the game Saturday let's look at this plav 1 and his spin in tomorrow's release. Copyright, 1927, Pub'ishers Syndicate
