“PINK” GRANGE NOW AN IDOL Brother Os Famous “Red” Grange Wins Praise On Illinois Campus Urbana, 111., Nov. I—(UP)—The University of Illinois campus again resounds with praise of a red-headed football p'.ayer named Grange. This time the praise is for Garland ‘‘Pink” Grange, brother of Harold, who starred with Illinois for three yeas and then, under the direction of C, C. Pyle, turned his football fame into dollars. The younger Grange’s alertness and fleetness played an important part in Illinois' defeat of Michigan last Saturday. "Pink" caught the opening kickoff, and carried it nut 20 yards. In 1923 "Red" ran Michigan’s opening kickoff down the field for a touchdown. Pinky was down under a punt which Puckelwartz of Michigan fumbled in the second quarter, and fell on it on the Wolverines seven yard line. This paved the way for a touchdown. He snagged passes, he blocked a punt, and playing in the backfield on defensK he smashed play after play as he backed up the line. I “Pinky" plays end where "Red" played halfback, and therefore has , net quite so much opportunity to shine. Where his brother Harold I was flashy. Garland Is workmanlike. ; Where "Red' was mainly an offensive threat. "Pinky" is a valuable man on defense. —,_i o_ Northeastern Indiana Conference Standing W L T Pct.

—— “History Repeats” Is Colgate Cry As It Prepares for Orange Battle By SOL METZGER IF history is to repeat itself when Colgate and Syracuse meet in their timehonored gam" Saturday a week the Syracuse eleven is in for a bad afternoon in the second half. Last season Colgate, the surprise team that tied Bfown and had th.? Navy licked, only to fumble on the Navy’s 1-yard line and see the Navy score on the fumble, dame into the second half of the Syracuse tontest 10 points to the bad.

Note the line up before the shift takes place. The signal is called for No. 5 inside tackle, though he is on end. But the shift brings him into the backfield Fortunately for Colgate, the Syracuse left tackle failed to shift. That permitted the men on the line to account for him and left the two bheks free to take the Syracuse backs, the third taking out the end by side-swip-ing him, an effective method- Shaunessey carried the ball over. Had the Syracuse left tackle shifted out to meet the if ay the .Colgate backs would have been employed more with him and the play stopped. All Ihe more reason to suppose that Syracuse’s line will be more .on the job meeting shifts this year. Having a score result, from failure to do so in the big game of the season makes a team stress the correction next year. Possibly Syracuse wi.l go- back to some of its , old stuff taught by “Buck” O’Neill, its former coach, to meet CoSgat.e. In 1917 “Buck” used a fine stunt to win many games for Syracuse. Let’s look, it up as it is well worth while, combining as it does the lateral and forward passes. "Buck” was away ahead of his time. Hiis play that scored on Rutgers and other teams will be shown tomorrow. Copyright, 1927, Publishers Syndicate

. WELL ROUNDED TEAMS EXCELL 1 ■* 1 Grid Teams Built About ’ Stars Often Crack; Big Ten “Weak Spots" Absent Chicago. Nov. 1. — (UP) — Well rounded football teams without ourl standing stars turn in more victories than e'evens built about star players. . it was evident today, as the 1927 season entered its last three weeks. , The teams coached by Bob Zuppke and Knute Rockne have demonstrated the success of team-work as opposed to offensives built around star play- , era. Replacements in Illinois and Notre Rame linups have showed substitutes playing as well as the men replaced. Without reserves capable of filling stars’ shoes, four big 10 teams have been tied or defeated this season Minnesota without Herb Joesting part of the game, was able to get out only a 14 to 14 tie with Indiana. Without “Tiny” Lewis, fullback, Waldo Fisher, end, or "Skeeter” Wyman, center. Northwestern, h ipotentia||Jy strong team was beaten by Illinois and Missouri on successive Saturdays. With Gilbert on the sidelines, Michigan helpless before Illinois. Purdue, with Capt. Cotton Wilcox on the sidelines, bowed to Chicago’s

team strength. While both Illinois and Notre Dame! have stellar players, none stands head and shoulders above his mates. Reserve strength is present in plenty on both teams, and injuries are not serious handicaps because substitutes are ready to take up where regulars left off. Another conclusion drawn during

the present season is that the big 10 'and Missouri Valley conferences are i playing about the same caxiber cf football. Wisconsin andl Minnesota trounced Kansas and the Oklahftma Aggies, respectively. Northwestern and Chicago of the big 10 bowed before Missouri and Oklahoma, while Illinois played a tie game with lowa State of Aines.

Another change in football status, is the absence of “soft spots" on western conference schedules. For many years Indiana, Purdue and Northwestern were considered "coasting" periods of the schedule- Any one of these schools today is capable of battling the first division leaders on almost even terms.
