California Offense Baffles Opponent r— jm tv.rj,,,- . J tt / j p> 1 t & E. ' \ H H ——— " By SOL METZGER "The science of offense." thinks | Dick Hanley, Northwestern football | mentor, "consists in keeping the other team, guessing”. California does it. For example, from her seini-punt formation you would naturally expect passes, punts and plays off tackle and around the end to be the main dependence. There is no mass of backs for plunging. But when an offensive line is grounded in sound fundamental play, no mass of hacks is needed to puncture the defense. Quick openings, rapid thrusts ahead of a hack who need not have to worry about getting the ball and can, in consequence, devote his entire attention to picking the best opening and eluding defensive backs, are all that seem necessary. So. just when you think the Golden Bears are set for a wide run or pass one of the halfbacks will catapult himself through the line. Such a play is diagrammed above. The quarter. No. 4. receives the ball from center and turns to his right, faking a pass to No. 3, who tars to the left. The quarter continues his pivot and jams the )>all into the belt line of back No. 2, who does not have to worry about getting it. He closes on it with both arms while driving ahead and centering his attention on the hole in order to break free for a gain of 5 yards or more. If lineman No. 5 j can get through in time to cut down i the defensive fullback the play goes fine. The hope is that this defensive back will be fooled by the fake of No. 3 and thus delayed in rushing to back up the point of attack. Tomorrow —California's kicking game, its soundest attack, will be described. Diet often stands between victory and defeat. You can’t expect to win at football by overeating and undersleeping. You must learn the value of regulation. Send stamped, addressed envelope, in care of this paper, and dequest Sol Metzger's leaflet on "Diet and Training for Football.” Watchin? The Scorehoard —(U.R)— Yesterday's hero: Max Bishop. Philadelphia Athletic infielder, whose home run in the ninth inning with the score tied gave the Philadlephia Athletics a 4 to 3 victory over the New York Yankees. A crowd of 40.000 saw the final game of the series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia j Athletics. It also was the Yankees' final appearance of the season at the stadium. New York scored first in the third inning, but the Athletics took a one run lead by scoring two runs in the fourth. The Yankees tied the score in the fifth and Philadelphia added a run in the seventh. In the eighth, Ehmke weakened, filling the bases and was replaced by Orwell. Lazzeri was walked on four straight balls, forcing in Koenig with the tying run. Bishop's homer off Waite Hoyt in the ninth decided the game. The Cincinnati Reds lost another one run game to the St. Louis Cardinals, 2to 1. It was the final appearance of the Cardinals in St. Louis and Alexander allowed seven hits. Donohue and Kolp gave only five, but three were bunched in the fourth inning, accounting for two runs. The hitting of Herman, Brooklyn outfielder, featured the Robins 6 to 1 victory over Philadelphia. Herman hit safely four times in five trips to the plate. The New York Giants’ double-head-er with the Boston Braves was postponed on account of rain. 4-H CLUB GIRLS EXHIBIT WORK (CONTINUED ON PAGE SEVEN) the free trip to Purdue, she having the best all around exhibit in the show.

Milwaukee-Minneapolis, wet grounds AWARDS MADE IN QUILT DISPLAY (CONTINUED FHOM PAGE ONE) merly the property of Mr. King’s grandmother, Mrs. Anna King. It was made in 1784. and consists of thousands of tiny blocks less than I one inch square, and closely quilted. The first prize in modern quilts I was awarded to Mrs. Catherine Chris- ! ten. It was pieced of green and white in a broken dish design and feather quilted. The second prize in this eient went to Mrs Emma Thompson, who displayed an attractive quilt pieced of various hued blocks, and made fifty years ago by 1 Miss Ellen Bowers. Some of the quilts an'd coverlets on display date back over a period of more than a hundred years, and are not only valued because of their antiquity, but are actually things of beauty. A beautiful modern quilt, made and quilted during the last few years by Mrs. Mary Woodward, was close in the race for position in the modern quilt awards. It is displayed on the foot of the bed in the modern bedroom. On the bed. is a beautiful yjuilt, with appliqued floral design in I the center which was made and piec- ' ed by the ladies of the Zion Luther•an church. This quilt is placed on . sale by the ladies at S2O and is well worth the price. The judging took place on Tuesday with Bernadette Keller Bosley, of Fort Wayne, acting as judge. The quilts display is open daily from 10 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the evening. Two members of the committee are on hand each day, to guard the display and answer any questions in connection with it.

The big plane struck a wire fence, crashed through it and across a narrow lane„ where it crashed into a rail fence. The impetuous of the plane carried it on through the rail fence and it skidded across the field, tearing a deep rut in the ground. About ten rods beyond the fence, the plane turned over and the wiugs buckled. Both fliers were rendered unconcious and did not regain consciousness until faint streaks of dawn could be seen in the east. They unstrapped themselves from their seats. Col Thaw crawled out of the wreckage and fell uncounscious again. Captain Morris crawled to the rail fence where he collapsed. He regained consciouness again a few minutes later and began calling for help. Mr. Wiest heard his cries while working at his barn about forty rods away, about 6 o’clock. A physician and ambulance were summoned. After a hurried examination of the injured men, the physician ordered an ambulance called and the Wells Brothers ambulance from Geneva brought them to the Adams County Memorial hospital in this city. Thaw Owned Plane Col. Thaw gained fame as an avia-

ter during the Wot Id War. He owned the big monoplane in which he and Capt. Morris were attempting to win the 'cross-country race. Col. Thaw’’ plane was referred to as a death trap, by race officials, before the start of the race yesterday. The great monoplane with its barrel body, was so constructed that Thaw's seat, hack of the pilot, placed him so that he would have practically no chance to jump I clear in case of accident. i Thaw was the biggest man in the race. He seemed little concerned however, as he made ready for the takeoff, and prepared to pump oil most of the way across the country in his cramped corner. Both men are married. After they had been brought to the hospital here, each dictated a telegram to be sent to their wives. Both minimized their injuries and Col. Thaw stated in his message, "Well, we didn't win the race.” In an interview with an InternationI al News Service reporter today, Mr. Wiest told of finding the injured fliers. He said (hat he had arisen shortly after 5 o'clock and was doing his morning chores. He said he heard faint cries, hut he paid no attention to them until he heard them repeated. Then he looked in the direction from whence the cries came and thought lie saw two cows in the alfalfa field. Hearing the cries again, Mr. Wiest ran toward the object* he had mistaken for cows and discovered the wrecked plane. "Water, give us water, for God's sake,” one of the men cried. Mr. Wiest saw one of the men leaning against the fence and the ether was lying on the ground near the plane. Mr. Wiest ran back to his house and arrounsed other members of his family. While Mrs. Wiest called an ambulance, Mr. Wiest and his four children ran to the injured fliers, taking water pillows and blankets. Neither -cf the men was bleeding, but both appeared to be suffering much. Col. Thaw was commander of the Lafayette squadron after it was taken over by the A. E. F. during the World war. Te is an ace, having five victories to his credit. He has been decorated with the French Croix de Gerre and the U. S. Distinguished Service Cross. Col. Thaw was reported killed three times during the world war.
