BIG TEN TEAMS APPEAR STRONG By Dixon Stewart UP Staff Correspondent Chicago, Sept. 21.—(U.PJ— First week of practice for the football aquaria of the Big Ten conference past, there appears little doubt lint that the 1928 season will see a more formidable art ay of teams than the season of 1927. At least six of the ten conference members seem stronger than last year and two others, Michigan and Minnesota, cannot be counted out of the running, if for no other reason than because they are coached by Fielding H. Yost and the veteran “Doc" Spears. It is entirely possible the dose of the season mas see considerable dispute over the title between undefeated teams. The "round robin” schedule adopted by the western conference board does not provide this seasson for games between several of the favored aspirants for the title. Illinois, with enough members of the 1927 championship “starless squad" back in its lineup to form two or three capable teams, is the preseason favorite for the championship. Coach Bol> Zuppke's chief problem probab'y will be overconfidence. Minnesota, despite the loss of 1 Joesting. Nyriahl and many other veterans, is building its 1928 eleven i around a nucleus of returning stars, but it appears unlikely that it will go through the season undefeated. Michigan is “singing the blues" more than any school in the conference. but the return of Fielding Yost to active coaching and the fact that the Wolverines always have a wealth of material casts some doubt on the sincerity of their fears. The Wolverines easily enough may lose enough games to finish in the second division. Ohio has strong title hopes because of the return of many veterans and reinforcements from the strongest freshman team in Ohio history. Buckeye fans believe the final game with Illinois will decide the 1928 < hampionship. Wisconsin also is depending large: ly upon sophomore material te fill in 1 its lineup with veterans of proven strength. Thistlethwaite’s team should win a majority of its contests. Another school depending on sophomores to raise its from the cellar is lowa. Mayes McClain, a 219-ponnd. I one-eighth blood Cherokee Indian full- | back, is the chief hope. Return of “Pest" Welch, one of the best backs in the conference, and an entire veteran line in addition to promising recruits gives rise to the first championship dreams Purdue has enjoyed in many years. Indiana seems clearly to have a stronger team than in 1927, but with so much strength in rival institutions hardly can be figured to finish out of the second division. If Indiana wins two games it can regard the season as fairly successful. Chicago's two conference schools. Northwestern and Chicago, appear likely to be the "weak sisters" of the organization. Both schools have satisfactory appearing backfield material but lack experienced ami beefy | forwards, the main requisite for a ■ strong team. Opening conference games are not scheduled until October 13, although a number of the Big Ten teams will swing into action a week from tomorrow against non-conference foes. Intersection! games will add color to the Big Ten schedule. Wisconsin clashes with Notre Dame and Alabama; Indiana plays Oklahoma; Michigan meets the Navy; Ohio op poses Princeton; Northwestern takes on Dartmouth and Chicago renews hostilities with Pennsylvania. 0 Watching The Scoreboard Yestet day's Hero —Francis Hogan, New York catcher, whose second home run of the day in the eighth inning with the bases loaded gave the giants a victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the final game of a doubleheader, 7 to 4. the Cardinals won the first game 8 to 5, Geo. go Harper, former Giant, led the attack n Larry Benton and Jack Scott with three home runs liafey, Co.ien and Hogan accounted for three homers. Sherdel was credited with the victory although the Giants colected eleven safeties, in the second game, Hubbell was nicked for eleven hits while Alexander held the Giants to eight. “Red" Faber held the New York Yankees to eight hits to give the Chicago White sox a 12-inning victory, 4 to 3. Pipgras and Hoyt were found for . ten hits. Reynolds, Chicago outfielder, scored the winning run on Swanson’s sacrifice fly. The Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 1. Jack Quinn, veteian spitbailer, held the Ti gers to six hits and batted in the winning run in the seventh. A pair of sin-

. glee and a wild throw by Dykes gave the Tigers their only run. The St. Louis Browns clinched third place in the American League by deI feutlng the Boston Red Sox. 5 to 2 I Alvin Crowder tinned ip his 19th victory, holding the Red Sox to nine scat teied hits. The Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Braves divided a double header. Cin- . cinnati won the first game, 7 to 2 ami j the Braves won the nightcap, 9 to 5. The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated ' Philadelphia, 6 to 4, Carmen Hill being I credited with the victory. > 0 — ■ Harvard’s Method of Blocking Kicks (t-i /© /OOSOCbkJ) E. / T G C G * l By SOL METZGER The Big Green team from Hanover. Dartmouth, once came to Cambridge to defeat Harvard but went home sadder but wiser. The late P. D. Haughton, master of the kicking game, won 1 from a stronger rushing and passing | i aggregation, by this means. Nothing is more demoralizing to a football team than to have its kicks blocked. Defeat usually follows. It did in this case. Don't forget that blocking kicks is part of the kicking game, as its most advanced advocates, the late Percy Haughton and the late Andy Smith, well knew. They always saw that the opposing kicker was rushed and annoyed even if his punts were not blocked. That prevented him from placing his kicks. A hurried punter is of little value. In this Dartmouth-Harvard game Coach Haughton worked a new wrinkle that has been slow to spread over the country. He knew that most teams, including Dartmouth, used the quarterback. No. 1, in the accompanying diagram, to protect the punter on his left side. This quarter always had 'done the same thing. He would wait behind his center, and as the right I tackle and end charged across he drove himself into the side of the tackle in order to force him out to the right, thus delaying the end. Haughton's scheme was to have the I Harvard right end charge straight in tow'ard his own center as the ball was snapped, the tackle going through as usual. Dartmouth's quarter came out to block the tackle, which gave the Harvard right eml a straight ahead run at the kicker. In this way he blocked punts. There are other methods. One good one will be shown tomorrow. , What to eat, how to eat, overcoming indigestion, are some of the questions answered in Sol Metzger’s leaflet on "Diet and Training for Football." Mr. Metzger will send this leaflet to anyone sending aktanmpe d, addressed envelope in care of this paper. o Delaney Scores Technical Knockout Over Nando Tassi New York, Sept. 21 —(UP)—Back in the goed graces of the New York Boxing fans. Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn., today made preparations to regain the lightheavyweight title he renounced last year to enter the heavyweight division. Delaney convinced ten thousand fans last night at Ebbets field that he still can punch in his own division, even if he can't hit with the heavies He scored a technical knockout over Nando Tassi, a tough but raw Italian light-heavyweight, in the eleventh round of their scheduled fifteen-round bout. o Twenty-Five Boys Benefitted At Camp Indianapolis, Ind., Sept 21 —(U.R) — Twenty five boys, "graduates" of the new demonstration camp of the Marion County Tuberculosis association, at Bridgeport, returned to school recently in much improved physical condition. Under treatment at the nutrition camp the twenty five youngsters gained and average of two pounds uceording to Miss Helen Neal, child health education director of the associalion. Supervised athletics, careful nourishment, and regular sun baths were features of the boy's four weeks stay at the camp. Two boys responded almost miraculously to the treaftnent system. They are William Parks 4765 English Ave. who gained six pounds in four weeks and Mitchell Mathans, 8,326 N. Lasalle St., who added four pounds to his weight. — o Get the Habit —Traae at Home, It Pays

LITTLE GIANTS HARD AT WORK Crawfordsville, Sept 21 —(Special) —The Little Giant football aquad, under the dricetoin of head Coach “Pete" Vaughn and linecoacti "Gauina" Neal, is going through the fray with Indiana on Sept. 29. With only a week of practice remaining, the Little Giants i are putting forth their best efforts to be in shape for the university eleven. Wabash college has always been a thorn in the side of nearby univers- < ities, on the gridiron, and this year it also bids fair to spring surprises. With the exception of "Pig" Elliott Scarlet center, who is out with an injured back, the squad is in top form. Sixty-five freshmen answered the first call for rhynie gridiron candidates. “Jimmy" Patterson. Freshman coach, is well pleased with the large squad and the size of the men. Many of them come well recommended, and have held all-state positions in recent | years,, As yet no freshman schedule | has been arranged, but they will probably play two games this fall. The Wabash football schedule is: Sept. 29 — Indiana University at Bloomington. Oct. 6.—Central Normal at Crawfordsville. Oct. 16—James Milliken University at Decatur. Illinois. Oct. 20 —Georgetown at CrawfordsI ville. Oct. 27—Indiana State Normal at Crawfordsville. Nov. 3—Colgate University at Colgate. New York. Nov. 10—Chicago Y. M. C. A. at | Crawfordsville.

The Fourth Down i I By Willie Punt The Yellow Jackets were scheduled to meet the Columbia City Eleven In a conference game at Columbia City at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Several fans accompanied the locals to the Whitely county hub. Use Ghost Ball "Coaches Devol and Rice have been sending their charges through strenuous drills and have used the “ghost I ball" in drill after dark. The coaches have lined up the first team backfield with the second string line against the fit st the first team line and second team backfield. The way the regulars lipped up their opponents was very satisfying to the coaches" —Columbia City Post. Colyumnists at Newcastle are said to be in a state of near hysterics as a result of the 6 to 6 tie game played between the Trojans and Connersville last week. Newcastle defeated (“ville I by a 7<) to 0 score last season and the tie last week was quite a setback to the Rose City scribes. "Moon" Baker of the Times describes the Trojan line as "a refuge far loafers,” and other stinging terms are hurled in the direction of the unlucky high school players.
