BIG TEN RACE OPENS SATURDAY By Dixon Stewart Chicago, Oct. 12 Saturday’s football program, in which all but two big ten teams meet conference opponents, in certain to result in the rollapse of whatever championship hopes are held by at least four of the schools. Illinois and Wisconsin, the only teams which do not open their confer ence season this week will have practice games with lowa Colleges. The llllni playing Coe and Cornell furnishing opposition tor the Badgers. While the Notre Dame-Navy game, at Chicago is regarded by unattached fans as the big sporting event of the day western conference followers place little important once a clash between defeated teams and regard the open ing of Big Ten competition as the major sport feature of the week. Three of the teams playing Saturday, Minnesota, Purdue and Ohio, have distinct championship hopes, and two others, Indiana and lowa, are regarded in the "dark horse" class. Only Michigan, Chicago and Northwestern are entertaining no hopes of copping the 1 <-. nference title and Michigan is the only school in the Big Ten which does not expect to have a better team than in 1927. Probably the most important con ference battle of the week will be the Purdue Minnesota game, at Mlnneapo lis. The Gophers lost a tie for the 1927 title through a tie game with Indiana, and are an outstanding favorite this season, leading critics considering them a certain one-two finisher. Cla‘rence Spears, Minnesota coach, lias developed another strbng team, although he is not yet entirely satisfied with his line and Nagurski, a reformed tackle, has net completely filled the bill at fullback. In Purdue, the Gophers are meeting a team which has visions of its first Big Ten championship. Coach Jirifmy Phelan has a veteran line and a crew of star backfield men, headed by "Pest" Welch. Harmenson, Guthrie and Caraway. With this aggregation of tai. ent the Boilermakers are certain to cause trouble for Spears' Jauggernaut and there appears to be little to choose in this contest. Indiana, another cf the conference) "dark horses” meets Michigan in the! other big ten game The Wolverines I lost almost their entire 1927 team by ! graduation and a 17 to 7 defeat by I Ohio Wbsleyan in last Saturday's prac-1 tice game indicates that coach Field-1 ing H. Yost has his weakest team in Michigan grid history. Pat Page’s situation is just the opposite and a Hoosier victory tomorrow is almost a forgone conclusion. Indiana has a veteran team and except for a suicidal schedule which calls for six I Big Ten games, would be considered i a strong contender for championship honors. In the Big Six conference lowa state meets Grinnell and Kansas plays Washington University, the other two' teams, Nebraska and Missouri having what should be easy practice games | before they swing into their real scramble again next week. lowa state should down Grinnell while Kansas is rated much stronger than Washington Other important games in the middlewest tomorrow include: Drake vs. Marquette. Butler vs. Franklin Haskell vs. Loyola, at Kansas City. Kansas State vs. Hays. Michigan State vs. Chicago "Y” Creighton vs. Oklahoma Aggies. Louisville vs Detroit. Kipton vs. Northwestern college. Millikin vs. Wabash. Lombard vs. Kalamazoo State Nor mal. Beloit vs. North Central. o Seek Walter Johnson To Manage Senators Washington, Oct. 12—Clerk Griffith, President of the Washington Senators will sign Walter Johnson, former Sena tors pitcher, to manage the club next year if the "Big Train” can obtain his release from the Newark Club of the Internal! nal League, Griffith said today. 1 certainly would like to have John son if he can get his release from the Newark Club" Griffith said. Tlie Sena.o.'s president, however, indicated that he would take no part In t’c gc.- : ions J hnson may have with Paul Block, owner of the Newark team, toward obtaining his release. Johnson’s contract as manager of the Newark team still has a year to run. Centennial Os Hancock County Is Celebrated Greenfield, Ind., Oct. 12 —'U.K — A parade which required nearly two hours In passing featured the Centennial celebration of this city and Hancock county, Wednesday afternoon. A pregram was given in Raley memorial park, with Rabbi Garry August. Gary, as the .principal speaker. Many relics of pioneer days were displayed and one of the parade floats was drawn by oxen.

Criss-Cross Play Aids Kockne’s Team \ F H H I W-! By SOL METZGER As the Navy learned a year ago, when Notre Dame scored its first touchdown against them, it must be on guard against reverse plays of the criss-cross type Rockne has a dandy shuttle play that will keep any team on pins and needles. It is made poss--1 ihle by the sweeping end runs and cut in plays that featured the running of Flanagan the past few years. The fu.lback takes a pass from center and starts to his right or left (right in the digram) as defensive left end. No. 1 runs to the left, receives the ball from the fullback, whose ruse has likely drawn some o fthe defense out of the play. Nos. 2 and 3 take the opposing right end and No. 1 cuts in off the defensive right tackle led by two linemen. It is a powerful sweep because Notre Dame's ends are usually able to box opposing tackles without assistance. In most other forms of attack coach es use a back or lineman to assist an end. Another thing about Notre Dame's attack worth noting is the way a lineman or two from the side to which the play does not go get into the defensive backfield and account for an opponent. Tomorrow— Let's see what the Navy has to offer. Diet often stands between victory and defeat. You can't expect to win ■ at football by overeating and undersleeping. You must lejrn the value of regulation. Send stamped, addressed envelope, in care of this paper, and request Sol Metzger's leaflet on "Diet and Training for Football."; The Fourth Down (v\ By Willie Punt BEAT PORTLAND!
