INTERSECTIONS!. GAMES FEATURE By Dixon Stewart. UP Staff Corespondent Chicago. Nov. 2.-(U.R) -Intersectional g*m«» ’"•» “’“ ,ure mi'Wle west. pl7l football tomorrow. Only two camPß are billed between Big Ten ~i mf erence members, the .other teams being scheduled for intersectional or practice games. Ohio State and Princeton head the program with a game at Columbus which will provide a test of the merits of western conference and eastern t-jatns. Both schools are leaders in ti e ir territory, the Buckeyes having won every start this season and being a strong contender for Big Ten honors. Princeton defeated Cornell, 3 to 0 last week and is rated with the east's leaders. Princeton handed Ohio a 20 to 0 drubbing in 1927 and the easterners are believed to be stronger this yeat than last. Ohio is also much stronger and the Buckeyes are slight favorites to defeat the easterners. Pennsylvania, which plays Coach A. A. Stagg's Maroons at Chicago, seems certain to get revenge for the defeats sustained at the hands of Big Ten conference teams the past three years. The easterners were on the wrong i end of a one sided score when Red Grange led the Illini on an eastern invasion in 1925, and came west tn 19211 only to meet a 3 to 0 defeat at Illinois. I-ast year Penn dropped Illinois in favor of Chicago and again were defeated. The third intersectional game will bling together Wisconsin’s Badgers and Alabama's Crimson tide. Wisconsin still is undefeated in Big Ten circles, while Alabama has won every start. The teams are new rivals. Illinois' clash with Michigan will be the only important Big Ten battle and Illinois should win easily. Michigan has been unable to win a game this season while the champion Illini apparently are on their way to a second championship. Minnesota, eliminated from the championship race by its defeat at the hands of lowa, meets a strong opponent in Northwestern. The games, at Evanston, will attract a capacity crowd. lowa and Purdue play ‘‘Breather" games, the Hawks taking on South Dakota and the Boilermakers meeting Case. Indiania will be idle. In the B'g Six conference Nebraska plays at Kansas and Oklahoma is scheduled with lowa State, at Ames. The Buskers walloped Misouri, their most dangerous opponent, last week and are expected to experience little trouble with .Jayhawks. Oklahoma is conceded a slight edge over the Cyclones. Misouri will play Drake, one of the strongest Missouri Valley clubs. Kansas Aggies, the other Big Six team, is not scheduled this week, and no games between Misouri Valley teams are scheduled, Grinnell meeting Marquette, Washington playing Haskell and Oklahoma A. & M. taking on Oklahoma City U. Other games in this territory include: Cornell College vs. Coe. Michigan State vs. Mississippi A. t M. Ripon vs. Lawrence. - — 0 Pacific Coast Football Reaches Climax Saturday San Francisco. Nov. 2 —JU.RZ Football on the Pacific Coast will reach a climax tomorrow when four members of the Coast conference, each with an opportunity to finish in first place, engage in two contests on California gridirons. The Cardinals of Stanford UniverB *ty will meet the University of Southern California at Palo Alto in one of the annual football classics of the west The University of Oregon plays the University of California's Golden Bears at Berkeley in an equally important game. The ‘‘Big Three' of California remain undefeated in conference play. Oregon, despite an early season loss to Stanford, has improved and is accorded a chance to beat the Bears. Stanford and California were the fatoday the four teams were considered so evenly matched that a 8 ngle error might .provide upsets. — : — — o —— Auto Races To Be Held At Portland, Sunday Portland, Nov. 2—(Special)—A large ,at etltr * es have been received for 6 auto laces to be held at the Jay 'oinity fair grounds here next Sunday, ‘ oieniber 4.

A Variety of the I Three-Men-Out I _ i Z / ~ X \ <3U I\l By SOL METZGER No team ever perfected the three-men-out formation to a higher point of perfection than did West Virginia. For a month its coaches battled back and forth with it until certain definite conclusions were reached. The result was a tremendous victory over Princeton. Washington & Jefferson then took hold of it with a light team and in 1916 scored twice on Yale's championship eleven. Since then among the other users of this formation have been Princeton, Union, South Carolina V.rginia, Lake F rest, Missouri, and innumerable school elevens. As the formation is still in use ami will be for some years let us here explain the little point about it that caused it to work so well, even when defensive teams changing their set of backs to stop it. as Yale did in 1919. The key to its success is the positions of No. 1, 2 and 6, the three-men out. No. 1 was on the scrimmage line. No. 6 was back of it 2 yards on one side of No. 1, No. 2 was back of it 3 yards on the other side of No. 1. Thus, when all three of these men ran down the field 10 yards, where No. 1 stopped and turned. No. 6 would pass close by him and tun to the right. Just as No. 6 passed No. 1, with a defensive hack following him, No. 2 would cut in and pass No. 1. That prevented the defensive track covering No. 2 from following him. as either No. 1 or No. 6 or the defensive hacks covering them would legally block him out i of the p’ay. The ensuing pass, No. 4 to No. 2. worked for two touchdowns versus Yale and hundreds of others these past ten years. Tomor-row--anothei wrinkle to the formation. What to eat, how to eat, overcoming indigestion, are some of the questions answered in Sol Metzgers leaflet on “Diet and Training for Football.” Mr. Metzger will send this leaflet to anyone sending a stamped, addressed envelope iQ care of this paper. Copyright, 1928, Publishers Syndicate o Three Biff Games On Card In East Saturday New York. Nov. 2- U.R. <>»!> three big games are scheduled Saturday on eastern gridirons. The New York I'niversity-George-town University game at Yankee Stadium will bring together the east's high-scoring teams and two of the five undefeated major elevens in this section. Notre Dame makes its first appearance of the season in the east against Penn State, at Philadelphia, in the outstanding intersections! game. Yale and Dartmouth, both beaten for the first, time last week, meet a* New Haven, and the winner may finish the season among the leaders. Two minor intersectional games win bring together the Army and DePauw at West Point and Colgate and Wabash at Hamilton, N. Y. DePauw should give the Army a breathing spell after its two stiff battles against Harvard ami Yale, but Colgate may be in bad shape after its terrific beating at. the hands of N. Y. U. and may find Wabash troublesome. 0 7 COURT HOUSE To Appoint Guardian The petition of Clifton Shoemaker, asking for the app int.ment of a guardian for John P Shoemaker, an aged and infirm person, was granted by the court today.

Enrollment is open to all men eighteen years of age or over and incurs no obligation to enter upon any form of Scout work. General Plan The term consists of five indoor meetings and one afternoon and evening hike.

Troop and patrol leaders will meet with the scoutmaster in a patrol leaders’ council after each meeting to practice on the subject matter for the coming session.

The other steps in the five-year pro gram is for the student to serve as a patrol leader in our elementary | course; qualify for Red Cross advanced course, first aid certificates; spec-

ialize in two major scout subjects, such as swimming, life saving, nature study, handicraft, leathercraft, artcraft, signaling, map work, archery, etc., and spend at least two weeks in camp with his troop under the supervision of the local council.
