The Buckeye eleven is one of the leaders in the race for the western I conference championship and Will be fighting to avenge the defeat of 1927 at Princeton's hands. The Tigers are expected Io be in top form for today's game. Because of Ohio's great showing in Bi Ten games, the Buckeyes have been installed as favorites over the Tigers, who were held to a tie by Virginia and have been playing most of their games against smaller schools. Nevertheless, Princeton is dangerous. Purdue vs. Case Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 3.—(U.R)—Purdue's Boilermakers are looking forward to an easy victory in today’s game with Case. The game was scheduled as a “let-up” tilt between Chicago and Northwestern. Purdue has shown to advantage in its last two games and is not expected to have any trouble.

• Rockne Solved Way To Stop This Play :

■ * I * "" x ' Xw

By SOL METZGER The three-men-out formation has another play than went big in its early days, and still works like a charm when the defense is not tipped off to it. Look out they don't catch you with it today, Ohio State and Vanderbilt. Only one team ever stopped this play the first few years it was used. That team was Notre Dame in 1917, when Rockne was an assistant coach and Jesse Harper holding the reins. They saw it before meeting W. & J. and worked a clever defense. But the type of play we are getting at is one that was used with the threeraeivout when the defensive teams began covering all three with backs. Then all three would tear down the field and turn in to the left to draw all defensive backs that way. Whereupon the No. 2 man, the left tackle, would swing around back of his own line into the open territory that had just been vacated and take a forward pass on the run from No. 4. Notre Dame stopped the play by having Its right tackle follow the No. 2 man around, throwing him as he caught the pass just back of the line of scrimmage. Beginning Monday we will show other variations of the play as well as the set defense that always stops every pass attempted from it. For more than twenty years Sol Metzger has been identified with football. He has observed. In a leaflet "Diet and Training for Football,” he shows what a necessary part diet plays with success on the gridiron.

BERNE LOSES TO NEW HAVEN The Berne high school Bears lost an interesting basketball game to the New Haven high school quintet, at New Haven, last night, by a score of 39-30.

The first half ended with New Haven leading, 22J.1. In the preliminary game, the Berne seconds easily defeated the New Haven second team, 35-14. Lineups and summary: Berne (30) FG. FT. T.

Huntington Wins From Bluffton Tigers, 6-0 Huntington, Nov. 3 — Huntington high school won its first home game of the season by defeating Bluffton, b to 0 before a home-coming crowd here Friday afternoon. The muddy field prevented the three star backfield men, Petrie and Fryer of Huntington and Plye of Bluffton from getting away for senational tuns although Fryer did make two nice gains of 15 yards each around the Tiger wings during the game. Huntington scored in the third quarter when a 20-yard pass from Petrie to Hosier, which was followed by a 15-yard penalty on Bluffton because e. substitute talked, placed the ball on the one-yard line. Petrie carried the ball over on the first play. Huntington kept the ball in Bluffton territory during almost all of the game.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1928

D.H.S.TOPLAY GENEVA, MONROE Decatur high school's Yellow Jackets will make their initial appearance of the 1928-29 basketball season next Saturday night In a double-header program. Coach Herb Curtis announced today. The squad will be divided for games with Qeneva and Monroe. The first game will start at 7:30 o'clock and the second at 8:30 o'clock. Coach Curtis stated that Carl Gerber, veteran center, will captain one of the teams Saturday night, while Joe Krick, veteran guard, will lead the other quintet. The proceeds from the game will be used in buying sweaters for the football team. Season tickets will not be .(.ad for these two games. The regular schedule will open on Friday night, November 16, when the Kirkland Kangaroos, winners of the sectional tourney here last year, come to town for their annual clash with the Yellow Jackets. Season tickets will go on sale next week. Principal Walter Krick stated today. The Yellow Jackets are beginning to round into condition for the season. Several scrimmages have been held and prospects are said to be good. Several recruits are showing up to fine advantage. —— o “Your Health” This Column is conducted by the Adame County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association In the Interest of the public’s health. Competitive Athletics At this time of the year thousands of Indiana boys in high school and college are engaging in competitive athletics. Many columns are written daily in the papers upon the heroicstand of football teams in the shadow of their own goal posts and last-min-ute forward passes that bring victory out of defeat. Loud are th? shouts of triumph and mournful are the groans of the vanquished and somewhere through it all comes the ever recurring question, Are we over-doing competitive athletics? "There is a happy medium,” is the answer the Indiana State Medical Association makes to this question through a bulletin upon “Competitive Athletics" issued by the Bureau of Publicity of that organization. "In Indiana, with our Indiana Collegiate Association ami Indiana High School Athletic Association, we are in a better way than most states, and par cuts may feel assured that when their boys enter a contest they will meet I boys who are really amateurs. The high standard set by the Indiana High School Athletic Association and the colleges and universities of the state eliminate much of the parents' worries in regard to amateur athletics. "Many colleges and Universities have a plan of examining all entering students and rating them according to their posture ad general condition. Those who fall below a certain rating are not permitted to enter any form of competitive athletics. They are required to spend time in a corrective class. This is a fine idea and should be adopted In more schools. "Before ‘going cut for a team,' every boy or girl should have a thorough physical examination. The Indiana High school Athletic Association wisely in demanding that each boy who plays football or basketball should have a signed certificate by a reputable physician stating that he is physically able to stand the strain of the game. "This examinaticn should be undertaken from a different point of view than the routine examination made by the regular school physician whose attention naturally is centered on nutritional problems and epidemic diseases. Some students should be forbidden to take part in sports and others should be required even against their will to get Into the game. “A common mistake of too many athletes and for that matter, too many coaches from a health standpoint, is attempting to do too much in the beginning. 'Warm up slowly' is a good athletic motto. For example, cross country runners who will eventanlly cover three or four miles in a race never should be permitted to run the complete distance until after several weeks of training. "Mr. Daniel Chase, President of the New York State Public High School ' Athletic Association, says: 'lt is important to limit the length of the prac- 1 tice periods in different athletic sports. School authorities should be on the watch continually for signs of overstrain. A constant check on the gain or loss in weight should be maintained during the playing season. Loss in weight except for the unusually fleshy person, is a sign of staleness. Less practice and competition should be constantly considered.’ | “It is absolutely necessary to ob- 1

Gerber, who is only a junior, is one of the best plungers In the Northeastern conference, and he may be fortunate enough to have better support from his team next season. Nicholson, of Garrett, is another fine full back who Is handicapped because he plays with a comparatively weak team” Fan Whiffs, Huntington Herald. o .
