CHICAGO CUBS NEED ONLY TWO MORE TRIUMPHS Cubs. Beat. Pirates. For 18th In Row; Hold Three-Game Lead New York. Sept. 23.-■ (U.R) Two more victories—and the National league pennant will be property of the Chicago Cubs. The “kid team” which boasts 18 straight triumphs has only five games left, all with the wot idchampion St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards will finish in the runner-up position if they drop two games of that showdown series which opens Wednesday in St. Louis. The Cubs are idle today and tomorrow while the Cards, who have seven games remaining, play Pittsburgh. Perhaps, by Wednesday, the Chicagoans may be in even a more favorable spot than they are today. The worst they can do is enter the St. Louis series two games to the good. They have a three-game lead and the Cards can chop it at best to two by winning today and tomorrow The Cardinals need those victories in order to have a fighting chance for the pennant. Loss of one game will mean they'll have to sweep the Cub series to win and take four out of ffve to tie. Two defeats will put the Cubs in a spot where only one more victory will be needed to send them into a world series against Detroit. No matter how the race is figured matematically. the cold playing fact point to a Chicago victory. The St. Louis pitching is weak and the Cubs are hitting a tremendous clip. The Dean Brothers have shared the major pitching burden for St. Louis for weeks. The Cubs, on the other hand.

Bo McMillin Writes Series Os Articles For Daily Democrat By A. N. (BO) McMILLTN, Head Football Coach at Indiana University.

(Editor's note: In this article Bo describes the 6-2-2-1 defense, which is popular in western conference football). Just as Big Ten football teams feature varied types of offense, so are defensive maneuvers of all description brought into use One of the most popular types of; Big Ten defense is what is known as the 6-2-2-1. with a six man line, a lineman and a back directly in back of the forward wall, two backs farther to the rear of them and then the safety man in his customary position. This type of defense is used largely because of its effectiveness against forward pass plays, as it allows five men to pursue eligible receivers, while at the same time. 1 if a line play is pulled, the linemen | are adequately backed up. It is in general use throughout the Big 1 Ten. although not to the exclusion of any other defense. Chicago Different Michigan. Purdue and Ohio State ; all largely use the 6-2-2-1 defense. | Chicago, one of Indiana's annual rivals, features what is known as the 6-3-2 defense, with three men ; backing up the six-man line, and ( the other two backs slightly to the rear. This defense is particularly effective against running plays, forcing the ball carrier to the center of the line or to the outside in his effort to gain ground. The full- • hack and halfback come up fast.
