PLAYING /AFIELD

With Billy Evans FOR 3%ars and years Knute Rockne has been turning out remarkable teams at Notre Dame, yet when the season is over and the experts begin picking their AllAmerican stars, you seldom find more than one man from Rockne’s

great eleven of that year in the first team line-up. • Recently I asked Rockne for an answer to that rather unusual condition, and his immediate reply was: "Asa rule, some of my very best tplayers do not get an opportunity to prove their real

Evans

worth because they aren’t in the game long enough. I usually have a number of backs of nearly equal ability and I aim to give them all a chance. "Such a system very often keeps some particular player from getting the headlines he would had he been permitted to play longer, thus giv-. ing him a better opportunity to display his stuff.” * • Since mulling over Rockne’s answer to my query, I am convinced that failure to play a greater length of time in the big game has kept many a Notre Dame player in the background who otherwise might have been an outstanding star. a a a STARLESS TEAM WINS THIS year Coach Bob Zuppke at Illinois won a Big Ten title with what the experts referred to as a "starless” team, yet Bob Zuppke will tell you he had three or four truly great players, who might have starred had he put their individual efforts before team success. I know that Zuppke considers Timm one of the best half backs in the country, yet in one rather important game this fall Timm didn t get into action until the final period, although in perfect condition. Zuppke simply picked the spot where he believed he would be of the ipost value to the success of Illinois, rather than catering to Timm and using him solely to give him a chance to shine and perhaps be of no great use when the crisis arrived. a a a Zuppke, like Rockne, has been one of the most successful coaches, which proves the methods they often adopt, while unorthodox, are usually best for team success.

Tech, Georgia to Meet Saturday; Dixie Land Is Stirred Up. INDIANA IS REPRESENTED Athens . Eleven Boasts of Wonderful Record. Bu Times Special ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 29.—The outstanding conflict of the southern football season will be played at Grant field here Saturday between the undefeated, untied University of Georgia eleven and the powerful Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The game is attracting national attention. Two years ago these two State institutions resumed athletic relations after a stretch of about twenty years of inter-school inactivity. Tech took the first game, 3 to 0, and Georgia won last year’s tilt by a one-point margin, 14 to 13. This year’s games will be in the nature of a rubber affair. Won From Yale Outstanding in the Georgia list of viqtories are the triumphs over Yale and Alabama, the latter for three successive years champions of the Southern Conference. Should the Athens eleven come through its clash with Tech undefeated, it well may have a solid claim to the mythical national title. A curious angle is thrown on the contest when it is learned that two of Notre Dame’s immortal “Four Horsemen’’ of 1924 championship team will be sitting on opposite sides of the fidld Saturday as rivals instead of teammates. Don Miller is assistant coach at Tech while Jim (Sleepy) Crowley is assistant coach at Georgia. Hoosier Full Back Dick McCrary, star Georgia full back, is another who gives Indiana a good representation. McCrary is a Bicknell, Ind., lad and was named all-State High School full back in 1924. Head Coach Woodruff of Georgia is putting his squad through strenuous drills at Athens, Ga., this week and when Captain Shiver leads his men into battle they are certain to be in perfect condition. And the same can be said for Coach Alexander’s Tech aggregation of Atlanta. BICKNELL EXCITED Bu Times Special BICKNELL, Ind., Nov. 29.—Bicknell football fans are agog with excitement over the approaching southern football feature Saturday between Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia. Dick McCrary, star Georgia fullback, is a former Bicknell High School star. McCrary was placed on The Indianapolis Times’ 1924 all-State High School team. He also won honors as a sprinter for the local high school. He was named as second team fullback on the United Press’ all-American elevens selected recently- .

Alekhine Lifts Chess Crown in Marathon Match B AIRES, Nov. 29.—Alex Alekhine virtually was the uncrowned world’s chess champion today. Although the thirty-fourth game was adjourned Monday night until late today after eighty-one moves, Jose Capablanca was conceded to be in an impossible position. After the adjournment, Capablanca merely said: “The whites’ game is won.” Capablanca, it was understood, would study his position and if he decides it is hopeless he will write a letter to the chess board. He took this way of avoiding demonstrations and interviews Monday night. The score to date was Alekhine five games, Capablanca three, and voided draws twenty-five games. The chess club was jammed with an unusual crowd. After the adjournment, the throng invaded the secluded chambers where the chess masters almost nightly have matched their brains since Sept. 15. They lifted Alekhine off his feet and carried him down two flights to the street. Cheers of “hurray for old baldhead Alekhine!” came from the street as the chess player was carried out the chess club doorway.

‘Kiki’ Traded to Cubs for Two Players Adams and Scott Sent to Pirates; All Principals Satisfied. Bu United Preßß PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 29. William L. Veeck, president of the Chicago baseball club of the National League, and his manager, Joe McCarthy, returned to Chicago today with Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler numbered among their stars for 1928. , While in Pittsburgh, Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pirates, gladly told of how he made the trade which will bring Earl (Sparkie) Adams, star infielder of the Cubs, and Outfielder Floyd J. Scott to his club next season. Apparently everybody was happy. Cuyler Surprised Cuyler, at his home in Flint. Mich., expressed surprise and satisfaction at the deal which climaxed many rumors and much speculation as to where he would land next year. Everybody knew that the fleet outfielder was through with the Pirates. Adams jumped from a first division club to a championship club, which should have no bad effects on his brilliant playing at second base. To Have Opportunity Scott, who has done little but substitute duty in major league ball, will have as good an opportunity in the Pirate outfield as he had with the Cubs. From the clubs’ standpoint the trade strengthened the Pirates at second base, their weakest -spot, and satisfied the desire of Manager McCarthy to add a seasoned outfielder to his string of Cubs. It was declared no cash consideration figured in the transaction brought about by the secret meeting of Dreyfuss, Veeck, McCarthy and Owen Buswh, Pirate manager.
