Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 3—Dr. William W. Roper and his Princeton Tigers arrived here Friday to play a football game with the Ohio Staters, probable, potential or possible champions of the Big Ten con ference. A large part of the local community stumbled through the early jnorning fog to greet the doctor and his athletes at the railroad ‘crminus. If I say they were amazed, I underestimate the emotion; shocked or astounded would be better. tt tt tt OF ALL THE COACHES IN THE EAST, DR. ROPER’S NAME COMMANDS MORE FEAR. RESPECT AND SUSPICION—IF THAT IS THE WORD—THAN ANY OTHER GENTLEMAN ENGAGED IN THE SUBTLE AND INTRICATE BUSINESS OF BUILDING CHARACTERS IN OUR LEADING Universities. tt tt tt THIS being so, it is not difficult to appreciate the vast disappointment Columbus experienced this morning in getting its first eyejfull of the gentleman. , tt tt tt They saw in him not a beetlebrowed, shadowy individual that suggested a perfect blend of Houdini and Thurston, but a plain, ordinary person in a brown business suit with a crumpled felt hat, clear, blue eyes and a wide smile, who might have stopped over for no other unromantic purpose than getting a spring order of camisoles and flannelette nightgowns from one of the department stores. tt tt tt IN SHORT, DR. ROPER LOOKED NO MORE MYSTERIOUS OR PUZZLING THAN BULGING RIGHT HIP AT A COUNTRY CLUB DANCE. THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COLOR TO HIM. HE IS TO WESTERN FANCY WHAT KNUTE ROCKNE IS TO THE EAST. tt tt tt I THINK it is true you hear more about Roper than you do about "his ball players. Surely this is true of Rockne and Notre Dame. The answer is obvious. The men are outstanding personalities in their professions. If it is possible for a coach to dominate the drama that is being enacted on the field by eleven other men these two—Roper and Rockne —do it. a a tt Roper simply happens to be one of those unusual persons with sufficient personal magnetism to whip a group of young men up to an unusual fighting notch. Some times this is enough to offset a superior team’s attack. Other times it isn’t. tt tt tt WHETHER THIS WILL MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VICTORY OR DEFEAT WHEN THESE TWO UNBEATEN. INTERSECTIONAL RIVALS MEET THIS AFTERNOON IS SOMETHING ELSE.

Technical Fights to Deadlock With Evansville Team Technical battled its way to a 6-6 tie with the stror-; Central of Evansville team at „i;e Arsenal field Friday afternoon on a muddy field. The teams were well matched and neither team held a decided edge over the other at any stage of the game. Central slowly pushed their way to the Tech goal line early in the game despite stubborn resistance and early in the second period Beucher plunged through for the touchdown. The pass for point was grounded. Tech made a gallant attempt to score in the first half, but a fumble proved costly and the locals left the field trailing. In the third quarter both teams braced and neither was able to gain. In the last period Horn pushed his way over the Evansville line and the plunge for point failed.

WELL, at any rate, the Smiths have it at Madison, Wis., today. There are three of ’em on the Badger grid squad while the invading Alabama team has two. And what’s more, each of the five Smiths is rated a regular. You’ll grant that’s a whole lot of “Smithies” to be on one field at the same time, all of which, of course, is nobody’s business. tt tt One advantage of having five Smiths playing concerns the cheer leader, some of whom get balled up occasionally and urge a barrage of yells for the wrong guy. When in doubt, therefore, nine rahs for Smith at Madison today will simplify matters for it will blanket five warriors. tt tt a IT ISN'T OFTEN A COLLEGE COACH GETS THE LAUGH ON CRITICAL ALUMNI, BUT HERE WE HAVE ‘'DOC’’ WILCE OF OHIO STATE WHO HAS THE OLD GRADS HOG TIED. THEY DEMANDED HIS SCALP LAST YEAR, BUT HAVE ABOUT-FACED AND ARE URGING HIM TO STAY. HIS ANSWER DOUBTLESS WILL BE A BOOST IN PAY. tt tt tt BUT what makes Indiana rise up on their hind legs Is the announcement by the Buckeyes a few days ago to the effect the Ohio Staters expected to clean up on Princeton “because they didn’t have to use all their plays against the Hoosiers.” tt tt a The modern collegiates certainly are the champions at the art of using nice ways to rub it in. tt tt THE GRID SEASON HAS REACHED THAT STAGE WHERE THE UNDEFEATED TEAMS ARE CARRYING THE LOAD THAT STRAINS MIND AND BODY AS THEY KEY UP EVERY WEEK. OPPONENTS DON’T HESITATE TO TRY ANYTHING. MOTH EATEN PLAYB AND EVEN TRICK FORMATIONS COPIED FROM THE MAGAZINE SECTIONS OF 3UNDAY NEWSPAPERS. tt tt tt Some of the story book grid formations are not easy to figure out .In fact, if followed, there would be several collisions In the back field before the boys even got up to the line.

ISAACS It was a swell fotball dish that the college boys slid in front of the nation’s fans this afternoon. There wasn’t an exceptional number of big rivalry contests on the day’s program, but there happened to be plenty to talk about with a mess of great intersectional engagements on the menu. Three Hoosier elevens swung into action against eatsern foes. The top-go of the group was the Notre Dame-Penn State encounter at Philadelphia and pre-game dope was slightly in favor of the Rockne outfit. Wabash tangled with Colgate at Hamilton, N. Y., in a tilt slightly tinged with the old rivalry angle. The Cavemen last yaer tumbled Colgate, 7 to 0, and the easterners were all set to make an attempt to even the score.

Other important Indiana conflicts were staged in Indianapolis, Butler meeting Muncie at the Bulldog bowl and Indiana Central playing Earlham at Washington park. Only two Big Ten settos were on the bill, Illinois playing Michigan at Ann Arbor, and Minnesota taking on Northwestern at Evanston. Here’s Big One The big shot of the day also involved a conference squad, Ohio State clashing with the Princeton eleven in the headlining intersectional fracas of the afternoon. Pregame dope was slightly in favor of the Buckeyes. Another big game loomed at Chicago where Penn and Chicago were to fight It out. A third came at Madison where Wisconsin played host to the south, represented by Alabama. Three big games were on the eastern card, N. Y. U. meeting Georgetown at New York, Dartmouth tackling Yale at New Haven and Syracuse clashing with Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh. In the far west the Southern Cali-fornia-Stanford game was the feature.
