Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—How many plays in a football game? Plenty. In some games there are more plays than in others. A statistician—of course you know what a statistician is? He is a figger filbert who has neglected to improve his leisure moments. tt tt tt . Well, anyway, a statistician gathered the detailed play by play Os ten feature games a week ago and went into a huddle with himself. An hour or so later he staggered out into the open, hair disheveled, eyes blazing and mouth foaming. x tt tt tt ' THE MAN SHOOK A BUSHEL OP PIGGERS OUT OF HIS BEARD, WHICH WHEN LAID BIND ON END SHOWED THAT THE AVERAGE GAME OP BIG TIME FOOTBALL IS MADE UP OP ABOUT 150 PLAYS DIVIDED MORE OR LESS EVENLY OVER THE FOUR QUARTERS OP PLAY. It tt tt figgers indicate that the 1. play is about as fast and diversified in one section of the country as the other. It wasn’t always thus. Fifteen, or even ten years back, the middle west played a faster game than the Atlantic or Pacific coast elevens. It may not have been better, but it was faster. tt it tt You saw more plays, in Some Instances you saw as many as fifty more plays. But this was in the days when ilie disposition to gamble with the open game was not as generally predominant as It is today. ' tt it tt THERE WERE. FOR INSTANCE, EIGHTEEN MORE PLAYS IN THE DART-MOUTH-YALE GAME THAN IN THE OHIO-PRINCETON GAME, BOTH PLAYED ON THE SAME DAY, IP THE AFOREMENTIONED ~ STATISTICIAN IS TO. BE BLIEVED, AN D IF YOU CAN’T BELIEVE A STATISTICIAN WHO CAN. • ' tt tt tt ■■ ' ' THE late Percy Haughton always had an urge to experiment in j a big way with football on a play basis rather than a time basis. He advocated throwing the watch away and deciding the game on i given number of plays. tt tt b It was his suggestion that the game be restricted to 160 plays, forty to a quarter, and that the element of time be dismissed altogether. The experiment was tried in several minor college games but didn’t go over so well. It was too confusing for the stands to follow. tt tt tt SOME OP THE BOYS WROTE THAT THE ELEMENT OP TIME CONTRIBUTED TO THE ARMY DEFEAT. SINCE THE GAME ENDED WITH THE CADETS GRUNTING AND SNORTING ON THE NOTRE DAME 3-YARD LINE. tt tt tt THIS might have been so if the ball had still been in possession of the Cadets, but it wasn’t; they had lost the ball on downs and before Notre Dame could assemble for,, a fresh attack the game ended a tt tt Obviously if the game had gone on for another minute or several Notre Dame would have had ample time to rush, pass or kick out of danger. The stop watch, therefore, had nothing to do with the Cadets’ defeat. tt tt tt l A, DETERMINED. VALIANT LINE REPULSED THE ARMY’S LAST ASSAULT AT THE VERY MOMENT TIME EXPIRED, AND THAT WAS ALL THERE WAS TO IT. Detroit May Play Far West Outfit By United Press DETROIT, Nov. 14. Coach Charles Dorais of the University of Detroit team, today said negotiations were pending for a football game between his unbeaten Titans and the Olympic Club of San Francisco on Dec. 8.

Pat Page’s Hoosiers Prepare for Encounter With Northwestern

Indiana Expects Hard Game With Tough Wildcat Squad. TEAM IN HEAVY DRILL Scrimmage Occupies Major Portion of Time. By Times Special LOOMING TON, Realizing there is pa still a chance to M finish in the first n division of an exj ceedingly compliyJ cated Big Ten y^r- / race, Coach Pat CSy' Page and his ■nmirM-r scrappin’ Hoosiers are in the midst of another week of hard work preparing to stop Northwestern here Saturday when the Wildcats invade Memorial stadium. Northwestern, with two victories and two defeats, has shown surprising power in the last two games, defeating Minnesota and Purdue, ranked among the top-notchers. The Hoosiers emerged from the Minnesota game in much better condition than was expected, and with the exception of a few minor injuries and bruises, the squad is in good shape. Chuck Bennett’s shoulder is improving, and it is said he will be in shape to start against the Wildcats. Todd did not participate in the drill Tuesday, owing to an old injury, but there still is a chance of the veteran being ready by Saturday. Shields, regular tackle, also remained out of practice. A leg injury has bothered him all season. Paul Jasper, shifted from end to tackle for a tryout, is showing good form and may get the call in the starting lineup against Northwestern. Randolph, star veteran center injured in the Ohio State game, is out for the season, according to campus reports. Tuesday afternoon, Page sent his squad through a light scrimmage session against freshmen, using Northwestern plays, under the direction of Coach Thom. It was probable that the work this afternoon would be the heaviest of the week, with scrimmage occupying most of the time. MAY CHANGE LINEUP By Un-it and Press EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 14.—A new Northwestern lineup may face Indiana at Bloomington next Saturday. Coach Hanley is not satisfied with the team as it stands and hopes to makeits attack more diversified. MAROONS OPTIMISTIC New Spirit on Chicago Campus as Big Game Nears.

Lemme Aids Central for Final Tilt Star Passer May Prove Big Help to Greyhounds Against Chesters. The Indiana Central Greyhound gridmen will close what has been perhaps their most successful season in football history when they pile up against Manchester on the local field at University Heights next Saturday afternoon. Smarting from a 7 to 0 draw from the season closer with the Dunkards last year, the Indiana Central promises a real fight. Coach Good reports that his eleven came through the De Pauw conflict without injuries. With the return of Earl Lemme, last year’s captain and ace passer, much enthusiasm has been aroused in the Central camp and the chances of Lemme’s taking an active part in the fracas next Saturday are encouraging. He was the outstanding offensive cog against Manchester last year. Lemme’s arrival may mean a shakeup in the back field and most certainly gives Coach Good the best choice of efficient backs that he has had this season.

THE outstanding backfield performer in the Rocky Mountain conference this year is Earl (Dutchi Clark of Colorado college.

Clark’s work is keeping his team in the race for title honors of his section.
