Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—From the standpoint of box office success professional football doesn't rank with the major sports, but the game is still being played on an organized scale and I note that it is of sufficient interest technically to lure college coaches on their days off. a a a I hre mort than one coUere coach In the stand* at the Polo Ground* watchmr the New Torker* and their opposition in action and It I* ray *uplclon that they were there to ttudy the finished fundamental work salaried players Invariably show, rather than to bask In the zippy breezes from the Harlem river. ana Whatever cite the pro (tame may lack It comes close to perfection In the ba.-,lc paterns of football techniaue, and I supoore It Is true, as most experts claim, that a yell trained team of pros would prove more than a match for any college eleven. a a a Nevertheless, this Is one of those popular theories I should like to see subjected to the test es actuality before placing a mortgage on the . yacht, the Southampton estate and my string of polo ponies for wagering purposes. a a a WILLIAM ULLMAN, who has seen a lot of football played on sundry football fields, has favored me with an interesting monograph on the subject. a a a He writes: "The most outstanding fault of the pros Is their lack of effort and ardor In taking out the opposing secondaries on th- offense. This fault is particularly glaring from the stands, causing pile ups which retard the speed of the game and gives the spectator a feeling of sluggishness as contrasted with the sharp viciousness of the collegiate game. This point Is also applicable to the tackling of the pros which Is neither cleanly nor enthusiastically done. In short, the pros seem and no doubt do lack the spirit of what John McGraw oneo called "The Old Coflege Try.” a a a "At the same time. I think these points i ould be corrected provided the proper incentive existed. When it comes to passing the ball. X believe the pros conceive end execute these plays with much greater skill and sagacity than the collegians. On the average. T should say that infinitely better football from the standpoint of execution and natural ability was seen at. the Polo grounds the other day than at the average college game, or even the nbove-the-average college game. a a a "This marked ability of the pros derrrases the suspense and uncertainty that is felt at the college games, but Increases tbe high tone of the play. It la inconceivable, for example, to picture Benny Friedman with his team leading by six points and a few minutes to play throwing a pass madly and thus Inviting the fatal eonseauences that rode with Tonsneeker’s heave into Tloot Etits’ arms at the Yale Bowl a year ago. The pros Just don’t play that kind of football.
“ \ NOTHER example: In. the IX. game*the 'other day the New York team had the ball on fourth down with fourteen yards to go. It was an interesting situation. What would be the play? Friedman shot a short pass to Haggerty. It worked for a first down and a subsequent touchdown. In a similar situation the college quarter back would have done the expected —a long grounded telegraphed pass into the end zone. Carideo of Notre Dame and Wood of Harvard and Dobbs of Tennessee might ha ve had the subtlety to do something different, but there aren’t many of those around. a a a "The chief handicap professional football faces at present I think is that the customers are not football savvy. We arc baseball wise, but football Ignorant. I think this is a true statement in spite of the millions who annuaUv attend names from coast to coast. Football draws because the color, the dramatic appeal, and the old grid sentiment is tremendous. ana "That only a scattered few know what football is all about was demonstrated ten days ago when a touchdown was iUenally scored by Tale against Georgia and. as you later pointed out. 50,000 people sat in the stands none the wiser. Not to mention the players, the press box experts and the coaches themealves. Surely there can’t be much over-emphasis of football if after all these years the rules of the game are still unknown to practicaUy everybody.’' DAVIS COPS SINGLES Davis, with 18 of 25 targets, was high gun in the singles event at the Spring Lake Skeet Club shoot Monday. A. Smith and Wiese tied for second with 17.

70,000 TO WITNESS NOTRE DAME-PITT GRID CLASSIC
Irish Face Vet Eleven Panthers, Unbeaten in Four Starts, to Have Full Strength. Bv Timet Soecial PITTSBURGH. Oct. 21. The University of Pittsburgh Panthers, fresh from their triumph over the strong Syracuse eleven, their fourth consecutive win of the season against no defeats, hope to have full strength available whjn Knute Rockne brings his national title bound Notre Dame squad here Saturday. For the first time the Panthers will be playing before a capacity crowd in their home stadium, which seats 70,000, according to reports from the local ticket office. Only a few ducats remain. Coach Jock Sutherland has molded another strong aggregation, built around Captain Eddie Baker, fleet quarter back. Several other veterans also are in the lineup. Good Talent at Ends Three lettermen are available for ends and Sutherland is more than satisfied w’ith his wings despite the loss of Joe Donchess, all-America. Hirschberg and Collins, playing their third seasons, arc battling for one side, while MacMurdo, a tackle last year, has been moved into Donchess’ place and is understudied by Ted Daily, sophomore. Quatse is the star tackle, with Chuck Tally, another third-year man, on the other side. H. Morris and Lewis are the regular guards while Daugherty performs at center". The line averages 178 pounds. All of Pitt’s first string backs are capable passers. Franklin Hood, 200-pound crashing full back, is the star of the lot and can hurl the pigskin accurately for seventy yards. Josh Williams, half, is a southpaw, while Warren Heller, his running mate, also is an accurate tosser. Captain Is Versatile Captain Baker is a good receiver as well as passer. Baker has displayed a versatility that has surprised Pitt coaches. He scored his first touchdown in three years of competition in the first game. He does a big share of the pass throwing, does'all the kicking, including kicks-off, punts, tries from placement, is the star blocker of the back field, an excellent field general, leading scorer, and on the defense, a dependable safety man. The varsity back field averages 175 pounds, and possesses abundant speed and deception. Reserve backs are Walinchus, Brown, Reider, Kelly and Sekay, halves; Clark, Luch and Wagner, fulls, and Alpert and Cutri, quarters. • ONLY ONE SCRIMMAGE SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 21— Notre Dame will hold only one scrimmage preparatory to Saturday’s clash with Pittsburgh. Coach Rockne is well satisfied with the team's showing in its three previous inter-sectional games and plans to take no chances on Injuries.

Sacrifice Fly Is on Way Out Bu Vnited Press CHICAGO. Oct. 21.—Elimination of the sacrifice fly from baseball scoring will be recommended to the joint rules committee at their next meeting. Under the present rules, any fly or *oul fly ball that advances a runner after the catch, whether it was meant to do so or not, is scored as a sacrifice hit and the batter is not charged with a time at bat. The balk rule, which resulted in considerable confusion in the American League early in the 1930 campaign. also may be rewritten. President E. S. Barnard favors a rule compelling the pitcher, with men on base, to come to a definite stop to be known as his “pitching position” before delivering the ball.

Again Carideo is performing in well-nigh flawless fashion.

hero of Northwestern’s 19-2 victory over Ohio State and shared honors with Frank Baker and Pug Retner in his team’s rout of Illinois, 32-0. Hanley is a hard runner and a good passer and kicker. Three brilliant sophomore quarter backs already have w’on their spurs in Big Ten competition before the end of October. They are Harry Newman, Michigati, Chuck Goldenberg, Wisconsin, and Lewis Hinchman, Ohio State. Perhaps the best of this trio is Newman, hailed as another Benny Friedman after his intelligent handling of the Michigan eleven against Ohio State last w 7 eek. But for Newman’s clever direction, Michigan might have been held to a scoreless tie instead of winning, 13-0. Newman is hailed as the greatest passer at Michigan since Benny Friedman’s day.

Harry Dillon
only two passes against Ohio State, but he completed both of them, one for a gain of fifty-three yards, and another for a gain of twenty-one yards, and each resulted in a touchdown. Like Friedman, Newman is a Hebrew. Goldenberg seems to be one of the best all-round backs in the Big Ten, being a great blocker, as well as ball-carrier, and good field general. Under Glenn Thistlethwaite’s system, Goldenberg performs a dual role of quarter back and full back, calling signals, blocking and carrying the balls on short stabs into the line. Hinchman’s work at Ohio State has been a bit erratic, because he hasn’t* been able to get the best out of his team when it's in scoring distance. However, Ohio State, under his direction, probably has gained more ground in Big Ten competition than any other eleven. A fine quarter back who undoubtedly would shine more brightly on a better team, is Paul Stagg of Chicago, son of Coach A. A. Stagg. Stagg is the brains of the Chicago team, and has most of the Maroons’ plays built around him. He is a good passer and receiver. Captain Win Brockmeyer of Minnesota is another good quarter back in this section. He is a splendid open field runner and a good se-' lector of plays. Jack White of Purdue, a dangerous runner, completes the list of this sector's best quarterbacks.
