PENN CAPTAIN IS OUSTED AS COACH MAKES BIG SHAKEUP

Gentle Hit by Change I Three Other Quaker Regulars Dropped to Subs as Wray Acts. Bu United Preai PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22—The most drastic ? hake up ever attempted on a Penn football squad has been made by Head Coach J. Ludlow Wray as the result of the disappointing showing made against Wisconsin last Saturday. Four varsity players were demoted, including Captain Dick Gentle and Walter Masters, veteran back field combination. Warren Gette also was ousted from his varsity berth, as was Tom Barrett, veteran guard. LINDENBERG CRIPPLED bu 1 nited Prcet NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 22. With all the cripples save Johnny Lindenberg back in uniform, a scrimmage was scheduled today for the Yale squad.

Warner Advises Many Early Plays

BY GLENN S. WARNER, (Stanford Coach and Member All-America Board of Football. One of the questions pertaining to football which is most often discussed where coaches get together, and on which many of them differ, is whether or not it is better to give a team nearly all of its offensive plays just as early and as fast as the player can learn them, or whether to give a team few plays at the start and let them master them perfectly before adding more plays. It is admitted by the coaches who advocated the former method that a team which is given a considerable number of plays at the start of the season will have a rather hard time learning those plays. The players will miss their assignments many times during the first few weeks and the offense of the team given a large assortment of plays will appear to be very ragged in the early games. It must be admitted also that if BULLDOGS BEGIN DRILLS Kirshbaum Bulldogs will hold their first basketball practice of the season at Kirshbaum center at 6:30 this evening. The Bulldogs last year were one of the flashiest-junior teams in the state. All players are requested to report. For games after Nov. 15, please write or call athletic director, Kirshbaum center.

Albie Booth of Yale Is All-Round Grid Star

BY FRANK GETTY . United PreM Snort* Editor NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 22.—1n appraising Albie Booth, who is the main-spring of the Eli machine now being wound up here for the Army game next Saturday, football critics have been inclined to overlook the al-round ability of this chunky little ‘“Townie.’’ Albie is such a spectacular broken field runner, so nimble at sidestepping the lunging behemoths in his path, so deliberate in his use of his Interference and in getting the last word out of those cut-back plays past tackle, that it has become popular to consider him as a great ball

carrier and not much else, Asa matter of fact, the little cuss is great In every department of the game. Naturally he stand/, out as a ball-carrier, because that’s what shows up in the box score. But if Booth had toted his last pigskin, he still would rate a place in any ball club's back field. Asa defensive quarter back, ignoring for the sake of argument his uncanny w ay of dealing with enemy ends, Booth has few equals on the gridiron today. He can catch a football better than he can a basebail, incidentally. And he can tackle opponents who get through the Blue line and set them down with a thump that sometimes leaves them there. 0 0 0 IT is in his footwork once he snatches the punted ball from the air that Albie really excells. He can get into full stride while the

Cathedral Drills for Grid Battle With Bloomington

Another hard workout was on the card for Cathedral's grid pastimers today as the Irish continued preparations for the strong Bloomington eleven Saturday. After special drills on fundamentals for linemen and ball carriers, Coach Dienhart sent his squad through a lengthy scrimmage Tuesday. The Panthers have a strong record this season, while the Irish rate as one of the strongest city teams. A large crowd is expected at Washington park Saturday, as it will be homecoming for the Irish. Four Regulars Hurt With four regulars on the sidelines with slight injuries, Coach Bogue planned to send his Washington eleven through another drill

a coach wants his team to appear particularly well in the first game or two, a few plays well learned will enable his team to make a much better showing in those games, than many plays which can at best be only half baked. However, the coaches who advocate giving their team practically their whole list of plays in the first few weeks of the season claim that their teams get the benefit of the experience in working the plays in the early games. The players learn by experience how to best execute their assignments on the various plays, the captain and field general learn from working the play in competition just how good the plays are and to what extent they can rely upon them to obtain certain results, and the coach finds out which plays are best suited to the make-up of his team. I have found that a few bf my very best plays of one season turn out to be failures perhaps the next season and I have also learned that some plays which for some reason were not winners last year may turn

baffled ends are pulling up and turning after him. From scrimmage, behind his interference in a drive off tackle, Booth runs low and deliberately, reserving his burst of speed for the last moment when he must cut loose for himself. Asa forward passer, Albie is capable, but not unusual. He is a real threat in this respect, at any rate. When It comes to kicking, he is a star at the quick punt from close up to the line of scrimmage, a most effective weapon. His more obvious punts are long and unusually accurate. His drop kicking is above average. It's true that they still hold against Albie Booth his New Haven birthplace—as a “townie” he never can be a social success, and he hasn’t a raccoon coat to his back—but once in moleskin he’s the real aristocrat of this Yale outfit.

out to be the best ground gainers this year. Giving a large assortment of plays to a team early in the season enables the coach to gradually cull out those plays which are not getting any favorable results and by the middle of the season only the good plays remain, so that a field general can hardly make a mistake in choosing a play because all the plays he has at his command have been proven to be good.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

86,000 to See Battle Illinois-Michigan Rivalry Is Expected to Be Close. Bu United P^eaa ANN ARBOR, Oct. 22.—Despite Michigan’s apparent advantage over Illinois in their annual battle here Saturday, the traditional tussle is expected to be close, with spirited competition. Wolverine fans have so much respect for Bob Zuppke, Illinois coach, that the contest promises to draw a capacity crowd of 86,000 spectators. On “dope” Michigan appears to have an excellent chance of avenging the 39 to 14 defeat by Red Grange and his teammates in 1924, but Zuppke’s known ability to “key” inexperienced teams has made Michigan wary, and Coach Kipke will have no trouble in avoiding overconfidence on the Wolverine squad.

Passes Play Important Part in Success of Top Midwest Elevens

by George kirksey United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Oct. 22.—The outstanding feature of middle western football thus far this season has been the important part played by the forward pass in deciding the big games. Notre Dame, Northwestern and Michigan, three of the leaders in this region, owe their October success primarily to successful aerial attacks. Two passes in the last four minutes of play enabled Notre Dame to break a 14-14 deadlock and defeat Southern Methodist, 20-14, in its first game. One of the passes was completed, Marchy Schwartz to Kosky, while the other was ruled completed on the 4-yard line when the umpire called interference on a Southern Methodist half back: From this point Schwartz scored the winning touchdown. Notre Dame’s margin of victory over Carnegie Tech, 21-6. was supplied by two touchdowns scored on forward passes, one of which, Schwartz to Captain Tom Conley, gained fifty yards. After Carnegie had halted Notre Dame’s running game in the second period, a pass, Schwartz to Kosky, gained the first touchdown.

Seven of Northwestern's eight touchdowns made in the Wildcats’ two conference games have been through the air. Northwestern completed six out of ten passes attempted against Ohio State and Illinois, five of them scoring touchdowns. Two intercepted passes accounted for another Northwestern touchdown. Northwestern’s pass combination of Pug Rentner to Frank Baker netted the first two touchdowns in the Wildcats’ 32-0 rout of Illinois and promises to become the greatest aerial threat in the Big Ten since Michigan's famed Friedman-to-Oosterbaan teem. Michigan has used the pass discreetly but effectively. Harry Newman. Michigan's crack young quarter back, threw only two passes against Ohio State, but they led to both of the Wolverines’ touchdowns. One pass, Newman to Simrall, gained fifty-three yards and placed the ball on the 1-yard line, while the other, Newman to Wheeler, gained twenty-one yards and placed the ball on the 19-yard line. One of the two touchdowns scored by Michigan in nosing out Purdue, 14-13, was made on a pass which

gained forty-eight yards, tossed by Newman to Daniels. Wisconsin has a promising aerial attack, but has not as yet been forced to fall back on it for victory. The Badgers completed eight out of fifteen passes against Pennsylvania for 117 yards, and intercepted three of Penn's attempts. A pass. Lusby to Jensen, netted one touchdown in Wisconsin's 27 to 0 trimph over Penn. Inability to combat a dazzling pass attack brought crushing defeat to Minnesota in the Vanderbilt game. After completing a pass which gained fifty-seven yards and the first touchdown of the gafrie Minnesota was blinded by flying footballs the rest of the day and lost, 33-7. Three of Vanderbilt's touchdowns came from completed passes and and another from an intercepted pass. lOWA SOPHS TRIED ft u Uni led Press lOWA CITY, la., Oct. 22.
