OHIO COACHING JOB FRAUGHT WITH PERILS

Winning Football Squad Is Matter of Grave Necessity With Buckeyes, Joe Finds Chief Schmidt Has Produced to Date, but Notre Dame Is Big Test; Francis May Have Alibi If Guy Named Williams Flops. h\ JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK. Nov. I—This department has bepn warned that if Ohio State fail to defeat Notre Dame in the shoot-the-works football game of the week-end, its namesake. Jumping Joe. will promptly resort to legal proof . e to change ni,s name to Geoffrey or Marmaduke. It is humiliating to learn that such a feeling exists, but if it does, Mr. Francis Albert, Schmidt, the old army man who coaches the Ohioans should profit by it. For once the celebrated downtown coaches of Columbus will be equipped with anew outlet for their bitterness. I

mean the coach won't have to take all the blame.

Most coaching jobs are tough but few are fraught with more perils than that at Ohio’s State University. The main reason for this is that the community takes its football with great emotional intensity. in the matter of sports the varsity dominates the entire

community. Its spirit, is high or low In ratio to the team’s success. Here in the Hast because of the many teams and divided sympathies, iootbail emotionalism seldom hits a major beat. One has to go into the Middle West—to Columbus specifically - to experience tlie scorching heat of real football frenzy. From September to late November little else m life matters. 8(1,000 to Look On There will hr 80 000 people in the concrete horseshoe to watch these two giant, unbeaten teams come together head-on tomorrow. It is easy to believe the statement of the athletic offices that, the crowd would reach 180.000 if the seats were available That in itself gives you a faint idea. The night before and the night of the big game out, that way presents a picture of sporting hilarity that is equaled in this country only at the Kentucky Derby, and is equaled nowhere else that I know of in football. As if by general agreement and at a given signal, the community suddenly goes whole-heartedly mad, and remains so until physical exhaustion sets in. The Freudians would interpret this as some sort of release and perhaps it is, but having survived several such terrifying ordeals, I prefer lo set it down simply as a tremendous manifestation of healthy high jinks, if one must go crazy about football, there is no great harm in doing a thorough job of if. And besides, by the following Wednesday, provided the treatments have been expertly administered. the celebrants are just about as good as over. Passes of Every Variety Who'll vin the game? The same thoughtful friends who warned me about the ungracious threat of my namesake, forward comforting tidings to the effect that Mr. Schmidt Is prepared to open up with an attack that ma\ be very bewildering. even to a team of Notre Dame's established class. "You saw some fine forward passing nut here in the days of Harley. Stmeheomb and Workman.” they write, “but until you see the stuff Mils fellow Schmidt docs you wih remain totally uneducated. If his stuff starts to rlick Saturday. state will win by two or three touchdowns.” It develops that Mr. Schmidt, who gamed his first, distinction as a basketball coach, has practically discarded the flashy lateral plays which wcio so much a part of his attack a year ago. Now lie concentrates on forwards, short ones, long ones and m-bet weeners, thrown from all angles The records show more than GO per cent of the passes have been eompleted this year, and that's a high margin for passes, even with loaded dire. Still it is well to remember in

this connection that a team that throws the ball around a lot is always inviting trouble. It is never | easy to pass with any sustained success against alert opposition, and Mr. Elmer Layden’s young men j from South Bend must be accounted reasonably alert, at least. An ! intercepted pass might easily swing the issue in this ball game. Irish No Setup Notre Dame is definitely on the way back to the old Rockne heights, |as its successive victories over Pittsburgh and Navy demonstrated, but none of the observers have decided it is a really great team. On the other hand, practically every critic who has looked at the "House of Davey Boys” have come away drooling superlatives. This includes coaches like Berl nie Bierman of Minnesota. Bob Zuppke of Illinois and Bo McMillin of Indiana. If these men, competing in the same conference, do not i know a great team when they see j one. who does? On this consideraj tion alone I think you are entitled i to accept the Ohioans as a great team until the result on the score- ; board convinces you they aren't. Picks Ray Steele for Laditzi Mix California Grappler Given Main Go Match. Ray Steele. 218, crack California | grappler who is near the top of the I heap in heavyweight circles, has ; agreed to come to Indianapolis to | battle “Rowdy” Rudy Laditzi, 235, i at the Armory next Tuesday night. ! Steele holds victories over pracj tically every well known wrestler with the exception of Danno O’Malioncy. One of his outstanding performances was a draw with Jim i Londos in a boat which saw both J wrestlers annex a fall. , Laditzi, the New Yorker, has j roughed his way to three consecu- | tive triumphs here. Rudy is known in the East as the “Hungarian Butcher" and since invading the Middle West has acquired the name of “George Zaharias No. 2.” Jack Warner, 218, will return to the local mat to meet Rudy Strong- | berg, 229. in one of the supporting attractions on the Hercules A. C. ! bill. Another match is to be arj ranged. I Pirate Backstop in Critical Condition Times Special MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Nov.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I that many persons formed the opinion that Muncie would win the title, even though the Bearcats wer® defeated bv both Newcastle and Technical of Indianapolis. The Newcastle Trojans, with three victories and no defeats, have a percentage of 23.33. If they lose to Kokomo, the Trojans will finish with a total of 21.25 points. The point standing of the Muncie j Bearcats is 17.50. which relegates 1 them to third place. Kokomo is in second place with one game won, one lost and one tied. Techn.cal of Indianapolis has only three conference games | scheduled this year and Jefferson of Lafayette two, so neither team i can figure in the championship di- : vision. The requirement is four i games. CONTINENTAL PLEBES WIN Washington High School's freshman football team defeated Southport's frosh yesterday, 13 tofi. Roth’s playing featured for the Contineni tals.
