SCOUTING DEBUNKED

MOST PLAYS ARE ELEMENTARY

S. D. Mo

OTBALL scouting, to which many fans attach a great ~ deal of importance, is somewhat debunked by Walter

Gordon, ‘scout on the Coast.

California operative who is considered the best

Each week when he returns from a game he turns all his information over to Stub Allison. . . . The Golden Bear coach pares it down . . . uses very little of it.

“The only importance of a

scouting report,” says Gor-

don, “is to help a coach plan his offense so that he can direct it at any weaknesses noted in the report. The scout should be concerned not with plays, but with players. “Usually, an opponent's plays are elementary knowl-

edge. What we want to know

are the peculiarities of in-

aividug’s... their strength and weaknesses.”

Williams Hears New One As Grads Whoop It Up

By JOE WILLIAMS

Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—It seems that almost some sort of football rally where the old grads are before the evening has run its noisy, will get up and say, “I don’t know whether

_ variably

but——",

And then he will go on and tell that

every night we are at whooping it up and inbleary gamut some speaker you've heard this one or not,

one about the coach who was

saving a fresh conceited half back for the junior prom, or some other

yarn of similar vintage, and the grads will start heading for the tap room or the street because they know what is coming. A year or so ago we heard Marshall Goldberg, the Pittsburgh star, tell a fictional story about himself. He pretended he had found the city customs and manners much _different than those which existed back in the West Virginia hills where he came from. “I wrote my dad that since I had come to the city I had started to wear shoes, and a couple of days later I got a letter from him in which he asked, ‘Son, what are shoes?’ ”» : We have heard at least 10 other football players tell this same story on themselves this year. It may not be very good but at least it is clean.

We heard a reasonably new story the other night, though no doubt it merely seemed new to us. Fordham was playing N. Y. U. last year. In the second quarter N. Y. U. started throwing passes, and their right end, a fellow named Dunney, we believe, was picking them out of the air with rare skill. The Fordham defenders couldn’t handle him. Presently Jim Crowley, the Fordham coach, sent in a sophomore

Just before he sent him in he said:

“Now, all I want you to do is keep your eyes on Dunney. I don’t want you to block or tackle or do anything else. All I want ‘keep your eyes glued on that fellow.”

you to do is

The game was resumed with the

new man in the Fordham backfield. N. Y. U. continued to throw passes and Dunney continued to catch them. To be specific he caught six more and the last one was good for a touchdown which put N., Y. U. back in the ball game,

members of the Tech line.

By LEO DAUGHERTY Mr. Robert L. Nipper and Mr.

| Robert L. Ball were sitting together at a meeting of football officials and 3

they were chatting just as the two best of friends would. Until the issue was forced upon them, neither Mr. Nipper nor Mr. Ball mentioned the fact that their respective Shortridge Blue Devils

‘and Tech Greens will meet at Tech

Field Friday for the public high school football championship. “No, I didn’t talk to Bob about the game,” said Mr. Nipper. “Why should I? When the bell rings it will be dog eat dog.” “And I haven't talked to Bob

Hoping to “hold that line” when the Left to ri

Ball. Who is going to win? “Shortridge,” answered Mr. Ball as quickly as he could. “It’s a city series championship game. Anything can happen,” said Mr. Nipper. “Oh; yes,” continued Mr. Nipper. “All our kids are in shape but Bunce Johnson. Tech’s a whole lot bigger.” “Maybe so,” said Tech's Bob. “But look at all the backs you have. Jim Mitchell, Johnny Allerdice, Bob Scott, Dave Smith, Kenny Smock. Bob Shade, Joe Shedron and Jim Miller. I have one, Charley Howard, and I know that bunch of yours is

going to cover him all afternoon. limping. Warren Huffman’s knee The only others I have are Jimmy they're both little fellows.”

ton’s Continentals, who have been drubbed by both Shortridge and Tech, was sitting nearby betting five cigars to an ice cream cone that “Shortridge will eat ‘em up.” “If we get a good day, Bob, we ought to have about 9000 people there,” said. Ball to “the Nipper. “We’ve got your bleachers along with some others and we've surrounded the lot with seats, even at the end zones.” “Say, we split the gate, don’t we?” asked Nipper. Neither one was very eager about getting back to cases. They smiled when asked whether or not they had been spying on each other all year and whether they would have some new stuff to spring in the title tiff.

Tech Holds Edge in Series With Blue

“These are just high schaol teams,” Nipper reminded. “Outside of straight football you can teach them to perfect about three redhot plays in a season. Then in a game like this one where the crowd's big and the tension is increased, you never know what they're going to do. Isn't that right, Bob?” The Bob who was asked the question—that’'s Tech's Bob Ball—replied with a wish that they'd have a fast, dry field and the query of “Why has Manual lost so many games?” - en And both joined the other coaches and officials in a discussion of plays which already have been played this season. Friday’s battle for the crown which the Broad Ripple Rockets won last year, will be the 19th between Shortridge and Tech and the fourth between them since Nipper and Ball have been at their respective helms. , Tech has won nine times, Shortridge seven and two games have ended in ties. , In the Nipper vs. Ball competi-

Shortridge won permanent possession of a silver trophy which had been offered by the City School Commissioners to the team winning the city championship five times in 1935 when the Blue Devils and Big Green met, each with a record of four championships. Shortridge won, 19 to 6. The Blue Devils and Tech come up for this one each with a record of two victories against no defeats in city competition. Shortridge has defeated Broad Ripple and Washington, while Tech has trimmed Manual and Washington. In all competition this year, Shortridge has won seven and lost one to Lafayette Jefferson. Tech has won four and lost three, to Jeff, Muncie and Anderson. Tech-Shortridge record fol-

other local school teams.

The other most important contest on the list'is that between Washington and Manual at Washington. The Redskins have three big aims for victory. If they win they will avenge last year’s 45-to-0 lacing; they will tie the loser of the Short-ridge-Tech battle for second place in the city series and they will even their record for the season with four victories against as many setbacks. Broad Ripple doesn’t have a city series game on tap and winds up in the league with no victories against two defeats. But when the Rockets meet the Silent Hoosiers at Broad Ripple Friday, the Rockets will be after their sixth success in nine games. ; Cathedral's Irish will be at Delavan Smith Field with Ft. Wayne North Side as their foe. They have a tough one to bowl over in their quest for their seventh victory on a nine-game schedule.
