Big City Boys Learn How
COACH MAL STEVENS admits being puzzled himself over why N. Y. U. always seems to have outstanding passers, while it frequently
lacks good running backs.
The theory has been offered that New York City kids, playing on . concrete pavement, go in: for touch football, instead of the contact game kids play in country fields, and that the ¢ to tossing the'ball around more than running with it: The same theory has been advanced in explaining why New York * City turns out so many capable basketball players.

Coach Working Saturday Night on His Next Game
job-hunting again.
By ELMER LAYDEN Notre Dame Football Coach’ SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 30.— “1 saw your piece in the paper,” said Dopester Dan, downtown coach and grandstand quarterback. “The one about what goes on between halves of a football game. Now tell what happers before the game —off field, behind doors.” The preparation for next Saturday’s game began "right after last Saturday's game. A When he heard the last whistle, the coach began at once to take stock of the good and bad points of his team’s play in, relation to the game coming up. : That evening, while Elmer Laydeh his week-end guests were enjoying themselves socially, he turned up missing. He was in some manner huddled over a bundle of scouting notes. A Program by Noon The next day and a half he was busy working ou: this week’s training program. He pored over diagrams and observations. He held repeated conferences with his scouts. Pictures of last year’s game with Army were reviewed, not once but several times. The movies of last Saturday’s game were run as often as time permitted. By Monday noon, when he met with the squad, at least a tentative
plan had been decided upon. The],
regular week-day program had been varied to allow for emphasis on special preparations for the next opponent and on correction of errors and weaknesses developed by the last one. » If Army’s passing, for example, is considered especially potent, stress will be put on rushing the passer and on downfield pass defense. Maybe Army kicks go motably high and far—special work on returns is indicated. Let's say last Saturday's game with Tech revealed raggedness in Huing Fgh time must. be spent in signal drill And so on. , “Time Is Short At the Monday noon meeting the head coach reviewed last Saturday’s game and ske the plan for the next game. cluded pointing out the repo strength and weaknesses of the opponent’s personnel, formations and plays. the end of the meeting, mimeographed sheets containing this information in detail were distributed to the paves. |

Some coaches visualize their strategy in other ways.

When one of the assistants swept the board clear, our scout concluded they weren't playing checkers.
There’s No Relaxing
The point is, the coaches dare not relax until the battle is over. During the week, usually on .the field, I have a special strategy confab with our quarterbacks. Satur¢day morning we have a brush-up meeting. On some occasions we may assemble the squad, not in uniform, to walk through their assignments. Just before the game we issue final instructions.

Poets and song writers always are going" on about “the luck of the Irish,” and while that phrase seemingly could be applied with ease to the current Notre Dame football team, there is a feeling today that maybe this doesn’t explain all. Possibly the word “opportunism” would be a happier choice than “luck” in this case. While no one is going to contend that the football fates have gone But of their way to give Notre Dame bad breaks’ this season, still, a squad has to have something more than a magic wand to win five straight games against teams classed as among the toughest in the country. But the record is amazing. In these five games Notre Dame has scored a-total of 61 points, as compared with 46 for its opponents. This means that the average margin of victory, per game, for the Irish was three points.
No Charity Work
Against Purdue and Georgia Tech a field goal turned the trick each time for Notre Dame. It was the point after touchdown which beat
day and Southern Methodist two weeks before, while - only against Navy was Notre Dame clearly out in front by a touchdown and a successful conversion. There never was a Notre Dame team quite like this. Although the Irish in.the past always kept from running up humiliating scores over
53 | weaker opponents, they are not
doing any charity work this season. Of the teams played, only Navy was hopelessly outclassed, while up until the timer ended things, the other teams were harder to get along with than a hungry native chieftain. If you thrilled to the old-time

Miss Green was geeded No. 1, Miss Studer No. 2. Charles Tichenor, eliminated by Shrout in the men’s ‘semi-finals, won the boys’ championship, while Don Studer of Columbus, O., won in the veterans’ division. - Downs and Sterling Mitchell were victors in the men’s doubles, while Downs and Miss Green paired to triumph in the mixed doubles.

movie plot that had the cavalry arriving just as they were about: to feed the hero to the saw mill, these tilts must be doing a lot for you.
McIntyre Takes His Cue Take that Carnegie Tech affair. William Howard Kerr, Irish left end, caught Merlyn Condit’s fumble in the third quarter while the ball still was in the air and sprinted 21 yards for a touchdown. Then Lou Zontini added the fateful point after touchdown. - When Condit drove six yards for the Tartan’s touchdown in the last period, the 68,000 spectators converted the giant Pitt stadium into an outdoor ~ psyghopathic ward. George Muha prepared for the kick, and that was the cue for John Aloysius McIntyre, Notre ‘Dame center, to come to the rescue. He blocked the kick with his nose, and while it doesn’t add much to a player’s poise to stop;a football that way, this was the move that saved the day. For the first time then it made some sense when the headline writers said: “Notre Dame noses out Carnegie Tech, 7-6.”
Preparing for Trojans If Coach Elmer Layden wasn’t a calm man he wouldn't have any finger nails or maybe even any fingers left by this time. But Elmer the Great takes a different view of these matters. Winning by a point or two is better for a team than rolling up a vast margin of victory, he thinks. The close ones chasten the players—keep them from becoming ov verconfident and sluggish. Next Saturday the Irish meet the Army at New York, but at South Bend they are pointing for Nov. 25 when Southern California comes to play on the Notre Dame home field. The Trojans were the only ones to spoil ‘Notre Dame's record last Sea-

The undefeated Pendleton Red Raiders waited just as long as they could before scoring a touchdown to gain a 6-6 deadlock with unbeaten Shawnee A, C. in a Smith-

Steffey went over from the 2-yard line: to score for the Red Raiders on the final play of the game -after-a penalty on Shawnee had put the ball on the 5-yard line and set the stage for the score. Shawnee was penalized for excessive time outs. Shawnee’s touchdown came in the first period on a 15-yard right-end gallop by Wilson. Neither team threatened in the second and third quarters. : Beech Grove was defeated by Greenfield, 13-0, in a game at Greenfield. Frank Welton scored all the Greenfield points, counting two

In a game that is played with a ball that bounces as funny as a football does, that is some record. 3 # t 4 f J Bo the Beaut, known formally as A. N. McMillin, Indiana University coach, mingled sneers with sly smiles at Columbus, Q. Saturday, and by this simple means struck terror in the hearts of those around him. Indiana plays Ohio State at Columbus Saturday. Early in the season tender-hearted fans sympathized with the Hoosiers because they had such a rugged foe on their game budget. Now more people are beginning to feel sorry for Ohio State. ‘Since Indiana had an open date last Saturday, Coach McMillin personally scouted the Ohio State-Cor-nell game, which Cornell won, 23 to 14. What he saw was a big Buck team with a 14-point lead suddenly go limp on pass defense in the second half. Of course; McMillin would have frightened a lot "of people anyhow because he carried more field glasses, pencils, boards and other equipment than a British general's orderly.

Turf Fans Wait
Pimlico Special
By UNITED PRESS The eyes of the turf world turn this week to Baltimore where Maryland’s Challedon, Kentucky's Cravat and Argentina's Kayak II meet Wednesday in the Pimlico Special to determine which shall wear the crown that goes to America’s “horse of the year.” There are only a handful of major stakes left on the national program as the autumn season draws to a close and the special is the biggest. The three great thoroughbreds, who will match strides around the old hill{op track, have beaten every important horse in the country. The way for the special was cleared "Saturday when more than $100,000 in stakes was distributed at six tracks from coast to coast. The major event, third running of the $25,000-added New England Futurity at Narragansett Park, lost some of its importance when Col. E. R. Bradley’s undefeated Bimelech was scratched from the muddy track, but a previously unheralded colt displayed, great potentialities in splashing to a four-length victory. It was Mrs. Parker Corning'’s Straight Lead all the way over the mile and 70-yard route for his third triumph in six starts. Belair Stud’s Fenelon was second and Dusky Duke third in the field of six.

| NEW YORK, Oct. 30. — Eleven .
teams came out of the mid-season scramble today with a chance for the national football championship. Some have been tied but none has been beaten. As they move into November and the tough games ahead, this is about the way they rate: ° 1, Tennessee; 2, Michigan; 3, Notre

ern California; 6, Tulane; 7, Okla-
-|{homa; 8, Nebraska; 9, Cornell; 10, .
Oregon State; 11, North Carolina. There is a general idea around that Tennessee and Michigan are the pick of the country, but probably any of the 11 teams would be an even money bet against any other. That theory will be tested this Sate urday ' when Southern California meets Oregon State at Forilang in the game of the day.
. Here Are Their Records
That game probably will decide the Western representative for the Rose Bowl. Southern California has defeated Washington State, Illinois and California and has tied Oregon. Oregon State has defeated Stanford, Idaho, Portland, Washington and Washington State. Of the remaining top 11 teams only Tennessee and Texas A. & M., have trouble ahead this Saturday. Tennessee meets a powerful, ree sourceful Louisiana State team and ’ Texas A. & M. goes against an Are kansas squad that is better than its record. Other games involving the ranking teams: Notre Dame-Army, Michigan-Tili« nois, Oklahoma-Iowa State, Ne braska-Missouri, Cornell-Columbis, North Carolina -North Caroling State. Tulane has an open date.
