LAST SATURDAY, in this column, Bob Zuppke, University of Iliinois football coach, declared huddle quarterbacking is superior to barking signals and explained in more or less detail why he prefers the former system. Comes now Ray Morrison, Temple University grid mentor on the opposite side of the fence.
In undergraduate days Morrison performed at quarterback for Sa nderbilt and was the sole judge of what play to call. . He cts that the huddle is on its way out of the picture and even says Ray, there will be more college teams abandoning rence” se of shifting defenses,” says Morrison, “the huddle is ng into discard. In present-day football, one minute the defense six-man and then as the attacking eleven comes 1uddie after calling for a play that it thinks will work such a defense, the opposition switches into a five, yes, a four-man line, against which the original play won't all. Thus confusion thrown into the offensive team, for the terback must either run the play and lose ground, else check Is and causing every man to change his assignment. limination of the huddle is going to bring about more a game, which will give the spectators added thrills. Temple this year we'll probably use the huddle for the first the season, but if I uncover a quarterback who, to me, to direct a team, then I'm going to switch and let

DECIDED FLAIR for the bizarre has stamped Rizzo's big league homer-hitting career from the start. . . . In that fine freshman year of his with the Pirates, 1938, he set a new all-time senior loop record by hitting official National League homers in nine different ball parks in one season. That year the Phillies moved in ored Baker Bowl to their present home, Shibe Park. On way to setting all-time Pirate homer history, Rizzo hit homers both of the Phillies’ home parks as well as in his own home Forbes Field, and the other six orchids of the senior jor oop The previous record was eight. . . . John’s nine will stand for a time to come, at least until the next time some National ue club changes its home address in midseason.

Gehrig Sues For Million
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (U. P.). -“ Lou Gehrig, former first baseman! of the New York Yankees, has filed suit for $1,000,000 against the New York Daily News and its sports editor, Jimmy Powers, charging that a story published in the | News Aug. 18 damaged him to that! extent by sug-| gesting that he had exposed the baseball team to poliomyelitis. Gehrig, played with the Yankees from] 1923 to 1939, and is now a New 2 York City parole §: commissioner, charged: “That the facts] stated in said] publication were wholly false and] that by means of} said publication! the plaintiff was| greatly injured in his credit and! reputation and in the social intercourse with his friends and suffered great pain and mental anguish to! his damage in the sum of $1,000,000. The article to which Gehrig took exception was signed by Powers un- | der the heading: “Has ‘Polio’ Hit the Yankees?” Noting that the Yankees, for four years “one of the greatest baseball machines in his- | tory,” had slumped greatly, the story continued: “Has the mysterious ‘Polio’ germ | which felled Lou Gehrig also struck his former teammates, turning a once-great team into a floundering | non-contender? According to ov er-| whelming opinion of the medical! profession, poliomyelitis, similar to! infantile paralysis, is communica- | ble. The Yanks were exposed to it at its most acute stage. They played ball with the afflicted Geh.- | rig, dressed and undressed in the! locker room with him, traveled,| played cards and ate with him. Isn't | it possible that some of them also became infected?” Gehrig's petition denied he was| suffering from “a communicable] and infectious disease” or that he! had infected other members of ihe! team.

Redskins Play Here Tonight
AFTER WINNING their last road game of the season at Toledo last night, the Indianapolis Red= skins returned home today to remain until the curtain falls on the American Association's regular race. First action on the slate will be the playoff of a postponed game with Columbus under the lights at Perry Stadium tonight at 8:15 o'clock. Bob Logan, Tribe ace who lost a tough 1-to-0 decision to the Red Birds in Columbus last Friday, probably will receive the mound assignment tonight and will be shooting for his 18th victory. The Indians’ remaining schedule calls for the following games: Tonight—Columbus Red Birds. Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday—Toledo Mud Hens. Saturday and Sunday—Colume bus Red Birds. The Sabbath card, the 1940 finale, calls for a doubleheader. Columbus, in second place, has just an outside chance of overtaking the league-leading Blues who are 4!', games in front. The Blues have seven more games to play, the Reds Birds the same number, The Indians won four games and lost five on their last swing through the Eastern section of the circuit. They annexed two and lost one at Louisville, won one and lost two at Columbus and won one and lost two at Toledo. It was a waltz for the Tribesters at Toledo last night as they swamped the Mud Hens, 13 to 3. The Hens fell apart in the field and committed six errors. The Indians took advantage of every break and scored eight runs in the second inning. This huge rally was sparked by Gil Brack's home run with two on. Red Barrett lasted the route on the Tribe mound as his mates collected 12 blows. Kimberlin, Wade and Cox toiled on the Toledo rubber, Barrett allowed nine hits, struck out eight and walked two. Brack batted in four of the Tribe's 13 markers.
