would bring coaches bowls and bonuses. Teams hopped on the band-wagon for a T party. Ingenuity in offense has always bred an equalizing intelligence by defense. It happened to the doublewing, to the Notre Dame shift and it happened to the T in 1941.
Many coaches predicted their T defense on the homely philosophy that the best way to jam the works was to throw six and seven-man lines into the complicated setup and

It was acclaimed as a football panacea—a magical cure-all that
| to concentrate upon the key man—
the ball-handler.
It was felt in some quarters that a five-man line was inadequate to cope with the powerful running threat of the T. The man-in-mo-tion, which put a burden on the defense, the faking into the line, brush and angle blocking and mousetrapping possibilities made a five-man setup precarious. Coaches felt that while a sevenman line opened up passing opportunities, the best defense was to rush the passer. Red Blaik, when coaching Dartmouth, threw a seven-man line against Yale's superb passer, Clint Frank. He believed that harrassing Frank was sounder than deploying into a five-man line for pass defense. Stanford had a mediocre season, and two of its defeats could be traced to adroit defense. Washington State and California concentrated their defense fire on Frankie Albert, who handled the ball on every play. The Cougars slashed their giant ends, Dale Gentry and Nick Susveff, at Albert. The Golden Bears set Bob Reinhard, their outstanding tackle, on Albert. The Chicago Bears went on scoring orgies against five and six-man lines. They averaged better than 36 points per game. Curley Lambeau of the Green Bay Packers pitted a seven-man line against the garantua of Windy City with ends covering the man-in-mo-tion and passes in the flat. Packer linemen smashed at Sid Luckman, just as coast teams concentrated on, Albert. Rushing linemen counteracted the increased vulnerability to passes. The Bears suffered their only defeat of the season. Any football coach will tell you the T is a sound offense when it is manned by suitable personnel. It needs great ball-handlers like Luckman and Albert, a great plunger like Norm Stangllee of the Bears, a harddriving butker like Hugh Gallarneau of the same club and speed-merch-ants like George McAfee of the Bears and Pete Kmetovic of Stanord. Coaches had devised sound defenses, players lost their jitters at

Head Pin Is Better First
By JOE FALCARO “Greatest Match Game Bowler”
WHETHER to use spot or head pin bowling is a question which has plagued bowlers for years. Each method has its proponents. Spot bowling is more difficult. It takes for granted that delivery is grooved. The kegler concentrates-on the spot where he plans to set down the ball. He looks at the pins only during the first two steps of the approach. He then concentrates entirely on the spot and ignores the pins until after he has delivered the ball. ” s ” THE HEAD pin bowler looks at the pins, then draws an imaginary line from the pocket to a spot on the alley where he plans to set down the ball. But ine stead of watching the spot in his approach, he concentrates on the pins. . A good many bowlers combine the two. They watch the spot and use the pins as a background. Beginners should be wary of spot bowling until their delivery is grooved. Most spot bowlers set their ball eight to 12 boards from the right-hand gutter, depending on alley conditions and the degree of break in their hook. Obviously, a novice, whose delivery may vary widely and whose hook is usually erratic, cannot profitably spot bowl.

Grayson Questions Choice of Bulldogs
Quiet Ott as Giant Manager
By HARRY
GRAYSON
Times Special Writer y NEW YORK, Dec. 8—While nobody could possibly dislike Mel Oakland City at Indiana State.
Ott, the Little Belter of the Bayous is the last man in the world that |
anybody other than Horace C. Stoneham and Bill Terry would make
manager of the New York Giants.
It is difficult to imagine an aggressive pack of Polo Grounders
under the direction of the quiet and reticent Ott.
Wonder of John MeGraw’s day cracking down on a group of shiftless slaves. Or charging an umpire, or nest of them, which every manager has to do now and then. Ott was put out of exactly one game in 16 years, and then it was more or less of a mistake.
Other Would Be Better
Any baseball man will tell you that fiery Dick Bartell would have been a better choice. And that Horace Stoneham would have been much wiser had he carried out his announced intention of last summer and brought in Frank O'Doul from San Francisco. Lefty O’Doul has demonstrated that he can find and develop ball players, and ball players happen to be what the Giants need most. Frankly, one suspects that Ott was as much Terry's appointment as he was President Stoneham’s. It was no trick to sell Ott to Stoneham. Ottie always has been Stoneham’s favorite, as well he might because of long, faithful and brilliant service. But Ott’s only experience as a leader was obtained as team captain for a couple of years, the duties of whom were no more than handling the batting order to the umpire-in-chief. And. it goes without saying that managing a big league club calls for vastly more than that.
Two Years of Terry
In the end, the Giants wind up with two more years of Terry instead of one. As manager of farm clubs and general superintendent, Chillie Willie, poor fellow, has to struggle along at $30,000 in place of the $42,500 he collected in a dual capacity.
More than ever Terry's trick is to locate ball players. Offhand, 1 would say that he got off to a poor start, as usual, in bringing back hard-to-handle Hank Leiber, on whom he once gave up and who last season suffered his second bad beaning. Ott’s first act was to release Pancho Snyder as coach. That at least means that there will be less conversation about Herford cattle with the Giants. Perhaps it was Ott’s idea that the Giants and himself would be better off if Bill Terry talked more baseball and less about white-faced cows. Outside of that, the best thing about the naming of Mel Ott is that the Giants now have a manager with whom you can talk Wis suffering from frost ite.
fervor than collegiana.
Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears has made the current race the most spectacular and hotlycontested in professional history. The stakes are as high as the competition is stiff. The players take 70 per cent of the league championship game gate and that means about $140,000 this year. The winners will play in an allstar game in Los Angeles, Jan. 4, at game salaries which adds about $20,000. Bears Draw 150,000
League champions draw heavily in exhibtion games before the regular season. This fall, the Bears played before 150,000 in such contests. It is safe to estimate that it will be worth $75,000 in exhibtion cuts to the players next fall,
The champion also plays in the annual Chicago charity game against a collegiate all-star team at double pay. That adds another $40,000 Last year in Washington, the Bears netted $873.99 per head. Despite the relatively small capacity of Griffith Stadium, Washington's losers picked up $606.25 each. The ante should top $1000 per player this season. A crowd of 46,484 jammed Wrigley Field for the second Bear-Packer game, At championship prices, that will give participants a healthy cut. Green Bay officials insist that if the Packers win the playoff, the title game will be played in their home park and not in neutral Milwaukee, Packers’ Stadium holds only 24.000 but a $6.60 top price would be in effect, which means practically every seat in the park will sell at that figure. As far as the Giants are concerned, it won't make a lot of difference financially where the
