OUT OF STOCKTON, Calif., where one of football's grand old men is teaching football and building char- acter, comes an interesting observa- tion, to wit: that the forward pass is the outstanding contribution to foot- ball. The man is Amos .lonzo Stagg, who-when he coached at the Univer- sity of Chicago-was one of a quad- rumvirate of genuine strategists. The other three were Doc Williams, Min- nesota, Fielding H. Yost, Michigan and Robert Zuppke, Illinois, and they built grid machines which eventually grew into million-dollar businesses and huge stadia. About the pass, though, Stagg says, "It changed football from a bruising, mass encounter into an interesting game." Stagg in- troduced the first big quarterback to football. Previously only small men ran the team, but Stagg fin- ally assigned a 196-pounder, Walt Kennedy, present publisher of an Albion, Mich., newspaper, to the signal-calling post, and the op- posing strategy blew up, unable to cope with his rough-house tactics. Stagg sees no reason for the Big Ten rule prohibiting post-season games. "There's really no need for such complete isolation," he opines. "A game late in the season, especially around the Christmas holidays, should not interfere with scholastic routine and would not over-empha- size football." * * * DOTS AND DASHES: Wally Weber l has spotted a new kind of block s in use this season. "It's the Mickey f Mouse block," explains Wally. "They throw their heads into the ground, e stick up their rump and hope and t pray that someone falls over it." ... - Movies of the Iowa-Michigan game t reveal that when Trosko pitched a e pass on Iowa's two-yard line in a bit e of misdirected strategy, the Wolver- ? ine left end was standing alone in n the end zone, watching the ball sail toward the right side of the field ... .I I 1 A.T.O.

Phi Kappa Sigma started off with a rush and led A.T.O. at the half 5 to 1, which lead they increased to 8 to 2 before Alpha Tau turned on the I heat.

War Admiral Wins Race After Five Month Rest LAUREL, Md., Oct. 26.-(R)--Back in the races after a five-months lay- off, War Admiral galloped a mile and sixteenth in 1:46 today to win easily his "comeback" dash. The son of Man O' War crossed the line two and a half lengths ahead of J. A. Manfuso's Aneroid, and six and a half lengths in front of E. D. Shaffer's Floradora. ILLINI CLICK CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Oct. 26.-(P)- Illinois' Varsity eleven, led by Jay Wardley and Bob Wehrli, demon- istrated new offensive power today in scoring five touchdowns against third 'string and freshman teams using a Michigan defense. Only in the aerial department did . the Illini appear weak. On defense, the Varsity re- peatedly broke up Wolverine plays.

Furthermore, Hagan suggests, "A football game is no longer a football game when teams as powerful as ours can run roughshod over teams of schools which under normal con- ditions do not attract an abundance of football material." Wonder what the Pitt-Fordham score was this sea- son? Or the Pitt-Duquesne score last season? Or the Pitt-Minnesota scor in '35? Can you, too, detect, a not of incrimination in Hagan's remarks? Maybe, if this keeps up Michigan can get on Pitt's schedule by 1941. Acacia Wins Another team to come from behind, was Acacia which, although behind at the half 2 to 1, speeded up their attack on Phi Gamma Delta and, led by Brown and Cound, scored a decisive 6 to 3 triumph. Perhaps the day's greatest sur- prise was furnished by Kappa Nu, who held Chi Psi, fraternity athletic champions, to a 5-all tie, and for a time threatened to register a de- cided upset. Ed Greenwald and'Bob Harrison were the stars for Chi Psi and Kappa Nu, respectively. The overtime was postponed because of darkness. Pilams Romp The most convincing victory was registered by the Pi Lambda Phi nine who decisively downed Phi Kappa Tau 7 to 2. Holding their opponents scoreless during the first half, they were never threatened and, led by Cyrus Elkes, Maurice Hoffman, and Paul Soboroff, dribbled up and' down the field almost at will to com- pletely outplay the less-experienced Phi Kap team. The Alpha Sigma Phi-Beta Theta Pi game was called off when neither team showed up on playing time. Second Cage Drill Of Season Is Held Brisk drills in passing, dribbling, and ball-handling, featured the Var- sity's basketball team's second work- out of the season last night at the Intramural Sports Building. Captain John Townsend, all-Con- ference forward last season, heads the list of returning veterans who are working out. Herm Fishman, Eddie Thomas, and Leo Beebe are the other lettermen who have reported. Among last year's reserves who are making a-bid for places on the team; ,are Mannie Slavin, Dick Long, Bill Lane, and Ben Weaver. Charley Pink, Jim Rae, and Bob Palmer, appear to be the class of last year's freshman cagers, while Dave Wood and Max Warshaw are a pair of juniors also seeking berths.

The Bears wereon top last week, it's true, but by no such lopsided margin as is theirs this week. Of the 57 contributing experts, all but nine weighed in with their first-place vote for California. As a result the Coast Conference contenders earned a total of 556 points, to 408 for Pitts- burgh, which displaced Alabama as runner-up. Pitt Gets Three Behind the Panthers, who got three of the remaining first-place nomina- tions, comes the Crimson Tide, which got none; Minnesota's gilded, if not quite golden, Gophers, who got two, and Yale, also with two. These five are the same who oc- cupied the top brackets a week ago. The rest of the first ten, however, includes four Johnny-come-latelys: Baylor, which moved from 15th to sixth;Vanderbilt, from a tie for 20th to seventh; Dartmouth, from 18th' to ninth, and Ohio State, from 12th to eighth. The remaining member l is Fordham, at No. 10. L. S. U. Demoted Those demoted from the company of the elect were Louisiana State, which skidded into 17th place as a result of its defeat by Vanderbilt; Northwestern, dropped out of seventh place through its loss to the Buck- eyes, and Nebraska and Duke, which lost ground despite the fact they came out of last Saturday's strife with whole hides.
