Tlllt EE Ej LINCOLN SUNDAY JOURNAL AND STAR, NOVEMBER 16, 1911 Bill Dalev scores Bradley slips thru Pitt line for first down touchdowns to set pace for 34-13 Gopher victory three MayBep Hawkeyes in game for initial half Denver wallops Colorado Mines by 41-0 count DENVER. (INS). The scoring power of the Denver Pioneers, manhandled most of the season, broke loose Saturday to pile up six touchdowns and defeat Colorado Mines, 41 to 0, in the 44th renewal of an ancient gridiron rivalry. The game was viewed by 9,000 fans. Ed Estlow, Pioneer halfback, gave his teammates a 52 yard touchdown running start in the opening period.

He sprinted to pay dirt on a lateral from Dan Clinger and added another shortly after when he piled thru from the 7-yard line. Wright and Walsmith each tallied for the Pioneers in the second period to give them a 27 point margin at halftime. WITH NINE MINUTES OF THE FIRST QUARTER GONE, NEBRASKA'S blockers opened for a 10 yard gain. Ealph Fife, Pitt's ae senior guard, brought Bradley down. a.

Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones, the Panther screwball doing the talking in the shower room of the Pittsburgh dressing room immediately after Pitt's 14 to 7 triumph Saturday. "I sure thought I had another ofi that last pass but I guess 1 was just too tired to make it. Somebody came out of nowhere and set me down but we won and that's what counts." The Panther squad was jubilant and the Pitt coaches were over Michigan rolls past Columbia Kuzma, Westfall lead Wolverines NEW YORK. (IP). If the well-meaning Columbia Lions never see either Tom Kuzma or Bob West-fall again as long as they live it probably will be soon enough, for what those two disguised express trains did to the Light1 Blue" in the course of, Michigan's 28 to 0 victory here Saturday shouldn't happen to any member of the Ivy league.

Westfall, 186 pounds of the material they put into fire plugs, shattered Columbia's defenses for three touchdowns, while Kuzma, his 196 pound sophomore running mate, scored another and generally beat the Lions' defense into a state of utter dejection before Coach Fritz Crisler took pity early in the second half and wraDDed his twin stars in blankets for the rest of the game. If they had remained in there all the way there is no telling how big a score the huskies from the midwest would have run up. Averages 11 Yards. Kuzma, the sophomore who has been, hailed as another Tommy Harmon, had the capacity crowd of 35,000 at Baker field wondering if the boy might not have been underestimated. He carried the ball 15 times and gained 169 yards, or an average of more than 11 yards every time he lugged the leather.

As for Westfall, he also carried 15 times and picked up 86 yards averaging 5 yards for each effort. He plunged 7 yards for his first touchdown, 3 for the second and split the middle of the Columbia line for 22 yards on his third escape. Each time several tacklers had hold of him, but he either shook them loose or carried them on over the line with him. 17 First Downs. Led by these two explosive citizens.

Michigan rolled up 359 yards on the ground and made 17 first downs. Columbia, which never threatened even lightly until late in the closing period, when it carried the ball down to Michigan's 9 against the Wolverines' third team, made only 33 yards by rushing. All but two of the Light Blue's first downs came on passes. Paul Governali completed 18 of them for 121 yards. With Kuzma contributing a brilliant 21 yard run, it took Michigan only four running plays toHravel 37 yards to its first score.

The big Michigan forwards literally tossed the Columbia line aside. Church leagues to sponsor cage clinic Ad Lewandowskl, Husker basketball coach, and O. L. Webb, state high school secretary, will address a basketball clinic to be held for the Y. M.

C. A. church league players and managers, next Thursday at 7:15. Dr. Eddie Anderson's Iowa Hawkeyes will be here Saturday to resume a relationship with Nebraska which at the moment appears to be a fixture on the Corn-husker schedule.

This game had been originally slated for Iowa City but the- Hawkeye officials decided their community couldn't stand two attractions like Minnesota and Nebraska hand running. The Hawks played here last year. OurHusk-ers possessing Tom Farmer. the punch in those days, convert ing a break into a touchdown in the first seven minutes when Herm Rohrig got off a quick kick which carried and rolled 70 yards and Bill Green fumbled on his own 15.

Bill Burkett, Hawkeye soph omore end, gathered in a short kickoff and went skimming down the east sideline for 78 yards and a touchdown. That ended the scoring, 1 A 1 It- Dill miscue proved costly early in the game, this 182 pounder proved that he was one of the better backs that Nebraska looked at during the entire season.

Iowa's triple threater Is Tom Farmer, ably backed by Jim Youel. And the big thing about this year's Hawk eleven is that it is a veteran unit, not a sophomore appearing anywhere in the starting lineup. It's Green and Bernard Mertes who provide the speed in the Hawk backfield. Another important thing is that this will be the Hawk's last game of the season. They'll be gunning for the first Iowa victory on Husker soil since the modern series was resumed in 1930.

WORKS IN 1902. Old timers In Oklahoma are chuckling about all the fuss made over the quick lineup play Missouri used against Nebraska and employed by Minnesota to beat Northwestern. According to Harold Keith, sports publicist for the University of Oklahoma, the Soon-ers used the same play to score on Missouri in 1902. On the first play after the opening kickoff, the Sooners moved into position quickly, snapped the ball to Frank and he streaked 80 yards to a touchdown. That put five points on the score board, but it was the beginning of the end for the Oklahomans.

"Missouri not only won the game, 22 to 5," Keith relates, "but the rough Tigers knocked some gold out of Alex Clements' teeth, tore a ligament in his shoulder, twister Fred Green's neck into a neat figure eight, knocked Halfback Duncan into dreamland and stuck Clyde Bogle a solar plexus blow that rivaled the celebrated punch with which Fitzsimmons had nailed CorWtt only five years earlier." RANDON SHOTS. Missouri players didn't like the scratching and twisting they took when they played Michigan State Jimmy Conzelman says if it wasn't for offensive football, coaches wouldn't be needed The boys play the defensive side of football naturally, Jimmy argues. Halsey Hall's compliment to two gridiron gentlemen is a tribute to Dana X. Bible, Texas, and Jimmy Crowley, Fordham, for their after game statements last weekend: Said Crowley, after the Pitt game: "They were ready and we weren't" After Baylor, Bible said: "We had some stars injured, but so did Baylor" Biff Jones, who will help coach the West again this winter in the annual East-West game at San Francisco, said that two different groups from this section have already inquired where they could obtain tickets He suggests anyone going to this game send checks to the East-west bnrinc committee at San Francisco.

Overtime goals by Fred Thurrier and Buzz Boll gave the Brooklyn Americans their first victory of the National hockey league season Saturday night. 4 to 2, over the Montreal Canadlens. Jaspers tie Holy Cross WORCESTER, UP). A fighting Manhattan college football team cashed in on two big breaks to gain a surprising 13-13 tie with a favored, more powerful Holy Cross eleven in a thrill-Jammed hattle Saturday, and if it hiidn't been for a holding penalty on the try for the second extra point, the Jaspers would have been a 14-13 victor.

i ON THE HUSKERS FIRST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE Dale Bradley skirted the Panther right side for 25 yards, starting on his own 34-yard line. But when he was tackled, he fumbled and Pitt's Bill Uenghouser recovered. (Staff photos.) Minnesota cops 16th straight IOWA CITY, la. (UP). Driving Bll Daley scored three touchdowns as Minnesota rolled on toward an other Big Ten football championship Saturday and stayed in the running for the mythical national title by defeating Iowa, 34 to 13.

It was. the 16th consecutive victory for the Golden Gophers and it amply avenged their last defeat, which occurred in this same stadium almost two years ago to the day. For the first few minutes it looked the 42,500 spectators would be witnesses to a major upset. Iowa quickly marched 34 yards for a touchdown after Halfback Tommy Farmer set up the opportunity by returning a Minnesota punt 22 yards. Fullback Bill Green went over from the three and Farmer converted.

But then Bruce Smith, who was Injured two. weeks ago and was unable to compete against Ne braska last week, ran out and took over the Minnesota left half spot from little Bud Higgins. Daley Goes Over. Five plays and slightly more than a minute later, Minnesota had tied the score at 7 to 7. Smith threw two passes to Quarterback Bill Garnaas put the ball on Iowa's three, and Daley went over.

In the second period, with Smith contributing a 31 yard run and a pass that was good for 27 yards, Minnesota swept 95 yards to go ahead, 13 to 7. Iowa made its last serious threat a few minutes later, when a fumbled pass was good ifor 77 yards and a touchdown. Farmer threw to Buz Mertes who caught the ball on Minnesota's 47 and then let it pop out of his hands. Quar terback Al Couppee picked it up and ran across the goal. Hits Line Minnesota went ahead, 20 to 13, before the half ended when Daley went over from the 3 yard lme, The third period was scoreless, but Minnesota displayed its famed power in the final quarter to run up two more touchdowns.

Higgins scored one from the yard line after sparking a 56 yard drive arid Garnaas made the other on a 17 yard run. It climaxed-a march which saw 206 pound Bob Swiger make 46 yards and four first downs in four smashes thru the weakening Iowa line. 26 First Downs. The power of Minnesota's backs was shown the statistics. The Gophers made 26 first downs to nine for Iowa and gained 323 yards by rushing compared with 88 for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa passing was superior, however, netting 134 yards in 16 attempts. Minnesota gained 74 yards in eight attempts thru the air. Bruising Bill Daley was Minnesota's leading ground gainer with 139 yards in 28 attempts. Bill Green was best for Iowa with 58 yards in 14 tries. The lineups: POR.

On the average, too much weight is detrimental to the swing of most ordinary shooters, the survey said. Of the 97 players studied, 90 used the overlapping grip, seven the interlocking. Seventy employed the square stance, 14 the closed and 13 the open. It was noted there was a tendency toward a narrow position, apparently directed at better pivoting. Style Revealed.

Three basic points of swinging style were revealed. They were: Sense of balance thruout the swing, with rating on footwork; rating on the pivot or body motion; control of the club thruout the swing, the test being made on the player's hand, not wrist, motion. "It may be that more efficient methods of study are available." Novak concluded. "But this much is true.

As far as that goes, the Huskers showed no signs of a let-up, altho the press row observed that Schleich, Clarence Herndon, Kelly, Abel, Fred Meier, Blue Metheny, Marvin Thompson Husker passes likes BraTUey time greats and the man who has scouted the Huskers all season was sji. smiles.

"Well, I guess it was about our turn. We played dumb football the first half and Nebraska was in there really fighting for all they were worth. Your Huskers haven't any luck at all, have they?" While Jones was being patted on the back by "liis mates and Pitt followers, the Panther squad hurried thru their showers, pausing here and there to say to a mate, "Swell game, pal, put 'er there." "It was about time we were beating those guys," was tall Harry Kindelberger's comment. "Those Huskers were "They've all been tough this year," Bowser interrupted, "and don't forget we've got Penn State on our hands next Saturday." Use Only 19 Men. Pitt came thru the game without a serious injury.

Ralph Fife, the gent who place kicked both extra points, was pretty badly used up. He was ill all week but insisted on starting Saturday's battle. Big 220 pound Jack Durishan, sophomore tackle, who was hurt in the Fordham game got in for a few minutes. Bowser called upon only 19 men. Gervelis and Benghouser played the full 60 minutes.

It was a tired but tremendously happy bunch of boys that treked out of the dressing room at dusk headed for their team cars at the Burlington. Pitt headed for home at 8:15 p. m. 8 Open Alleys 9 P. M.

"We pulled that one out of the fire, didn't we?" head man Char ley Bowser elated. "Our bojrs played grand football that last half but the way the game went I think it should have been about even." "The Huskers, particularly that fellow Bradley, played great football the first two periods.

And that tall boy, Preston, your No. 50, can play end on anybody's ball Bowser declared. "That was the third straight game that Jones has come thru on a similar play," the Pitt mentor added. "He and Dutton were' great and Fife was outstanding while he was in there." Arnold Greene, one of Pitt's all Samcnt first to score on Ord but loses ORD, Neb.

Arnold Scott, Montana halfback, broke away just before the end of the first quarter to run 57 yards down the soggy turf for the first Grizzly Score. The conversion was not good. In the second quarter Montana recovered an Idaho fumble and after a series of power plays, Eso Narranche, Grizzly fullback, went over from the 4-yard line. Narranche PGA study shows what's wrong with duffer's game ter, was alert. He fell on the loose ball and the play went for a 23 yard total gain.

Four plays later, Dutton did the damaP and Ralph Fife, a splendid guard, hqbbled off the bench to kick the tieing point. His effort splif the uprights. Then he was helped off the field. The same procedure was repeated after Jones' interception gallop. If Nebraska ever lost a tough one, this was it.

The Beavers rolled on. Ihe ground to a Umchdown In the third period and were satisfied with that margin. Joe Day. chunky Orrgon State fullback, did the heavy work in the Beavers' 35 yard touchdown drive, (Continued from Page 1-B.) This time, however, Fred Metheny blocked the path. But that was only 3 yards distance from another score.

And that's where this pair rolled out of bounds in a heap. That's the End. That was the end, and not a spectator in the largest home gathering of the season had ever Su3i seen "went" against the team they had been hoping to see break into the scoring column. Don't get the impression that this ball game belonged to Pitt. It didn't and by a comfortable margin.

After a scoreless first period that saw the possession of the ball change NINE times, the Huskers, their spirit and determination at a peak that equalled their Minnesota performance, rolled. Depending on the deception that emerged from the use of the formation, Nebraska went along flawlessly. If Major Jones had been looking. for a scoring punch, he saw one being developed. It was the merry magic of the that got things going.

In the first place, the Huskers, piloted by the steady head of Fred Metheny, showed some plays that they hadn't unleashed before. For example, there was Metheny. given the ball by Center Howard Kelly and then the Husker quarter would fire a quick, side puss to Halfbacks Marv Athey or Wayne Sindt. Use Cross Buck. Then there was the cross-buck off the that had Metheny faking the ball to either Athey or Fullback Wayne Blue, and handing it instead to Bradley or Long.

The N. U. touchdown drive started cn the Nebraska 32. Ten plays latur the first 6 points were chalked up. The two most important plays of the series had Bradley in the ball-toting role.

Once he shot around ena. Big George Abel, the Huskers' game captain, not only led the interference but he crashed into a pair of would-be Panthers and they both went down. Meanwhile, Brad ley scampered some 22 yards. On the next play Bradley again got the ball. His knee-chopping legs pumped up and tjown.

Pitt was completely fooled on the cross buck nnd the former Bethany wizard got all the way down to the 3 yard line. He went over, untouched one play later. Vic Schleich booted iron man" roles again. And it was much different from a week ago. Up in cold, cold Minneapolis this feat was accomplished.

But here in hot, hot Lincoln the job wasn't carried out to the success desired. Still, Nebraska sponsored a second fine drive. It went 77 yards. It started way back on the Husker 20. Add that up and the result puts you on the Pitt 3-yard stripe.

That's as far as those determined Cornhuskers got. It was 18 plays this time. Once, even Abel, who pulled out of his post like a sprinter, got his hands on the ball. He picked up 14 big yards. Metheny Gambles.

Metheny was forced to gamble at one point, but on a quarterback sneak he picked up the necessary yard on a fourth down lunge and the yardage parade was still moving. Long, the Blair sophomore, played a fine role, too, but the show ended too soon three yards too soon. One play, a heave to the sidelines by Metheny to Long, saw the red-faced recefver getting 20 yards. Directly after that, Long cut off on the cross-buck again for 14 more. It Was fourth down and three to go for a second score.

The ball was directly in front of the goal posts, but tha Huskers didn't attempt a field goal. They wanted a touchdown or nothing. They got nothing. Long slipped as he attempted to flee over tackle and Pitt took over on the Husker 6. With five minutes gone in the final period, Pitt gathered top steam.

Jones and Dutton lugged the ball from their own 38 to the Nebraska 32 In exactly half a dozen plays. Dutton Acores. Next, Jones broke off tackle. He was hit and hit hard after a 15 yard gain and as he went down, the ball bounced from his hands. Steve Sinclair, the Panther cen many CHICAGO.

UP. Don't read this, golfers, if you're satisfied with your score. It's a summary of a report made this week to the Professional Golfers association by Joe Novak of Los chairman of the P. G. A.

teaching program. It's not guaranteed to clip ten strokes off your game or keep you out of sand traps. But the P. G. after a comprehensive study of the games of 97 entrants In the P.

G. A. championship last July, thinks it may help thousands of players diagnose their own faults and make it easier for many pupils to assimilate the instruction of their teachers. Clubt Too Heavy. For one thing, is the 'driver you use one of the right weight and length for your swing? Novak's survey disclosed that the stars line a driver 43 inches long, weighing 134 ounces.

The P. O. A. experimenters believe that too many average playing only once or twice a week, use too heavy clubs in the belief they will get.
