Show FOOTBALL SET FOR BIG Yffl O O O O O O O 0 0-Jj COLLEGE GAME IS IMPROVl . . . . . H in mi LI i s Football appears to hi- all set for another whale of a year. The gridiron Is no longer a purely high-brow sport, of Interest only to the collegian. The common people have gone in for it strong. The open gani . featuring the forward for-ward pass, the triple threat, open field running, and plenty of kicking, hae made for great popularity. The open game provides much action, plenty of thrills, and the spectator spec-tator always is able to follow tho ball. Football is no longer a trick game, wlo re the player gets the ball and then all the rest crowd around and engage In a tug of war over him. CONSTANTLY IN BIGHT. With the ball constantly In sight, th. football enthusiast of today thinks he knows as much about the game as' the baseball fan does about the na-' tlonal pastime. in a sense football has become thei national fall sport, as baseball is of the summer. Two inor.- things nave entered largely into its popularity Intersei ttonal contests and the smaller college' teams' prowess. Despite the so-called agitation against lntersectlonallsm football, something like f.rj such games are scheduled for 192-. Prominent among them are the meetings between Centre and Har-Lrd, Har-Lrd, Princeton and Chicago, and Vale1 and Iowa. Centre sprang Into prominence in 1920 by giving Harvard a terrific battle. This made such a hit that too' little Kentucky institution was glv.-n a return dab Centre! triumph .. r Harvard last year Is now a matter of football history. Centre students will, talk about It for years. On the oth- r hand. Harvard feels Its defeat keen-lv keen-lv 'i Usually a university Itkti Harvard1 makes little preparation for a game with a small college like Centre.' Things arc quite the contrary this! year. LOTS i l M.l Recently I isitr-d the Harvard stadium to look over the "grid" material ma-terial That was several weeks before be-fore the real opening of the football i season. Th- game with Centre was being much talked about. Harvard is set on giving little Centre a trimming. I'ndoubtedlyl Centro is well aware of thai fact. Perhaps Coach Charley Moran will surprise tho football world again byi turning out another Lam that will make Harvard step. Princeton goes west to tackle the viinersuy or jnicago. Once again a member of the so-called Big Three j has a problem on Its hands. Last fall Chicago defeated Prince-' ton decisively a real triumph for1 western football. THEI i III i ffG Princeton wants to win from Chl-i cago as much as Harvard does from' Centre. Coach Bill Roper of Prlnc. ?n Mready pointing his team for the Chicago game.
