P f iE were an exception exception- ally strong line r merely mer e 1 y overshadowed 0 over over- v e r- r fj sha shadowed dowed in the ther r- r rj F j- j rn 4 matter of publicity Miller Miller Mil Mil- by ta ler Crowley and Layden Rip can Ai- Ai L j AA 1 still tell you about the time the Seven Mules stopped Er- Er nie nU Nevers and Stanford on the one one- yard line with four shots at the goal Everyone knows what the football situation Is Rip said The first Job Is to feet et et the ma ma- This is the big scramble and dont don't let anybody tell you yon they dont don't go after material just justas as keenly in one section as they do In another The colleges dont don't pay but the alumni do and I mean every con con- ference Big Nine and all aU This is something I can prove What is coaching Rip asked Ninety per cent of coaching is the material you have I get a laugh when I read about certain great coaches who only happen to have havethe havethe havethe the best material A dozen coaches could win with that sort of mate mate- I rial And win just as easily MayI Maybe Maybe May May- be two dozen coaches could do the I same Rip Knows the Answers Rip has been around a long time and if 11 he doesn't know the answer answer answer an an- who does He is per cent right about coaches and material He was also right about the hy- hy of so many of the spotless leagues who are after every good I football player in sight Especially where they have football scholar scholar- ships And a big cash reserve We have a tough job at Navy Rip said The course is hard both mentally and physically with so many long working hours a day there isn't much time tune left for foot foot- ball It is all aU tired concentration We have an outstanding star as a rookie Hes He's really some some- thing Hes He's leaving leaving cant cant can't take It Weve We've got the greatest bunch of young fellows here you yon ever saw v. Not many football players Great officer material Too many good football players today want it easy Good pay and little work Its It's a good Job if you youcan youcan youcan can get it Only we cant can't offer them any such set One answer is they are aiming for the Bears Eagles Yankees Giants Giants Giants Gi Gi- Gi- Gi ants etc Maybe a year for playing 15 or 20 minutes a game As long as pro owners remain the suckers they have been so far S S Rose Bowl Contestants Contestants' Three of the four major bowls are all set for a big show The Cotton bowl able ahle to handle has as the major at at- at traction The Sugar bowl now a attraction attraction attraction at at- traction can look over the field field field- North Carolina Georgia Tech Georgia Geor- Geor gia gla Missouri or possibly Tulane The Orange bowl up around the mark will have two of the best teams in the country from the unbeaten and untied list Certainly the Sugar and Orange bowls wont won't suffer suITer with five or six strong teams waiting to be tapped or tagged This brings us os to the Rose bowl Michigan l the present champion cant can't go Neither can Illinois now one of the stronger strong strong- er Big Nine teams It begins to look as I if Northwest Northwest- em era rn would be the Big Nine tion Michigan has already crushed Northwestern 28 to 0 O. Notre Dame will do the same Ohio State Minnesota Min Mm and Illinois have already been grounded too many times This takes us to the west coast California looks to be the best team in that sector If California goes through unbeaten will the Golden Bears be willing to meet Northwestern Northwestern North North- western This depends on how much I or how little pride the West coast has left Its It's a joke situation I Other Contenders Too Now theres there's another Rose bowl bow vl bo angle Oregon beaten 14 to 0 by Michigan l barely able to get by Southern California and St. St M Marys Mary's rys ry's a point one-point scramble only has a afew afew afew few more hurdles left Oregon hasn't lost Jost a con conference game Oregon can lead California by seven conference wins to six and thereby get the Rose bowl vote under a rule which favors the team that has been without a bowl bid bidI I for the longer time This is a perI perfect per per- feet comic opera situation or could I be This would leave California possibly possibly pos pos- sibly the best team developed on the West Vest coast in m many ny years out of the Rose bowl It would bring together Oregon and Northwestern which would plant the famous Rose bowl in num ber four position among the major majos bowls i |
